Hello,
My thanks to everyone who took the time to leave feedback. You're the best!
I am especially pleased that a lot of you thought I captured Cat's voice. I must admit that I don't particularly like her as a character, and she is about as opposite me in personality as you can get, so "finding my inner Cat" was a challenge, but admittedly a fun one.
Tank, sorry I "scooped" you! But please don't let my story prevent you from writing and posting yours! I'd hate to be responsible for there being one less Tank story out there. And after all, fanfic isn't like newspaper articles -- there's no prohibition against having duplicate subject matter. Plus, I am really curious about how someone whose work I admire tremendously would write a story with a theme similar to one I wrote. I expect that I could learn a lot from a compare/contrast of the stories.
I'm with AntiKryptonite in being glad that Cat never did get that date with Clark. I don't think that Clark would find such a date enjoyable. Although come to think of it, there may be an interesting story here. What if *Cat* had won the date with Superman at the charity bachelor auction in ILtY? Hmmm... I'll have to think about that one. Does anyone know whether such a story has been written already? And even if it has, unless Cat knew CK=S, it would be a very different story from mine. My muse has never liked the idea of sequels, as much as I try to persuade her otherwise. But I think that this particular sequel could be a lot of fun. Maybe if I give her enough Double Fudge Crunch bars, I'll be able to persuade her to make an exception this time. And in the meantime, if anyone else feels the desire to write such a story, they have my encouragement to write a sequel to my story.
Joy,
Lynn
