Oooooh! Lookie, lookie at all this wonderful fdk! <giggles excitedly>
Hi bakasi! Thank you. I'm glad you liked the Star Wars reference and the fight in the kitchen. <g> I had a lot of fun writing this part and have been writing it and tweaking it on and off for 3 months now. <g> Thanks for the fdk!
Hi Sheila! Hee hee - wow, a party!
Yes, you were right about the ring. <g> I hope you had a good class yesterday and I'll look forward to your fdk. Thanks Sheila!
Hi Barbara! You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Laura S! LOL! I love that your responses start with "EEEEE!" Hee hee, it makes me "EEEEE!" in return. <g>
Ahh! their banter is SO cute. I'm like... squealing. Childishly.
<giggles> I can just hear this somehow. <g> I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for the fdk! I'm so happy now too. <g>
Hi Julie! Awww! I'm so glad to know you're reading! Thanks for leaving fdk on this part. Ahhhh, another SW geek, I feel an immediate kinship to you. <g> Okay, that's one vote for combining the chapters. Thanks Julie!
Hi Jojo! I've missed you! <hug> I'm so glad you're still with me and are still loving the story. You have no idea the girlish squeal I let out when I read that you rush to the boards to see if it's updated. <g> Thanks for the fdk!
Hi Jackie! Thanks!
Hi doublel! Really? I'm always excited when I can come up with an idea that someone hasn't read before. <g> Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Annette! Thanks for your fdk (and your e-mails, they were such a nice surprise). I'm glad you loved this chapter. Thanks.
Hi Caroline!
I just read all 19 parts in one go, and this story rocks my world!
yours is awesome...
now I'm just a big Caroline-shaped puddle of goo...
<DJ begins to feel faint>
This coming from the author of the HoL story "If I Were You"? Wow, Caroline, you have no idea what a compliment that was. Thank you! Wow.
You mentioned some of my favorite parts as well. <g> I'm so so glad to know you're reading and enjoying it. Thank you for the fdk!
Hi Lisa! I've missed you! <hug> I'm so glad to see you. Thanks for the fdk and I'm glad you got caught up and are still reading/enjoying it.
Hi Anna! Thanks for the fdk! Eeee heee! Glad you loved it. Yeah, I figured all you clever FoLCs would know what was up. <g> I actually wanted to use my husband's proposal from almost 12 years ago, but unfortunately, Spiderman 3 stole it and then I didn't want to use it because I figured someone would think I had taken it from Spiderman. Hubby slipped my ring into a glass of wine... unfortunately I didn't see it and took a big gulp. You should have seen the look on his face - he was terrified I was going to drink it. LOL. But then I saw it. He fished it out and dropped down on one knee and proposed. <g> But, seeing how Lois just LOVES chocolate, and Clark knows that, I thought this proposal was fitting. <g>
Hi Lara! LOL! You all have to know what Lara went through for me when she was beta reading my chocolate proposal... she went to a chocolate shop nearby where she works to ask the chocolate maker there, questions for me. If a ring could be put into chocolate, etc... The guy gave her some pretty interesting looks at the questions she was asking - LOL. Lara, bless your sweet little heart.
I know I haven't said so lately - or at least not in public *lol* - but I love this story. [Smile]
*happy sigh* It's really a great one!!
Awwww! Thank you so much <sniffle> I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for the fdk. <g>
Hi Ann! <bg> Somehow I just knew you'd love this part...
<snort> <splutter> Oh DJ, you did let her spank him!!!! [Rotflol]
LOL! Yes I did. <g>
You must have really really enjoyed this part - we didn't even get a visit from the voice of reason - LOLS!
Ooooh, you thought the proposal was perfect? Thank you!
Yes, we are waiting for them to get married... and yes, there were 4 more parts. However, I think I might combine 20 & 21 into one part. So that means instead of 23, there will be 22. So now there are 3 parts left. Part 20 will be around 15 pages - 21 will be around 15 pages and the finale is around 12.
You have some more angst up your sleeve, DJ, don't deny it!
Deny it? LOL! I'll proudly announce it. There are a couple of more angsty parts before conclusion! Fasten your seatbelts FoLCs because this rollercoaster is winding up to the finish.
I'm glad that so many of you have enjoyed the angstwaff mixture.
I think it was so clever, too, to keep Clark powerless for so long by depositing kryptonite in his wound. That was an entirely new idea, or at least I think so, and it opened up so many new possibilities! Tipsy!Clark... hmmmmm. [Big Grin]
Thanks Ann. I thought it was a good way for Lois and Clark to explore how they really felt about each other, their true feelings. And yes, it was a lot of fun to explore some new possibilities - like Tipsy!Clark. <g> Thanks for your fdk, Ann.
Thanks again so much, everyone! I'm already starting to get a little sniffly that we are so close to the end. Only 3 parts left! And I just finished the finale this morning. So the thing is now completed. Lara and Sue already have the next to last part, but I'll be sending them that last part soon. <BIG HUG> Thank you both so much - you've been wonderful!
