I have not read hers yet; that will wait until morning-proper... My muse inspired me in the middle of the night (It is 2:45am as I type), and I wanted to get my story down while Thalia was with me. (She has been social distancing from me for most of this past year.) I wrote my story before seeing Queenie had posted, and I read just enough of hers to realize two things: 1) Her story is sufficiently different from mine to warrant my posting my story despite their shared locale. 2) As always, her writing is infinitely superior to my own. I hope you enjoyed Down in the Dumps? but I would welcome feedback either way. Thanks, Lynn

I like how you turned the "unromantic" locale into a romantic one by tying it into Lois and Clark's personal history; definitely a stroke of brilliance there. I'm also disproportionately pleased at Lois being the one to propose. g Major kudos! (And thanks for all the flattery ^_^) ~•~

You have dedicated your life to making things better: Both you-Clark and you-Superman give your all to bring out the best in people and to make the entire city and world a better place. You have even managed to make me see this dump as special. So it seemed only fitting that this would be the place I would ask you…” Lois sank to one knee. “Clark Kent, will you marry me?” What a howl! Let the Kerth challenges begin! Morgana A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

I was actually just thinking that the Sewage Plant would make a perfect setting for this challenge. Bravo for packing such a sweet story into such few words. I really wish I had the talent you possess!

Queenie, I'm glad you enjoyed my story; I certainly enjoyed yours as well. Bakasi, thanks for the well wishes. I, too, hope my muse stays nearby. Morgana, I'm looking forward to seeing what the remaining Kerth challenge prompts are, as well as seeing what stories are inspired by them. Deadly Chakram, I guess the grass is always greener... I've always admired your ability to spin much longer yarns. Be well all, Lynn

I mean '?’ Quote “Just one last thing…” She sensed them leave the ground as they kissed. Just how private are they? I mean, police? Onlookers? Quote she asked Clark to take them to the Metropolis Sewage Reclamation Facility. One last dump for old time’s sake? Quote It is here that I started to respect you, and that respect was the start of my love for you. Yeah, they can never tell anyone even their normal meet-cute story. KATIE KENT: My Mom started to respect my Dad when he made her go dumpster diving. Quote Now I want you to find the Godzilla that I hid here. You may use your vision gizmo to do so.” Did she hide the ring in there? Isn’t that still kind of risky? Quote He had seen the silver band she had attached to the toy. Aww.. See? CLARK: You were mad enough to throw out both Superzilla and his sidekick Ringlet? Quote You have even managed to make me see this dump as special. Aww they found a new place for date night. I sure had fun there, Lynn! Thanks for the giggles. Michael Join us on the #loisclark Discord server! We talk about fanfic, our favorite show, life, and more!

Quote KATIE KENT: My Mom started to respect my Dad when he made her go dumpster diving. What's one more secret for the family to keep? Quote Thanks for the giggles. You've more than returned the favour. Thank you. Joy, Lynn
