Thank you, you all
I am really happy you all enjoyed WAM! I had a lot of fun writing the last part, especially.
Lois, who started out as a character I dreaded approaching because I was afraid I would get her wrong. The first part I wrote with her in it took me an extra long time to tweak to my satisfaction, but once I had her nuances nailed down, she turned into my favorite character to write as the story progressed. So it thrills me you all enjoyed my characterization of her!
As for the loose ends, I felt it would cheapen the victory to let Trask and Thompson kill each other. As much as that would make things easier for Clark, it's oh so much funner this way =p There is also the added revenge dampener of Trask now being diverted back to Thompson, and Thompson being too pragmatic to really care about Clark much. So we'll see how that pans out
And yes, I am setting up for a sequel, although, no, it hasn't been written
It's a glimmer though! I've started working on the details, making notes, etc. Hopefully my life won't be too crazy and I can pursue it!
Thanks again for all the lovely feedback and support
