Is there an emoticon for a loud, riproaring standing ovation? If there is, put it here and double it, no triple it.
Wow, CC! This was fantastic and you deserve every bit of praise these folc give you.
Yesterday, in preparation for today's "The End" instalment, I reread the first 17 parts. What amazed me is how tightly written this story is. Right from instalment one when Tempus mentioned something about (sorry, I'm too lazy to find the quote) Lois's diary saying they flew to the Planet early in the morning and not at night, did it dawn on me that you had every detailed planned out. Wow!
Every character had a specific role that developed throughout the story. Wow!
The actual writing was excellent. Great characterization, great, great dialogue and, of course, great plot with enough waffiness for all!
My greatest fear was the reset. I knew it had to happen, but I kept hoping that it wouldn't. I feared a Wellsian slip back minutes before the actual time-travelling. It seemed, in my mind, so contrived. But you, the master storyteller, didn't do that; instead, you gave Lois and Clark the opportunity to understand why the reset button had to be pushed and have them accepting, grudgingly, but accepting nontheless the inevitable. As I read that, I thought that it was so right. It couldn't have been any other way.
Wow!
