mrsMxyzptlk: I was hoping you'd drop by.
Me? Miss a story about my hubby? Of course not!
Though I do need to be better about actually commenting...
Wow, that was not where I thought that story was headed.
Um.... Thanks?
I mean that in a good way. When Mxy made the other man disappear, and especially after Clark disappeared, I thought that Lois and Clark were going to figure out what he'd done with the men and free them. And I thought that the one year was a deadline, i.e., that Lois had to "change" in whatever manner the weird man thought she needed to within the year, or she'd never see Clark again. Given that interpretation, if she could figure it out sooner, she'd get him back sooner.
But I like the direction you went with it. It was especially interesting to see how the world would have dealt with the New Kryptonians if Clark hadn't been around to diffuse the situation.
I love to use it for comedic purposes, such as here. You all know I love dipping my tone in the curse pool and swirling it around. It's such a good way to torture our favorite duo.
You do love using that curse to torture them, don't you? You just can't give them a break, huh?
