Ooh, another great plot twist! Although, as others have said, you did hint at Karen's sexual orientation in earlier parts. I love how you handled it - no cliches (thank god), and no stereotypes (thank god again!) Just plain, good writing w/ a lot of care for and understanding of the characters.
But of course in this, she'll forever be that season 1 Clark, because Clark gets to keep Lois!! And I have to smile at that (not that I don't want Karen to have some OTHER kind of happy ending of her own - I really care about her now!!)
Terry, this continues to be a fast-moving, well-told story and I really do love it
I'm sorry my posting fdk has been so erratic - RL is quite busy at the moment!
But I cannot WAIT for the conclusion to this~
