Actually I have lost pretty much all sense of time. Two weeks seems like an eternity in my day by day existence right now. I read someone else say you were on a hiatus, so I thought that meant you had said it somewhere. Sorry!
That's okay, Laura! I didn't say it anywhere, so I was just wondering where the idea came from. But I have no problem with people saying it... It was just confusing is all.
I hope everything's okay with you...?
it seems to me that you are using ideas that seem Hinduistic or Buddhist in nature to me.
It's interesting to me that you say this, Ann. Because I'm a Christian and honestly don't know much about Hinduism or Buddhism. I suppose some people may not look at my interpretation of Lois' near death experience as very 'Christian', but I guess I don't know what really happens at this point with people (never having been near death myself) so I was fictionalising it (since it is fiction).
But when Clark calls out her name to her, just moments before she would be lost forever, Lois can "see" and remember and recognize her "Loisness" again. And she can reclaim herself, and her love for the man who called her back from death. That is very, very beautiful, Anna.
Why thank you, Ann!
I see it as part of their 'mystical', soulmate-y connection.
I also loved how Clark cried when Lois came back to him. It was particularly lovely that he cried while dressed up as Superman. And I also loved - I wish I could quote this better, but you know how it is - that Lois told him to "lose the Suit" if he was going to stay the night and watch over her, while she slept.
Hmm... Lots of people seemed to like the "lose the suit" bit. Is that because of its physical nature, or its symbolic one?
Beautiful, Anna! I'm looking forward to the next part!
Okay...Part 7 is started, but may be a couple of weeks in coming (like this one) as I need to work out the mechanics of a couple of parts. Just to let you know. No hiatus though!
Thank you all for the wonderful feedback! It spurs me on for Part 7...
