Chris - RL forced me to be essentially AWOL from the boards for the last month and I've only been able to pop back in this last week. Over the past couple of days, I've taken advantage of your TOC and gotten caught up with the past 1/3 of your story.
I *hate* that I got so far behind, although it was advantageous that I could zoom right past a couple of those nasty little cliffhangers you threw in there. I was appalled, although not terribly surprised, when Lex showed up at Lois' apartment, but my heart certainly leapt right into my throat when CJ was pulled out the window. Thank goodness I didn't have to wait days for the outcome of that!
But having read the first 2/3 of this story in parts, with several days in between sections to ruminate, I find that it worked better for me on this particular story. I liked having the time to think about the A-plot, to worry about all the dead ends that Lois and CJ were running into, to contemplate different scenarios. Reading the remainder all at once, although still most enjoyable, was a surprisingly different experience.
I'm very happy at the way everything worked out. Very imaginative way to keep some of CJ's powers - and I'm very glad that flying is one of them. Lex, of course, got what he deserved and in a nice whammy fashion. And, of course, wonderful waffy scenes between CJ and Lois.
I've really enjoyed reading this, and I'm thrilled that you're thinking about continuing this universe. If you do decide to write it one day, I'm ready to read it, and certainly anything else that you write.
Thanks again for this wonderful story.
