Well, what can I say? Y'all have been so great and supportive - you've really made my first adventure into the world of L&C Fanfic a lot of fun and really rewarding. All of your positive feedback has been so nice. I really appreciate it.
This whole story was inspired after I'd watched TOGOM in reruns, of course (when are they making those DVD sets, anyway?) and I started to think how absolutely awful it would be to lose someone you loved so deeply, and then how amazing it would feel to discover that they weren't dead after all. I imagined that the feeling of joy would be so great that it would overcome probably any other possible feeling you might have.
Also, I always felt like Clark kind of got a bum rap - whenever Lois finds out about his secret, she always gets so mad at him. But what was the poor guy supposed to do?
I'm finding that I write better when I get inspired by a specific episode, and I have an idea or two floating in my head about some stories I would love to see - one more along the nfic lines! But I think I'm going to spend some time reading some of the fabulous stories already archived first. I wrote this story before reading any other L&C Fanfics, and now that I've started reading some other authors' stuff, I wonder if there is anything out there that hasn't been covered before in absolutely wonderful ways! I'd hate to write something and have y'all say been-there-read-that!
Anyway, I'll be reading and writing and posting. It's so great to find a community like this - great people who share a fun passion! I look forward to getting to know you all.
Thanks again!
