Thanks for these chapters Carol. Your new posting schedule makes it difficult to provide feedback for every post, but I'll try my best to give feedback as often as I can.
One thing that irked me in these past four chapters is Lois constantly referring to Chris as her son. She seems to be happy that Clark has stepped up and is being a better father, yet she always refers to Chris as hers. If she wants Chris to have a father in the long-term, I think she needs to come to terms with the fact that Chris is their son.
Jimmy turning out to be Lois' half-brother was a cool plot twist that I never saw coming. Just curious though, in your universe, are Lois, Clark, and Jimmy all the same age? Will Jimmy no longer be the office grunt in the future then?
I feel guilty. I'm the one who asked for the previews, and you graciously accepted. But, oh, do they add to withdrawal. Now, I'm constantly wondering if you're evil and picking certain lines to get us all excited, and then when we do read the chapter, it'll have a totally different context. Don't take them away though
Can't wait for the next parts.
