bellarase - Thanks for starting a FDK thread so quickly - wow! I'm delighted to hear that you're adoring the story. As to being a favored author…
Thank you for the note on sea vans. I didn't have direct access to one but it seemed like the ones I had seen had metal floors. I've fixed it in the story.
Joan - Thank you! I'm glad you're still along for the ride.
Lynn - You get a ride too! We'll have an impromptu FoLC fest at the Kent's farmhouse! Loved "Clark Kent, take me away." I may have some free time at work for the next couple of weeks - I think a Photoshopped "Calgon" ad could require my attention.
Yes, the next part is from Clark's POV. It might interest you to know (or it might not <g>), that I originally had each part told from both character's POVs and this was a seven-part story. But as the flashbacks and the story became more fleshed out, they also became extremely long. I didn't want people scrolling, scrolling, scrolling and wondering when the part was ever gonna frickin' end, so I split them.
Why do I get the feeling that, based on the story structure so far, the actual rescue won't take place until at least part 8, and more likely part 9 or part 10?
Define "rescue". <heh>
mozartmaid - You poor little shut-in, you can come too!
Like I said above, Lois' insecurities are what make her so interesting to me. Of course she knows that hanging out with Clark is not a bad thing, but you also have to think that somewhere, deep down, she instinctively knows there's
something going on with him that isn't quite what it seems. It's that unknown that feeds her insecurities and makes her sabotage herself.
Evelyn - You're right - Twitchell sure sounds like a suspect. But Lois knows him and would certainly recognize him if he was sitting next to her in a bar.
Yes, Clark was absolutely working up to confessing. He'd already tried that line in his head the night before. My only regret in telling this scene from Lois' POV is that we don't get to be inside Clark's head when she interrupts him just as he's finally found the courage to confess.
Lola - If there was anyone who feared the word "rewrite", it should be you. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm. You keep me going.
Laura - Awww! Thank you for the compliments!
I'm so glad to see you're in for the story.
I will add you to the list of flyees.
Pam - See, I figured Michael might not be crazy about flying with Clark, but I didn't think anyone would balk at Kansas. I'm sure it's just my dirty mind, but the way you put it
I have absolutely no desire to, well... go to Kansas made me briefly wonder if it was a euphemism for something else.
Now I'm intrigued with what kind of double meaning we could imbue "going to Kansas" with.
Clark says to tell you that while the future is out, the world is your oyster. Have cape, will travel or something like that. (Sometimes he mumbles.)
Thanks to everyone for dropping in to say "hi". I appreciate it more than you'll ever know.
