Well, hmmm, after my latest outbursts on these boards, who am I to advise anyone about anything?
But, Beverly, I've got to tell you a few things. I
loved your nfic story, Sanctuary. Even if I have no reason to think that this new one will be even remotely like Sanctuary, I'd still like to read another story written by you.
You say this story begins after Lois has died. Well, I wonder if anyone has missed what I think about stories where Lois is dead.... But you also said that
I'm also hoping if I don't decide to abandon this little waif things won't stay that way.
Am I right to think that you hope to bring Lois back somehow? Because if you are, then I say go for it. Of course, I also very much hope that if you manage to do that, you will also make Lois and Clark end up together.
But if you only manage to give Clark a new life for himself, possibly with a new love interest but without Lois, then I must honestly say I wouldn't want to read your story.
You say it's an alternate reality? I couldn't care less. It's the Lois and Clark stuff that interests me.
In the end, though, Beverly, it's your story. If it fascinates you, if you want to keep on writing it, by all means do so! You really should write it
and post it, if the story is important to you. And you have given us all fair warning. I can blow my top when I'm angry, but for what it's worth, I promise you this. If you decide to post it, you will never hear from me that you should have kept your story to yourself!
Good luck with your writing! Thank you once again for Sanctuary!
Ann
