Once upon a time (2004), I wrote a story called
Wherever You Will Go (
nfic version archived here). I’ll try and pretend I don’t cringe a bit at old me’s writing and give myself some grace; it was almost two decades ago, after all. In 2006, I wrote a kind of a sequel (except it was set entirely in the altUniverse) called
Away From the Sun (
nfic version archived here). In the author’s note for that one, I *PROMISED* that I would write the WYWG sequel someday.
Well, someday is here! Back to fandom last year after yet another hiatus, and the sequel is ALMOST FINISHED. Only 18 years later…but you know what? I think it’s amazing and the writing and emotions are so much better off with all that life I’ve lived in the meantime.
For those who aren’t familiar with the WYWG, here’s the archive summary: When Clark leaves for New Krypton, he leaves Lois with a little something to remember him by. But when H.G. Wells interferes, things may become too difficult to handle, especially when it looks like Clark may not make it home.
As with the other stories in what I’m now (tentatively?) calling the Wherever You Will Go Series, there will be a gfic and an nfic version. I’m looking forward to posting…hopefully in the next few weeks if all goes well with getting the last chapter written. It should be 20 parts plus and epilogue.
Please feel free to nag me!
Thank you, CarrieRene for the amazing story banner!! (And my new avatar for the series!)
