  Snif. Did I lost all the readers while I didn't have access to my computer anymore or didn't you like Lois' reaction?

No need to cry. I really like this story. I can’t wait to see what Lois will come up with, and I can’t wait to see how Clark will handle this. Looking forward to the next part.

Count me in as another one who is definitely still reading!

Sorry for being late to catch up, Poussin! I liked this part a lot. Can't wait to see what's next!! A couple of things I noticed: -- Better to use 'because' instead of 'b/c'. -- It's 'these' news; not 'this' news. See ya, AnnaBtG.

I agree with Anna that "because" is better than "b/c".
The word "news", however, is treated as singular in English, so you are correct when you say "this news".
And, while we're on the subject of grammar, let me say that your beta is doing a good job. Your story is easier to read, and yet it still sounds like *you*, if you know what I mean. I'm glad because I really do enjoy the way you write.
I'm looking forward to reading more.

It's just another of those weird things about the English language, Anna. :rolleyes: Why it's singular in English even though it ends in an "s", who knows?

Thanks for letting me knwo that I still have readers. I'm glad you liked the part. Oops. I saw the abreviation, and I knew I had to change it, but apparently... I've forgotten. My mistake, sorry. I edit that. Thanks for pointing it to me. And your right Vicki, I have a really good beta reader. At first, she was a little worried because she never beta read for anyone, but she really do a wonderful job. I can't thank her enough. She's absolutely great!

I'm still on for the ride. I'm eagerly waiting for the next part. Hope your muse behaves for you
I've converted to lurk-ism... hopefully only temporary.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad to know that people want to read the rest of the story! That's the better compliment people can made to an autor.
And don't worry. My muses are working very well. I've almost finished all the story. I'm really sorry for the wait. I still don't have heard anything from my beta reader for the next chapter.

Well... I hope too. I've never been that long without hearing anything from my beta; I'm worried. I hope everything is okay. I tried to send her a email. We'll see if I have a response soon. If I still don't have a response by next week, I'll post the part without beta reading.
