Carol, go ahead and keep reading these parts as soon as they're posted. That way I get feedback sooner! And you know a Thea too? Wow, apparently you, gr8shadesofElvis, and I have a lot in common!
Desiree, you wrote:
I'm a teacher, and I have no idea how I could get such a well known figure into my class without some influence. They better watch out.
Yes, I think Kaylie and Jon were a little careless here. They don't have the practice of public appearances like Lois and Clark do. Thea gave them a wake up call, that's for sure.
gr8shadesofElvis, I've thought about this problem we've been having. And I decided that the only reasonable explanation is that we have a psychic connection and you are secretly feeding me names that you don't want to see in the story. But don't worry: The way part 9 is shaping up right now, there are no new character names you have to worry about. So don't be afraid to read it when I post!
Does she teach third grade? Or did Carol get that from "dinky third rate school"? (Be nice, I have been know not to pay attention on occasion.)
The class that was featured in this part is a grade 12 class (Kalie mentions in the previous chapter that she wants to encourage the students to pursue post-secondary education after graduation, and Supernova was supposed to come and encourage the students along those lines)
However, Kaylie also mentions teaching more than one class (geology for one and chemistry for another) and I always thought of her as teaching Science for multiple grades, especially in a small school like I picture Riverview to be. Does that help at all?
DJ:
And way cute, I love the remedial date, can't wait for it!
The next part is the date, and I'm having a lot of fun writing it, so hopefully you'll enjoy it wehen it's posted!
Sira:
It's interesting to see that Jon's relationship with Amanda had parallels to his parent's relationship and that hir relationship with Kaylie does as well. And yet they turned out very differently.
I'm finding it really interesting to write too. In the beginning stages of this story, I didn't have an Amanda, but I think she really helps to bring across the differences in Lois and Clark's and Kaylie and Jon's realtionship. Jon and Amanda's relationship played out really similar to Lois and Clark's. She started dating the 'regular guy' and learned the truth later, etc. But it ends up not working, which makes for an interesting story. As for what happens to her... In early stages I had planned for her to go ballistic and tell a gang of criminals who Jon was. But then I decided that I didn't want Amanda to be a nasty person, just unable to love Jon/Supernova as much as she should. So I won't say what DOES actually happen to her. You'll find out eventually.
mishmishat, thanks for your comments too! There's nothing like a good TV jingle to boost my spirits!
Michael, I just saw your post when I put this one up, so I came back to include your comments. I don't know if you and Sira remember this, but Kaylie actually mentioned her last name in part two after Jon pulls her from the rock quarry. He calls her Miss Stewart and she says something along the lines of that being too formal, so he switches to Kaylie. But she's definitely not from the TV show. I just made her up in my head. And, do you know, when I first made her up she didn't even *have* a secret? She was just an ordinary teacher. But then I decided that it would be interesting to make her kind of a foil to Jon. He tells her that he has a secret life, and she has one too, but doesn't tell him about it. Does that mean that Jon trusts Kaylie more than Kaylie trusts Jon? Or is Jon just trying to justify his lack of trust by telling her a smidgen of the truth?
