Just for the fun of it. Kent2: Benjamin, our son. Lane2: Benjamin? But our son's name is Jason. Kent2: Oh boy. Don't tell me Herb did muck up the time lines again. Michael

If she had to move heaven and Earth, perhaps come back to haunt Perry and explain the story after they'd killed her, she would do it.

Originally posted by MLT: And then there is the question of spelling... Do I spell it Vicky or Vicki? Then I decided that given that in the series, we meet Tiffani - who made a point of saying that she spelled her name with an 'i' and thought... Nah. Lois and Clark are going to spell their daughter's name the old fashioned way. I had just assumed Vicky was short for Victoria.

Vicky is short for Victoria. In fact, when I first mention her, I refer to her as Victoria. But I still had to figure out how to spell her nickname. Now I'll wait for the archive version (so that I can read it at one go during some weekend). I've already sent it to the archives. But in addition to the archives, once I have the edited version, I'll be posting it on my site so that people who want to can read it with the italics in italics. Anyway, thanks again, everyone, for your support while I've been posting this story. ML

Oh, one more thing. When I post my story to my site, I'm thinking of including some pictures. Now, obviously, I need to use pictures from the show, so if anyone can think of any pictures that might fit in well with the story, please let me know. ML

Hi ML, Just wanted to join in and tell you how much I really enjoyed this story. I'm sorry I didn't post fdk for every part, but that was because I was playing catch up nearly every time. I do understand how real life can drain you of the energy to write. Like Nan, I have been fighting that for a few years. I'm happy that I'm writing again, but it is more slowly and the ideas no longer flow onto the page the way they once did. Hopefully, you will find inspiration somewhere. I know that I miss writing when I hit writer's block. I think there is something therapeutic about writing about your characters' problems instead of thinking of your own. Meanwhile, thank you for this wonderful trip through Lois and Clark's slightly different life. I'm so happy that you decided not to 'kill off' Lane and Kent. I liked them almost as much as our Lois and Clark. This is a story I'll probably be revisiting once it shows up on the archive. Yours Jenni

ML, I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and I'm so sad to see it end (as much as the suspense was killing me and I wanted to see how it ended...). I agree with the others- just because you don't have an idea now, doesn't mean you won't brew one up later, particularly if you continue to read fics and stay interested. I'm impressed that you've kept up such a pace for such a long time. I hope an idea comes soon, 'cause I sure do love MLT fic. Hutch

ML,
I've been horrible at FDK, but I wanted to let you know here at the last that I have enjoyed your story so much. Thank you!

You're better than me - I still have about 2/3-3/4 of LtL to finish editing before I send it off to Labby . As for pictures... I think at least one from PML is in order =D. Carol

I'm so happy with the ending of this story! There's nothing worse than making it through a long story/movie/whatever and the ending is terrible. But this was great, and I'm looking forward to reading it all in one piece on the archive. Thanks for a great story!

I think there is something therapeutic about writing about your characters' problems instead of thinking of your own. I agree, Jenni. That's how I think of my writing, too. And I have ideas, but... everytime I think of sitting down and actually writing at the moment, I just feel so exhausted. Oh well. Maybe soon... I'm so happy that you decided not to 'kill off' Lane and Kent. I liked them almost as much as our Lois and Clark. That's quite a complement, considering that I know how much you like our Lois and Clark . And I'm glad you liked Lane and Kent. When I started writing them, I didn't expect to fall in love with them. But somewhere along the way, I did. And then, of course, I couldn't kill them off. I wanted to continue thinking of them, out there somewhere together I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and I'm so sad to see it end (as much as the suspense was killing me and I wanted to see how it ended...). I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've been horrible at FDK, but I wanted to let you know here at the last that I have enjoyed your story so much. Thank you! You're welcome. And don't worry about the feedback, I'm just glad you enjoyed the story. As for pictures... I think at least one from PML is in order =D Problem I'm having is that I end up changing most things just enough that pictures often don't seem to work. After all, in my rewrite of PML, Lane doesn't do the dance of the seven veils for Kent. Kent trips backwards down the stairs and Lane rushes down, planting kisses all over his face. So... where's that picture? I want that picture Oh, and that reminds me. Anyone know where I might be able to get a picture of Lois hugging a three year old girl while sitting on a bed - preferably with Clark hugging both of them? Or... is anyone able to make such a picture? That would be a great picture to end the story with. I'm so happy with the ending of this story! There's nothing worse than making it through a long story/movie/whatever and the ending is terrible. I'm glad you liked the ending. I always try to make my endings an 'awww' moment - where you give a happy sigh as you read the final words. It's one of the parts of any story I work the hardest on - well, that and the first chapter (of course, the purpose there is to hook the reader so that they will end up reading the remaining 47 chapters

Well, I have to admit, I did't see that one coming. I was convinces all the way up until Lane showed up that Tempus was behind it. Oh well, that's a good thing. I don't like predictablity in my reading. Good stuff though, I loved it. Great job. But if you need ideas or your next story, maybe something about Bernie saving Lois' life and thier sons birth. Just an idea.

I was convinces all the way up until Lane showed up that Tempus was behind it. Well, in a way, I guess he was responsible. But this time, he caused problems by not showing up ML

I'm so sad that this story is finished. I'm glad everything went ok for Lois & Clark and Lane & Kent, but I've missed this wonderful fic terribly. If you still haven't got an idea for a new story, maybe you could write a sequel about Lane and Kent. What do you say? You fell in love with them and we did too, so, why not? After all, there were many things that we didn't get to see about them - the reaction of Jimmy and the others Planet's employees to Kent working at the Planet, Lane meeting Martha and Jonathan, Kent meeting Ellen, Land and Kent wedding, they finding the responsible for the breach in Star Labs and on and on... What do you think? Please? Pretty please? Andreia

It's certainly an idea, Andreia. One I've actually played with - in my mind. My problem right now is that blank piece of paper that would need to be filled with words. ML

I'm stressing about researching firms at midnight Wow. Now that's impressive. When I finished law school and started interviewing, it never even occurred to me to research the firms I interviewed with. Of course, when one interviewer asked me why I wanted to work for his firm, my response was that I needed a job . I don't think they offered me a job. Still, I wish I could calm your nerves with a new story. But... let me just say this. Even without researching firms, I did get a job . So don't stress out too much, okay. Just be prepared to tell them what position you play in baseball - since most of them need players for their firm team . ML

Just to let anyone who is interested know, I've just posted the story in full on my website. So you can read it with the italics included if you want. There are no pictures in it, as of yet, but I'm hoping those will be coming soon. Anyway, you can find it at http://www.thompsonlawoffice.ca/There\'s_No_Place_Like_Home.htm ML
