Okay, I'm glad that everything ended up happily in this universe. Clark is ready to be Superman and Lois and Clark are together.
I guess the arguement for why Superman's memories were messed up was because he spent to much time with this Lois. So when he avoided her, his memories were corrected. I guess that makes sense.
But that still doesn't answer my question of how Superman's marriage is going to survive after what he did. Even though he regrets it, he's going to feel terribly guilty. I'd like to see how that plays out.
Because of that, I have a question for you. If you are planning a squeal which deals with what I just discribed, great. I'll be your number one fan. But based on what you have said before hand and what you are currently working on, I don't get that impression. So I was wondering if you would mind if I wrote it myself.
I'm almost done with "A Box of Swiss Chocolates" right now. I had planned on taking some time off in December, but I don't think this would be a very long story.
So what do you think? Of course I'd have to try to do your characters/universe justice, while expanding on it, because it would focus on Superman's universe. It' a little nerve-racking, but I'd like to try. (This is of course, assuming that your not planning a squeal already.)

Awww! It's so good to get everything out in the open. I see one chapter left on your plan - hopefully you'll tie up all loose ends.
And I hope it's OK if you let SaraKM do a sequel! You've set up a great alternate universe situation and I'd sure like to have sequels.

Yay back at home with a real keyboard...
I liked how Lois caught Clark out... and how this universe's events were resolved... I think Superman has some groveling to do back home... but at the same time look at 'Lois and Clarks' and the 'almost kiss'... I think Martha and Jonathan nailed it on the head... 9 months without the woman his life has been intertwined with for 13-14 years... 10 years of marriage + the canon series... with a double pursuing him the entire time...

Great part. I like how it is all turning out with Lois and Clark with the unusal twists and turns. Sometimes I do wonder if this Superman is really who he seems to be or is something else going on. looking forward to the next part.

Can't you believe that?” Forgot to say that I *love* this little reversal of a well known line ~.^

Cute but I can't see how you can fix Visiting's life without a memory wipe in only one part.

Thanks, guys!
Sara - I'm glad you liked my rewrite of that line. It's been written for awhile and I had a huge line in my notes reminding me not to let Lois use the line with Superman (as then she'd just seem sort of sleezy).
Sara - I'm happy to let anyone do a sequel to this story that is interested. I can see the interest (my husband, who is not that into LnC but has been beta-reading this for me, keeps trying to give me ideas as he'd like to me to do one as well), but I'm honestly not that interested. It took me so long to write this story that I feel like I need a break. It's one of the reasons I think I fell right into Breaking Up - while it has some relation to this story, the characters are very different.
In his effort to get me to write a sequal, my husband keeps peppering me with ideas, one of which is sort of interesting and I might do in the future, but it's in the way future. Right now, I'm still struggling through Breaking Up and on line after that is Patrick's idea of Superboy working. While I don't think the sequel idea I'm thinking of would be very long, it would definitely be a few parts and I tend not to want to work on anything but one-shots when I'm in the middle of a series.
And to be honest, I seem to have less and less time to write these days, so I have no idea when I would get to this sequel, if ever. So, I certainly wouldn't preclude you from writing one just as I might some day.
One request, though. I'm posting the last chapter of this tomorrow and I think it at least touches on some of the issues you mention. So, not like I think you are about to sit down and write something tonight, but just in case, could you hold off?
IolantheAlias - Thanks! I'm honored that you and Sara are interested in reading more about this universe even though I'm sort of over writing about it.
robinson - Not too many more twists and turns in the next part. It's mostly tying up all the loose ends I saw (and my betas yelled at me about).
Patrick - I hope you don't still feel that way tomorrow. I'll be sort of disappointed if I failed to bring this story to a sucessful close.
Although, one thing that may help make this a little more sense - while there is only one part left, it's quite long. It wasn't quite long enough to be two parts, but close.

I had no idea how you would turn it around, Nancy, but then you did. And it all started with Superman waking up. Loved how Lois found out and then made sure nobody could overhear her yelling Michael

Thanks, Michael!
Lois figuring it out was one of my favorite scenes to write.
