Ah! I'm beginning to see now... I've just been
"initiated", haven't I?

LOL!

Well, that's fine with me. I think I'm officially hooked anyway. devil

I loved this story! You did a great job of creating a real person out of an incidental character from the show. I've always wondered about that - the possibility of random people here and there figuring out the secret but realizing the necessity of keeping it that way.

Everything Margaret did and felt was so believable and so easy to relate to.

Like others have said, you'll definitely have to write more!

Welcome to the boards, Scarlett! As you can see, it's an amazing place to hang out and it just got even more amazing because now we have you. smile1

This was a great story, very original (which 15 years on is hard to do!). Margaret came to life for me and it was enjoyable seeing Clark through new eyes.

Loved how you ended it with a snappy line! clap

I hope we'll see many, many more stories from you. smile


Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret.

Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right.

FRESH MEAT!!!!

Ahem... Now that I have that out of my system...


The title made me think this was an entirely different story than I thought it would be. Clark's responses were also different than I thought it would be. For one thing, I thought it was cute that he would offer her tea when she said she met him in a coffee shop. laugh

I liked this one a lot.

Welcome to the boards, Scarlett.

This was a fun read and the writer's workshop at the end was a hilarious surprise smile

This is a true gem. Original, clever, fun to read. I was quite bummed to get to "the end" and realize it was over!

I'd love to see a few short follow up stories that show Clark touching base with his new friend over the next few years.

I, too, thought that the title was going to be something else, which actually made me not want to read it.

Lois had three rules and she broke all three of them. I wasn't particularly interested in another rehash of those rules.

However, I didn't notice that it was a new author to the boards. If I had I might have given it a try on that alone.

It was Elisabeth that convinced me to read it. She is my wife and she has almost never lead me wrong on a story.

This was a wonderful story that gave us a different POV on Clark and was a wonderfully original aspect of character development. I can't believe that no one has ever done anything with the woman that saw Clark stop the bus!

The quality of the writing was wonderful and very on par with the submissions to this board. Please send this on to LabRat for archiving in our archive here .

And thank you for listening to Dandello and posting here. I hope you have found a new home with us.

Again, thank you so much for the feedback and warm welcome!

I'm very happy that perhaps, despite the title, you all enjoyed this and found it surprising. That really does mean a lot!

Although I am working on a totally unrelated L&C story right now, the thought of a sequel is appealing to me more and more so... who knows? laugh

I read your story Scarlett and she is very good writing with an original plot ! It is really interesting to meet this woman, Mrs Margaret Hart that Clark saved at his arrival to Metropolis!

That would ask for an epilogue, no?

I'm obviously way late to the party, but was catching up on Kerth nominees and figured feedback was better late than never. smile I enjoyed the way you took a minor character from the show and created a whole story from her point of view. It was creative and your writing had a nice, comfortable pace. It completely drew me in. Your Kerth nominations are well deserved. Congratulations! thumbsup
