Nice part, sounds like this will be fun.

BTW you forgot the Arrow symbol so it may be missed by some.

I enjoyed both parts, particularly the second.

It's a different set up and I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this.

Arrowed now. Thanks!

Hah! I like it! Martha's telling off both Lois and Clark! And Martha's smiling when she's thinking of the prospect of teaching Lois some manners! And Lois... okay, fine, I usually want her to be quite likable, but this is fun, too. And Clark is fun! And angry! And Martha is forcing Clark to be Lois's instructor and slave driver at the farm. Ooooh, this is going to be fun!

Ann

I loved this! This is a fabulous setup, combined with your writing style, that is going to make for a great story!

Are you going to elaborate on how the Kents knew the Lanes?

I can't wait for more!

Let's see, where to begin?

Loved Clark's characterization of Lois.

Then, when Clark uses objectionable language, Martha corrects him.

I very nearly hurt my face laughing.

And how cool is Martha?

But everything's not peaches and cream at the Kent household. Jonathan's not there and Martha is doing this favor for extra money.

That's a lot of money. I wonder if she knows about Lois' dual identity (nice touch introducing the secret identity concept this way). I also wonder where Ellen is. Did she and Sam divorce or did she die (as Jonathan apparently has)? If so, is there an opportunity for senior romance here? That would certainly be original. It might also be a wonderful chance for the youngsters to show how much they've grown during the weeks of Lois' incarceration and torture.

And Clark and Lois are going to get along like two bobcats in a burlap bag. The fur is going to fly, especially when Lois tries to milk old Bessie. (You are going to show us that, aren't you? Pretty please? With chocolate sprinkles?)

Sonia, can I just say again that I thoroughly love the way you write? Your wit and humor really shine through in your characterizations, yet they're always tempered by an honesty and humanity. The real-ness of them is just a pleasure to read.
We learn so much about where Lois is coming from and where Clark is from this passage. Oh, man. Sparks in dry underbrush doesn't even start to describe it.

Had me ROTFL! This is such a good Marth comment and is in total character.

LOL! I know that some people on the boards don't care for cussing, but when used well, it certainly adds a certain dimension to your characters. Just with the few glimpses we've gotten of her, I already love and feel sorry for this Lois.

For Martha and Clark, too. It's apparent that they've lost Jonathan and that Clark is giving up his future to take care of his mother ... and hide. Martha sure doesn't pull her punches, does she?

I agree with Terry on this one: I can't wait!

Fun!

More soon!

Sorry - that's all the coherence I got at the moment... :p

Carol

Sonja, you have a really great story there

Poor Clark and Martha, having lost Jonathan. And I’m really starting to think that this is going to be a double-therapy-session. Only, Clark doesn’t know he’s stuck on a farm and getting his wetware fixed :p

Michael

Everyone else already said what I wanted to say.

I'll just repeat:

Great!

More soon!

When I read Part 1 I wasn't sure about going farther. I mean, I really couldn't stand Lois. (I guess I should say Lola.)

However, with this part you turned me completely around. The setting is engaging and I'm enjoying the fact that not only don't they get along, they are barely civil to each other.

In general I have to echo the echo of Iolan. My reactions were very much along the lines of the FDK posted above.

I am very much looking forward to the next part.

Otay, I understand the Pride and Prejudice part, am not sure where the Miley Cyrus referances come from (I thought she was a neat kid who worked with her dad), and have no clue who Jimmy Choos is. I hope I'm smart enough to read this story.


Elisabeth

Miley Cyrus played a character named Miley Stewart who in turn played singer Hannah Montana

Jimmy Choo makes very costly ultra high heeled women's shoes and boots.

Whoo! Okay, so three papers, two presentations, one class down, and forever later... I'm back! (To answer the question: I'm a PhD student in social sciences not behavioral, so unfortunately I won't be able to charge people for my analyses).

I think some of the questions about backstory (i.e. Ellen, Jonathan, how they all know/knew eachother, etc) will unspool as we go along

I can understand the oppositions to cussing- personally I don't do it myself, but in the case of the story, I think it aids our idea of Lois's--shall we say--rough edges. And as such, maybe we'll see if she gets any smoother.

I'm glad you guys decided to stay beyond the first chapter! Onward we go...
