Thanks!

Ah, Mayson is getting inklings that things aren't quite right. And, after all, she *is* a successful investigative reporter for the Daily Planet.

This sounds ominous.

Eagerly awaiting more!

Wow! The plot keeps getting more involved, just when I think I have a good handle on it. Great job! Can't wait for more.

Is Mayson somehow going to put two and two together and come up with Lois was at the library and there are no flight records of her traveling to Metropolis and then .... ??? And then that picture of Lois needs to play a part in this deductive reasoning and investigation of Mayson somehow, right??

My favourite line was:

If I was an investigative reporter, one big story a day woudln't be enough for me either.

And Lex also sounds dangerous ... maybe he will be the one to later get rid of Mayson once he knows her secret ... unless they will eliminate each other?

Looking forward to more!

Boy, is this getting complicated! Now we have got every one involved. I love how you've ended up linking Luthor, Mayson, Clark and Lois in the same plot. I must admit I hadn't even considered it through most of the story, but now we have a footy story, linked to a murder case in Metropolis and a drug bust in UK. I'm very curious to see how much of the story Mayson manages to put together and if she'll somehow get to St. John's name as well. Though seeing as you've managed to have her fail in every one of her attempts to harm Clark so far, I'm hoping this will be no different.

So, just to sum it all up: I love how your A plot connects them all and I'm really enjoying it (and I'm usually more a B-Plot kinda reader ). And I couldn't agree more with Brownie! Though I hope that even if there's no merger, Lois will head off to Metropolis. You know, hottest team in town and all that . Plus, I'm sure she'd enjoy compiting (and winning ) with Mayson (showing her she's not only got Clark, but also investigative and reporting skills that equal or even surpass hers)

And I'm still loving Seb and Chris!!!

You can go ahead and post more

Interesting. Wonder what role Luthor's going to play.

Hmm, will Clark's attempt to disassociate himself from the story lead to trouble? After all, he's supposed to be the one to crack it wide open.

Suddenly, I'm worried about Mayson and secret identities...

This is going to end up badly. And not for the trollop but for the slut.

Michael

Great story!!!! Looking forward to more

I didn't like Mayson before this story - hate her even more now!!

LOVE your character Seb - he's amazing.

Can't wait to read more!

Iolanthe She is.

There's more in your inbox!!

Thanks.

Evelyn

Part 56 left my brain numb!

Thanks, Evelyn.

DW Your speculation is close in some aspects. As Iolanthe said, Mayson is a successful investigative reporter. Thanks!

Cristina Yep, complicated!

A good thing about long stories is that you have time to slowly weave in characters and events - and it's nice to pull it all together.

Part 56 is Mostly Mayson. Is that a good thing?

I'm a b-plot kinda writer!

Thanks, Christina.

Michael

LOL - You're right, Michael - I've said from the beginning that this will end happily for the good guys. Thanks for all of your comments.

Thanks, Seme. Glad you're enjoying it.

Bellarata I didn't like Mayson much either. And we're in good company as shown by your sig!

Thanks.

Hi Female Hawk,

I've been following this story for a while now and despite my best efforts I can't resist it's charms (let me explain). I live in Melbourne and yet, am not a footy fan. I tend to drift more towards the arts and find the football culture and off field behaviour of the players, at times, more than overbearing. And if I'm honest, I only count down the days to the grand final just so I don't have to hear about football players for a few brief months. So you can imagine that selling me a story about a world where Lois Lane is completely wrapped up in all of this was a tough ask.

HOWEVER, I've loved this story and the characters you've developed, I've also loved reading about the characters travelling through destinations that are so familiar to me, what a treat! You've done a fantastic job building the suspense and sorting out practical ways to make a long distance relationship work (even if they can cheat with a little help from superpowers!).

I just have one request: Melbourne is renowned for its amazing coffee and for its snobbery when accepting nothing less than a well made espresso/cappuccino/latte/macchiato/ristretto etc. I find it hard to believe that a Lois Lane who grew up in Melbourne would offer Clark instant coffee! Please buy the Herald Sun an espresso machine

Thanks so much for such a great story, I'm loving ever chapter and though I'm loath to admit it, have even enjoyed the bits about footy

Cheers.

Hi frequentflyer

Thanks for the FDK.

I'm glad you brought up coffee, because I've been meaning to explain that for ages.

I was in North America last year and being honest, I found the coffee strong and bitter. Yuk! (Sorry if that offends anyone!) Therefore, my assumption was that any North American would find our coffee weak and insipid. (Bob, who spent time in Melbourne, told me that that wasn't the case, but I'd already written it by then.)

It was also my impression that the coffee culture in Melbourne (which I love) is a relatively recent thing. (It's possible that I was slow to discover it!) However, my memory is that it wasn't so big in 1996 - and that many work places still drank instant coffee then.

Thanks for you input. I was really conscious when writing this that there was no way I could represent Melbourne as a whole (let alone the entire country!) My experiences/likes etc are going to be different to someone who lives a few suburbs away! However, I enjoyed bringing a little of my world into a Lois and Clark fic.

Thanks for reading - even the footy bits!

Corrina.
