Ok, new story out in time for the holidays! Hope it gets you in the mood for the season.  I'm about halfway through writing it, and most of my stories end up being around 10 parts, so I'm guessing the same will be for this one. I plan on posting about once every other day. I have the plot outlined, but maybe some feedback will help keep me on task to finish writing it.  Almost forgot! This story is in partial response to Tank's challenge ... it has since taken on a life of it's own... and thanks Tank for encouraging me to continue with it!! 
Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way.

Stories like this are some of my favorite set-ups. Tempus moving Lois and/or Clark forward and/or backward in their relationship. Lots of possibilities for all sorts of havoc.
Looking forward to reading more!

Wow, great set-up. Lois kidnapped, Clark in shock, Tempus (a favorite villain) responsible.
Can't wait for more!

Nice smoochies!  Mail is so overrated. So where is Lois? Does he swap them?  I'll be sure to keep you on task so you can make your every other day posting schedule. 
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.

Oh, this looks like it will be fun! I, too, like stories where a married Lois or Clark goes back to make contact with their earlier selves, so if that was the challenge that prompted you to write this, I'm looking forward to seeing where you will take it. And Christmas fics, yay!  Kathy

Glad you guys are interested! I've never read a fic where Tempus sends Lois to her past... Can you point me in the direction of a few?
Thanks!

Great start. Time travel is always so much fun and Tempus is a fun villain to play with. (Just saw that episode a few days ago).

Great start! I'm curious to see where Tempus took Lois and now I'm off to read part 2.

Ooh, fun! I, too, love those bait and switch -- or actually, switch and bait -- stories.
As for other stories that switch a married Lois or Clark with their unmarried counterparts. Most recently, there's been Ricochet by Sue and Forshadowing by Happy Girl. A bit older are Kipp's Switch and Not Again, both in the nfic section. Also a mention worth is LauraCH's Another place in Time, also an nfic. I'm quite sure that I'm missing a few others that also use this theme. I recommend starting a fic-search in the Fanfic Related folder.
