I enjoyed this. It reminded me of Pride and Prejudice.

Thanks. I figured that I should think of the master when it came to this genre.

Very cute. It has a nice Regency feel. And the ending is priceless!

Thanks. I read a bit about the Regency genre and few of the defining characteristics. I think that certain things are eternal and Lana thinking it's all about her is one of them. Done right, it's funny.

HAHA! Lana's particular brand of self absorption fits quite nicely in Regencey England.

Interesting to have Clark raised a Sullivan instead of a Kent.

Thanks. I rarely see Clark Sullivan or variations of that idea. Usually people like to keep Clark with a variation of the Kents, with the Luthors or with Jor-El/Lara or an OC family but almost never with the Sullivans.

Perhaps Lana should move to this era. Lana reminded me a bit of Elizabeth Bennett's flighty mother and one of her sisters.

*LOLs* Funny plot! And Lana is likeable when she's being a ditzy princess. And I've never thought Lucy/Lucas was such a good pairing. Criminal younger siblings OTP!

Thanks. I just think that a lighter, more comedic touch to that character with Chloe allowed to do some eye-rolling would've done Lana a world of good. Also, it's just a pity that Lucy and Lucas never got to talk about their older siblings and their monograms are the same so . . .

Amusing, and Chloe in pursuit of 'Batman'? *grin*

Thanks. I'm not really a supporter of Chloe/Bruce but figure that she'd definitely try to figure out who he was so they'd definitely interact on some level.
