I don't know, I know a lot of villainous fathers probably don't care about their daughters, but I hated the way he treated Lucy before the reboot and am glad he might be willing to put his distrust of Superman aside to ask him to save Lois (assuming there's not some double-cross getting set up!)
I was surprised when I found how horrible Sam Lane treated Lucy in the comics.
I hope there is no double-cross in the new comics - assuming from Sam/Superman talk in Superman#2. Though... we never know...

The idea that Krypto has been watching over his master's son all these years actually makes me tear up.
Yes. It was so touching. I loved the idea.

Ah, I had never seen it before (in part because until recently the Phantom Zone wasn't in canon anymore). That's a good thing to take from Smallville!
I’m pleased there are things in the new comic books that remind me my favorite show. :)

I've started to have more free time now
I’m glad to hear it. :)

I don't have any stories in reserve yet, so I can't post stories as often!
I understand. Well, I still have a few Yuletide stories to catch up on. It just, I missed not seeing you on LJ. (I always fear something could change and you would stop to post there. I know, silly me. *sigh* But I was happy seeing new scans and even reading in your answer on starsandsea’s comment you plan to post more of them. Can’t wait. :))

I'll have to ask damos to take a look at it and tell me what he thinks...
Good decision! I think damos will have some great ideas, as always. :)

Hmmm, that's a good point and does make me feel a little better about it! Five years is forever in comic books, but I don't think Perez would have written that if such a thing was going to be active in people's minds from Action.

Not silly at all! I always feel a little sad when people post less, so I know what you mean. But really, right now the problem is just that I had so little time to write that I have no stories in reserve, and everything I'm writing is kind of long right now, so January is going to be a sparse month. But I'm actually about half-way through a new chapter for the series that puts Bruce into Action Comics, and I've gotten a good start on a long story where Bruce and Clark become the avatars of Nightwing and Flamebird when they're young. I don't know how long that one will be yet, but it'll probably be more than 4,000 words, so I think I'm maybe a quarter done? I should be around more in February, with any luck! And I'll be putting up more scans soon, I think! :)
