Howdy. Just wanted to cover a few things that keep popping up in reviews and messages.
First off, a big thank you to everyone who has stuck with the stories in the Sheriff Kent AU. I only started it on a whim, not even figuring there would be enough interest for me to finish the story. But you all really got into it, so I got the desire to keep writing.
That also made me want to delve more into the other characters from Smallville that could possibly have a place in this universe, I.E. Bart, Titan, Van, Jimmy and Eric, etc.
I know this cuts down on the CLOIS aspects, but I have done several one-shots that focus on them, and I have several others that I will continue to do. That doesn't mean that Lois and Clark's relationship is the only storyline in this AU. Some stories will focus on them, and some will delve into other characters. I understand that some people are mostly into the Clois story, I myself am a major Clark/Lois shipper. But I also see that if I was just putting in some interactions between them to fill in space it could lose interest for me, and if I lose interest as the author I can only imagine what the readers might think. So, some stories will focus on Lois and Clark, and others will delve deeper into the other characters. I hope you all can respect that and stick with me. And besides, I can't give you what you want all at once can I? ;)
Also, on the topic of Clark and Lois'… carnal relations. I do enjoy the naughty naughty hey hey between them as much as anyone. Personally, I don't feel that I am particularly good at writing those situations between them. Also, with the guidelines of this website, you aren't supposed to get too graphic and I worry even more about how well it goes over having to twist it so it is not as flat out obscene as the scene really feels. I do have the link up on my author profile to another site with a more graphic story and no limitations on writing style. That should cater to a good bit of Clois smut. Also, reviews are welcome there as well. :D (Shameless plug)
And the last point I wanted to cover was Lois' attitude toward Clark and his reasons in this story. I in no way intended for Lois to come off as bitchy and looking down on Clark. I approached it from the aspect that Lois has been through a lot more in her life on Army bases and has seen a lot more of the good and bad sides of humanity. She wasn't trying to look down on Clark's reasons, she simply wanted to make sure he had his eyes open to the situation. And the morning before the courthouse, she was hoping to make sure he wasn't expecting a miracle just because he talked to the judge on Bart's behalf. Also, if you noticed, Clark has not told Lois that particular part of his past that is the main reason he was trying to help Bart. Some things are still difficult to approach even with your loved ones.
If this was not properly conveyed, my apologies. One thing I haven't enjoyed as a reader of fanfiction is when a writer suddenly disappears for long stretches of time and doesn't update. I mean no insult to anyone, we all have families and lives that pop up and take precedent. In wanting to keep you guys from having to wait long periods of time, I've tried to update regularly and quickly. That means taking any chances during the day in the midst of over 12 hours of work and classes to write on the story. So if I've missed a step here or there, I'm sorry. I'm just human, like Clark. Well, this Clark, not the real Smallville Clark.
I appreciate everyone who has followed my stories and supported this venture. There will be more stories, both in Sheriff Kent AU and normal Smallville.
Here's hoping everyone had a good weekend, and a good upcoming week. And if you're like me with finals on the horizon, Lord be with you.
