Author’s Notes: A month+ between updates. Oi vey. After Chapter 9, I was working on a Divine Intervention challenge,
Echoes – wherein instead of going to the future, Lois is sent to the past post-
Doomsday and she meets a younger Clark. While a totally fulfilling experience for me, I sort of had fanfic burnout after that. And here we are now. This chapter, however, is nearly double my usual word count goal, so yay for longer chapter? Also, I still haven’t responded to reviews from Chapter 8 or 9. Please don’t be surprised if you get responses over the course of this week. I know it’s extremely late, but I hate leaving things unfinished (ironic, considering my track record with WIPs). I know I’ve said I wanted to finish this fanfic before the S9 premiere – obviously, that’s
not going to happen. Sad. I hope you all still continue to enjoy the ride though. Remember to check out my LiveJournal sidebar and/or Twitter for status updates.
Okay! What to say about this chapter. This installment was always part of the plan because I adore the Daily Planet and Clark needed to spend a little time there. He’s seen a bit from the side of his superhero persona. Now it’s time to see the other side. I won’t be surprised if some of you get bored, though, but I cannot stress enough the importance of various things being laid out. It’s all going to get kicked into high gear in the next chapter, and what you’ve all been waiting for is fast approaching. Also, hope you enjoy the appearance of some DP characters. Jimmy gets a brief cameo – it would have been longer, but I nearly forgot to write him in. Blasphemy! My Perry White… is an amalgamation of all the versions I came across, though he is supposed to physically look like Michael McKean.
In other news,
Free Fall won four awards at the
Smallville Fanfic Awards at LiveJournal! It won Best Clark-centric, Best Use of the Justice League, Best “Future”, and Best WIP. I hope I can live up to these honors. Thank you to everyone who voted for me. Please leave a review if you are so inclined. It really helps. Thanks! :D
I cannot stress this enough –
THANK YOU to my awesome reviewers and readers! I hope some of you are still sticking with me, even though I have update droughts. So, without further adieu, please read, review, and enjoy!
