Posts: 356 Location: United States A Sense of Wonder Jan 9th, 2017 at 2:55am Print Post We're almost finished with our first draft, then Moo checks it out and our reg beta Nans checks it out. It's going slow because of health crud severe pain, but I hope people like it. It's firmly in the Rabbit's Paw fantasy category, and Paw was received well. Both my wife and I like to work out of the box. You see a new side of Straker in this. Come to think of it, you see a LOT more of Straker in this.... More than he wanted anyone to see. He's older in this. It's set in present day. Straker encounters a wonderful elderly woman. IP Logged

(no - he'd be competent and knows how to fake being ethical.) Not in Sup vs Batman. I was among the few fans that liked it but I felt Lex was done lousy. I haven't seen the extended version which is supposed to be better. I'm more or less getting used to Lois Lane. I do like Cavill as Superman. quite a bit just on superheroes (which my story featured) I'm going to lose it seeing Logan. (Wolverine) Just johnny cash's cover of hurt does me in. Logan's losing his healing ability and it looks like Professor X might buy the farm. saying goodbye to wolverine is going to be tough. Ed IP Logged

The SvB version of Lex is a WTF - unless he was a junior Lex and daddy got what he deserved but I don't think they were thinking that way. The Administrator. WWW Facebook IP Logged
