There will aways be consequenses

What an incredivle offer.

Hey guys, I just wantd to say than you to all those who sent in reviews over the last month. You've all been great, and I'm glad that my vision for Clark and Diana has found such wide acceptance.

I'm currently swamped with real-life obligations, but rest assured that I'll update as soon as I get the time. In the meantime, do enjoy the new and improved Ch5 of Code Red CRITICAL MASS.

Have fun, and take care.

Sorry I took so long to review Cael, but hey, here I am.

Man, I'm in awe. This plot of yours is wildly inventive and fiendishly brilliant, with clever twists and turns that demand our attention and keep us guessing and on tenterhooks. It's Hitchcockian in its masterful grip over our hearts. Fantastic!

I really loved the way you showed Clark's dichotomy as the one of the most powerful men in the universe, yet so shy with women and awkward at romance in Ch3. The interactions between him and Diana, as well as with Galatea, and the interwoven thoughts of all the characters are masterfully written.

Speaking of Ch3, your expert use of perspective and the fluid narrative made me feel like I was actually there, as Clark, and as everyone else. Wickedly clever way to immerse us in your fascinating new world.

Ch5 was juicy and ample for me to dig into. The flashbacks are lucid and have just the right touch of humor, and you attained a perfect balance in your love scene- sizzled yet poignant and evocative, catching the mental, spiritual, emotional as well as the physical aspects of that scene. I applaud you for your supreme mastery over the art of storytelling.

Phenomenal work so far. Now get to it and update soon!

Oh, and congrats on you-know-what (wink).

Amazing work so far, love the use of perspective and the taut narrative. Your characterizations have been nailed to a T and I love how complex your situations are.

I can't wait to read more, hope you update soon.

Awesome work man. Update soon. Eagerly awaiting the faceoff and the SMWW escalation.

This is one of my favorite stories on this site, and for a multitude of reasons. Everything has been spot-on from the characterisations to the little twists and everything else. It's brilliant.

I'd love to read more of this and am patiently awaiting the rest of it. Hope you update soon.

Intriguing. I love the concept of a loosened-up Clark, but I'm yet to see that. If anything, he's even more guarded, but I guess I'd be too if I woke up a total amnesiac. Still, I reckon that the advertised mayhem follows in later chapters and I can't wait to see how that pans out. So far I'm loving your handling of this story, but it's been a while since you updated.

This is such a great story, where's the rest of it?? I love it so far, and am really looking forward to reading about WW cleaning house to save her man.

C'est perfect! It's magnificient and I love the expansive canvas you're working on. It's a marvellous, breathtakingly fascinating world you've created for us & I'd really love to see/read more of this. I hope a update is around the corner.

BTW, are you the same guy with that great art over at deviantART? I love those pieces, and have been wondering where you've been for so long. Please pick up your writing, as well as your art once again so we can revel in your creative mastery.

Regards,

First off, brilliant work on capturing the essence of both Diana as well as Kal (something that I agree that Timm completely failed in), especially in Ch3. That one's my favorite, especially for your narrative of Galatea's inner conflict and guilt. Well done.

The love scene in Ch5 was terrific, very operatic with a touch of poetry and conveyed both perspectives as well the emotional and physical aspects of the scene admirably well. I envy you your gift with words. I hope you plan on continuing this, coz abandoning it after such a blazing start would be criminal and unfair to all those who've been waiting for a honest potrayal of the characters like this.

In short, I love this story and I hope you keep writing.

Awesome work so far dude. You never disappoint, lol. Love the hawt mature scene you threw in for us- very edgy and visceral and real without crossing a line. Kudos for that.

Now pick up that virtual pen and finish this!! Great job, keep it up, please, PLEASE update soon.

Awesome story so far, really well balanced characterization of our main characters & some fascinating new characters you've introduced into the plot.

What really pleases me is how you've kept Clark as well as Diana very much in character (at least outside the dream/simulation or whatever it is) & yet delved into their core & showed how multifaceted and interesting they can be without being twisted OOC. For that, I salute you. Sure beats the nonsense that was SR and the Timmverse as well as that ridiculous tripe called Smallville.

The mature content's also really well written, worthy of a Hollywood screenplay for the electricity and tension conveyed. Great job so far, and I hope you update soon.

Love the new scene you threw in- I was wondering when the matu writer in you was going to resurface, lol. You sure didn't disappoint.

Keep up the great work and hope you update soon.

Cheers.

Awesome job so far, can't wait to read more. Love the idea of a Diana-Kal pairing. Perfect handling and pacing of the story and great fleshing out (no pun intended) of characters. What's not to like?

I hope you update soon.
