Hey guys - I don't know if this has already been done - if so, I'd like to read the stories.
Anyway, this just came up while I was reading a fic and I thought I could share this idea.
Although I think, that it has never been mentioned explicitly in the series, the common explantation for Lois' crush on Superman is, that he's unattainable, a celebrity, a fantasy.
Now I thought - what would happen if Lois, too, was a celebrity and Clark still Clark - reporter from Kansas. How would they meet? As the famous people they are? Or would they try to detect the normal person underneath?
It's never too dark to be cool.

How would you make Lois the celebrity? I don't know how that would work TBH. I'm not saying it's an impossible idea, just would take a little more planning.
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.

Celebrity TV news reporter is the obvious one.

I've sometimes thought about writing a story where Lois was some sort of musician...

She's famous for being a singer, but then while she travels around the world (on tour) she's actually doing investigations for NIA, which is how she learns about someone with Clark's talents, but doesn't know it's him. That could be fun. Okay, sorry, I went totally off plot for this plot-bunny thread.

Virginia, Terry Leatherwood's Play Some Mountain Music meets some of your requirements. On topic, I also remember a story where Clark interviews Lois Luthor after a ?literacy? charity event. Sorry, I don't remember the author or anything else about the story, just that there was a strong connection between the two during their initial interview. B

As for Lois' celebrity status, I could see her in the "role" of her world's version of Oprah Winfrey.
