I've got an idea for... something... that would take place at the time of HiM. But - sadly enough  - there's quite a bit of the a-plot that I don't understand. And I would need to so I can write something that makes sense.  If I understand correctly, this time, Luthor isn't the bad guy at all - he's one of the "injured parties". Is that right? He just happened to be rich enough to have funded the Shock Wave project that Roarke wants to blow up so he can replace it with his own? Is that it? Or did I get that all wrong? (I admit that what I most remember from the ep is definitely NOT the a-plot... and it was confusing enough anyway that I never quite got the idea behind it.) Hopefully I'm right because that would mean I can write this story. It would have a title that begins with the letter F, if anyone still remembers what that means. <Lara whistles innocently>

Yes, I know what the letter F means. (When it's not a grade, lol). Do you think you can get through the alphabet this year?
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.

Thanks C_A!  I'm so doing the happy dance - my idea stands a chance. *yay* AND I can even fit it in with my "Lex-free Universe" - woooot!! Do you think you can get through the alphabet this year? Honestly, I would *love* to be able to. But if I'm being realistic, it's already getting *very* hard to find ideas that revolve around mistaken identities of the bat-kind, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it. I am trying, though. I definitely have not given up!

I, for one, wouldn't mind if the topic changed slightly.

Here's one. In the I-N section, perhaps, Lois could be told that Clark is a different superhero. I know you covered that some in Blind as a Bat, but if you think that it would work? This would be in a U where A Sister Should Know, etc. didn't happen.
Another possibility is doing something with Bruce Wayne and a (girlfriend?) where someone thinks he is Superman.
in response to Laura, yes and no. The "F" thing is in reference to a series LaraMoon was/is doing with each successive story having the next letter. It started with a 20-minute challenge response called A Sister Should Know, then Blind as a Bat, etc. There have been five stories so far so the next one would start with...

Hehe - no worries Laura. It's a little obscure. I have a series of stories that I've started (I call it my "Clark Kent is Batman... NOT!" series because the first stories have to do with people thinking Clark is Batman... hehe!) and the titles go in alphabetical order from A to E for now. Working on F right now.

Another possibility is doing something with Bruce Wayne and a (girlfriend?) where someone thinks he is Superman. That's pretty much what he says in Dark Night - that women think he's Superman. LOL! But that just gave me another idea, though. <wicked grin>

The first 3 are at the archive:
A Sister Would Know
Blind... as a Bat!
Cut From the Same Cape
the other 2 are on the boards someplace. *lol*
Dark Night
Exclusive!
I guess I should make a TOC for the entire series, huh...

Well, I know what F means, but I'm a little confused with what you are asking about the episode. I thought Luthor was always the bad guy, but it just may be that I don't understand what you are referring to.

I just realized that means Lex would have something to thank Superman for. I can imagine that fact irked him.

I guess I just don't remember that part of the ep. I'll have to watch again. I tend to try to forget the Luthor parts.

After the hit on the head from Nightfall or an encounter with red kryptonite Clark could think he's Batman.
