I hope you enjoy. I don't do introspectives well so please be gentle. ducks from flying tomatoes FDK appreciated as always. ~ Folc4evernaday Jodi Picoult - You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page.

For just a second I even felt pity for Dan until I realized Lois was with the right guy. Just goes to show that at times with the right writer behind the scenes you can make us feel bad for the other guy.

He might not have been the most likable of people, but in the end even he must have realized Lois was with the right man for her. It would have saved himself a lot of grief if he had followed the signs. Very neatly done! Last edited by Morgana; 02/15/18 05:25 PM. Reason: Additional material Morgana A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Interesting choice of Scardino and you pulled it off really well. An interesting look into a character that’s often written just to annoy.

Yes, Scardino would have saved himself a lot of grief and pain if he had paid attention to the signs. No matter how great a guy you are if you're not the one she loves you're the wrong guy. End of story. Originally Posted by NostalgiaKick Geez, and you call me ‘Introspective Queen’! Beautiful work Val. Interesting choice of Scardino and you pulled it off really well.

You'll always wear the crown for Introspectives though Yeah, I know I'm guilty of writing Dan just to annoy at times so I thought getting in his head would be a challenge. Seeing things from the other side is hard sometimes but necessary.

I got it when he said Lois reminded him of someone, but I love that you kept it subtle still. Very well done. I also like that from Dan's perspective he sees Clark as the wrong guy for her, because without knowing the whole story, he kinda looks that way.

I'm not sure if I've 'humanized' him but maybe gave him a little bit of perspective and depth? It was really hard to get in his shoes. He comes off as .... I don't like him. Anyway, glad you liked it. Originally Posted by jackiek You did a great job with it! I actually felt bad for Dan! Wow... If I can do that then that's saying something... lol ~ Folc4evernaday Jodi Picoult - You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page.

Call-Me-Daniel is quite unexpectedly mature there. Quote She chose him. She loved him. She wanted him. I was just too bullheaded to see it. You did quite an unexpected deep dive there! He certainly covers up a lot with those shirts of his. Michael Join us on the #loisclark Discord server! We talk about fanfic, our favorite show, life, and more!
