Okay,
Michael, you asked for it:
For the nosey guys: Would you consider posting the parts of the WHAM warning that are already revealed up until here? Please? Pretty please? With continuous updates as the gooeyness gets revealed?
Here it my long winded WHAM warning, edited for spoilage...:
Clark is killed as a baby by Tempus back in 1966. By killing Clark, Tempus inadvertently wipes out his own existence. This event causes time to shatter and the formation of another dimension in which Clark doesn’t exist. (Canon Dimension is fine though; canon Clark and canon Lois return to their time and S2 continues as in canon – no harm, no foul.) The shattering of time means that this new Lois and new Wells can only travel forward in time, not backwards to right this horrible wrong. Baby Clark’s death also means that when Lois and H.G. Wells leave 1966, they will no longer remember Clark, Superman, or Tempus, because they will no longer meet them or each other in the future.
Lois refuses to accept this fate for Clark or herself. H.G. Wells informs her that the only way to “unshatter” time is to figure out how Tempus’s destiny is linked to Clark’s/Superman’s and find some other way to save the man from the future. If they can figure out a way to make Tempus survive, then they can “unshatter” time and go back into the past to save baby Clark. Lois and Wells give each other notes to explain what has happened and what their assignment is to save Tempus.
Upon returning to 1995, Lois is thrown into a world where she no longer remembers Clark and where Superman never existed. Season 2 continues… only without him and his influence in it. Since there has been no Clark or Superman in this new destiny, many people who survived in canon dimension will not do so intact, or at all, in this dimension. This includes people
, in Metropolis...
. It also means that Clark isn’t there to distract Lois from Dan Scardino, so he also will have a larger romantic part in her life than in canon. (All sorts of WHAM warnings here.)
Be reassured that not all is without hope –
My Betas reassure me that Book 1 can be considered a Dark Comedy (either that or I have a real sick sense of humor). The darkest and hardest parts to read (unless you have some gag-reflux to Dan Scardino) will be Parts 1, and
. Everything else is somewhere between the silliness of
Green-Eyed Monster and the drama of
Missing Lois. Be warned though, since there is no Superman or Clark Kent alive in this story, many people *will* die. Also, not everything in Lois' life will be sunshine and roses.
If my reassurances have not relayed your fears for a future lightness after the darkness of this story, please feel free to skip Book 1 entirely and start with Book 2, which will have
not so many deaths
. Book 1 is recommend prior to reading Book 2, but not required. Each Book in this trilogy is a separate story and can be read alone or as part of the whole series. You could even read Book 1 after reading Book 2. Feel free to email me at
lc.virginiaR@gmail.com , if you need to know in more detail who will die or get injured or how close Lois and Dan become in Book 1.
How that? Vague enough for you?
Nah, don’t cha worry, hon. Can’t be the same guy. Would be physically impossible, right? So… you’re golden, then?
Phew! Thanks for the reassurances, Michael. Does that mean I can throw away this note now?
What if she has a multiple personality disorder or some other mental health issue?
Anything's possible.
Okay, MPD usually does different handwritings, doesn’t it? They had that on B5… So, what else could account for that? And should they lock her away?
I thought they only did that a) if other knew about it, and b) if she were a danger to herself or others.
/waits for her to go completely cuckoo
<<whistles innocently>> Seriously, do you think Lois would ever admit to being nuts?
He just went to the top of her ‘to-kill’ list.
Why? Did he break into her secret chocolate stash? Or just correct her?
Lulu learned it in her time in highschool. She was always the nerd while Lois was the geek. And Lola was the party girl.
Correction: Lola was the drama queen, Wanda was the party girl.
Huh. What did he leave Lois behind? And I checked, you didn’t really go into that in Part 1.
Leave behind? For Herb? A description of what happened at Rocky Cove and who she was and what he needed to do to fix it. (The rental car and the other time machine too, but you know no author is perfect.
)
Huh. Years of birth and death?
Possibly. Maybe it was their years in office? Account numbers? Future Phone numbers. How many sexual partners they had? Rating system? Body / personal identification numbers?
His arrest was probably illegal. And he just apprehended Lois in self-defense after she burglarized his place of business.
Or because Henderson let Lois beat Church up before interferring.
Nono, Lois. That was not murder. That was self-defense, too. After all, Menken might have turned state’s evidence.
Potato, tomato.
Wow. Looks like she had some fights, huh? She got made some girl’s bitch? Or is she the kingpin of cellblock AA-38, now?
Queen bee, I believe is the correct female equivilant.
*G* And isn’t that goldplated poodoo?
Would that have actually stuck? Or would the reporter-aspect have been a viable alibi?
No, probably not, but the MPD would have had fun making the arrest though.
So, Toni was a working girl, too? Johnny really was going all out, wasn’t he?
Nope, Lex was smart enough to con her into giving it up for free.
*G* So, she *does* by now realize that Lex knew her already, doesn’t she?
You mean Toni knows now? Yeah, probably figured it out. Or figured that's how they hooked up initially was through her club. (Toni wasn't at the WOB)
That *wasn’t* their first meeting, was it? /only remembers she went to the White Orchid Ball, not if she met him/
Lois? Yes, she met him at the WOB.
Oh darn it! *Now* they tell me?
