Comments and rotten tomatoes (or roses) and what have you can be thrown here!

Great start! Keep going on this one.

Well, when all else fails, put H.G. Wells in there to change history. And this time Clark got to witness the intervention. Poor H.G. is going to be very busy if he keeps Lois alive until she can meet Clark. Sounds to me like she has an attitude, like usual.

Nice story. More?

Works for me - and why didn't HG do that in the original timeline?

Meadowrose: Thank you, there will be more to this story. What was posted I wrote several months back. The story will be richer in detail.

Angelsmaw: Yeah H.G. is always fixing LnC's history! I suspect if they had been allowed to have a proper final season, alt-Clark's problem would have been solved somehow.
Lois does have an attitude as per usual, but she's still young and very rough around the edges. That will change.

Darth Michael: So nice to have your comment! Yeah, H.G. should have done that originally. It would have saved poor alt-Clark a great deal of heartache.

Thank you one and all for the great feedback! It made my day.

Hi Mogana,

You are off to a terrific start.

One question - you didn't indicate how many posts there will be to this story. From this start it looks like it could be of epic proportions.

Lois!

Psst! You forgot the end ". Also, I'm assuming this guy is from Brooklyn?

Uh oh. Never, *never* do that to Lois.

See?

Pstt...another missing end ".

How to piss off Lois, fast.

Oh dear. Oh dear. Please, let her flight get snowed out.

Hi, Herb!



Wow! This really *is* an Alt Universe!



Clark???

Wouldn't the Planet be on the hook?

Clarkkkkk!

Clark Kent, meet Lois Lane.

Awww! What a great little story!

Good beginning. I thought it interesting that Arianna and Lex were still together. Of course, her selling his Picasso to help the needy would be grounds for divorce in Lex's books, wouldn't it?

My only question was regarding this line:
Why would Tempus bring canon Lois to this dimension now that the Lois of this dimension is still alive? According to Tempus in "Tempus Anyone?" he brought Lois to alt-dimension to give Clark a reason to become Superman, because without a danger prone Lois to consistantly save, Clark has no reason to become Superman.

I'm thinking that instead of just saving alt-Lois, Herb inadvertantly set the ball moving to change alt-dimension enough so that canon Lois was never brought there. If she indeed is brought to this dimension, while there is a living breathing Lois in it, what would make alt-Clark and alt-Lois not believe that she's some imposter and/or clone? Things might go differently for alt-dimension and canon Lois entirely. Possibly to the point of never being able to return to her home dimension. (See " Through the Window " and " And Back Again " by CC Aiken for that scenario).

Was she taken to another dimension with no Lois? Or somewhere else? Also, this means alt-Clark won't be around be brought to canon dimension to save it from Tempus during the John Doe arc.

You've set up an interesting set of events. Can't wait to see where you take them.

No tomatos for you! I really liked this. Funny to think that just something as simple as Alt-Lois missing her flight into the Congo would put everything back together again (that and the fact that Linda got the story first-- though part of me wondered whether that was just a little parlor trick a la Back to the Future on Wells' part). Good job!

Roses for you! You deserve it for saving Lois from disappearing in Congo and saving Alt-Clark from a life of misery. Kudos to you!

Major differences in this universe. Cat is <gasp!> "a bookish woman" and Luthor's marriage is not secret. How ironic that her boasting saved Lois's life. Tempus would love that! Or not, because now this universe will keep on having a Lois Lane.

Oboy! I come back from work and there are more comments! What a great way to encourage my creative juices to keep flowing.
Now regarding Airport:
This story has undergone massive changes since writing this particular draft several months ago. It won’t be ready for the boards for at least another three or four months. RL is really gone into overdrive since coming back from the Rockies. Something about work deadlines…
Anyhow let me answer a few of your comments.

KenJ: Epic proportions...maybe. The outline calls for one Prologue, five parts and an epilogue...

Deadly Chakram: Nope Lois begged Perry for the chance to tackle this story which will be seen in the new version. She offered to pay for her ticket if she didn't deliver the goods! Those pesky quote marks! Don't worry that and other grammar errors are being corrected.


VirginiaR: In this story I'm breaking a lot of the rules! Canon Lois will make an appearance. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Mouserocks: Thanks Mouse! Its the first of many rules broken.

By the way, who says a Lois and Clark story has only one villian?

Ultra Woman: Yup. More rules broken. And that's just the beginning...

Thank you one and all for reading!

Well, in canon Cat seems to be somewhat bookish, just hiding it well.

On another note, if you don't know how long it will be you can always put up posts as 1/?, otherwise we thing your post is the whole story. Actually some people even do 1/1, but that is not neccesary.

The big question in my mind is Luthor really good, or is Ariana in on his evil plots, or is she duped as well as everyone else? Option 2 would seem closest to canon, but hey, they have been married more than a year, so you broke with canon, so who knows. Actually in canon it is not clear they were married past the end of being on the ship where they got married, since Ariana says she has not been known as Mrs. Luthor for 10 years, and they got married 10 years before.

It may not be necessary to put 1/1 - but it makes life much easier for me when I'm having to add TOCs for those authors who don't do their own.

Hello John! Welcome to the boards!

Yes. Cat was very intelligent in the first half of season one and worked hard to hide her smarts. Why will always remain a mystery. The one and only time her apartment is ever seen, Clark commented on how well read she was.

When the fic is completed this part will be the prologue. As I mentioned previously to KenJ, the story has a prologue, five parts and an epilogue. Perhaps just this once I'll stick to my outline!

We shall just have to see how the story develops, as I mentioned earlier; there are no hard and fast rules in this story. It is the alt-universe.

Thanks again to everyone who read this small story!
