FDK: Splitting Hairs (1/1) - Lois & Clark Fanfic Message Boards

Please enjoy this random shower thought.

Ha ha ha! You are welcome to share random shower thoughts any time you want, DC! I love this! You perfectly captured Clark's joy and relief, I found myself grinning along with him as he flew, expressing his exuberance. That last bit though, I love it. His hair was kinda long to be professional there at the beginning. It reminds me of the snarks I've read about Clark's long hair after the death and return arc during the 90's, which made me laugh even more.

Thanks for sharing this tidbit, I always love your writing.

Haha, hahaha, hahHahahahahahaha!

Oh my God. I'm dying. I one hundred percent believed Clark's pov this whole time, never doubted once. In fact I thought it was very sweet, adorable, and apparently a little naive of Clark to be so excited. I thought it would mostly be introspective, adding some color here and there to the interview...

*bangs fist on the table, laughing so hard*

Well done, DC. You for sure got me. I think I was as flabbergasted as Clark in this. Brava!

Mulletman! Mulletman to the rescue! Mulletman saves the Space Station! Mulletman exposed from his bad haircut! haha

**bangs fist on desk laughing uncontrollably**

Bad haircut ruins everything!

So, our dear Lois isn't galactially stupid after all.

HA! You got me!

Nice twist at the end, there, although it makes me wonder who else would have noticed. Maybe Cat? She's pretty fashion savvy...

LOL! I never would have thought of the mullet giving Clark/Superman away. That was great!

LOL!!!!

Haha, thank you! It's actually pretty funny how many fic ideas start off as random shower/kitchen/driving thoughts. My muse loves to wander when I'm doing other things.

Glad you liked the story and that Clark's joy rubbed off on you. And I'm glad I could take you off guard, the way Lois took Clark off guard. His hair is so obvious - maybe that's why he cut it a few episodes into Season 1?

Thank you for reading!

Hahaha, yay! Glad I took you off guard with the punchline. When I tought (randomly) about his hair, it struck me as odd that it wasn't a dead give away for anyone. Glad I could give you a laugh!

Hey, we've always poked fun at the mullet. It was high time it became an important plot device!

Thanks for reading!

Not when she's being observant.

Ooooh! You make an excellent point...That could be bad for poor Clark. Maybe Lois talks him into cutting his hair?

Thanks! I thought it would be something different - at least, I don't recall having read the revelation happening due to his unfortunate choice in hairstyles.

Oopsie! Maybe he should have thought about hiding his hair when choosing a disguise.

Hehehe, yep! But, on the other hand, maybe it's what pushes him over the edge to finally get the short cut!

LOL! Hilarious and original.

DC you have done it again:

Clark was so happy in the beginning and then that long hair ruined the secret! Yay, Lois!

Seeing right through the disguise will save a lot of grief.

By the way, I always liked Clark with slightly longer hair. Ah, my Warrior King ...

Haha, you know me. I'm always looking for new and interesting ways to pull the rug out from underneath Clark. Or, at least it feels that way sometimes. :p

Thanks for reading!

(I do prefer Season 2 and 3's hair, for the record. Season 1 was a bit long early on and Season 4 went SO short!)

Oh my GOD! I really didn’t see it coming! LOL.
Clark’s POV is marvelously evocative: one is really drawn into his enthusiasm... only to fall flat on one’s mullet!
Lois: 1 – Clark: 0

Hi Vicki!

Clark rejoices over the fact that he wasn’t recognized at his first rescue as Superman, and prepares to give Lois the very first Superman interview.

I just realized, did we ever have a story where Lois was actually less than impressed by Superman’s debut. Mainly thinking of him as yet another guy being a guy and trying to show he is just so ‘super’?

Quote

He’d be hounded by every reporter in the world and expected to give them all quotes for their articles.

What if he started to quote fortune cookies, and only fortune cookies?

Reflexively, she sucked in a sharp, surprised breath when she caught sight of him. Unfortunately, a Lo Mein noddle

did it flap around, splashing against her nose?
LOIS:

Quote

worked its way down her throat in the same moment, and she wound up coughing for a few seconds while she tried to compose herself.

LOIS: Better. I guess…

Quote

“I heard you’ve been looking for me,” he replied with a gleam in his eye. Just that morning, Perry had – once again! – lectured his reporters about the importance of being the paper to snag Superman’s first interview.

Oooh, what if Linda King had arrived earlier and Clark had given her the first rescue and interview?

Quote

But there are hundreds of other amazing reporters all over the world who could also do your story justice.”

You let Clois out to play early, didn’t you?

Quote

“Everything,” she said breathlessly. “But, um, perhaps you’d be more comfortable talking in the conference room? Where it’s a bit more private?”

Private? They kind alone, so…she doesn’t know, does she?

Quote

“Okay,” she said after a long minute. “I guess the first question is…how long have you been Superman for, Clark?”

Quote

“How did I know?” Lois asked, as if to clarify what he’d been trying to say. “It took me about thirty seconds to figure you out in the rocket.” She grinned, as wide and bright as the Cheshire Cat. “Clark, it’s 1993. You’re the only person in all of Metropolis sporting a mullet.”

That was quite unexpected!

Eeep! Don't poke the muse! She's busy with an antiverse!

But seriously, I haven't personally seen that angle.

Or movie quotes!
