Spot holder for my FDK which is coming... TODAY... IN MINUTES DJ... haha yes aren't you shocked?


And see... I'm following through with that promise now.

First things first. DJ I have seen the movie 50 First Dates... and I'm going to beg you right now not to end it the same way.

However, the premise if fabulous. I can't wait to see what you will do with it. I giggled as soon as I figured out where you were going with this one.

It was at this point that I figured out where you were going with it. ^_^Poor Lois.

That's the question we all ask Lois... why? why? And if you were gonna get it short why not a cuter hairstyle? I could have delt with short if it had just been a bit cuter.

I don't know who I feel worse for. Lois who is probably going to have to go through this a bunch of times (or maybe not... maybe you won't go that route) or Clark who has to deal with a Lois who has just discovered his secret over and over again. LOL

Hahaha, this was the best part. I could just see her frantically going through her morning trying to remember if something was pierced.

I can't wait for more of this DJ!! This is either going to be really funny or just a bit angsty and I haven't decided which. I'll take a bit of both.

(P.S. Also, I finally left you one big FDK at the end of Superman United. ^_^)

Yay, DJ has a new story!


That was just great. I had to open up a new window to laugh in silence since mom is sitting in the opposite chair.

Ahh, this is SUCH a great start. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how Lois suddenly went from being frozen to cutting off all that cool hair <sigh>...and she doesn't remember! Can't wait to find out what happens next.

The title of course reminds me of 50 First Dates, which I haven't seen, but it's kind of fun being in the dark!

JD

The minute I made the connection between the story and the movie title I was

This could get interesting (especially for Clark)! I can't wait for more!

Oooh. I don't have time to say much, since I'm already late for work, but let's just say that you've already got me interested.

Your characterization is amazing. Lois is...so Lois! lol

I'll be looking forward to the next installment,

SmirkyRaven

Wow, this is nice and different... I like

More soon!

~Lois Lane Wanna Be

Yea, a new DJ story! Life is good.

It wasn't until I was a bit into the scene at the Planet that it occurred to me that Lois' "last night" and Clark's "last night" might, in fact, be two different nights. And then I "got" the title and realized that this was going to be very, very good. Although it would be anyway since it is yours.

It sounds like this might be the day after Contact ends. If so, I can tell why Clark was worried about seeing her.

Looking forward to more!

I haven't seen the movie but I'm interested to see where this is going. I'm assuming that the time frame is when Clark tells Lois that they cannot be together because it would be too dangerous.

Ooh...keep it coming. I'm intrigued.

Well! Hello everyone! What a wonderful evening greeting.

Jojo -- wow! You were the first one. Yes, I am shocked.

Jojo - only the first part and you're already making demands? Just makes me all giddy.

Glad I gave you such a good laugh, Jen - hope you were able to restrain yourself enough that your mom didn't think you were crazy.

You don't need to have seen 50 First Dates in order to appreciate my story - but... well, I don't want to say anything more, might reveal too much.


Hi there Jessi. Yes, it could definitely get interesting. Glad to hear you can't wait for more. I'll try not to disappoint.


SmirkyRaven! Thanks for taking time out even though you were running late for work. Hope you had a good day at work. I'm flattered that you thought my characterization was "amazing". Thanks. I always say I've accomplished what I set out to do if people can really *see* the scene in their minds.


Kelly! Hi there! Glad you like. More soon - I promise. I'm not sure how long this one will be just yet. I'm at 55 pages (7 parts so far) and I'm not close to the ending yet.


Hey Lisa! Yes, "Clark's" last night and "Lois's" last night, were two very different nights.

Awww


Hi Sheila! I just love that everyone keeps making guesses. But I'll just let you all affirm your suspicions on the next part. I'm so glad you're intrigued.


Okay, I know I said I wasn't sure what my posting schedule would be... and I still don't have a "firm" schedule. The parts may come erratically. But Sue was sweet enough to do some beta for me today, so once I get done picking at it, I have enough to post part 2. If not tomorrow, then some time on Saturday.

Thank you all so much for all your fdk and comments. I enjoyed every one of them.

-- MR

Oh, my goodness!! DJ posts a story without it being done. (I’m proud of ya’, girl. I know you will get it done.)




Loved this.

Poor Lois…

Oh, no!!


Clark is scared... More soon, DJ!!

DJ, you just keep getting better and better.

Oh interesting. Don't let us wait too long for more. Laura

Oh wow. I'm totally confused and can't wait to find out what's going on.

Jackie

Ahhh, snow days, gotta love them. I'm sitting here in my pajamas just writing away on my story - staring blissfully out the window at all the pretty snow on the ground.

Then I decided I needed a break. So I hopped on the boards to see what was happening and saw more tantalizing fdk.

Hi Nancy!

Yes, and already I'm doubting the sanity of that decision. I just finished making a revision to part 2... I'm always going back and adding stuff in my stories - that's why it makes me so nervous to post before I'm done... so, we'll see...

Awww! ) that she needs a name too. Go figure.

-- MR

Hey! I have to get my demands in early since you are still working on the story.

Does your muse take bribes? ^_~

Oh Jojo, make your demands! Heaven knows I just did!

Actually she's rewritten a little snippet of part two and it fairly sizzles on the screen, so I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for her to post.

It's such a fun idea and I'm jealous beyond words that I didn't think of it.

Sue (who knows what's coming and it only increases my envy - this is a *great* story and DJ is writing it beautifully)

Ah, DJ, how can I not love this?

Okay, next time I'm offered vanilla ice cream without chocolate sauce, I'll remember that this is as plain as the fact that Clark Kent is Superman!

Wow! That would certainly be a surprise first thing in the morning! (Insert Who's-that-funny-haired-woman-looking-at-me-in-the-mirror icon here!)

Hmmm... amnesia, amnesia, amnesia....

Oh, horror!!!!

Ehhh... I the LNC illiterate am having some problems deciphering what is going on here. On the other hand, Lois's haircut... didn't that happen in the same episode where Clark decided to break up with Lois for her own good?

My, what a situation! She thinks he knows she's asking about his secret identity, and he thinks she asks about why he is going to break up with her.

Oh, what an anticlimax! Poor Lois!

Hah!!! I can see Lois, barely-thawed, walking stiffly on half-frozen legs, swaying manneqin-like into the nearest salon to get rid of those icicles hanging from her hair!!!

Are you sure you looked for tattoos in all the right places, Lois?

Love that!!!!



Have mercy, DJ! But please come back with more soon!!!

Ann

Hmmm... Intriguing. Haven't heard of or seen the film, but still...definitely intriguing.

Yvonne

Ha! Hey jojo - I don't know, I'll ask her - right now she's simply complaining that I haven't named her yet.

Ha! Sue! I hadn't even seen that you had posted this (been too busy writing) - in view of the "bargain" that we just struck, this is so funny (see Bargain explanation at the bottom of the post).

But your comments tickled me to death. I'm totally blushing. Thank you!!!

Hi there Ann!

Thanks so much for all that wonderful fdk. You had me in stitches as I read it. Especially this:

Hah! The imagery is too funny. And then your comments about her becoming a buddhist, a vegetarian and looking for tattoos. I was practically rolling in the floor.

Well I didn't *literally* mean 50 First Revelations... it was a play off of the title "50 First Dates" -- but who knows? It's not finished yet, after all,

I promise to come back as soon as I can - but my posting plans have changed a little bit. See my note at the bottom of this post.


Hi Yvonne! I am so thrilled to have tempted you into reading this story. I hope you enjoy the ride.

------------------------

Okay, now for the note.

Back when I came to these boards in March of this year, I was desperately looking for someone to beta read for me.

And along came Sue.

<me wonders that if she knew what she was getting herself into...>

Anyway, it didn't take me long to realize I had hit the jackpot. And then shortly thereafter, she asked me to beta read a story for her.

I was delighted.

Then I read it... and I was ecstatic. I knew I'd found a treasure in my beta reader. It was at that point and time that a little seed was planted in my brain - wouldn't it be fun to co-author a story with Sue.

Then as the months progressed and I read more of her stuff and she read more of mine... the seed sprouted and grew - and more and more often I found myself wondering if she would want to write something with me.

So after sending her the first several parts of this story and enjoying some of her hilarious and insightful fdk -- and then receiving a delicious few fun and fanciful paragraphs from her -- I decided to take the leap and ask her if she would like to jump in and co-author this story with me.

She accepted - I'm so excited!

I don't know if I'll still be able to post part 2 tomorrow or not. I just sent the whole story (that has been written so far) to Sue to let her play with it. When she gets her additions to part 2 back to me, then I'll post.

So bear with me.

And thank you all so much for all the wonderful fdk and comments. I enjoyed every word!!!

Sue - I look forward greatly to writing with you.

Hi, DJ!

So... what is Lois's problem this time? Relapsing Superman-related-amnesia syndrome?

Andreia

Hi,

Interesting start!

OMG is right. Given this, and the fact that 50 First Dates is one of my favourite rom-coms, I can see I'm going to have to find time to read an ongoing story that isn't a short vignette for the first time in...oh, a century.

I'll wait to see if part one is going to be revised and reposted first though. Which I hope is soon! /me hands out lots of encouraging chocolate to Bubbles and...Sue's Muse (is she called Squeak? <G>)

LabRat

Hi Andreia! You most certainly are not *late*... I haven't posted anything beyond part 1, yet.

Ack!

Squeak? I like it. Hey Sue - is Squeak done with part 2 yet?

No, but seriously, thank you all so much.

-- MR

Eep, I know I'm a little late to the FDK party, but I digress.

DJ, this. Is. Brilliant. As soon as I read the title, one of the little voices in the back of my brain said, "!!! A play off the Adam Sandler-Drew Barrymore loveliness, maybe? Amnesia! Maybe? Even if it's not, this is going to be fantastic."

So I clicked. I read. And I *loved.*

And now it's going to be co-authored with Sue! !!! You're both terrific writers. And together? You two are going to rock this board's face off.

My favorite bits have already been quoted, so I won't post a study in redundancy, but suffice to say I can't wait to see the next post.

Oh, wow!!!!! A story written by DJ and SUE!!!!!!!

Ann

You have two Muses? Two?? Leaping Lizards, your weekly chocolate bill must be skyhigh, woman!

/me apologises profusely to the writing Muse and offers mucho chocolate....and a name.

Let's see...you could call her Hubble. (Hubble and Bubbles = Toil and Trouble ) Plus, of course, there's the Hubble Telescope - off exploring other worlds and sending us enticing insights into them. Just like your writing Muse does! (Is that enough flattery, you think?)

LabRat

Ha ha! Labby you kill me. Yes, that's quite enough, I think.

I can say, without a doubt, that part 2 IS NOT coming today. I deeply apologize, but Sue and I are in the middle of a massive creative brainstorming session. I sent her everything I had yesterday along with the "outline" for the story and she kicked it around for a while and sent it back to me... and then I bounced it up and down and sent it back to her.

So it's gonna take a little bit.

But hopefully you'll agree that it will be worth the wait.

-- DJ

Finally had time to read this (doing some major catching up tonight - I've missed so much great stuff the last weeks!)

I'm really looking forward to reading the next parts in this -- I've heard of the movie this is "related to" (ok, my English is not coming out right tonight, so I hope you see what I mean!) but I haven't seen it so it's quite new to me. Mind you, it's kinda obvious. *lol*

Not to mention I'm looking forward to the next parts cause I can't wait to find out what's going on!!! I'm sitting here, scratching my head, the same as when I'm done watching an episode of X-Files, especially one that has the three most dreaded words in the history of television: "To Be Continued". That's to say... I'm clueless, I don't understand what's going on, I'm getting really curious and I just can't wait to find out! It all make me want to scream!!!! And nobody wants to hear me scream. Trust me. You really don't!

So definitely looking forward to more!

Excellent start! Loved the movie of similar title, and am intrigued with where this is going.

I await the next part patiently. (Ok, not really patiently per se . . .)

Hi Lara, Rivka!

Thanks for the fdk! Glad to hear that I've left you wanting more.

I too am waiting anxiously. Sue has part two and putting her own special touches on it and I'm waiting to get it back from her.

<DJ runs over to the adjoining door between her and Sue's rooms at the asylum and checks to make sure there's nothing under the door... nope, nothing yet>

Just teasing Sue - taking your time.

Thanks for the fdk!
