I'm stitches over Lois knocking Scardino out. Hopefully now he will get in his jelly of a brain that Lois is off limits!

Poor Lois hope they find a solution for he memory loss ASAP. DJ you better come back now with the rest!

OMG, she forgot it all! How sad. Poor Clark makes one stupid, ok idiotic, mistake and his whole life is turned upside down. I'm really feeling bad for him this time, even worse then for Lois. Yay for hitting Scardino. That was great!

Jackie

For a sec, I thought it was Clark getting hit over the head. *lol* (until the *thud* anyway, there wouldn't have been one, then...) Of course I couldn't help but notice the other comments and I know it's Dan now (*YAY* he deserved it!) but anyway...

Wait a second! She doesn't know it's Dan? She would recognize him, no?

GASP! Don't tell me she doesn't remember that Clark is Superman, now? Dammit... now I'm scared that most of her mind is gone or something. Noooo!!!!

Oh crap....

Nooooo!!!!! *cries* Poor Clark. Come over to my story, Clark... Lois remembers you over there. She's mad at you over there as well, but she's *this close* to forgiving you.... (and then you can make out. ...and things... *lol*)

LOL!! Excellent!

Lost puppy... Really makes me wish he hadn't been found! Then again, I'd freak out if I saw his face on the milk container one morning... *lol*

Oh, dear God. Poor Lois. Poor Clark!!! *hugs both* (but kinda lingers a little longer on him, there...)

Saved by the mumbling!! Dang it, Clark, don't destroy the evidence!!!

Yeah... and you really have NO idea how jealous the rest of us are! Mind you, I'd rather have Clark, but obviously, since Superman comes with, well... I'd take him, too. *shrugs* (ROFL)

*dreamy sigh* - too bad he doesn't mean it the same way when he's in her appartment as he did the other day, during the snow storm. Oh, wait, that's another story, isn't it? OMG! There was honey in my tea? Oh no! Maybe I ingested some of the drug, too? Ahhh!!! Help!

(I'm on pain meds... can you tell?)

That one just makes me melt. Totally, melt.

*dreamy sigh*

*dies of laughter* Excellent!!

Loved it! Cried, of course... I can't wait to see the next part.

Hi,

Great part!

First of all, I'm really enjoying your story! And after reading all parts I have to leave some FDK.

Knocking Dan down... YAY - Great Lois

omg and Lois lost now 6 month... has that now anything to do with Mayson's death or with the "first real kiss" with clark?
Poor Clark, he has to exlplain everything again.

oh no!
Barb

Gaaahhhh - a couple of weeks ago I skipped my weekly vacuum-cleaning, and the next week, aaargggh, the dust bunnies.... (It's easy to identify with Lois, but not with neat-and-tidy-charming-and-witty-handsome-and-perfect-in-every-way Clark, isn't it?)

Oh, wow! Never let it be said that Lois Lane doesn't know how to defend herself!

Oh no noooo!!! She doesn't remember that Superman is Clark Kent, and certainly not that she has agreed to marry him!

Oh, wow - poor Lois, but I can't help that I think it's funny too....

Oh, so sweet and funny! Ahh, her self-consciousness about her pyjamas....

Oh poor, poor, poor Lois.

No no no no nooooo!!!!!

Phew! Saved by the mumbling, like somebody already pointed out. Would you please be a little forgetful and not so excessively neat this time, Clark?

Great paragraph. You write the respective fears of Lois and Clark so very well. And in this situation, all they can really do is reach out to one another. Lovely.

Well, I'm really glad he's being honest with her.

Very good question....

I wish he had done that.

You know what, DJ and Sue? I feel sorry for Clark here.

*sniffle*



Oh, so, so beautiful.... (That gesture of his, when he cups her cheek, is absolutely exquisitely tender and adorable.)

I love it.

Whatever else she might have forgotten, she remembers that she has always felt so safe with Clark, as Sue pointed out recently in Platonic. I'm so glad they finally embraced.

Like somebody already pointed out, that's perfect!

Great chapter, DJ and Sue! Let's hope nothing nasty will happen to Lois now that Clark left her alone....

Ann

I have a few tears in my eyes right now... I don't know if I like you two women right now very much.

The real question here is... did Lois mention he was Superman in her journal?

Ahhhh!! such a frustrating situation right now. To have been so close to an answer and to not get it and have her regress further.

(P.S. Of course I still adore you guys... but I have to express my sadness somehow ^_~)

Haha. Loved Scardino getting his butt kicked by Action!Lois. 'Yeah, let me just get into her room and check on her.' Way to go, doof.

I'm still following the story . I owe you guys fdk on the other parts, since I came back at the end of Jan I lost my place and now I'm trying to catch up (which means reading out of order and being generally lost). But yeah back to the chapter at hand, it's so sad that they seemed so close to really getting everything solved last part only to have her memory stand in the way.

LOL!



I realized a bit ago that Lois must have lost more of her memory, but I still can't help laughing at this!

this too

I almost - almost - feel sorry for Dan.

<snort> Yes, Dan is goverment agent, but I think she'd have a hard time finding anyone who'd blame her for beating him up! He needs it on occasion.

Awwww! <sniffle>

I can't believe you did this, girls! I'm gonna cry. But, damn, this was a good chapter.

I know I started out this story really mad at Clark. But now I just feel so badly for him. No one deserves to be returned to the hardest moments with their loved one, those moments in which you aren't sure that love will triumph, over and over.

OMG! OMG! DJ! Sue! Please, please tell me that Sam's guess isn't correct!!!!

P.S. Lara, you crack me up, girlie!

You are evil.

Teh evil.

*Chases Sue and DJ all over the room with a cricket bat*

EVIL, D’YA HEAR ME?! Why, when I get my hands on you two…!!! *shakes scepter at you threateningly*

Hasini.

This was actually quite a fun instalment.

Poor Lois, having someone break in and inject her with more of the drug that's been scrambling her brain. Now she's lost even more time.

It was amusing, though, to see her stumbling through a situation that she had no way to understand. You played it out quite well.

It seems that Lois has now forgotten her Eureka moment, and is now even beyond square one in her battle to regain her memories.

Looking forward to more.

Tank (who finds it hard to believe that Lois didn't notice that her hair had been cut short)

Wow!

Future warning for all intruder's in Lois apartment, friendly or otherwise. If you want to survive, either be Kryptonian or wear a hardhat.

Lois forgetting she knows Clark *or* Superman? Wouldn't that be something. A man flying in her window and kissing her. Would she be offended or too shocked to care?

Hello everyone! Apologies for the lateness of my reply! Oooooh, but such exciting fdk! Yay!

Crazy_Babe! I'm so excited to see you. I didn't realize you were following the story. Yay! Thank you so much for that fdk. I'm not yet sure when part 20 will be posted. Hopefully, if things go well, sometime this weekend.


Hi Jackie! If we were able to get any of you FoLCs to feel more sorry for Clark than Lois (after everything we've gone through in this fic) then I think that's a real accomplishment. But yes, poor Clark. <me pats> I'm glad you liked Scardino getting knocked unconscious - pretty funny stuff, if I do say so myself. Thanks for the fdk.


Hi Lara! Hah! Well I suppose if Lois really did forget who Clark was, she just might whop him upside the head too.

That cupping of the cheek thing... that was all Sue. <me hugs> Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the "fifty revelations" part. <g> I just had to find a way to sneak that in somewhere. Thanks so much Ann.


Oh, Jojo! <DJ pats Jojo> Poor thing! Here, here's a tissue <DJ passes a tissue> You know... I just don't know <g> Did she mention he was Superman in there? Do they even have the journal?

Whew! So glad you still adore us... I was worried for a sec. Thanks for the fdk, Jojo!


Hi Alcyone! Action!Lois - hee hee - glad you enjoyed that. And for some reason your use of the word "doof" completely cracked me up. I had to LOL. I'm glad you're back with us again and thanks so much for the fdk!


Oooooh! SamEggert! That would be really evil, wouldn't it? <whistles innocently...> You don't really expect me to give anything away, one way or the other, do you? Thanks for the fdk!


Hi Lisa!!! I'm glad we were able to make you laugh. <g> Ooooh, and "almost feel sorry for Dan" -- hee hee.

Awwwww! Thank you Lisa. Like I said before, it's such an accomplishment when you can start someone out absolutely furious at a character and move them to the point that they feel bad for that character and truly feel their pain. Yay!

No. No admissions or declinations from me about anyone's guesses... I'll just let everyone stew about it until the next post. <g> Thanks for the fdk!!


Hi Hasini! WOW! Just look at all that fdk. But ack! A cricket bat!? <DJ waves at Sue... RUN, SUE, RUN! Save yourself!!!> Hee hee....

Hasini - you can never be too paranoid... trust me. <g> I'm so glad you enjoyed that one whole long section. And the words Genius, Inspired, and Classic, totally made my day. <g>

Ack! I don't want to be responsible for anyone throwing any scenes out the window in the fics they are working on... a lot of ideas can be done, and redone, and done again. <g>

Your next line "IlovethisficIlovethisfic..." cracked me up and made me blush. Thank you!

Medical bills? Would a bandaid help? I'm just a poor writer you know. <g>

Again, glad everyone enjoyed the "Danbashing". <g> But I do find it funny that you were able to feel bad for him. Hee hee. You love the fic but you hate us? Ack!!! Well... at least you still love the fic... that's the main thing. <g> But this line:

Totally made me LOL - and snort! Cracked me up!

India's missile defense system?.... <DJ makes notes in her secret notebook - Hasini, possible secret agent...>

ROTFL - well, mom always said that imitation was the highest form of flattery. <g>

Yes, most likely five more chapters. You're crying? At 5!? I could have said 3... or 2... wouldn't that be worse? <g> Oh dear, if it's not a cricket bat, it's a scepter. <RUN SUE!>

Hee hee - thanks for the fdk Hasini!


Tank!!! Hello there! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Ooooh, what a compliment. Thank you very much. When I first started this installment, I kept telling Sue how nervous I was to try and go from writing a 3rd season Lois with amnesia who had just gotten engaged...back to writing a 2nd season Lois who didn't even know Clark was Superman yet. Eeeek! I told her she'd have to help me stay on target...and she did. <g>

Oh, and in reply to your comment about finding it hard to believe Lois didn't notice her hair... Give the poor girl a minute to take everything in, would ya? <g> She had a lot to digest in those first few moments...

Thanks so much for the fdk!!!


Hi AnKS! <g> Thank you for the WOW! Glad you enjoyed it.


Hi Woody! <snort> Yes, Lois is not someone you want to break in on, is she? <g> And LOL at the thought of Lois forgetting who Superman/Clark is *completely* and him flying in her window and kissing her - the scene I had in my head of that was way too hilarious...


Thank you all so much for all your wonderful and generous comments. I loved them all! We'll see you back for part 20 real soon.

-- DJ

Oh, I'm being harassed today! You wouldn't believe the pressure, the pouting, the taunts of "liar, liar" that my dear, sweet co-author has been heaping on me to get me to say something in this thread.

I'll confess - it's *DJ's* story. I just have the best beta job in the world because instead of just suggesting changes, I get to full-out make them. So, in a somewhat half-a$$ed fashion, I have "co-written" this story. It works like this. DJ sends me a part. I go through it and get really mean, leaving red everywhere as I make snarky comments (most of them unprintable), change a word or two or argue over whether a crystal candlestick would shatter if you hit someone with it. (DJ assures me that it wouldn't and I'm too afraid to ask how she knows that for sure.)

My point? Because I did have one... I feel guilty answering the FDK for this story because, with a few exceptions, the words aren't mine. The story is hers. Back in the planning stages my contribution to this specific part consisted of suggesting how funny it would be if Lois were to get up one morning and, instead of tripping over the plant, she trips over Dan's unconscious body and has no idea who he is or how he got there. So you can see, that got changed a lot in the interim. Most of my suggestions plot-wise ended up that way. (Which would go a long ways towards explaining why I sometimes get so mean with my edits.... <evil laugh>).

So I'll answer for the parts that I can identify as what I contributed.

The ring on her hand sent a nervous excitement through her. Was she engaged to Superman? Heh. No explanations necessary, Lara. We all wish it for ourselves.

You wanted to be my wife, he thought to himself. For just a little while you were mine. Yeah, I loved that bit. Glad I could soften even Ann's heart in regards to Clark (aka "that lying SOB").

Woody - I love, love, LOVE the idea of Lois not knowing either of Clark's personas and him flying in her window. I'll get back to you on that one...

DJ's right. Those final paragraphs were both of us. <sniffle> DJ, you complete me.

That awesome line at the end about 50 revelations left to go? Not mine. All DJ. She rocks!

Where do I start?

No.

No!

It's DAN! Yippee! Couldn't happen to a better guy!!!!

Ok, the rest was dealing with things which was great too, but I really hated/liked the first part.

Though I think Henderson should yell at Clark for touching the evidence of the memory box!


Personally, I think that large doses of the drug messes with your memory and smaller doses brings it back slowly.


James, who snuck in and am posting this while my muse is changing a diaper...Whoops, got a run.

Yikes! It looks like your entire chapter has been already quoted back to you, and I feel sort of silly for leaving such a short note, but I just wanted to let you know that I loved the chapter! There's not much for me to say that hasn't already been said, but I'll add in. This chapter was amazing.

I thought it was Clark right up to the moment e hit the floor.

It makes me nervous how cavalier they are being about the CK=SM thing in front of an unknown intruder.

Surprised me again.

This is right up there with "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." You would think Dan would have learned his lesson the last time.

Nice of you gals to insert a little humor in your oh-my-it's-bad scene.

Bad boy. Don't do it. Step away from the whack-job quackpot doctor.

This is so sad.

Poignant. Bittersweet.

The emotions you right are so true.

Elisabeth

Oh MAN!

I have to admit, I'm a little slow. :p I didn't even catch on about Lois' memory until she freaked out over Clark's change of clothes. I was too worried about Superman and all this 'honey are you okay' stuff with the 'intruder' still in the room.

I LOVED that she beat up Dan and didn't remember him, Hah!

And poor Clark. 15 parts ago, I still wanted to club him with a brick. Now he just needs a hug!

JD

<DJ stumbles dizzily into the thread>

Sorry, I did so much eye rolling at what Sue said, that I made myself a little dizzy. <shakes it off so she can see the screen straight>

Yes, I was harassing you Sue. I've told you again and again that this fdk is yours too. <g> I learned a very important lesson over this harassment... I just might be able to pull off the "mom thing" if and when I'm ready... I seem to have a pretty good guilt trip. <g>

And LOLS - Yes, be afraid, be very afraid that I know that a crystal candlestick won't break when you hit someone over the head with it. No, it just so happens that I happen to be a klutz sometimes when I'm doing housework, and I have dropped, knocked over, whatever you want to call it, my crystal candlestick from a height of about seven feet, down to a hard linoleum floor - it didn't break. I think if it can live through that - thatI could knock someone in the head with it and it would survive. LOL.

I rock? <blushes - turns 5 shades of red> I don't know about that... but thanks for the compliment, my queen. <gets dizzy for a whole other reason...>


James! Or James' muse! I loved all the panicky "No's" Hah! Too funny! And the "aaarrrrggghhhh" - it made my day. <g> Yes, it was Dan. And eeeeoooooo to the diaper changing thing. Hee hee. Thanks for the fdk, James!!!


Laura S never feel silly for leaving a short note. NEVER! You hear me? Ahem <clears throat> seriously, I love fdk any way I can get it. I of course love the long, scrolling comments... they make me drool. But I totally adore hearing from anyone and everyone - I don't care if it's just one sentence "great story" - I LOVE it! Thanks for the "amazing" part. <g> Yay!


Hi Elisabeth! They weren't really being as cavalier as it looked about the whole Superman/Clark thing. Clark checked on the intruder by looking in on him... we all know that Clark can hear better than anyone - he could tell that the man was out cold. And the intruder was in another room, across the apartment -- he was in Lois's bedroom. Clark had coming in through the living room window. And don't forget that most of the time they were talking to each other, it would have been in muted voices - murmuring. The main time that they got loud was when Lois was yelling at Clark when he suddenly turned into ... well ... Clark. <g>

Glad you enjoyed the humor of the scene. I felt like it was this really scary thing that happened, and that in places it should be really frustrating and sad, but part of it just really spoke to me in humor - it just seemed to lend itself to a good laugh in places.

Thanks for the "emotions" comment. I told Sue that it felt really difficult to write this scene and get the "feelings" right - I told her I needed a lot of help to stay on track - glad to know we got it right. Thanks for the fdk!


Hi Jen! I'm so excited that we caught you off guard that Lois had lost more of her memory - that's too funny. And I'm glad you enjoyed the Dan bashing. <g> And even more glad that you are ready to hug Clark after all the abuse he's taken in this story. Heh. Thanks for the fdk!


Thank you again everyone for the fdk! I'm still not sure when 20 is coming out - it's been written but it's under scrutinization right now. <g> Plus, I wanted to make darn well sure that Sue got part 12 up sometime this century - so I kept nagging at her to leave this story alone and write on part 12 - it looks like she finally listened to me.

C-ya all soon!

-- DJ

This part was so great, but so sad at the same time. Lois has lost even more of her memory now. Does this mean that Clark is going to have to go back to hiding who he is when he's with her, or will he have to tell her every single day that he's Superman?

This story is going in a very interesting direction. The only good thing about her losing more of her memory is that she doesn't remember Dan! Not that I have any doubt that he'll still be an annoying third wheel.

Great part! Let's have the next!

Sorry to take so long to post FDK, but I wanted to say how much I loved this part. You are evil for taking Lois' memories away. Well, more away.

Huh, what? FDK - oh, yeah. Loved his greeting and we get the first hint that all may not be well in Lois-land when she calls him Superman in her thoughts.
Sorry to quote so much but this revelation was soooo good. Typical angry Lois when she first finds out and stunned speachless when she sees the ring.

<snort!> Lois Lane in the living room with the candlestick.

I know others quoted this, but this was oh so sad.
<sigh> WAFFy heaven.

OK, everything could still work out quickly. Lois for some unknown reason sits down on the sofa (maybe to contemplate the shocking revelations and feels the journal under the seat cushion. Add that to the voicemail message at Clark's and we could be back to the honey-colored stuff in her kitchen. Oh, and Clark needs to remember to give that list of scientists another look. Doesn't Dr. Petersen have access to the adjoining lab? I just know he's dirty.

Come back soon with the next part.
BJ

Ooooh, yay, more fdk!

Hi Symbolic! Oooh, all very good questions... and guess what? You can find out later tonight if you want. Part 20 will be posted tonight. Thanks for the fdk - I'm glad it's holding your interest and yes, it's nice that she can forget Dan, huh? <g> See you soon with part 20!


Hi BJ! <giggles and shouts at Sue - we're being called evil again!> I'm so glad you enjoyed the revelation - thanks.

I completed LOL at "Lois Lane in the living room with the candlestick". I LOVE to play CLUE... unfortunately hubby won't play with me... he usually loses to me, so he won't play <shrug>. But that was too funny.

<snort> I just love how optimistic you are in your last paragraph... ahhhh, if only you weren't reading a story written by evil authors <g>

<DJ ducks and runs out of the thread, yelling behind her -- part 20 later!!!>

Oh, my! Who was the man that came in through Lois’ window. Dan. Should have figured...


And Lois is back to not remembering what’s going on. Arggghhh.... Oh, crap! Now, she doesn’t even remember that Clark is Superman. Noooo....


And, ah, Sue. A crystal candlestick, especially if it’s lead crystal, is strong enough to kill someone...


Now, I just wonder if anyone knows why this thread is so wide. Weird.

Hi Nancy! Thanks so much for that fdk! Yay!

Told ya, told ya, toldyatoldyatoldya... Yes, a crystal candlestick is strong enough to... wait... KILL someone? <DJ won't ask how Nancy knows this> Ha ha ha! LOL!!!

Thanks Nancy!!!
