This was a fundraiser fic, but now it's a birthday fic -- happy birthday LCFICMBS!

These boards first officially opened on April 9th, 2003. Hard to believe it's been four years

And how do I remember that date? Well... <scuffing toe on rug> y'see, it's my twin's birthday, too Happy birthday Rivka!

I posted a little early, but I'm hoping to get lots of yummy feedback all day tomorrow.

And, um, I sure hope you enjoyed the story!

Something like this only goes to show how Clark managed to do things the hard way with all kinds of complications thrown in for good measure.

Very waffy, Pam. Clark is his usual self(and lunkheaded doesn't even describe it, considering that he was going to tell her and then did an about face guaranteed to get him in trouble with her later for more mishandling of the truth) and Lois is being Lois at her best.

Nan

Oh, Pam! I love it! What a much better way to start ATAI, with Clark not being a lunkhead and Lois being, well, investigative! I really like this WAFFY sweet story.

I really liked that line. It really captures the essence of Lois at that time.

And this captures the essence of Clark, a really ordinary guy with extraordinary abilities.

Very nice, Pam! Thank you!

mmouse

Aww, very sweet! I always wanted her to find out right then.

Jackie

Oh Pam! That was so cute!

That line... I really, really liked it. Especially the bit with the verb tenses. I think Lois just made Clark's wildest dreams come true with that tiny little "ed" on the end of love in the part with Superman! Perfect scene to put in ATAI. Wish they had done that themselves, though I suppose that might have ruined the plotline a bit... :p

Laura

Are you serious. This is officially the second-longest activity in which I've ever participated.

Anyway, great twist having Lois hear all of Clark's practice speeches!

Have a happy birthday!
Jen

Aww! That was such a sweet revelation story! I really liked it!

So sweet, Pam. And so Clark! That scene when he's confessing to the photograph is great. Perfect idea to have Lois hear him!

But then Clark, the lunkhead - the super duper lunkhead - starts confessing for real, but then he backtracks and comes up with one more of his idiotic excuses!!!

But like Nan said, this story really showed us Lois at her best. These are some of my favoirte quotes from this fic:

That's telling him, Lois!

Aaaaawww!!!

Oh, so adorably Lois!!!

Great fic, Pam!

Ann

I loved this story. Short, succinct - able to be read in one sitting.

But that's not really why I loved it. I loved the way Lois' personality really came out, even when she was a little angry at Clark.

I also liked this bit: The word 'boneheaded' especially. So Clark. So classic

Well done! I always like reading your stuff, Pam.

I also liked the trailer for this one!

~Anna.

Happy Birthday to the boards! Just popped in to say I love this story and I will be back later with more detailed FDK!

The Little Tornado.

OH yes, great.... purrrrrffeeecccttt

just calms all of my anxt from that ep/

Hey, and i just realised its my birthday too
(well in that i've been a member for 1 year, my real birthday is in november)

Oooh! Pam!

<DJ tries to recover from waffy pool on the floor>

That was a lovely episode rewrite. Seriously, wonderful. Mmmmm! And everyone's mentioned it already, but I loved those verb tenses too. How nice that she lov'ed' Superman but she loves Clark. <g>

I hope I remembered to comment on this story in the DVD thread last spring - if I didn't, I apologize. I was still sort of a newbie. But I did read it way back then, and I just re-read it now... and loved it both times. <g>

-- DJ

NIce! Much better then the original. I even really like this Lois too! Laura

awww! that was excellent. Absolutely loved it!!

Yeah I LOVED it too!!!!!!!!
Really great story.

Eep... I was so busy enjoying these comments I think I forgot to thank you for them!

Well, plus I was busy with *tons* of real-life stuff last week. Between me and my kids we've had 3 birthdays in the last ten days, so we've had various celebrations -- plus I got a job! I've been doing the job for eight months already, but only as a temp; as of today, I'm an official permanent employee. Yay, me! It's the first full-time permanent job I've had since 1997. So, anyway...

Thanks, Nan -- yes, that was certainly not one of Clark's brighter moments. It was fun writing Lois's internal reactions to "Waldo" & the rest. I wanted to reproduce the scene from the show but with a very new viewpoint, so it was fun describing their words & actions.

Mmouse, I'm glad you think I captured their personalities. That's the goal, but sometimes it's hard to know if I've gotten close enough.

Jackie, yeah, that was such a fun scene and she was *so* close to overhearing it...

Thanks for liking the verb tenses, Laura That's one of my favorite lines, too, I confess.

Yes, Jen, it's been four years. And I had a lovely birthday, thanks

Glad you liked it, symbolic!

You always leave lovely feedback, Ann -- thanks! And I do like writing "Lois rescues Clark" types of stories.

Anna, thanks for mentioning the trailer. I was terribly insecure about it.

Glad you liked it, Little Tornado, Beethovan, DJ (DJ, I can't remember if you gave feedback before, but regardless, I appreciate you giving some now ), Laura, Lara & Another Folc You guys are good for my ego.

PJ

So sweet, Pam!

well Pam, you deserved it!!

Nice one, Pammy. And how devilish you are to say, "It's my twin's birthday."

I imagine Lois would be much more forgiving if she knew that Clark intended to tell her.
