Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: All Weathered Out 10/?

Okay, Lara, let's start with my hands-down favorite few lines from this part:

"Like she was in a science-fiction movie, when she would have liked to be in a romance novel instead...." I LOVE it!!!! It's so hilarious, and it's so smart, too! Imagine being Lois - surely you would sometimes think that you really are inside a science fiction movie? And surely you would think to yourself, now and then, that if your life has to be like fiction, couldn't it be like a romance novel instead?

Ann, I'm SO glad that you liked my little scifi movie vs romance novel line. I was trying to explain how "alien" it felt now, when it used to feel immensely pleasurable - I couldn't find how to explain it any better than that. I'm just thrilled that the comparison worked.

Hehehe! Glad you caught that. I've been slipping in several silly little references all through this story, I'm happy people notice them. There's going to be a list of all of them, when I'm done. Some are really very silly!!

Well, that's a lot longer than me. *lol* I was born precisely 6 months after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. (yeah, don't tell me, I've missed out on LOTS of stuff!) I first started being of fan of Lois (I wanted to BE Lois Lane!) back in the summer of 1981 when I saw Superman II for the first time.

I can only agree here. I was SO mad at him for doing that, it was unbelievable! I fully expected that they would "live happily ever after" and all that -- I desperately wanted them to! But no, he goes and does that and for the first time in my life, I understood adult women who said that men were pigs. (LOL! I'm sorry for comparing Clark to a pig, but... seriously!!!!!)

I don't remember the comics well enough and although I'm sure "movie Perry" would not have figured it out, this version of Perry (in L&C) is known to be very perceptive. So I think it's a fair assumption that he might have figured it out himself. BUT.... who's to say that he's known for longer than Lois has? He may have just figured it out during the course of this story. In fact, I think it's quite plausible that Clark's vague "family emergency" was the one thing that made Perry understand -- Clark suddenly needs to leave, when Superman is asked to go into hiding, and he has no real explanation for it, nor does he know how long he'll be gone. And the next thing Perry knows, Superman is asked to leave the city and Clark resigns...

I'd also like to point out that considering this episode (Man of Steel Bars) is the 9th in S1, my Lois is a LOT less stupid than the one on the show. It only took her a few months to figure it out. Because she did figure it out on her own.

Cause, quite frankly, I have to admit that I'm not all that crazy about "galactically stupid Lois" either. I mean, I know why they did it and I know it's part of what made the first 2 seasons so fun to watch, but it would have been a lot less irritating if she'd known sooner and had spent her time trying to prove that Clark was Superman instead. Definitely less irritating!!!

If it makes you feel any better, one of the stories I'm planning on working on next will have a much less vision impaired Lois in it. And a pretty dense Clark Kent, just to keep the balance. hehe! Lois is definitely starting to look like she will be the *real* hero in that one, so I've got a feeling you'll get a kick out of that.

Thanks, Lara! That sounds great!!!

(And, for the record... I just love Lane Smith's Perry. I definitely agree with you that he could have figured out Clark's identity!)

Ann

Loved the line about the Biblical deluge.


How little Henderson knows. Haha!

Hehe..

Pink?


Babble, Lois, babble.


Hah! SR.

What?

Oh, come on, Lois! Clark didn't tell Perry. Perry figured it out himself.

Isn't Lois reaction to Perry knowing just a little bit overboard?


I noticed this, too. I see you also liked it.

Dunno, I didn't look either. ROFL!

Yes, ma'am! Couldn't help myself. I'd been trying to put one of those in for a while. hehehe!

Considering she hasn't really slept in over 24 hours, I didn't think it was too exagerated... She was probably cranky already. See how she reacted to the two guys - even if she'd been mad at Clark, I don't think she would have been so rude to someone else under normal circumstances.

yep! I loved that line, it just killed me. LOL! totally retarded... LMAO!!!
Still looking for the perfect sig, though... Eventually I might find it.

Great part, Lara!

Poor Lois!

Andreia

Thanks Andreia!! I'm glad you liked it.

ok, so I said in the Kerth Buzz thread that I liked this story, and then I realized I hadn't FDKed the most recent part. I read it, I *swear*, and enjoyed it, I just didn't quite get to the reply part.


Superhero banter! Great stuff.

If only you knew, Jimmy...

Yep, plenty of heat.

I have *always* thought that Perry would have figured this out and fairly quickly. He is as perceptive as Lois, and he didn't have the stumbling block of love keeping him blind.

And Lois is pissed. Typical Lois!

So when do we get the make up scene, Lara?

hehehe - no worries.

Thanks for the comments, Lisa. I appreciate it!!

I'm trying to finish it now... I won't bother you with the details of why I haven't gotten around to it yet... most of it has to do with office work which I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention anyway.

But it's coming. I promise. It's coming.
