Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Backwards II: Return to Metropolis, 7/19

FDK goes here.

Tomorrow's post - probably about this time.

Thanks .

Carol [who really should be cleaning house...]

Hey, that’s so cool on OTOH. /me is still scared silly of archiving a tini-tiny 700k story

So she does all men who can fly? Explains why Lex tried to after he fell out of her graces.

Lois being careful about Superman is interesting.

LOL.

Uh, no strip poker, Lois.

Sheesh, do you have to talk him out of it?

/points to previous remark/

Um,… Lois, strip poker does not imply a pole and music.

So, does he have long underwear?

He’s invulnerable…



Carol, posting when I have access to an editor is just evil. FDK gets much too long :p Oh, wait, I can see the flaw in my reasoning and the problem with positive reinforcement

Michael

Carol, I found myself both laughing and almost-crying at this chapter.

Laughing:
I always laugh at the "underwear on the outside" bit. Because it's true.

And almost-crying:
It's so sweet and WAFFy!

Another fun chapter.

By the way, I hope your hubby catches the game-winning home run ball and brings it home to you as a sign that he totally regrets that you weren't there with him at the All-Star Game. Because you know he needs to grovel.

Thanks Iolan. He's in the top row directly under the 17 [retired numbers under the scoreboard] in a Cardinals jersey Tshirt with 'Dad' an no 1 on the back. Near the batter's eye grass area.

Hi Carol. I’m still here. I’m supposed to be writing but… well…

Anyway, I love the way they are moving along in their relationship. This is the perfect blend of moving quickly and deliberately forward but still having a nontrivial dose of realistic fear and caution. Very nicely done!

I have two favorite lines here: he does doesn’t he?

and That is such a beautiful thought.

Bob

I second Bob on my two favorite lines.

I love the fact that 1) Lois would rather have Clark than Superman any day, 2) Clark displays zero sef-jealousy over Superman, and 3)Lois is up-front about her hopes and fears for this relationship.

She's gotten to know the complete person almost from the very beginning and that's what makes this such a refreshingly light little romp.

Romp on!

P.S. off topic: what does IIRC stand for, as in word count?

Thanks guys .

Head's killing me though so... This'll be pretty quick.

Michael - I love the long fdk - tis fun!

Iolan - awwww! And yeah - I got nuttin' from last night except 4 cranky kids who were up too late and up too early this morning for a dentist appointment [which was fine except for the zillion teeny tiny cavities where molars are TOUCHING each other and therefore nearly impossible to clean well enough - the resultant crying is what caused previously mentioned headache - just one more bill we don't need right now - but on the upside you can see my friends' house explode here .]

Bob - yeah well on the writing . I read two books today in an effort to forget the dentist [both of which I'd read before and one of which had a good plot but poorly executed in places, including to me to a degree the resolution]. Anyway... He does stride . And only one does have to last a lifetime [cuz there's just something wrong about having two that last a lifetime...]

HG - IIRC is if I recall correctly [or remember]. Is that what you're looking for? I did manage to get BIII Ch 2 finished yesterday and then 3 and 4 just... floooooowed [though Kathy's making me edit them :p - she's right of course but still.... /whine and foot stomp/]

Thanks again!

Hey - I've never seen "Extreme Home Makeover". Do they always blow up the old home?

It seems a little overkill when they could just tear it down. Of course, just tearing it down wouldn't be all that exciting TV, though. I have to admit the explosion was curiously satisfying.

LOL! No. They take them down all different ways. I think this is only the second explosion. They burned one. I think most of them are just knocked down with bulldozers or pulled off with them - anyone else know?

And yes it was satisfying wasn't it? The barn was pretty cool too but not as cool as the house.

They're also in the middle of nowhere which means they can do something like an explosion rather than in a neighborhood where they couldn't. The Hamptons have 5 acres and lease 10 more. Surrounded by farms etc. Their application video is on that site too and you can see how cramped they really were.
