Wonderful! I loved how well Lois handled the reporters questions. I can really see the true character of Lois come out, even in this alternate-reality. It is interesting that you are writing from the perspective of a size-16 Lois. Unique and wonderful! Please write more! Annie

Kudos to Lois for putting those reporters in their places. And it's amazing that she remembered all their names. Unless they were wearing badges or something like that? It is irritating how Lois keeps calling Clark "Smallville". Is it a defense mechanism to keep him at a distance? "All in all, it’s gonna be a great first day back for you!"
Squeezing Clark’s warm palm, she smiled back at him. “You’re making it great.” Sweet way to end the chapter.

Hi, Great part.  “I have to compliment you on your weight loss. Are you on any special diet at this point in time? Do you have any tips for other overweight women?”
<Thank God this is the last question> Lois thought to herself. “Well, spending two years in a third-world country with food rations and malnutrition is one way to start a diet,” she replied with a sincere, but somewhat sarcastic, tone in her voice. “Actually, in all seriousness, being in that environment does change your perspective on food. It’s so plentiful here in the States that we take it for granted. Part of being overweight is your attitude about eating, I believe. In Africa, eating was for survival, not for pleasure or for emotional support. Love all the answers.

Hey, Mrs. Mosley, the reference to Lois calling Clark 'Smallville' comes from the show of the same name. On that show, Lois Lane calls Clark 'Smallville'. When she initially met him she thought he was a hick and didn't realize what a great guy he was. (Sounds familiar, eh?) Now the name has become a sort of pet name.
Great part, ChaaBreh. I thought it was interesting that you made Linda King relatively unknown to Lois, and that Vickie Vale was the college roommate. Interesting take.
Looking forward to more....

And I have so little time again....
I loved that one of the reporters was called Curt Swan! Curt Swan is the second most famous Superman artist ever, after Joe Shuster, who was the one who originally drew the superhero and came up with the basic looks for him (black hair, spitcurl, blue spandex, red cape, red briefs and boots, red and yellow 'S' shield). I loved Curt Swan's images of Superman when I was a kid!
And I generally loved Lois's way of taking on the press in this chapter! Go, Lois!
And I'm really looking forward to the rest of this - I really hope that Lois will not lose too much weight, and that Clark will fall in love with her regardless. And then I want them to get together for real - well, I'm not going to give you any suggestions about how you should write about that, and what exactly you should or shouldn't tell us, but - oh, I would just love it if these two got together in this universe too, in spite of Lois's weight!

I hope she doesn't lose too much wait either. I think it would be wonderful story and a wonderful statement if Lois continued to have a struggle with weight. She is still a beautiful person. And isn't Clark already in love with her?

Regards the "Smallville" nickname: it's Clark's nickname in the comics as well as the animated series.... not just the TV series Smallville...I think it's cute, and she explained to him previously that it was *her* home town, too, in their past life...so when she uses it, she's kind of referring to their previous life together, which I think is sweet....
Regards Lois' weight: she's a size 16W instead of a 28W. That's a pretty significant weight loss. Those of us lucky ones that have dieting experience know that the first 100 pounds is alot easier than the last 50 or 60....plus, Lois is back in the U.S where food is more plentiful = greater temptation.
You can be assured that this Lois will *never* look like *our* Lois. But she can still be attractive, feisty, smart...all of the qualities that we love in our Lois Lanes...
