Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Superman Divided - (1/5?)

I *loved* Superman Returns (and I know that at least Genine - SuperGem - will agree with me even if no one else does!) and I have serious crush on Routh-as-Superman, so I am excited that you posted this, DJ!

Not much time for FDK, but I will say this - a) loved it (of course, I love everything you write) and b) you really made me feel the pain that they are both feeling.

What a great zinger of an ending! Definitely leaves me wanting more.

Oh DJ, I'm so glad you decided to write this one! I have some real FDK for you (You know I am terrible at getting it to you on time) but I wanted to let you know how thrilled I am to see more to this. That last line of yours... well lets just say I'm still sniffing and holding back a little tear. To sweet.

I know it's already been quoted, but I really liked the line... It's so perfectly bittersweet. <sniff>

Looking forward to the rest.

Okay...you guys are going to have to bear with me because I've just woken up to this and don't have all the facts at my fingertips yet.

But I've had PMs asking why the thread has been closed, so I'll put this in now to hopefully ease the confusion.

Just before I headed off to bed last night, the admins were alerted to the fact that DJ's story was not a LNC fanfic - something that she'd pointed out herself in the author's notes in her story:

Unfortunately, this forum doesn't host general Superman stories. Only LNC ones. There was some discussion on this and our main concern was setting a precedent for general Superman stories to be posted here, which would result in a drift away from the purpose and remit of the forum. If DJ can post a SR fanfic here, anyone should be able to post a Smallfic fanfic, say.

We're an easy going forum and we have few rules, which we don't tend to be over-zealous in enforcing. A suggestion was made that, even though DJ's story didn't fit the remit of the forum, if people were enjoying it and no one was complaining, could we just leave it as a one off? But it was decided - a decision I agree with - that we can't let one member post a non-LNC fanfic and then expect everyone else to stick to the rules. Precedent again.

So, I'm afraid we can't allow the story to be hosted here, DJ. Sorry!

Now, I don't know why the thread has just been closed and nothing posted to say why - I'm working on that and I'm sure there's an explanation. But I'll apologise anyway for the confusion and hurt this has obviously caused. It's not the usual practice of this forum not to explain our reasons for doing something, so obviously something's gone wrong somewhere in the process.

ETA: I've now read from DJ that, in fact, she considers this story to be a crossover and not the non-LNC story she previously indicated it was. We'll be working on that and if the story does turn out to be within the rules after all then the threads will be unlocked.

Bear with us. Sorry for the confusion.

DJ's asked me to post the following:

I'd just like to add, as I've already said to DJ, that this is really no big deal in the grand scheme of things. No one got killed, horses didn't bolt, continents weren't flooded. It was a misunderstanding all round. Hey, they happen. So don't worry about it, too much, DJ. It's just a blip. And, as it turns out, what looks like an easy blip to resolve. Which is just the kind of blip that admins really, really like.
