Lois & Clark Forums Forums Thread Like Summary - FDK Scavenger Hunt: May 2024

Alright everyone, gather round: It's time for the

Great FDK Scavenger Hunt!

The Rules are as follows:

I will give you an item/concept/whathaveyou. You must find a fic that contains this item and leave an FDK post.

If the fic has multiple chapters, you only need to comment on one. Preferably the most relevant one.

How old or recent the fic is does not matter. (Except for scoring; see below).

Whether a fic is complete does not matter. (WIPs welcome)

Where the fic is hosted does not matter. (Ao3, FF.net, and someone's old Geocities page are all fair game).

Fandom DOES matter: only fics based on L&C:TNAoS are eligible.

If, and only if, the story has no pre-existing place for FDK (such as a story only found on the LnC archive), you may start a new thread for it yourself.


Your post must:
1. Mention this scavenger hunt (links preferred but not mandatory)
2. Quote a line or passage which proves that this fic contains what you're looking for
3. Mention something about the fic: this IS an FDK challenge, after all.


YOU MAY NOT tag a fic that someone else has already gotten to. If the challenge item is "sentient teddybears" and someone has already posted their FDK Challenge post on "Superman vs Teddy Ruxpin" (note: example title only, probably not a real fic), then you cannot claim the same story. You may, however, claim any sequel or prequel, etc., if it also qualifies.

YOU MAY NOT tag your own fic. Giving yourself FDK is just silly.

Multiple entries will only be allowed AFTER nine participants have reported in. This unlocks the Free-for-All.

When you have tagged your fic, come back here and post what it is. Links preferred if you can.

Questions may be posted here also, or you can come bother me on the Discord if you'd rather.

***

Okay ready? Since this is the inaugural one, let's start with something easy:

Find a Fic which involves TIME TRAVEL

OK, not made it among the first three (I'll blame the time-zones), but no big deal, participating is everyting.

So, I decided to trying to get the Most Ancient Fic points and chose a fandom classic: Irene Dutch's "Firestorm" from 1999.
You go here:
http://lcfanfic.com/stories/1999/html/firestor.html
or here:

(the latter link contains the FDK comment)
EDIT:
OK, and here's a quote to prove th estory qualifies:
QUOTE
"All right, young lady. You told the receptionist that you needed to speak to me about Superman. Please go ahead."

Lee took a deep breath. "Dr. Klein, you're going to think I'm crazy, but … I'm from the future. "

He started to laugh. "How'd you get here - by bicycle?"

"No, by time machine of course," Lee retorted. "Please Dr. Klein. Hear me out before you have security throw me out."

"All right. I'll listen, if you promise to leave quietly when you're done."

"Dr. Klein, that's a promise I won't have to keep. You're not going to want me to leave in a couple of minutes."

"We'll see. Please go ahead with your … explanation."

That should do it.

My entry is In a Better Place by CC Aiken

TOC

And, To my surprise, I actually got a reply from the author to my FDK and she was super excited about getting a comment it seems. So that's one success for the challenge. Bam, take that!

Ok I think I'm in the right spot now. I'd like to enter Foreshadowing into the list of time travel fanfics. I already commented on the feedback but I think I got a bit turned around since I've just been a lurker for years and have never really interacted with the board. I'm posting on this thread too just in case I was supposed to.

In my opinion, this story has everything I ever wanted in a time travel fanfiction and it even ends well which is often tricky. I only wish Happy Girl wrote more stories.

I'm super late to the fanfiction game after being a fan of Lois and Clark since I was in 5th grade. I think I've read nearly everything now. This fanfic is probably my favorite. Here's the link!
