Lol, thanks for all the responses. I've been thinking a bit, and I feel it might help to 'splain some things.
I said this was AU but Elseworld may actually be a better classification. I tend to take a mixed bag of anything Superman related and stick the pieces together in different ways. You're gonna see some character names from all over the place (as Frame already noticed with Tess
) but I hope that doesn't scare you off--no previous knowledge is necessary. If the characters are important, you'll meet them accordingly.
I have a hard time describing my own writing, but I think I can say that I tend to do more character delving than plotty stuff, so you can expect the main dish of Lois and Clark to be served with a side of humor. 90% of my brain power is being dominated by things like dissertation prospectuses, SPSS, multiple regression analyses, presentations, final exams, and the like, so I wouldn't expect to get into too many complications over here. It should be a fun ride if anything.
Michael- I'm happy Lola=Lois wasn't spoiled early in the narrative. I was hoping that people would be kept guessing for a little while!
Sue- You're welcome to add kindling whenever you like! Those lines made me laugh too- I'm not as worried about my sense of humor now
Games- Don't worry about the Smallville knowledge. Even if you did watch, you'd only be able to identify the cameos. There will be veerrrry little correlation here. That goes for the comics, movies, and TV series as well.
Mosley- Yep, we're mixing (and I still have more stirring to do).
Carol- In case you do get sucked into taking DD7 to see Hannah, please know that you won't be spoiled here
What you've seen in the trailer is about as far as we go premise wise...
Speaking of premise...
Ann- The title is more abstract than descriptive, methinks. It has more to do with the tone than with the actual content, so I don't guarantee any appearances by Mr. Darcy at this point.
Amber- Glad you're along for the ride! We'll peel away at the layers (or secret identities) as we go. Bribery? I think that just may work. Have your people call my people.
'Til we meet again!
