Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Kiss Me Quick 1/2

Thank you, Virginia, for the challenge.

Feedback goes here.

You can't leave it there!! What a wonderfully creative story line. I at least want to hear the story behind her "life threatening" situation and of course how she gets Clark to Metropolis and The Daily Planet. This story has MUCH promise.

Brava! While I'm content with the story as it stands, I would certainly not object to finding out the rest of the story (as Paul Harvey used to say). Lois is apparently doing some undercover investigating, but how would her safety hinge upon whether she had a boyfriend at the airport? What cover story did she tell the organization she infiltrated? Your story is leaving me with lots of questions -- but not in a bad way.

I'm glad to see you posting some new stories.

Joy,
Lynn

Um... you're welcome but aren't you the one to suggest this First Line Challenge? Yes, although I must admit, reading through those Elvis song titles stirred my inspiration as well.

This was a terrific tale! What a great way for Lois and Clark to meet! I was beginning to wonder why Clark was at the airport (thankfully, NOT to meet Lana).

I love the reaction from Martha and Jonathan and how they just went with the flow! Very enjoyable!

My guess, is that Lois had been dating Lex Luthor, but something happened making her suspicious of his activities, so she broke it off. However, Lex wouldn't take 'no' for an answer, so she told him that she got back together with an ex-boyfriend living in DC (or met someone else who just happened to live in DC). She really was meeting a source in DC to tell her information about Luthor bribing congressmen and needed another excuse for heading to the city than "I'm investigating you!" when he asked.

Lovely and inspired story.

May I join the chorus clamoring for a sequel? (Love me tender?)

Well, this is interesting... It would be nice to read a sequel

Ooh, Virginia! You were right about Lex, but I hadn't thought of the congressman angle. Can I have it? Just in case I find the time to steal Lara's title idea?

Wonderful. I love it, and while it can stand by itself and leave the reader to create their own continuation it would be great to see more.

Haha, this was awesome! I totally didn't see that twist coming at the end. Martha and Jonathon's reactions were great too! Fantastic job!

RL is a bear, but honestly, you gotta finish this!

Lex is a definite possibility. But needing prove her excuse why she went to DC when she spots a tail definitely.

I was definitely thinking that she was running from Lex. I'm with the others. I like this as a one-shot but I am also curious for where you would take it.

I give it willingly. There's no need to chance Superman's attention with any larceny. Or was that the point?

Fabulous story! I was right there in the moment, immediately drawn into the scene. I'm a sucker for good alt-beginning stories.

I agree with Groobie. Immediately drawn in. I'd definitely be interested in reading more.

I'm always amazed at how much is conveyed and how quickly in a well-written short story. The reader starts with absolutely no idea what they are about to read (well, except here) and the author has to simultaneously grab their interest, provide context and introduce characters--and make it interesting enough that the reader will go on to paragraph 2.

Thank you all for the encouragement. Part two is in the works.

Ooooh! There’s another one!
So, undercover work?
LOIS: Did he just call me an under-the-covers worker?

Wait, what now?

While it sure is funnier this way…

By kissing her, I believe.
Some time later…
DAILY PLANET HEADLINE: The Damsel Phenomenon — Are Men Really That Easy?

Government suit or mobster suit?

Looking at the reflection of her?

CLARK: She wants me to take her back to my hotel room and show me a good time.

Uh-oh. Is it blonde? Strawberry blonde with a Kansan twang?

Okay, so a tad older than I expected.

Lucy! Lucy Lane.

So, Clark’s not a reporter, then, given how he’s not fainting right now?

I’m sure Clark will, too.

Sir? Boyfriend? While it could be anybody, I’m thinking Nigel, or at least a suited Lex goon.

Stay with him? Payment in kind is always an option after that kiss.

Ah… That’s why he didn’t faint at meeting his idol. She’s competition.

Uh-oh. So much for nookie.



‘for now’? This has potential!

Michael

Michael, you crack me up. And thanks for the proofreading catch. There will be a part two eventually. We've got a house full of sickies at the moment.

I was going to put my vote in for a Part 2, and am thrilled to hear that sometime there will be. Woo-hoo!

I LOVED this, completely. You created such a random, but perfect, way for them to meet. Kissing before they even know each other. Sorta working together, before they even both know the common cause. So much fun--and so WAFFy to see that oh-so-immediate interest/attraction.

Like Groobie mentioned, I too am a big fan of AU stories. To see that, regardless of the situation, Lois and Clark really do belong together .

Great job!
Laura

Thank you, Laura! Something tells me that Clark may have to remind Lois of how well they worked together right from the start. Good insight.
