Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: O Brother Where Art Though (10-A/???)

Story is Here.

FDK goes here.

Sorry it's so late. And short. I've been going through a bit of...stuff...in RL, and one of the things that happened is my laptop conked out and we had to reload the whole thing. I *should* have backed up my files, but...*sigh*. The good news is that none of the actual fic was lost (although this was due to me not having any more buffer left, really). I lost my outlines, which I think turned out to be for the best, and I had to re-download the script to the episode I'm referencing, but now I'm almost back on the wagon. I just need to find another free word processor that actually has a spellchecker, since for some reason I can never find a dictionary. <_<

Hi ...

No problem about being late--I'm continuously late on FDK'ing here . It's just always exciting to see more of any fic posted .

Loved how the Chief assumed that Clark was Michel...which I can totally see happening with them looking the same and Michel standing outside Clark's apartment.

I really enjoyed Clark and Michel trying to cover together and figure each other's gestures/etc out .

Looking forward to more...

So, telepathy is still on the blink, huh? Too bad, 'cause they're failing with the gestures. Apparently, they don't know what communication cues they need until it's too late. I was wondering what Michel was doing at Clark's. For a second, I thought it was when he lost his sight, but then I recalled this is S1.

I'm surprised Superman took a lift with Perry instead of taking a cab, but I guess it's safer than having everyone know where Superman is staying (because the cabbie is sure to talk.) Probably would have been good to warn Michel in advance, but there mustn't have been time. What a nice amuse-bouche of a part.

Have you tried Google Docs? http://www.google.com/docs We use it at work, sometimes. It does take some getting used to as the formatting features aren't as user friendly as Word, but if you have a Gmail account (I don't know about those who don't), it's free. Plus, it has spellcheck. I don't know if you can use it offline, though. That's the only drawback for someone with iffy wi-fi.

Loved the confusion about the hand gestures.

Ingenious about Perry thinking Michel was Clark. I assumed that Perry dropped Superman off because he wasn't supposed to be left alone. I could be remembering that wrong.



OpenOffice is a free program with spell check and a grammar check that is downloaded, although I haven't used either much. It converts to Word documents (.doc) although I use the "Save As" feature rather than "Save" for a new document because Open Office document (.odt) is the default. It opens .doc files. It also converts to pdf files if you need them, which my older version of Word doesn't. It also works on Apple MacOS X version 10.7 (Lion) - 10.10 (Yosemite).

Hi Mary! It’s so great to get an update! Keep on trucking! FoLCs are patient /shushes away /

Courthouse? Ah, yes. Next episode.

Oops?

I’m guessing ‘Clark’ has a heatstroke…

Well, considering just how much Superman is constantly violating the Bros-Before-Los code, I can’t see that one happening.

Wants to fly, too, even if he can only carry one passenger at a time.
SUPERMAN: Planes are cool!

OK’s unknown in France? Plus, it’s not code for other end of the human digestive system, either? /am too lazy to check Wikipedia at this hour/

Of course, the Frenchman understands this gesture

Noticed the sweets Michel brought, huh?

Looking forward to ‘B’

Michael
