Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Clark TOC can be found Here

And, thus, brings to a close the Smallville Promises arc. I'm going to take another hiatus while I complete the next arc (so sorry about another delay). I'm trying to jump the A-Plot forward, and that takes some doing.

Many thanks to my betas IolantheAlias and John for sticking with me through all my bumps and delays. Thank you all for reading my never-ending story.

Feel free to leave any comments here.

I'm surprised he was keeping them on the floor literally.


Or is it knowing that she would be so understanding about the past that made him willing to share?

John Lambert: Hey, John! Long time no see on the boards! Welcome back!

At the moment, Clark's feet were on the floor. This is not to say that he didn't float all over that barn doing loop-de-loops.

It's amazing how clear viewing past events are with present eyes.

Thanks for commenting!

Well, it took two solid weeks, but I've finally read the whole story from part 1! I'm so impressed; I can't even begin to imagine how you're able to write so much! I really loved how you used Cat - you kept her flirtatiousness from the show, but added what always should have been there: a solid reporter in her own right with legitimate feelings and multiple dimensions to her personality. I like the changes between alt-Clark and the alt-alt world and how those differences have influenced the plot. And, though it took some time to get there, I'm glad that Lois and Clark are clearing away some of the dishonesty and are coming closer together. That can only lead to more nfic distractions!

groobie: Another reader!

Oh, my gosh! Have you slept?

L&C is my social life.

Thank you. Hmmmm. Cat Grant? I wonder what she's been up to?

Thanks. Alt-Clark's a different person than canon Clark and therefore could react differently to the same stimuli (and that sounded naughtier after reading your next line. I meant that in a purely GFIC way.)

Let's just say, that to be expedient (plot-wise) some of those upcoming NFIC distractions will be more implied than in print.

Thanks for giving my little story a chance.

LOL...I'm a teacher, so I'm at home on vacation right now. I've been reading it while walking on my treadmill, then flopping on the couch to read some more, then hopping back on the treadmill for some more reading. I lost a pound last week. Thanks!

Congrats! I'm glad to assist you.

I wish I could hook up some kind of treadmill contraption to my TV that would require a half-hour of walking for every hour of viewing (or simultaneous walking and viewing mode). I find walking in and of itself to be quite boring unless I end up somewhere exciting at the end... and then even then... I saw something online where this dad set up a Exercycle to his home computer and the kids had to bicycle for a 1/2 hour to get 15 minutes of computer time (or something like that). I thought "cool beans!" (Mainly because I'm weird and think weird phrases such as this.)

Catching up!
They don’t have the ‘happy wife, happy life’ saying over where he comes from?
ALT-LANA: We do. He’s just stupid.

LOIS: I think…I’ll go and take a shower, now.

There’s something off there.
CLARK: Oh shut up. The EW said that I’m happy, not that I’m coherent.

They had started to put in video surveillance in preparation of turning their farm into a B&B?


Also, for when Lois comes down:




CLARK:

/takes off glasses, cleans them, puts them back on/ Hmm…no, didn’t help

Like, when he receives a wedding invitation to the wedding of Lois Lane and her fiancé Clark Kent?

She might become passive aggressive about her friends getting married and having children?

Sounds reasonable?

He could wait till she’s pregnant?

How about the anniversary of her previous wedding?





Now look what you’ve done. Clark’s in a conundrum. Lois is confused. Tsk tsk tsk. Although, she might be wrong about Clark because if she does it right, he won’t have the mental faculty left to consider hating her.



CAT:



Points at Rule #66.

It might complicate things.

Oh, looky there.
CLARK: I *am* looking!



Huh…60s…I wonder…



Uh-huh.

Oh boy.



Michael

Darth Michael:

Hey, me too!

Actually, I had never heard that saying until I joined these boards. So, it's not as common as people might think.

CLARK: I meant that in a GOOD way!

Sorry, last minute edit while I was half awake / half-asleep. Thanks for catching it.

And that was the end of L&C's visits to the farm.

Well, that's not exactly what happened.
LOIS: Nope. Not feeling guilty in the least!

CLARK: Isn't it supposed to be this strong? I figured that's why everyone watered it down with milk.

Uh, no?

Can I suggest that my computer loves commas as much as I do and automatically enters them randomly into my story? Kind of like autocorrect?

CLARK: That's how I knew Lana and I had set a date. I mean, something like that. Yes.

CLARK: Lois has friends?
LOIS: Wrong answer!

It does, doesn't it? But this is Lois, so...

CLARK: But... But... But... we're waiting.
LOIS: /shrugs/ Accidents happen.

With Lex or that Clark from the other dimension?

He'd die instead of her?

And you'll thought Lex and Herb were the villains.

A woman's prerogative.

Only for Clark.

CLARK: This snow's not cold enough.



Yep. It still doesn't count as a proposal.

Sorry about ending it there for now. My muse distracted me (see NFIC Boards) and she's gone on strike since then. I just can't figure out her demands. I'll figure it out eventually and start posting again.

Things TV does to a society…

On the plus side: Wet and naked Lois in the shower?





Or like Lex kidnapping Loises just because it happens naturally?



CLARK: So, just stay away from that topic, then?

There’s also a SQD fic where this happened by accident.

Lex of course.

Would solve some problems, wouldn’t it?



?

Unrelated: If it's on Netflix next year, I can totally recommend the upcoming season 3 of Star Wars Rebels. Things should get *very* interesting considering the new antagonists they've brought on board. I believe the phrase is that it was 'very artfully done'.

Bonjour Virginia,
No FDK for this part, sorry, but all my gratitude for your storytelling talent...

I must confess that, when I first began reading your story and understood the premises, I was dubious you'd manage to hold all the threads together.

Boy, was I wrong!!!! (And very happily so.)

I ADORE your story. It's devilishly clever, and the variations on the theme are wonderful (For instance, I laughed out loud when you deflated the Ariana Carlin plot in 3 pages flat on the "second take"... or was it the third?)

Even if I sort of resented Wrong Clark in the beginning (for taking "our" Clark's place), I've sort of fallen in love with the character, and with this Lois.

The first part of the story (1st rewind timeline, with Clark as a ghostly voice in Lois' mind) was absolutely heart wrenching. It also showed how much CK/Superman was needed...

The present part is even more awesome: I adore your Martha and Jonathan and their relationship with 'Jerome' (his secret helping out at the farm was very moving...), and I really enjoyed your twisted variations on HoL and BatP. You juggled all the balls in the air, and none crashed down. I'm really really really impressed... And your Luthor was creepy while retaining all John Shea's charm.

I hope you'll have time to post the next parts regularly, as I'm really on tenterhooks to know how the story develops... Have you planned it all?

Is the 'curse' ineffective in a broken timeline? (The break preventing its continuation) Or does the fact that this Lois and this Clark aren't from the same timeline, they aren't "true" soulmates, so the curse doesn't work?

I'm also wondering how Lois will react once she learns that Wrong Clark isn't the one whose voice she is sometimes "hearing"? Won't she resent him, or remember her feelings at the baby's death?

And what about Wrong Clark's timeline? There is no Superman here.... and I'm afraid HG Wells won't leave it that way.

Apart from the A-plot, I absolutely enjoy your reinterpretation of the episodes. So, please, accept my gratitude for your great story which puts to shame the 19th century serialized novels!!

A French fan.

Millefeuilles:

Wow! Thank you for posting comments and let me know you're reading my story.

Me, too! Then, again, I had no idea this story would end up being this long.

Me, too!

Thank you. Frankly, I've lost count myself. After what Arianna did to Lois in the first book, I don't blame Lois for taking her down quickly.

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Alt-Clark.

Yes, Life in that universe was better with Clark. I'm amazed myself at how long I was able to keep Lois... Lois was able to keep herself alive without him. Go, Lois!

I'm glad. I can only see the creepy because my blinders are off.

I have the ending of Book 2 planned (yes, people, there will be an ending). It's just the getting to that part that seems to be slowing me down. Plus, my Muse has been distracted over on the Nfic boards lately. My apologies. I'll get back to work on Wrong Clark again soon. I'm trying not to post parts until I have what I can call a full-plot arc (a whole chapter or mini-story line within the major one). So, I'll post in micro bursts.

Those are the questions, aren't they? I do have answers planned for all those questions... by the end of my story.

Thank you. That's quite a compliment. I know it's huge and seems never-ending, but I *do* have an ending planned for Book 2. I promise! Thank you for reading! I apologize for all my delays. I'll nudge my Muse back to Wrong Clark and Lois's plight.

I've been working on reading this story since I came back to the boards a few weeks ago. I have literally spent every spare moment reading because I just couldn't stop. I didn't realize it wasn't done! I really hope you are able to finish it. It is such a great story. I believe 'The woods' is what you meant by being distracted on the nfic side. What a distraction that was!! I am in awe of your writing talent and hope to read more from you soon.

jackiek: Thank you for reading. Welcome back to the boards!

Wow. Thanks. That's quite a compliment.

Thank you. Yes, I am still working on Wrong Clark. I currently have Part 237 at Beta. I'm determined to finish it. It seemed as if I was posting so sporadically leaving readers hanging at awful times while waiting for me to write the next part. I like to have at least 5 parts written before posting, in case I need to go back and correct or change some plot point (it's happened before that my characters took me in an entirely different direction than the story needed to go). Therefore, I said I would only post when I had a whole plot arc completed (this story has MANY mini plot arcs), so that I wouldn't leave the readers hanging (or Lois) too long. I know it's been what feels like decades since I've last posted. My muse has been distracted often lately on other stories (see below) and this summer my internet connection will be iffy. I'm hoping that will mean I'll be distracted by OTHER (non-facfic) things less and finally be able to move onto the FINAL plot arc.

Thank you, again. Yes, The Woods distracted me. And then another (still unfinished) Nfic distracted me until it hit a wall. And NOW, a third Nfic has distracted me. What IS my muse trying to tell me about Wrong Clark, I wonder. I guess, technically, I could post Parts 229-233 now (as in starting mid-July), if my readers are desperate for another mini-mini plot arc. As I said, my internet will be iffy this summer and I may not be able to get access to internet to post in a timely manner.

Thank you for letting me know that you're reading with your wonderful and Muse-inspiring comments.

What? You're working on 2 others? Oh man! You should not have told me that! I'm totally excited! Looking forward to reading anything from you!

And thanks for the welcome back, I'm happy to be back.

omg not reading the comments because I'm apparently very far behind... just wanted to say WHAT?!! You're on part 228????? Congratulations man holy cow!

Okay. Definitely need to rearrange my schedule to catch up on this one. (Oh, what a trial to have )

Virginia.... there´s been a long time since you left us hanging on a thread… please, come back!!!

I haven't logged in since… 2017... and the first story I came looking for is this… and now I´m so frustrated!! I´ll have to start Reading from the beginning !!!

I´m so eager to read the rest of this marvelous story...

Hi Virginia!

I painstakingly pasted each and every chapter into a Word doc, then loaded it into my Kindle so I could read it straight through - and I couldn't put it down.

I'm so happy you're still working on it, and I can't wait to read more - even if it's just another chapter (or two or three or a dozen)!!

P.S.
I'm also super curious about the Lois from Wrong Clark's home dimension, since Wells keeps tutting about how much better off Wrong Clark is without her

Hi Virginia,

I just realized something! It's not even been five years since the last update. I'm hoping you're doing fine and everything. Am missing this story (and the FDK banter) very much

Michael

Hi Virginia!
A couple of years have gone since you left this story. I hope you are ok, and if there is any chance that you restart this adventure, I personally will be extremely grateful.

Sending you love and hugs from México,
Chelo
