Well, I'm back. Posting every other day again as usual.

Deposit comments here, please.

I like the subtle differences such as Alt-Clark not liking junk food. It seems like he's going to have more trouble coping with Lois' infatuation with Superman.

Joan

Hi Virginia

Welcome back: we missed you!

I LOVE this part, with all these subtle differences:

Very funny

If this continues to follow canon, I see a tip to the Metropolis Sweage Reclamation facility in Lois' future.

If this is Alt Clark and this Lois made him into Superman and then her timeline was changed, how much of what happened between her and canon Clark did she relate to him when they were together in the Alt universe and now he's trying, deliberastely, to reconstruct and how much is just happening?

Another problem, if her timeline was changed by removing Clark and Tempus because "Tempus Fugative" predates "Tempus Anyone".

Joan: Alt-Clark's food preferences are canon, but the use of stairs and some of the other things I gave him are mine alone.

Well, it 'tis a bit frustrating when one's substitute soul mate looks straight through you and only sees a man in a tight blue suit instead.

Sydney: Thank you. Yes, I did better with subtle here than in other places. I love how many meanings you can put to different lines of dialogue (this works especially well with Cat... )

I didn't know why either. He just told me, so you'll have to wait until you catch up to where my Betas currently are.

Thank you. Well, what WOULD canon Clark have done if he had heard Lois?

Why, thank you. I'll take some double clapping anyday.

Ken: There are 3, count them THREE, dimensions involved this in this story.

Canon Dimension = Where Clark DIDN'T die as a baby, where Lois made alt-Clark Superman, and where she married her Clark.

Alt-Dimension = Where this current Clark came from, which is the same as Canon Dimension until roughtly the middle of the 1800's, where Lois from canon dimension came and made him Superman, and where his Lois died in the past.

This alt-Canon-Dimension = THIS dimension where this story takes place is basically a copy of canon up until May 17, 1966. This dimension is the LIKE canon dimension in EVERY WAY, except that the Kal-El of this dimension died when Tempus covered him with green rocks as a baby. This dimension is also a damaged dimension (see below).

Or Not. Would this Clark do that to her?

Ahhh. See, this alt-Clark, but this isn't canon Lois. This is an exact copy of canon Lois as is this dimension (picture that alt-canon-dimension in Matchmaker where Lois didn't have the pendant). Everything that happened to canon Lois up until Clark joining the DP happened to this Lois. Kal-El's death in this dimension did change some things (Jonathan being in the wheelchair, some people who died who would otherwise would be alive per BOOK 1), but only the things that Clark Kent influenced in canon dimension that he wasn't around to influence in this dimension changed... until alt-Clark arrived to take over. Since nothing Clark Kent did influenced Lois' life until he arrived at the DP, her life is essentially the same (to that point) as canon Lois'.

The only temporal paradox here is the one that Tempus created by erasing himself from time by killing off baby Clark. Tempus closed the doorway into the past, which is why HG Wells and this Lois couldn't go into the past (to before Tempus killed Kal-El) to save this dimension's Clark without first saving Tempus and "righting" time (undoing the paradox).

BUT as far as this Clark knows, this Lois and this dimension have NOTHING to do with canon dimension. It's just another dimension just as his dimension was another dimension.

Hee-hee. Lots of laughs and evilness this chapter.
How much should I bet that Lucy misinterprets 'Mr. Right' as being Mr. Kent, and not Mr. Superman?
Kudos to you for being so detail-oriented.
Probably just another one of those annoying my-body-is-a-temple things. Nothing to be concerned about, Lois.
How funny! I thought that too when I was rewatching the episode- if it weren't for Lois' storming in, I think Floyd would have believed the boyfriend bit. Although... meh, who knows.
It's a give and a take.
The first openly admitted (semi-)memory?!
"It's complicated. We're meant to be together, because we're soul mates, but my Lois died and her Clark is gone, so I'm here to fill the void and be acting soul mate barring something else going wrong. Which in all honesty, will probably happen."
Danger! Danger! Red alert! Lois Lane? Nice? Come on, Clark! Use your noggin!
Mwah-ha-ha!!!

(Clark would make a great super villain.)

Excellent chapter, per usual! Can't wait for more- though things are only getting busier and busier, and I might have to cut down my comments a wee bit in the near future. Wonder if AltClark will take the same approach as canonClark did...

Mouserocks:

Why Lex always gets away.

And his dog. Don't forget that poor therapy pooch who probably won't make it until the holidays.

This Clark is more of an "at least there's some water in the glass" sort of guy.

Thank you for not grabbing the other word that most people use to describe my attention to detail.

Possibly. Or maybe he doesn't like to wait. He can move faster down (or up) the stairs. Maybe he has closterphobia. Who knows?

Maybe it would stop Floyd from peeking at that security camera he installed.

Nope. That would be "I know you! You're Chuck!"

Full disclosure policy at the fair housing office.

You've got to remember the only Lois he knows well is that post-Clark Lois from canon dimension and SHE's nice.

Nah, his sense of guilt gets in the way.

Or shall we just assume he does and not post Part 10 tonight? <<ducking>> AcK! More tomatoes! Well, then, I guess I will be posting tonight.

Thank you so much for the best unexpected belly laugh I've had in a long time...metaphoric ten foot pole!

Humor is a rare and beautiful gift, and boy have you got it.

I couldn't even finish reading the chapter. The ten foot pole demanded immediate feedback...In his pocket

Katie123: Glad you are enjoying my little funnies.

Why, thank you. I do my best.

Oh, dear. You couldn't finish the chapter? I hope you've recovered.

Oh yes...rapid recovery AFTER giving feedback...happily read the rest of the chapter...now suffering withdrawl from the chapter ending

But honestly, compelling character development, interesting plot twists, they keep me coming back. Clark's hotness is very diverting. But laugh out loud funny when you're not expecting it is a gift. That makes my day.

Lois misspoke. She had Clark for dinner.

I thought she *said* it two parts ago?



Eeeeehhh…

/cocks eyebrow/

Ooooh! Didn’t Doc Friskin use RR to describe Call-Me-Daniel?

That’s all true. But nobody knows about his heat-vision either. So, couldn’t he kind of evaporate Lex? Or whisk him out of the penthouse and let him fall down a couple of stories. Say, a hundred?

That’s what mirrors are for. And executions of arch enemies.

Right. Guilt.

Ah, what if he is a…say…sociopath?

Am… I think it would genuinely surprise Lex.

But he hasn’t been naturalized yet. He’s still an illegal alien. And where did Clark get the social security number from, actually?

Wouldn’t it have been fun if that had given Superman away as Clark’s boytoy just like it gave Tony away as Lex’s?



Michael

Hi Michael:

If that were true, do you think she would have mentioned it to her baby sister?

Selective memory.

Of course, she's *registered* to vote. When she turned 18, her sister dragged her down to City Hall and made her fill out the form. Actually voting on the other hand...

And that's going to change their relationship, how?

Of course, Lucy is thinking Superman! Who else?

"They" who? Doris? Lois? Yes, I was thinking about changing up that line, since Clark had spoken to Doris on the phone the other day.

To shut Lucy up? Although, it might backfire. Luckily, Lois never plans for the fact that she's jumping into a puddle instead of Loch Ness.



Then why did she have a job interview that required a business outfit?

/points towards Dead Lois Walking/
Is that why the font was so small?
On an unrelated subject: One just got to love those smileys.

That's what writing novels is for. And fanfic. Oh. Right. I think I just figured something out...

No no. It goes Supervillians < Men who eat little babies < Tempus

Oh. Okay. Then it wasn't just Friskin Sub Sarah in AL, but also in Prime?

Lois?

Isn't that kind of a spoiler? Okay, not. Since those things *always* come back to haunt you. Just like you die once you lose your very patient status in a horror movie.

Doris. Since Clark knows calling stories in works since he likely didn't have problems in his own dimension before Superman. So, Lois telling him they re-write him would be completely out of the blue. Like Elvis not being divorced.

Michael

No, no, no, Michael. Lois is trying to be a *positive* role model, not a Cat-like role model.

And I'm sure Lucy's response would have been along the lines of "Sqeeee! Tell me more!" So, no, not really shutting her up.

Another reason we right fanfic.

The family resemblence is too strong.

Oh, she *was* wearing that under her business suit. She's the original Catwoman.

Sarcasim, my dear man.

I don't spefically recall any mention of a job interview? And, though it is practiced rarely nowadays with the younger generation, some of us do appreciate when job applicants dress up for an interview (even for jobs outside of the office-sector).

I thought that had to do more of having to eat jail food for the last several months (or days, if you take the show literally) and dying for a good meal.

I believe the smilie you were looking for was this one:

I real writer doesn't put words in his/her characters mouth, but let their characters speak through their fingers. (i.e. while writing / typing)

I think you've been watching too much Austin Powers, Part 2.

Nope, always Sarah.

That would be the after party.

Maybe it won't come back to haunt him at all.

And I want to see a horror movie where you have to have sex to be protected from the serial killer... You know, I'm betting that there are pornos with this theme. If so, please don't tell me. I don't want to know. :p

As I mentioned before, I was thinking of altering this line to something else. Not everything is transferrable from canon.Face slap:

Okay, Michael, per your request (suggestion) the phone booth scene now reads as follows:

Michael

Lois doesn't like Rocky Road?! Squee!!!!! I love it!! That definitely brought a smile to my face. Hmm.. I guess she's got repressed pseudo-memories of Dan and her conversations with Sarah, doesn't she?
