Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Wrong Clark (148/???)

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

If you're wondering about Ralph's last name "Spagoda", I didn't come up with that gem. That honor goes to Rivka and Classicalla, from this Does Ralph Have A Last Name? thread. After reading that, I couldn't think of anything better.

I laughed so much at that. Very cool.

Great update as always. I cringed at Christine and Ralph. In fact it was more than cringe. Not at your writing but at the circumstances.

Anyway. I'm still waiting for all the yummy Lois/Clark scenes ... you've promised to make up for it now too!!!!!

I'm still reading with avid interest! Sorry about the lack of FDK... I misplaced my forum password for a while

A couple of general comments I've been holding onto for a while (when did you start this fic again?):

• The tone of the story -- oh, all the atrocities Lex commits!! And with such gusto! I really think that this is what Lois and Clark could have looked like had it aired on Thursdays at 9 PM instead of Sundays at 8. You've definitely made me despise the character more
• I absolutely LOVE how you manage to weave canon story lines together without messing up the time line. It is very inventive and keeps the story from becoming predictable.
• Well fleshed out characters: I really like the way you write Cat, and your Star is absolutely hilarious. I forgot which chapter it was, but I need to read it again. Bobby Bigmouth is a great new addition! Also, what a great way to explain the two Hendersons
• Lois is is such as badass

Did you beat the record for the highest word count in a fanfic yet? Between this and Another Lois, it has to be true

I don't think I'd be able to read this as a completed story on the Archives... I probably wouldn't sleep for two months :p

I'm looking forward to your next parts

KatherineKent: I'm glad you enjoyed Ralph's last name. As stated above, I cannot take credit for that gem.

Hence the TMI (Too Much Information) Warning.

That does sound frustrating. I don't know what I'd do if my computer forgot what my password was (and I couldn't find that original email from LabRat). Sounds like a nightmare.

Uh... er ... um... Let's just say 2012.

Yes, I have a problem when writing Lex. I never think I write him evil enough, so I end up cranking up his badness until I go... Ooops. It's the fine line of dancing between believability and still have him act within the bounds of canon Lex.

Why, thank you. Although, technically, THIS is alt-Clark.

"Love" is a good word. I'll accept that. Thank you. I try to keep it fresh enough that the readers know where in the canon story line the characters are, but how one slight deviation can have major consequences.

I love Cat. She really was underutilized on the show. Many of the early scenes she's in are taken straight from canon, so I believe that it's a believable motivation that she knew... or at least, suspected the truth about Clark. I needed Clark to have a friend who know that he could turn to as canon Clark would turn to the Kents for advice. Since I put Jonathan in a wheelchair, that made it difficult for the Kents (plus, they're more cash strapped than they are in canon) for them to jump on a plane and come to Metropolis. Star, I believe, showed up in Part 87 for a brief cameo. I'm glad you're enjoying Bobby Bigmouth. This is a different meeting than I'm sure happened in canon -- as they meet almost as equals, so their relationship is slightly different. My stories try to right some of the wrongs made on the show. The dual Hendersons and dual Jimmys (and Cat's crazy personality changes after Nightfall and disappearance at the end of S1) all fit into this category. I'm glad I haven't totally fallen off a cliff with characterization. /phew/
LOIS: Yes. Was this ever in doubt?

Well, thank you. 'Missing Lois' (my first soap opera and the current record holder on the Archives) clocked in at 109 parts. 'Another Lois' was only about 25. So, as Michael would say, a mere prologue for a VirginiaR story, really. I'm not sure if I'll be able to post this story in one chunk or if I'll divide it into thirds. Part 1 of Book 2 (i.e. Wrong Clark) currently is roughly 543K words (basically through Part 98-ish) but it's still being edited for Archives. Archived version of 'Missing Lois' clocked in at roughly 500K words, so it's pretty close. I'm sure this second section (The Investigation) won't... /EW sticks foot into mouth/... let's just not go there, shall we? /Fates do / Too late. I'm not even going to mention the yet unwritten Section 3, let alone Book 3. Thanks for popping in to comment.

I am sad that Clark does not know what is really going on. Also, the emoticons are not working for me.

Clark still things of Lois as acting too much like Lana.

I was hoping he would get a message from Lois.

At least someone still wants Clark there.

Jimmy really does not understand about Lex.

This Jimmy will never have grounds to claim he was not duped by Luthor.

This is a horrible thing to say.

This is a horrible conclusion to come to.

Not really though.

If that is the case, then why quit?

Not as far as Clark thinks though.

Jimmy knows how to rub things in.

I think that should be "was a rough".

Yeah, he is still sticking up for Lois.

He really should have given in and taken her.

At least they know what is up.

Now Clark has admitted to knowing quite a bit about this.

It is more that he never asked.

that Clark gave up. I also figured out where my gremlins went. So I will end this comment section, and hope the next one works better.

Fortunantly he is totally wrong about what is up with Lois.

And how will that happen with no evidence?

that is just close enough to the truth that Perry will not realize how wrong Clark is.

Oh no, Perry will think they actually spoke.

I think that should be "new owner that I put".

Perry will even think this means Clark realizes that Lois still loves him.

Clark really should ask Perry to elaborate and stop assume he understands what is happening.

But will Clark believe it?

Actually she has, just not told him that.

I think maybe this should be "down to the LexCorp Offices", or "down to LexCorp's offices".

I was so hoping it would be Clark.

Ah, yes. I can see how such a scene could be considered TMI.

‘Invited’?

His King’s dead, so he knows about how short life can be and the need to live it to the fullest.



So, all she had to do was spread her legs to get control of the Planet?



LOIS: I’d not even sacrifice myself to save Clark, so…

Thanks, as if I wasn’t sick enough already.

Now, she does sound like a hooker. Well, actually…

Michael

Someone asked when this story first began posting. I believe it was June of 2012. It is also not the longest running by time story still in theory posting. Although it posts more regularly then its competitors for this title.

John: And the gifts keep on coming.
Yes. Well, that's part of the problem from hiding the truth from the one you love. Canon Clark discovered this when he almost lost Lois to Dan.

But... but... but... how can it be John FDK without ??

Lana has had a strong influence over Clark's thinking about women.

Perry isn't the only person who wants Clark at the DP.

It's harder for your friends to empathize when you keep them out of the loop.

I always thought canon Jimmy's "claim" about not being duped wasn't really grounded in reality.

If you don't know that Lex is the bad guy, and she convinced him to save the DP, how is it horrible?

It's worse to think that Lois martyred herself for the DP than actually fell in love with Lex Luthor?
CLARK: Very funny.

CLARK: You want to add some curry powder to that salt you're rubbing in my wounds?

Just the bare bones.

Lois and Superman had this conversation right before Clark went undercover at Met Star. Then the day after he returned to the DP, they were held hostage and then he spent a week searching the country for nukes, only to return to her telling him that Luthor proposed. He hasn't had time to ask.

LOIS:



Thanks. Fixed.

So close, and yet so far away.

Being that he thinks he DOES understand, he'd feel he might look like a fool if he had to ask Perry spell it out for him.

LOIS: Care? Perry, I told you to tell Clark that I *love* him. What's with all this 'care' stuff?
PERRY: Do I look like Cupid? I don't send love messages. You want to tell him you love him, YOU tell him that you love him.

Not verbally.

Thanks. Fixed.

JIMBO: So, what's on the menu today?
LOIS: Surf and Turf. /fills his plate/
JIMBO: This looks like rice and beans.
LOIS: Oh, sorry. I was told it was 'Bait & Switch'.
/Okay, technically, it was meatloaf but that didn't work as well with the bait and switch joke./

Yes, I'm trying to make sure I don't drop below one post per week as I don't want to leave readers hanging too long. I'd much rather post more often, but RL demands that I spend time with my family, eat, and sleep on a daily basis. Believe you me, if I was more organized I probably could have condensed this story down some (or saved some of the juicier distraction story lines for stand alone stories), but, well, I'm not. Apologies. I'll get to the end someday, but no promises as to when /psst. the fates are listening and they've already jinxed me when I said I'd finish by the Summer of 2013 and that I didn't want it to be over 100 parts... and when I said it wouldn't go over 200 parts./ I promise it will get better before I hit you all over the head with a tree sized club at the end.

Darth Michael:
CLARK: I've read that scene and personally, I wouldn't want to be within hearing distance of it.
LOIS: Although, if either one of us were in that scene, wouldn't it have been much too much information?
RALPH: I wouldn't mind if you joined us?
LOIS: Really, NEVER going to happen.

Interesting theory. Perhaps. Alt-Perry lost his Lois, so that can't be said of him?

Then, again, Jimmy said the same thing about Lois. /I was trying to go with Jimmy's "Happy Days are Here Again" vibe from when Luthor announced he bought the DP in canon./

LOIS: Actually, I didn't even have to do that.

From Clark's POV, which would make it easier for him to sleep at night: a) Lois agreed to marry Lex because she loved him, or b) Lois agreed to marry Lex only to save the DP?

I don't know, she willingly married Baron Tempos to save Sir Charles.

Holding Lois's hand isn't the same type of skin-to-skin contact as giving her a massage.

Crazier things have happened.

It's not.

If you define 'hooker' as someone willing to trade sex for stuff, then 'yes'.
CHRISTINE: Hey!

CHRISTINE: Much better put. Thank you.

Just conversation.

CHRISTINE: We're *not* in a alley.



CHRISTINE: No!
IRS: Well, she doesn't have any extra income claimed on her taxes...



PERRY: Some of us *want* the DP to succeed!

CAT: Sounds like a Page 1 story to me.
LOIS: Ending in murder. Mine and Clark's.
CAT: Oh. That would be inconvenient. So, special edition then?

CLARK: What? 'Boss' is a common nickname.

Yes, one assumes that said time traveler would make an appearance earlier as opposed to later in said time line.

HENDERSON: So are metal bars. Just saying...

No wonder he likes Lois.

CLARK: She wouldn't even let ME ruffle those feathers.

Ooops?
LOIS: Good thing I didn't get a job offer from Starling City News, then, huh.

Posting tonight.

Got the perfect place for this /points at yonder/



Lex did the heavy lifting for her?

CLARK: /picks door number three/

That was Loisette. And I believe Lois explicitly stated that she wouldn’t in an earlier chapter. Or was that during FDK?

Oh, it’s just when he gets to rub her the right way, then?

Michael

You mean on the "Sue Boards"?

BOB BARKER: Clark Kent, you've won a fabulous date with Mayson Drake!

She does say it in the story at some point.



Oh? /checks outline/

CLARK: He can say THAT again.

Still miffed about preventing a conscious consummation. Well, a consummation where Clark’s fully conscious and able to remember later what he did to Lois. As opposed to when Clark’s out of it and Lois is the one able to remember what Clark did to her.

Michael

Yes, I know and I meant no offense to anyone else posting over there. But Ken's stories are posting both HERE and THERE. Sue has two stories with no GFIC versions posting over there at the moment, which is why I gave her full credit.

Possibly.
