Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Pride, Prejudice & Jimmy Choos [1/?]

Okay, fair warning: I know I like to flip everything familiar on its ear, so I completely understand if what I'm serving is not everyone's cup of tea.

Thanks in advance for those who are willing to play!

Delightful start. And Tess Mercer? Too cute.

Okay, I'm hooked.

When you first mentioned Lola Dakota, I figured Lois Lane and when you started to describe her as a blonde partygirl/starlet, I was really confused. Poor Lois, how did she fall so deep

Micheal, hoping this is rock-bottom and a LnC-waff-fest from now on, but somehow I doubt it. :p

Love it! Love it! Love it!

A world where Lois is a rebellious Mylie Cyrus and Jimmy Olsen is Perez Hilton? BRILLIANT!

I was giggling through the whole thing, especially at lines like: And Consider that fire practically raging beneath your chair!

Wow, definitely different and interesting! (who is Tess Mercer?) Loved her confusion at Kansas.
So, obviously she has to meet Clark now - or rather, some version of Clark, right?
Can't wait to see where you are going with this.

ok, I just googled Tess Mercer - Lex's hand-picked successor on the Smallville series!
Oh well, now I know - my excuse is that I have not watched too many of the Smallville series, just bits and pieces.

Just realised the title - "Pride and Prejudice etc" - so is this going to have some story line from the book/movies? Ooh I hope so, this could be so good - PaP is a long time fav of mine.

Yes, and Tess Mercer, too! This mixing of universes is going to be lots of fun - looking forward to more.

Interesting!

I haven't seen the new Hannah Montana movie [7yo will want to though /sigh/] but it sounds a bit like what I've heard about that [nothing wrong with that of course ].

I'm in so get writing and get posting!

I find it ever harder to start reading a new LnC story these days, for whatever reason - staying committed to one I'm already interested in is another matter. Well, I think I'm going to commit myself to your story, Sonia. My best friend is the world's greatest Jane Austen fan, and I remember once buying a copy of Pride and Prejudice for her birthday, and she thanked me because both of the copies she already owned were falling apart because of too much reading!

And is Clark going to be Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy? It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Ah, Clark, you are in possession of a good set of superpowers at the very least, plus a generous endowment of charm and great looks. Surely you must be in want of a wife? A wife like Lois? Or Lola? But Lola-Lois is perhaps more like the flirty and flighty youngest Bennet sister, Lydia, than she is like the sensible older sister Elizabeth? Ah, but maybe she is just as proud?

Okay, you've got me hooked! Bring on the rest, Sonia!

This is a very interesting start! I doubt there's a much greater letdown in the world than expecting Hawaii and getting Kansas. Wow. I am intensely curious how this is going to play out, how this Lois came to be.

Does your muse respond to bribery?

Looking forward to more!

Lol, thanks for all the responses. I've been thinking a bit, and I feel it might help to 'splain some things.

I said this was AU but Elseworld may actually be a better classification. I tend to take a mixed bag of anything Superman related and stick the pieces together in different ways. You're gonna see some character names from all over the place (as Frame already noticed with Tess ) but I hope that doesn't scare you off--no previous knowledge is necessary. If the characters are important, you'll meet them accordingly.

I have a hard time describing my own writing, but I think I can say that I tend to do more character delving than plotty stuff, so you can expect the main dish of Lois and Clark to be served with a side of humor. 90% of my brain power is being dominated by things like dissertation prospectuses, SPSS, multiple regression analyses, presentations, final exams, and the like, so I wouldn't expect to get into too many complications over here. It should be a fun ride if anything.

Michael- I'm happy Lola=Lois wasn't spoiled early in the narrative. I was hoping that people would be kept guessing for a little while!

Sue- You're welcome to add kindling whenever you like! Those lines made me laugh too- I'm not as worried about my sense of humor now

Games- Don't worry about the Smallville knowledge. Even if you did watch, you'd only be able to identify the cameos. There will be veerrrry little correlation here. That goes for the comics, movies, and TV series as well.

Mosley- Yep, we're mixing (and I still have more stirring to do).

Carol- In case you do get sucked into taking DD7 to see Hannah, please know that you won't be spoiled here What you've seen in the trailer is about as far as we go premise wise...

Speaking of premise...

Ann- The title is more abstract than descriptive, methinks. It has more to do with the tone than with the actual content, so I don't guarantee any appearances by Mr. Darcy at this point.

Amber- Glad you're along for the ride! We'll peel away at the layers (or secret identities) as we go. Bribery? I think that just may work. Have your people call my people.

'Til we meet again!

Having been forcibly introduced to Miley/Hannah when the phenomenon first hit the small screen, I got most of what was going on the first time. Lois seems to be more Lindsay Lohan than Miley Cyrus at this point, but sending her to rehab in Kansas is almost cruel. She's been partying so hard she's forgotten how to be a real person. And you cannot blow off Good Morning America without paying a serious price for it.

I suspect that this will be a lighter story than most ("..can't get lei'd...") and that Clark will come in somewhere along the line to help Lois re-ground herself in reality. If so, please, please show us Lois trying to milk a dairy cow!

Looking for more. Oh, fantastic title, too! It certainly caught my eye.

Love the title! originally skipped past the post - but I'm glad I did that double take! very refreshing idea - it took me awhile to appreciate the fact that part of what I love most about LnC is Lnc - the characters and their interactions, not necessarily the whole story plot. So, me waits impatiently for more posts!

ps - you a psych phd candidate?

Other than the reference to Hannah Montana, I didn't really catch any of the other references (other than getting a Cat Grant visual for Tess). However, I'm thrilled that you're working on a new story.

Loved the tone and the direction this Elseworld seems to be taking (Kansas instead of Hawaii!? I totally sympathize with Lois) and can't wait to see how Clark figures into the story.

More sooner, kay?

Just a quick post - it's hilarious so far!

You've got the dissipated teen star down just right!

Post more soon.

Wow. Talk about putting characters in different places. Anyhow, I have heard about this story and decided it was time to read it.
