Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: The Pitfalls and Pleasantries of Kryptonian Multiplication 6/? - Marriages . . .

I FINALLY finished it!

Here's the FDK thread for Chapter Six !

YAY! More reason to procrastinate!!


[rant]Can someone just smack all the other Kryptonians upside the head? Please? This is something that frustrates me with all NK stories [my own included]. [sarcasm]Lord Kal-El[/sarcasm] wasn't raised on Krypton or New Krypton or any other Krypton. How does he still fall under their laws? Is it like saying 'okay you had a birth marriage which is legally binding in Canada but you left for whatever reason and went to the US to live when you were like 3 months old, but we're going to force you back to Canada to marry some chick you've never met'? Maybe Canada/US isn't a a good example because of the relatively similar cultures etc. But what about US/Canada and say Saudi Arabia or India or something? Especially if you were the birth wife. Okay - I get extradition for things like murder and stuff, but extradition for cheating on a birth wife you never knew about or something? Give me a freaking break.[/rant for now ]

Anyway - someone should smack those NKers upside the head is my point. Or get Lois some Kryptonite while Clark is at a Typhoon in Japan or something. It'll be all taken care of by the time he gets back.

I'm hoping the next part isn't so long in coming. I'm not liking Cash and the General guy, but I'm probably not supposed to .

More soon please .

Hehe, Carol. That rant of yours basically voices all of what Lois REALLY wants to say.

As for NK-ers in general . . . they haven't had to deal with any situation like the one with Clark before, so they're just applying their laws to him anyway. They don't see anything wrong with it, because they don't know any other way.

Oh, I hope it won't be so long in coming either. The only reason this part was so long in coming was because I took a year-long hiatus to focus on Harry Potter stuff between posting chapter five and starting to write chapter six. I am now fully back to FoLC-dom, so I hope to write chapter seven in a significantly smaller amount of time.

As for the other--all will reveal itself in time.

Thanks for the feedback!

Giggles... Oh, joy. I get to comment on someboday who takes longer to post parts than me. (Smile. I’m teasing you....)



Aww... That’s just so Lois.


Lois *is* not the only one that babbles...


As I’ve never read 1984, this made little sense to me, but I think I got the gist of it.


You tell ‘em Lois. Very nicely said, Darcy.


I like that.


I always took it from the show that Clark was the blood heir to the monarchy and Zara was the ruler consort, especially since he seemed to more take command aboard the ship than she did. It’s interesting to see a different take on it.


Just curious - why her 31st birthday?


Great part, Darcy. Your writing has improved. You’ve inspired to get off my butt and post another part of A New Hero.

Well, since this isn't the actual story, I can actually explain now. You're not the first person to ask about Minitrue--one of my betas did too.

Minitrue is short for "The Ministry of Truth," which in Orwell's world is actually in charge of spreading propaganda (lies). There is also Miniluv, or "The Ministry of Love," which is in charge of hate (the main character gets tortured in the Ministry of Love), and Miniplen, or "The Ministry of Plenty," which is in charge of the food and often makes people go hungry for no reason.

I had originally intended to write it that way, but then the part about having to get married didn't make sense. After all, there's usually nothing "wrong" with an unmarried king, at least until he's reigned for too long without an heir, right? Whereas, unmarried queens are anywhere from asked to commanded to marry before they can rule--Queen Elizabeth of England being an exception, I think. (British FoLCs, please correct me if I'm wrong!)

Honestly, because I wanted to make the situation seem a little more urgent--but not too much more. I figure Zara is a year or two younger than Clark, which would put her at about 29 or 30. Plus, it gives her an excuse to have ruled alone before then--because she wasn't required to have a consort.

Then again, women are usually told that it's dangerous to have children after the age of forty (or they were the last time I heard about it--which was before my brother was born 13 years ago, I think), so I figured it would be a "down to the wire"-type thing.

If a female Kryptonian ruler had not married before the first year of her third decade was over (less than ten years before forty), and therefore not yet produced any legitimate heirs, they would be required to marry post-haste, to get with the baby-making. Does that make sense?

Cool I would love to see Zara and Ching together

Ooh! Somebody new is reading my story. Yay!

Thanks for the FDK.

Love it. where is the rest of it?

Still in my head, unfortunately. I've thought many times about getting it down on the screen since my last chapter post, but every time I think about it, I'm always either at work, or doing something else at the time. Whenever I actually have the time to set some fanfic down, I usually don't remember that it's something I could be working on.
