Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - There's No Place Like Home - Part 28

So we're at the end of season two. Once again, if you want to figure this thing out, pay attention to what isn't in this story as much as you pay attention to what is in this story.

ML

Well, if you want me to know what's going on, just send me the whole thing .

Do we have an estimate on the total number of parts yet, btw?


*shudder* some more at Dan and Mayson *and more shudder*. That's almost as bad as the Lana and Clark smoochies I've been writing *shudder again*.

I don't like Clark getting that comfortable with Mayson. I don't think Lois is getting too comfortable with Dan. I have absolutely no freaking clue what Clark could have done to Ellen. Part of me thinks that they need to convince Jimmy and Perry of what's really happening and get them in on it with them because while Lois and Clark are nearly unstoppable [without that silly green stuff], the four of them together would *really* be a force to be reckoned with.

*sigh* Seriously - my inbox has a nice comfy spot waiting for this and it's gotta commas and semi-colons and all sorts of words to be inserted where needed and a nice old words home for those that need removing and pretty much anything else needed for editing.

So next part will be up... tonight right?

Carol [who thinks she may have managed to relinquish the cliffhanger crown back to ML]

Well, I don't know what WE might know. But I know exactly how many parts there will be. I've known that since I posted part one. As for whether or not I'm going to tell you how long this nightmare will last... Well, that's another story entirely

I really don't mind reading it unedited. If anything, it gives me an excuse to read it again once it's finished

Yeah. That.

And when are you going to tell us?!?!?

Carol [who does have a way of finding out roughly but wonders if ML remembers that ]

Well, I'm not sure. Either it will be when I post the last part (in the title line) or it will be when you read 'The End' at the bottom of the story.

It took me a moment, but you're right. It might take a fair amount of work, but you could indeed come up with a fair estimate.

In any event, I think the best way to read this story is to realize that it could end in the next chapter - or it could go on for a lot longer yet.

One thing I do promise is that it will end... eventually.

ML

/bows and gives back cliffhanger crown officially with that pronouncement.

And it wouldn't take *that* much work...

Carol

Well, I can definitely see a problem with Dan and Mayson. Their additudes about sex are more causal than Lois and Clark's ever were. (In either reality, I'd like to think.)


As for Jimmy, I've seen this coming for a while. As far as he's concerned, Lois has problems with her memory and "Kent" is taking advantage of the situation. He probably thinks he's protecting Lois by telling Perry.

Of course, I see the conquence of that being that Perry will either spilt them up, or they will be out of Planet resources.

Ahhh!

Keep it coming.

Sara

Please no more Mayson or Dan!

So Clark not only upset Perry but somehow did something to Ellen as well.


Hmmm, no clue...yet.

I have to say that this is my least preferred part. Too much Dan and Mayson.

<shudders>

<shudders>

<more shudders>

Huh?

Andreia

ML, sorry for being such a slacker on fdk, but I'm still reading, still enjoying and still impatiently waiting for each chapter.

Well, the only thing that stands out for me is there are fewer deaths in this version. Lex is still alive (I think) and Mayson is still alive. There's been some involvement of Bill Church, but maybe still less Intergang. Oh - and there was no Resplendent Man IIRC.

So, this mysterious event that ruined Clark's chances with Lois, Ellen and Perry was connected to a short, dumpy, greedy guy in tights that gained Clark's super-powers?

Nope, doesn't help me figure it out. More soon, please.

BJ

Great part ML.

Loved the Mayson & Clark stuff. He is so... uncomfortable with her. They are the perfect mismatch. *happy sigh* And no sex for months of dating. Yes, Mayson is exactly what Clark doesn't need

And Dan & Lois. Man, can you say brother and sister? And the sex-stuff was just .

You were right about calling the mob to extend Mayson's and Dan's contracts. On the other hand, it's just Mayson's third appearance and Dan's first. So they might still only get 4 episodes each

On to the fun stuff. I checked, and I'm happy I already noted the "best friend" thingy in part 26. And now Lois thinks she *loves* him. That and the proposal-dream suggest some big wacky mumbo-jumbo with the timeline.

As for what's not stated, I still know that Clark and Lois got caught soft of in 92 when they showed up in Starlabs. And Lois got arrested. And Mother started to drink because her daughter is an evil criminal.

And I hope you don't mind, ML, but since you did post this in the FDK for part one:
My money is on 54 parts

Michael

I'm thinking more in the 45 range. Because if she'd said 7 weeks it would be 49, but since she didn't...

And that means we're still halfway-ish...

Carol [who could still go get a more accurate fix but is taking the kids to the new Veggie premiere in about 5 minutes and may have company this evening - but ML is still welcome to send it to the nice cushy ML FIC folder]

Now, here's the question. How do I satisfy everyone? Too much Dan and Mayson. Not enough Dan and Mayson. (sigh)

But, tell the truth, haven't you ever wondered what might have happened if Mayson and Dan had been on the scene at the same time?

I know she did, and I would have said 45ish too, except for the fact that ML is a very evil person. And this means she wouldn't just hint at 42+ parts if it really were 42+ parts. So I'm saying more than 7 weeks as in 54 parts.

Michael

Ooh excellent! The more parts the better!...As long as we get a happy ending

I still think that if we ren't allowed to see the story unedited in full, then we should get at least one part a day. I can't deal with all this waiting to see if Clark or Lois or both of them, will end up turning to the dark side (Dan and Mayson).

I have been following this story very closely, looking for little clues. Now you said:

There was no "Tempus Fugitive." Am I on the right track?

I'm even going to go out on a limb and say that they didn't mess up their past. Somebody (Tempus) else did, or they are not where they think they are.

Keep 'em coming. I love a good mystery.

We have a very weird forum here. After all, where else in this world could being called evil actually sound like a complement

Define happy
