Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Aussie Rules (14/?)

I should again thank my wonderful BRs - Iolanthe, Deja Vu, and Lynn. Thanks for your suggestions, encouragement, and help with the American parts of the fic.

FDK goes here.

Thanks,

Corrina.

This was a really great part, except for the end - now I am all curious to know Lois' answer to Clark's question.

I suspected Lois was born in the US, but wasn't sure since a lot about this story is different (in a good way )

You really described Lois and her loneliness well - what happened to Lucy though - and how the club made her feel at home

Wow, I was surprised about Lois being born in the US. I did sort of wonder why she was so versed in American idiom. That was a beautiful story about how Lois found a home in footy.
Two burning questions are left after this part:
Lois' answer to Clark's question about Dan Scardino.
And Clark's decision on whether to tell Lois what he heard at the Social club when the two guys saw Lois.
Keep it coming!

Another fantastic part. I marvel at how you manage to fill each chapter with so much story, so much emotion, so much - well, so much, purely and simply. Each new part is an adventure to read.

Oh yes, I too want to know what Clark will do with the information that he overheard. And what will Lois tell him about her and Dan Scardino?

And why do I get the feeling that Ellen and Lucy may be dead? And if they aren't, how did they manage to drop off the face of the Earth so thoroughly that they apparently never contacted Lois after they went back to America?

Again, this is a fantastic story. I absolutely adore the way you portray Clark's love for Lois. And I love your portrayal of Lois and her inner sadness, too. I love your explanation for her footy obsession, too. It is because some people at Hawthorn became her family when her real family let her down.

Ah, this has been so much fun to read! I've definitely felt honored to help BR it.

I love your description of Lois's childhood-- I think it really makes sense and explains a lot.

And I really love this:
Something like that is always fun for the reader, heh heh.

And I agree with Ann-- I love how you portray Clark's feelings for Lois. It really makes me smile!

That was another heartfelt chapter... and with a cliffhanger like that I am anxiously awaiting the next part. Will it be soon?

Hi Corrina,

I’m not sure if it was this part or the previous, but somewhere over the last two parts, I’ve gotten hooked on this story.

The explanation of how the Hawthorn family became Lois’s family was great. It provides a great deal of insight into Lois’s character and explains a lot about why she is the person that she is.

I was taken completely by surprise that she was born in Detroit. Is she estranged from her family or are they simply not important in her life? I also have to wonder if she kept her US citizenship or is she a citizen of Australia.

The loose ends were great if frustrating.

Was there more hidden meaning in the look that passed between Lois and Ron? And what was this about? And of course I want to know her answer to the Scardino question!!

And I want to see how Clark does in footy.

Corrina, as has happened before, I am in awe at your skill in crafting a complex and compelling story.

I liked the links at the end. And in the video, you see the victorious players taking hold of a large silver trophy. Does that trophy have a name, like the Stanley Cup in hockey?

ahhhh, suspense!

Bob:
She can have both since she was born in the US.
My cousin's children have both because their parents have US citizenship because they were born here. The children were born in Australia, though.
Artemis

Great part.
I'm just wondering what became of Lucy, Ellen and Sam....

Can't wait to see how everything will come together for our favorite couple

Wow, I never suspected Lois could have been born in the U.S. I'm sensing a pattern here. And I think it reminds me of AMH, with their rapidly progressing contacting

Michael

DW Thanks for your FDK. I'm glad you liked Lois's backstory. In the show, I always felt they hinted that Lois was quite lonely before Clark came to Metropolis.

Artemis Remember that first day when Lois picked up Clark from the airport and gave him a rundown on Australian/American differences? She was speaking from experience.


Both of your questions will be answered.

Thanks!

Ann

Thank you. I am posting longer parts than I have been recently. No real reason - that's just how the fic worked out.

We will find out more about Lois's family.

I'm so glad this came through. For some people, footy is merely a sport. For many others, it is so much more than that.

Thanks for your comments, Ann.

Deja Vu Thanks for the FDK and also your beta reading. The fic is so often in Clark's head that it's been relatively easy to portray his feelings.

Elizabeth Thanks.

I hope to get 24 ready for my BRs tonight. Once that has been sent off, I'll have a look at 14 and get it ready to post ... so perhaps tonight, or tomorrow morning.

Bob

Thanks for sticking with the fic during the set up/footy explanations.

Thank you - that's what I was hoping for. The scenes at Glenferrie Oval were some of the first that I wrote (well over a year ago). The main issue then became where exactly in the story Lois starts to reveal some of her life to Clark. Before this she has talked about football, and Australia, and given him helpful information, but has said very, very little about herself.


Only that Ron heard Clark's accent and looked at Lois with a 'so he's from home' look. Of course, Clark didn't understand it because at that stage he didn't know Lois was born in the USA.

Thanks, Bob.

Iolanthe

That is the Premiership Cup - other than that it doesn't have a name - but in terms of results, it's the only thing that matters. The footage shows Carlton celebrating after the 1995 Grand Final - which will be mentioned later in the fic.

Sarah Yeah - but we're moving forward, bit by bit Thanks!

Seme Thanks. Some of what you said isn't such a big part of the fic - the other part is (not surprisingly) the most important bit.


Michael

Re the AMH comment - yeah a couple of times I have seen some similarities, which is a bit because the bare bones of this fic pre-dated AMH by at least six months.

I don't remember ever saying that Lois wanted to get pregnant

Thanks, Michael.
