Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Pride, Prejudice & Jimmy Choos [12/15]

Yep, believe it or not, it looks like this will all come to an end in three more chapters!

That said, what do you all think of this one?

Well, if the Martian Manhunter can't find her, no one can!

Clark's reaction was not surprising to me. Nor was Lois' reaction. But I am puzzled as to where she is now. I suspect that Chloe knows, but there's no way she's going to spill the beans.

I'm glad Lois and Chloe did the song, although it wasn't clear to me until later that they started out playing together. It's too bad that Lois cut short her concert, though. I think the crowd would have loved the Roscoe song.

I like the way you're working in different secondary characters in this alternate beginning. Loved the Wanda Detroit reveal! And I even like this Chloe (surprising to me since I actively dislike the 'Smallville' series). My only complaint is that you have given us only tiny glimpses of Ellen 'Ella' Lane. I'd like for Clark to take some time to dig up some old records of hers and play them. Maybe then he might realize what Lois had to go through as a child losing her mother. And I want Sam to talk to Lois about Ellen, too. Let him share some of his best memories with his daughter. I think it would help her come to terms with her musical legacy.

Glad you're back with this! Hope the rest is as top-notch as the last two parts. Maybe that forced layoff let the story simmer and mature in your mind. At any rate, it's excellent and I want the next chapter very soon. Please? Please with major ninth arpeggios on top?

So glad you're back with more! This is a fabulous alternate universe, and I cannot wait to find out what happens!

I've really loved the last posts! Thank you so much for bringing this one back to us.

I absolutely concur with suggestion to have Clark dig out some Ella Lane albums. He could listen to them with Martha and hear her memories too.

Terry beat me to it....



J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter! I love it!!!

I completely loved this, too:

Bobby Bigmouth as a maven in the music business! Isn't it lovely that Bobby Bigmouth always seems ot be an expert in fields that are related to Lois Lane?

Fantastic fic. Clark outs Lois the first chance he gets. What a twist! Fans have worried for so long that Lois would out Superman - hey, I remember a Lois Lane comic from the sixties where Lois found out about Superman's secret identity and then inadvertently revealed it by talking in her sleep - and then in your fic Clark outs Lois. I have to wonder if that has ever been done before. Interestingly, by outing Lois, Clark sort-of-outed himself, too - at least he attracted a lot of unwanted attention and turned himself into a household name by doing what he did. It will surely be harder for him to "hide in plain sight" as Superman after he pulled that little stunt with Lois.

I loved this, too:

Wow! What an insight on Martha's part! Yes, imagine growing up and being told that you had better watch out or people will dissect you like a frog. No wonder Clark would grow up needing to control everything. No wonder, too, that he would get quite self-centered and only think about his own an dhis family's safety. Other people's needs and wishes would have to take a back seat to this scared boy's needs.

Indeed, Clark needs to get out in the world. Martha was so right to send him off to college. As for what will happen to Clark and Lois, I wonder if you will really have time to fix things between them in only three more parts. Perhaps they are not meant to be together ever after in this particular fic?

Very much looking forward to how you will resolve this!

Hi Sonia

At first, I wondered if Lois fled back to Smallville. But apparently, no. Wonder where she really is. Probably not going to meet Clark in college.

And just three more parts

Poor Clark! I'd say he's definitely punishing himself enough.

It's great that things won't be too bad for Lois if she returns to the music business...but that doesn't seem to be what she intends. I haveta wonder if she's wanting to take journalism classes herself.

Great chapter. I love how you handled Martha.

I'll be sad that it's going to end soon, though. *sniff*

Thanks!

Believe me. I try to make Chloe likable for my own sanity bc I don't like her on the show. It's been fun sticking characters in here and there. Some of them just get a mention while others get to play. 'Tis the nature of secondary characters I guess.

Well, in that case, stay tuned...

Thanks for having me back

Hmmm. Good question. I don't know...

Probably not.

Would we say the same had it been Lois who outed Superman? Just wondering

Okay folks, next chapter comin' up. Thanks again for the comments.
