Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Aussie Rules (17/?)

This is for all those lovely FDKers who asked for more quickly.

Preview of 18 ...



Thanks,

Corrina.

WOW! Ask and you shall receive. Just great, Corinna.

Artemis

Awesome! You made my day! A zillion thank you's.


And now I am looking forward to the next part... where is Lois taking Clark, and how will the game go? Brilliant!

... oh, and another great teaser BTW.

Ahhh... Just so you know, I have been following this wonderful story. I've finally graduated from graduate school and can actually leave feedback. This was one of my reprieves from the nursing books! Thank you for the distraction when I needed one!

I was so sure that Lois would be at Clark's apartment when he got back from Metropolis, demanding answers. I am glad to know that Dan is fascinated with Mayson Bimbo Drake and will maybe stay in Metropolis so that Clark can stay in Australia with Lois. And then you tease us with Chapter 18... Bring it on!

~Sheila

There's nothing like a good book, Lois!

I love this story...I was so happy to see another part so quickly!

I just hope that teaser isn't the cliffhanger of part 18.

Amber

awwwwwwwwww sssssssssooooooooo cute.
I'm loving this side of Lois

thx for the insight of how Lois' feelings towards Clark

Can't wait to see what the surprise will be.....

This is indeed a lovely portrait of Lois. She isn't being bitchy at all. (And personally I thought that First Season Lois really was too bitchy. I don't think of Lois like that.)

This Lois is so much more delightful. She is very much in love with Clark, but she isn't angry with him. She is mystified by him, though, and probably a little bit irritated as well. I loved this aspect of investigative Lois:



I loved that she asked him about Mayson, too. This was delightful:

Aawwwwww!!!!!

Okay. So ask her for a date, then. Or get her to see the sequel to that Man from the Mountain movie with you. Then tell her.

First of all, she has given you hints that she want more than friendship with you. Why else would she have asked you so many questions about your feelings for Mayson Drake? And how much have you told her about your feelings for her?

If you want even friendship with her, you shouldn't ditch her the way you did with no explanation, when you had to fly off to be Superman the other day. Tell her!

And Corrina, I loved this:

I love that!

Very much looking forward to the next chapter!

Ann

Yeah, you posted! So happy that you followed my request for Saturday and Saturday morning your time follows my definition of "soon"!

Excellently written chapter especially with the insight to Lois' feelings re Clark.

Great teaser you posted - hope Lois' answer will be in the following part too! (since you have a habit of cutting the chapters just when it gets really interesting)

Looking very much forward to the next part and the actual date because Lois just cannot say no

A good comb and a dash of Old Spice should do it for ya Clark. How can Lois possibly resist?

Oh, I fully expect Hawk's teaser to be at the end of the next instalment since she has shown herself to be quite adept at cliffhangers.

I like how this Lois has a broken family past, and it seems like she has had problems with men in the past also, but she's not quite so defensive and stand offish. She's still friendly with the new guy and able to socially interact with her colleagues even if they can't be considered good friends.

I do think Clark is coming up against a problem with his dual identity with Lois. I don't know how long he can 'put off' a reasonable explanation for his behavior without causing serious damage to his relationship with Lois. Luckily, he doesn't know about Lois' own conflicted feelings for him or he might be more prone to 'hide' himself from her longer than logic suggests.

But then this is Clark, and he has never been very smart about how and to who he shares his secret.

I think that this 'game' the Clark is being forced into is going to be some sort of catalyst for many aspects of what will be between Lois and Clark; be it for good or not so good.

Tank (who expects Hawk to drag out the angst of misunderstanding between Lois and Clark just to aggrivate the gentle readers... a tried and true tradition of L&C fics)

Hi Corrina

And we all know, that Lois is to Clark all of the models put into a blender

run close to the story and do everything to get a first-hand look at bomb.

Ewww, nooo!

Oh, boy

Michael

Thanks for the FDK!

I don't have time for proper replies right now, but I would like to state that the preview for 18 happens about 1/2 of the way through the part.

However, it is a very long part, so I could cut it in two if you'd like ...

Corrina.

NO! Do not cut it in half!

~Sheila

awesome part - and more is always better, right?

Thanks, Artemis!

Elizabeth Where Lois is taking Clark is in 18. You'll have to wait for 19 to find out about the game.

Thanks for your FDK!

Sheila Thanks for letting me know you've been reading. I'm glad I was able to provide a distraction for you.

Interesting re Clark staying in Melbourne. I thought that if I *stole* him permanently, people might find that too different from canon. I've been surprised by how many have suggested that the way for Lois and Clark to be together is make Clark an Aussie!

Amber Thanks. I'm glad you liked the book analogy!

Seme

This also has surprised me. I thought people would protest her lack of fire. Although, I think she does still have fire, but it's more of a warm glow than a raging bushfire.

Thanks.

Ann See comments above. I realise that this Lois is not much like S1 Lois, but I didn't want this fic to be ansty like that. I'm glad you're enjoying a more easy going Lois.

Thanks for all your comments.

DW Thanks. I deliberately kept Lois's feelings vague for a long time. Now you've seen more from her POV - so hopefully some questions are getting answered.

SJH Lois will face the same decision she always faces - the attraction she feels for Clark vs not wanting to get hurt again. And, she will, eventually, make the right choice!

Tank Actually, IMO, the misunderstanding isn't going to be dragged out too much at all - certainly it will be sorted long before the end of the fic.

Much of what you say will be addressed - the question is 'how?'

Thanks.


Michael

You don't like Mayson much, do you Michael? That could be good - you won't protest when I ... with her!

Thanks, Michael.

Sheila I didn't cut it in half. It was tempting though ...

Sarah Thanks!

Corrina.

I was surprised to read your comment: I don't see any problem with it; we've had them living all over the place in other alternate stories. I think it's great fun and looking forward to how they work everything out, but know that even for a superhero, living/working on another continent from Lois is still going to be hard to manage. Can't wait to see how you have them deal with it either way.

What can I say? She does sound like she's Lois's love-child with Lex

Michael

Evelyn With so much of this fic different from canon, I was keen not to change anything that didn't need to be changed.

Clark Kent/Superman will be returned to Metropolis, relatively unharmed. I'm just borrowing him for a while!

Michael I thought Lois's character teetered right on the border of nastiness/get the story at *any* cost (particularly S1), but was saved from it because we saw her caring, softer side. In this fic, Mayson is Lois without any compassion or ethics. And that's never going to be pretty!

Corrina.

*cackles with glee*
