Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Aussie Rules (32/?)

Preview of 33

FDK goes here.

Thanks,

Corrina.

Awesome interview! Great job!

Wow! Love how they handled Linda and Mayson, of course particularly how Lois "handled" them.

As Jimmy Olsen has been known to say on L&C say: "Smooth!" And of course fun seeing his reaction to Ultra Woman.

And great peek at the next installment, too. Thanks

Hi Corrina,

I loved the interview. My favorite part was Lois's handling of this: The absolute truth but told in a situation that clearly suggests a very different incident. Wonderful!!!
And this: In fact this whole section was absolutely great.

I'm sure Mayson noticed that he never answered the Green K question, but it went as well as can be expected.

I still see trouble ahead. I hope it won't be too bad.
Bob

Corrina, can you believe that when I was going to comment on this part, I saw that Bob had written almost exactly what I wanted to write?

Great interview, wonderful! Please read Bob's FDK and pretend it's mine. I just want to add two things:

I almost spluttered my coffee when I read that!!!

This is scary, since Mayson seems totally deranged. On the other hand, this Lois is so wonderfully cool and composed and competent, too.

Looking forward to more!

Ann

delightful part. Well done interview.

Excellently done with the interview! Lois handled them exactly like Lois would and Mayson .... seemed like Mayson, just more evil as noted already.

Great preview too!

I loved this part:
"Surely the quality of the answers is, to some degree, the responsibility of the interviewer," Clark said mildly.

Another favorite:
With a dismissive scowl at Lois, Mayson turned back to Clark and struck like a viper. "What effect does the green rock have on you?"

He and Lois had discussed this at length. "According to a story you wrote, you've already asked me that question. And received my response."

"Would you like to comment on that interview?"

"No," Clark said. "Would you?"

I'm going to duplicate some other's comments.
I loved how Clark preempted the situation and the chivalrous way he seated Lois first. Way to take charge, Clark!
Great description of their attitude. At least Linda seemed more rational.
Good, succinct explanation.
Awesome imagery!!!

He was particularly mortified in front of Mayson, I think, because she had chased after him so mercilessly.
This was a really great part. I can't wait for more.

I think Bobbart beat us all on the quoting. The interview was amazing and I'll be sure to re-read the whole chapter this weeking, but Lois's response when Mayson asks about the consumation... that was beyond perfect.

A little out of topic -just a little- but thought you'd also like to know: I was just with a friend who's going to expend about 7 weeks in Australia. She was quite excited with the trip and had just gotten a travel guide. She showed me the map and started pointing out the places she means to visit and all the while I'm looking intently at the map... looking for all the spots that have come up in your story (Geelong was the first I spotted, about 2 seconds in). I'm sure she thought I was incredibly interested on her trip... (which I'm not saying I wasn't, but...)

More, more, more, Corrina!!!!

That's Superman right there. And you show how Mayson will never, ever understand him.

A fun instalment, but one that shows me that neither Mayson, nor Linda are exactly what you'd call big time reporters. They both seem more suited for a paper like the Dirt Digger.

There also seems little editorial control over these women. I know that Perry has been sick, and Mayson has a relative on the board, but it seems that this Perry has no real control over his newsroom. Maybe it's time that he considers retirement. I can't see him wanting to continue to work under those conditions.

Just out of curiousity. I'm assuming that this Lois has the classic shoulder length bob. I'm not sure that it was ever mentioned anywhere, but just from actions described in the course of the story, that's the impression I got. So my question is... How does Lois gell back so much hair?

When Ultrawoman appeared on the series Lois had already adopted the shorter style, so it was easy to slick back her do to effect a different look. If this is not the case, I would think it quite difficult to put that much goo in her hair and that it would get all over the back of her neck.

Just wonderin'

Tank (who cuts through all the trivia like A plot and B plot to get to the real important stuff)

Hey, Tank, speaking of hair gel...

This is totally unrelated to "Aussie Rules", but your comments brought to mind this hilarious little bit from Corrina's previous fic, "The Press Conference" , where Clark calls a press conference to explain those compromising photos of Lois and Superman in flagrante delicto at the Chateau Roberge:

In no particular order. Well, no order that exists outside my funky brain







Probably thinks all sorts of derogatory terms about Lois. Traitor to the Human race and Freak Lover probably being among the more civilized ones.

Do we still have those in stock? Hmm apparently so.

Oh boy. And I bet the Playboy would pay even more for a complete ‘interview’ of Lois.
I can see the headlines. “Superman lives in sin. Girlfriend says, ‘He has no intention of making it legitimate’.”
Now, that’s an interesting point. Now that the cat is out of the bag, won’t the more simple-minded reporters conclude that he has never married her but just keeps her around as his girlfriend. After all, there won’t be a wedding for Superman and Ultra Woman. Or will there? And if Lois married Clark, would they then be bigamists?

This picture is going to be a killer. But it will be wasted with the jumble of words Mayson is going to provide.

Corrina, I think you handled the interview wonderfully. And now I’m looking forward to part 33. And what a preview that is.

Michael

I think that probably that picture of Ultra Woman & Superman will be worth a thousand words, so people won't need to read Mayson's article.

Hi everyone,

The plan is to be back here in 3-4 hours to post 33. If I answer this FDK properly, you might not get 33 today, so for now, I'll just say thanks to you all for reading and commenting.

A small warning - in 33, I'm going to deviate from canon. Some may like the change, others may not. Hopefully, I've set it up well enough that it won't seem unreasonable.

Thanks,

Corrina.

Late again ...

Thanks, Laura.

Evelyn I'm so glad you enjoyed the interview. When previous parts build up to an event, it's great when it doesn't disappoint.

Bob

I enjoyed that bit, too.

Trouble? Well, maybe ... but nothing Lois and Clark can't handle.

Thanks, Bob.

Ann Yeah, Lois had it all under control nicely. Thanks for your FDK.

Thanks, Framework.

DW Thanks. It's great that Lois seemed in character.

Kyla Welcome! Thanks for leaving FDK.

Lois and Clark spent a long time strategising and had answers for most of the questions. Also, Mayson and Linda were less effective than they should have been because of the competition between them.

Artemis Thanks. I tried to create the impression of the team (LnC) being in control, partly because they were prepared, but also because they were working together.

Cristina Thanks! I hope your friend has a wonderful time in Oz.

Iolanthe True. They just think very differently.

Tank Lois's hair. Even though the dates don't match, I'm assuming Lois's hair is the short bob from the first season. She could tie it back and, because it's short, hide most of it under the back of the mask.

Michael

The whole section was very funny Michael. (So when are you going to write 'Aussie Rules on Krypton'?)

Your other FDK is very interesting ... uhm.

Thanks, Michael.

That's good point, Evelyn. I haven't actually stated it, but you will see the reaction of the people.


Thanks, everyone.

Corrina.

Glad you got a laugh out of it But an Australian Heart Awakened homage? /shoos Muse away before she gets any ideas/
