Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: And the Truth Will Set You… (13/14)

What can I say, I’m a sucker for soul mates.

Also, in the 60’s cartoon series, “The New Adventures of Superman”, the opening credits include a scene of Superman flying up into an Orange sky.

Look here: Superman Cartoon Intro - Orange Sky

So see, they’ve been there. :p

Only one part left. This story should be finished before the weekend. (I have to get to work on my ficathon story.)

Comments here.

Yay! He's all better!!!

Yeah! Superman is back! And they have leads for the shooting.

For a second I got worried when Clark/Superman disappeared and left the hospital, but was relieved and glad that he was waiting for Lois at the Star.

Looking forward to the conclusion and how you'll wrap anything up!

I love it! I was mesmerized by the soulmate scene. L and K, indeed. And the compellingly poetic, lyrical quality of the description. For a moment I wondered if L and K might be the disembodied Lara and Jor-El, floating together in otherworldly dimensions with orange skies and black beaches forever... But then I remembered that Jor-El is hardly K.

Hope you return to the soulmate stuff later! I love the fact that L and K seem to know things that Lois and Clark do not.

The rest of the chapter was also very good, if slightly more down to Earth! Sammy the Mouse, indeed. I liked him a lot! Now let's see Lois, Clark, Sammy and Bill Henderson bring down Lex Luthor together!

Well, we are almost there. My plan is to post the final part later today.

Naturally I couldn’t wrap this up without finding a way for Clark to be an active participant, even though this is fundamentally a Lois story.

The soul mates intro was taken from a WIP I’ve had for over two years. There are actually a collection of stories I have in mind that are based on K and L who are the higher-lever spirits that, at this time and place, are Clark and Lois. The problem I have is that while I think some of the elements of these stories are interesting, I haven’t found the thread to make them engaging. So they remain unwritten. Except now, for one little peek.

EvelynC:
Thank you. As for anything to follow, well, see how you feel after the last part.


Joan:
Yes, they have leads. However, I have every confidence that Lois’s team, especially with the addition of Clark, would have gotten the goods anyway. It just might have taken a little longer.


DW:
I had originally planned this big scene of Lois and Clark in the hospital after he woke up. Then I realized that if he did wake up, and he was all healthy, he’d want to make sure his parents know as quickly as possible. So, he just got up and left. (Note to self : I guess it was a good thing that his suit had been patched and was in his room.)


Ann:
I’m so glad you enjoyed the otherworld soul mates scene. As I said above, that was something from another work. I thought it would be fun to include as a not-really-a-dream sequence. You are of course correct, K and L have access to FAR more information than Clark and Lois.


Thank you all so much for taking the time to write. Because of my own struggles and time constraints this past year, I have fallen off in providing feedback myself. Thant makes me appreciate even more those of you who make the time to do that.


Bob

It's (almost) been a fun ride, Bob!

Michael

PS: The 'almost', of course, refers to the 13, not the fun

Hi Michael:
Hopefully not too confused and not for very long. I was so nervous about this little part that I almost pulled it back out. IolantheAlias convinced me that it should stay. They met at the same place that Lois met him in Chapter 3. I'll have to make that more clear.

And for just an instant I caught my breath at the "almost"

Bob

Well, a bit of both I figured out the 'what' by the end of the L&K section but it took the FDK to figure out the 'why'.

Cliffhanger FDK. After all, why should we allow cliffhangers only in the stories

Michael

The what was the important part. As for the why...
