Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Missing Lois: Chapter 10 - Full Circle (12/12) (108/109)

Just down to the Epilogue.

I would also like to thank M.L. Thompson's story The Time Traveler\'s Wife for inspiring me to start writing fan fiction. I would like to thank Female Hawk (Corrina) for inspiring me with her story Trusting Me, Trusting You to go scarier with my alternative future.

Thank you all who have read and commented throughout. I hope my story – despite its heavy subject matter at times (and its length) – was still enjoyable, thought provoking, and entertaining.

All comments welcome.

Missing Lois - TOC

I can't believe it's almost finally over. I liked the way you used the journals to give Clark a different glimpse into what Lois endured in the alt-dimension.

Since this is practically the end of this epic, I feel I need to say more. I loved the idea of trying to explain where the magic baby came from. At the very begining, I was surprised you spent so much time in the alt-dimension. Yet you did a great job with creating the similarities and differences with her real world. I especially liked the way you developed Alt-Clark and Alt-Lois. It's difficult to work with such similar characters but you did an excellent job.

I also liked that the story didn't end with Lois' return to her world. That you took the time to deal with her adjustment and even introduced new storylines - the super baby in Smallville and Batman. Clark reading Lois' notebook in this chapter was especially emotionally satisfying.

Excellent job!

(What's next??)

I'm still wowed by how well you handled all the versions of Lois.

Wow. Try reading all 109 parts on a Blackberry!! Yikes. But in less than a week, totally obsessed, I worked my way thru this epic and LOVED every chapter. I agree that Time Traveler's wife was also awesome. I just love Alt-Clark finding Alt-Lois stories. They are my favorite.

When will the epilogue be posted??? I can't wait!!

Thanks for penning such a great read, Virginia.

Joan: Wow! Thanks! You're the greatest! I know it felt like alt-world dragged on -- I don't know 5 chapters too long --but I'm not as good at cutting scenes as adding them. It doesn't seem as long without the day inbetween parts while reading.

Well, we were heading into another season and had to work on that spin-off show.

That's good to hear.

IolantheAlias: Thank you. It's amazing how confusing things aren't until they come together and are. You know? Then you go, "Ooops! What was I thinking?" But then I'd gone too far to go back. Trying to make it LESS confusing (especially with the Lois / Lucy switch in Chapters 5-6) will be especially fun for the Archives.

Chris: One week! On a Blackberry! Please tell me your eyes aren't crossed due to my story! Glad you enjoyed it. The Epilogue will be posted tonight before I go to bed. There were a few loose strings I hadn't tied. (Actually I discovered another one recently, but it will have to wait for the sequel... it was a very thin string. ) And I wanted to show how life was finally back to normal... well, normal for these folks.

I have to say that I didn't always agree with some of Lois' actions, but I've been with this story since the beginning and have throughly enjoyed the ride.

This was quite an undertaking and I salute your dedication to such an epic achievement.

Well done... and thank you.

Tank (who admits he is curious to see the further adventures of altSuperman and Ultrawoman)

Yay. I'm going to keep checking tonite for that epilogue. I am looking forward to the Alt-Universe sequel as well. I promised recently to finish my own Alt-Clark and Alt-Lois epic (The Girl's Not Attractive) and so I better get writing!! Like you, I brought Batman into it (as well as Chloe from Smallville). Hats off to you for finishing this "War and Peace" of LC Fanfic .

Reading it on the Blackberry was my "going green" contribution to the environment!!!!

Actually, it's closer to midnight PST than EST.

Your story sounds intreguing, so please don't stop writing! I find Alt-Clark/Alt-Superman easier to write than canon Clark/Superman because... well, he's canon! Alt-Clark, we can bend the rules with.

Thank you, Tank. I haven't always agreed with Lois choices either. But sometimes characters go where THEY want to go instead of where you lead them. (And we all know how HEAD STRONG Lois can be.)

For cutting alt-Lois's hair? FINALLY!

Right now it's in the nebulous stage (unwritten and disorganized in my head), but I know where I want to go with it. We do need to get those crazy alts married off, now don't we? (And Luthor's still alive over there so he might pop up.) And naively they'll probably want to invite the in-laws and that crazy twin brother of his, and his family.

Oh boy.

I don’t know. Even with all the spouts of how golden she is, she does sound ticked off. Like in the way where she can pull out that old slight every once in a blue moon and make him feel guilty.

Yep. Epilogue will be dealt with tomorrow. Right under the deadline On an unrelated subject. Do you have any idea how hard it is to pick *one* quote and *one* excerpt for the quiz?

Michael

About 1/10th as hard as picking 10 stories to pick 10 quotes from for one quiz?

You really *do* want me to pick a line with Clark dumping Lois in some sort of manner for each quote and excerpt, don't you? Or, alternatively, for Lois getting mad at him. We could play it this way with the stories available. Good luck recognizing them, though

Michael

PS:

Argh! <<pulling out my hair>> Don't make me not know my own quotes or excerpts!
