I would imagine it works the same way as over here: you need to have a dual-band or tri-band phone and then to activate 'roaming;' your phone network company will have an agreement with a company in the country you're visiting. You can then make and receive calls; you'll be charged at the rates of the second company, and also be charged separately by your own company for use of the 'roaming' facility.

You mean somebody besides me has actually read these stories? Schmitz wrote the first science fiction story I ever read -- A Telzey story ("Glory Day") that was the cover story in the Science Fiction magazine, Analog. Schmitz wrote very strong female characters, a rarity in science fiction in the 60s and 70s. Lois Lane would have been right at home in his stories. Ace published some of his stories about twenty years ago; I bought all of those books, but my only source for most of the Schmitz stories is still my Dad's collection of Analog and Astounding magazines. (When I first signed on the Web, I tried to use "Telzey" as an ID, but it was already taken. I went to "Gaziel" (another Schmitz character from "The Telzey Toy"), but the problem with "Gaziel" was the same as with "Genevieve" -- no one can spell it.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Genevieve The World Wide Web has made it possible for anyone to find in five hours what a competent librarian can find in five minutes. :-) ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 12:54:01 +0000 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Wendy Richards Subject: Re: OT: A few questions In-Reply-To: <38CC1577@webmail.kenyon.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE On Tue, 21 Mar 2000 22:34:05 -0500 kubitc=20 wrote: >=20 > Actually, I searched for "minimum wage" on Yahoo and found=20 > an article that said minimum wage is $5.15, and the House=20 > of Representatives has approved raising it to $6.15 over 2=20 > years.

Actually, it *is* very hard (speaking from experience...) to stop parents from trying to take over the wedding arrangements - especially when they're paying for all or part of it... :( Weddings are quite traditional things in Ireland, for example, and *all* the extended family gets invited. John (my now-husband) has almost no extended family and just didn't want to have all these people he barely knew invited to our big day, especially as it seemed to him that they got priority over his friends. The menu was a problem as well, he being vegetarian and my parents expecting carnivorous dishes.... So to *that* extent the plot of Ellen running away with the arrangements and L&C completely switching off was amusing and true to life. But then Ellen brings in this wedding co-ordinator, and that's what really made me go 'huh???' I mean, what normal people would use a *wedding co-ordinator*? I found it a bizarre enough notion in that Steve Martin film, but couldn't believe it in NoS. And *doves*? *Swiss bellringers*?? Come on - what were the scriptwriters thinking? It stopped being funny and true-to-life, and simply became farcical.

What Laurie described is just a gathering of people/companies who supply various services (such as invitations, catering, dresses, entertainment or music, etc) all put together in one place for people to walk around and look at what's available when they're planning their event. My husband and I recently went to one of these for inspirations about our daughter's upcoming Bat Mitzvah. We did have a number of inspirations (although none from any of the booths - all of them turned us off and we ended up deciding we weren't into most of the offerings, but that's neither here nor there).

Not all wedding coordinators are farsical like Beverly or in "Father of the Bride" (the Steve Martin movie you mentioned).

Bell ringers, I'm not sure what that means exactly -- but many churches have bell ringing during their services, and I think it's very beautiful. If that's what Ellen was talking about, music during the ceremony, it wouldn't have to be outrageous.

The actual title is 'Event Planner' I tie up all the details concerning catering, rentals, flowers, reservations, music etc. for any sort of large event. Mostly this service is used by large corporations who can't spare a secretary to do it, or rich people. Most Event Coordinators work in connection with either the location the event will be held at, or one of the services being provided. (I'm a caterer also.) PLEASE REALIZE!!

I read Frank Herbert's Dune, Anne McCaffrey's Dragonflight, and Heinlein's Citizen of the Galaxy, all serialized, all in Analog. It was fascinating later, looking at the differences between that first serialized version, and the final version in the printed book. (Yes, I was obsessive even then. Had to read each and every story *carefully*, just like today I go over each and every episode on video-tape.) After my Dad died, my sister got the all the Analogs. :-( It's amazing the kindred spirits one finds in FoLCdom. I'd thought I was probably the only person who'd ever read those stories, but to find so many others here on the list.... And Pam Jernigan liked Elsyth Thane *almost* as much as I did as a teenager.

I always took Clark's attitude about the wedding as sarcasim and never gave it another thought. 'Soul Mates' to me is just plain goofy, but I can put up with it. 'AKA Sup' is the ep that I absolutely cannot stand to the point that it embarrasses me (for Jimmy) to watch it. I don't even like to see Penny used in fanfic because she comes across (to me) as such a shallow idiot in the episode. I was reading this thread and kept wondering why so many people didn't like 'Family Hour' until I finally remembered what the A plot is supposed to be. I always forget the Brainiac part.

It's one of my favorites, actually! Maybe I'm dumb enough not to get the creeps about the A-plot (which a-plot anyway?), but I still crack up laughing about every silly, little joke in it (Clark as "Sir Charles" and Clark as "The Lone Rider") and furthermore I just *love* all the kissing and passion between Lois and Clark. "Cracking up" reminds me of another scene that has me LOL *every* time I watch it, a fact that makes my hubby seriously doubting my state of mind. Does anybody else think the scene where the Prankster throws Supie over the balcony in "The return of the Prankster" is extremely funny? Every time someone asks me, why I love L&C so much, I mention the humor and then I secretly think of that particular scene and the scene where Clark wakes up and crashes the alarm-clock in "Pheromone my lovely" all the while I'm talking about "witty dialogues" aloud. Don't want to admit that I fall for such shallow silly jokes, but yeah, I guess I do :-) "Never on Sunday" never was an ep that I particularly liked or disliked. I thought the wedding preparations were funny but not hysterical. I think Clark being sarcastic to me *was* funny, but it also was pretty much out of character IMO. It should have been Lois who made sniding comments and Clark who was trying to find a compromize. The A-plot was boring, but when did I ever notice an A-plot anyway :-) My most hated ep is "Toy story". I just watched it once so far and it really depressed me. Clark looked sulking and bored to death and Lois looked as if she hadn't slept for weeks and Teri and Dean brought tears to my eyes not through her acting, but the obvious lack of enthusiasm. One look at the ep and it was plain to see that there was no hope for a continuation of the series anymore and honestly, if I had had to watch them in more eps like that, even *I* would have given up on the series. "Toy story" is the top of the eps I don't like, all others do at least have *something* likeable in them, usually a waffy moment between Lois and Clark. Generally I can say, I don't watch much first season or the first half of second season anymore, but I still love watching third season (except the wedding arc) and fourth season. My most watched eps by far are the third season (WHALTTA, OP, JSN, VD, HIWTHI) and then the Krypton arc and parts of fourth season (TAGD, BGDF, LOTF, BE, STG, S, BY, TPVLL, DLW, SLV, AKAS) take care Nicole -- AKA CKgroupie on IRC NKWolke@eifel-net.net Are you always searching for news about Dean Cain?

Hi TerriAnn! No offence *at all* meant to you or any other event co-ordinators! But your final sentence reinforces my point completely: they're used by large corporations or rich people. Now, were we ever given the impression that Lois, or Clark, or Sam and/or Ellen Lane, were *rich*? Lois and Clark are just ordinary professional employees - and journalists, not highly-paid lawyers or doctors. Okay, Sam's a doctor, but it was always unclear - or muddled - as to exactly what he did. So I find Ellen's use of a wedding co-ordinator, and the type of things Beverley was suggesting, totally unrealistic and over the top.

(Flying them in from Switzerland, however ... > ;)) I thought it referred to hand-bells, rather than ringing of church bells (which is lovely and doesn't require visiting Swiss experts ). There is a form of bell-ringing which consists of about a dozen people each holding two hand-bells (all of varying sizes and therefore tones) - bells are chimed one by one in order to play a tune. This is what I assumed Ellen/Beverley meant.

I just hope the plan makes sense. :) btw I've removed the silicone from Silicon Valley. Here's another part -- Feedback is always appreciated. Don't worry if it's critical --this is a story in progress and it's helpful to know where I should revise a bit. Carol ----------- Connections, part 20 Clark and Lois flew, in silence, for only a short distance before Clark changed direction and headed west, drifting downward until they landed on an isolated strip of beach, north of San Francisco. Lois looked at him, not speaking, listening to the rolling rumble of crashing breakers unfurling white foam on the sand. "I need a few minutes to think about this, Lois." He paced away from her, walking along the beach, his red cape snapping in the wind which swept in from the Pacific Ocean. Lois looked around, selected a large flat rock that looked not too uncomfortable and sat down, drawing her knees up to her chin, partly to keep warm in the face of the wind. She watched him as he walked farther away from her, thinking how isolated he looked, red cape billowing, a vivid contrast to the greyness of the ocean. Oblivious to his surroundings, Clark walked briskly along the beach, trying to bring some order to the images flashing through his mind. Most of it made sense -- some of it didn't. He wanted to see the hologram again. What did his father really look like? Did he have brown hair or was it greying? The globe wasn't a fake. His mother was beautiful. He needed to know more. Why was Krypton destroyed? Jess's apartment was nice -- interesting that she and Lois should be friends. Why no mention of Zara? He would have to figure out how to "turn the globe on." Why had his father sounded so impersonal, almost cold? Zara had lied to him. He hated the way Lois wouldn't look at him when he flew with her. Stopping, he turned around and spotted her perched on her rock, looking out to sea. In a blur, he was back in front of her. "What do *you* think, Lois? She looked up at him, speaking slowly, "Honestly, Clark, I don't know. You must have so many questions about what happened." She moved over slightly to give him room to sit beside her. "Did the hologram say anything different from what Zara told you?" "I saw a hologram on board their ship, too -- stored on the vessel they said brought me to Earth. Lois, that vessel was different from the one Bureau 39 has, and the man who was my father was different." He turned to look at the woman beside him as he said this. "So Zara faked the hologram. I take it this different dad said you were married to Zara." "Well, yes." "Ah hah!" "Ah hah, what?" "Ah hah, you can't trust Zara." "I don't think it's that simple." Lois turned her head away, her resentment at how he was prepared to trust this Zara with a Z resurfacing. "Was anything else different?" "The whole content of the message. This one," he reached into Lois's bag and pulled out the globe, holding it in his hand, "told us about Krypton. The one I saw earlier, didn't do that -- he talked about the marriage to Zara." "Why would Zara want to convince you that you're married? Did she think it would make you more willing to go with her to New Krypton?" Then a new thought crossed her mind. "Did you refuse at first to go with them, Clark?" He hesitated before speaking. "Not at first." She looked at him then. "What changed your mind?" "I met you." His words were tight, as if they gave him little pleasure. But nevertheless Lois felt something give way inside her as he spoke. So she had meant something to him after all. "Oh." She paused and hugged her knees closer. "So they decided they needed something to provide a bit more pressure. Smart to play on your vulnerability about your past." "That's pretty cynical." She ignored him. "Which does raise the question -- why are they so desperate to take you back?" "I told you -- they think I can help against Lord Nor." "Lord Nor?" "Yeah -- he's the leader who's opposing them back on New Krypton." "They must be losing if they'd resort to this kind of deception, Clark." As Lois finished speaking, the globe which Clark still held in his hand began to vibrate, pulsing vivid light while it slowly rose, as it had in Jess's apartment, into the air in front of them. Again the austere figure of Jor El appeared. "This is the second of five messages," his solemn voice intoned. The hologram showed Jor El in the same laboratory, explaining, as he checked instruments, how he was hoping to get the vessel built in time. Lara was there too, bending over a dark eyed baby wrapped in a blue blanket and happily oblivious to the solemn words of his father but not to the gentle smiles and touches of his mother. Clark was transfixed, absorbing everything his father said and hoping to see again the image of his mother but she did not reappear. She had not spoken but had always been passively at her husband's side or tending her child. Him! He was that child, Clark thought in wonder. His mother was so beautiful. As he watched the hologram fade, vanishing into the cool air, Clark felt warmed by this second vision, confirmation that whatever he was, he was normal in the most profound way. "Clark, that was you!" Lois's tone was quietly excited. She shifted and saw the faraway look still there in his eyes. "You never knew did you? Until now, until Zara came, and now this." Her hand sketched an arc in the air to encompass all that they'd just seen. "No, I never knew." His voice was so soft she barely heard him. Then he added, "Not really." "It must have been so hard, not knowing or understanding." She spoke slowly, the thought occurring to her for the first time. Hesitantly, remembering that their relationship had altered, she lifted her hand to touch him. He came back to her then from the distant star where his mind had been with the ghosts of his mother and his father. He saw the luminous darkness of her eyes and instinctively raised his hand to touch her cheek, tracing his thumb lightly along her cheekbone, memorizing its contour, before pulling back. "You must've felt so alone." Somehow she wanted to go back in time to protect him, to let him know that she would care for him. "Not when I was a kid, Lois." He smiled as a brief happy memory lit his eyes. "I had a great childhood. No one could have had better parents than my Mom and Dad." Lois grinned, pulled back from her sentimentality by the flash of his smile. She sighed. "I gotta tell you, Clark, this has been the most amazing week." "Tell me about it! But at least now I know for sure I wasn't "hatched" or "grown" in a petri dish or a test tube. Maybe some mad scientist experimenting with genetic alteration and in vitro fertilization, or an embryo bombarded with steroids." Lois look surprised. "What? You're being overly dramatic, Clark." He chuckled, relieved to be able to laugh after the tension of the last few hours. Especially relieved to laugh with her. Lately, nothing had been what he'd thought; maybe he shouldn't be surprised if that extended to Lois Lane as well. As he was thinking this, he heard her speak again, commenting on the hologram. "Your father's very dignified, isn't he? Odd that your mother didn't say anything." "Yeah. I'd say things were a little different on Krypton than they are here." She rose to her feet, restless. "Well, if Zara is any indication, I'd say a lot different," Lois's tone was acid. "By the way, Clark, notice no mention of cousin Zara yet." "Thank you, Lois, for pointing that out. I had noticed." "So maybe we should get back to Metropolis." Her tone conveyed her reluctance; what she really wanted to do was to walk on this beach with him for awhile. He sighed. "Right. Back to Zara's apartment." He handed her the globe which had obediently returned to his hand, and she slipped it back in her bag. "Clark, I don't think that's such a good idea. You're walking right into Zara's trap." His face set stubbornly. "I promised I'd go back. I owe Zara the chance to explain about the ship." "No you don't. You don't owe her anything. She misled you, Clark." "She had a reason, Lois, and she's my cousin." "Oh, like that's the truth, too." "Lois, there's something very wrong there. I can feel it sometimes from her. She's very afraid of something and I can't leave her to face whatever it is alone." They stared at each other briefly, not speaking, again aware of the gulf between them. He picked her up and they flew back to Metropolis, each preoccupied with thoughts of the future. ***** They landed in the dark shadows of an alley just around the corner from the Apollo Hotel. It was now about eight o'clock in the evening. Clark spun out of the uniform and Lois looked at him sadly for a moment, reminded by his street clothing of what it was she would lose when he went to New Krypton, aware that this might be the last time she would ever see him. She felt her heart lurch and suddenly she felt sick to her stomach. "So .." she took a deep breath, hoping it would settle her stomach. "Be careful, Clark. Maybe if you're ever in this galaxy again..." Her words trailed off; she couldn't finish her thought so instead she walked away, around the dumpster which blocked most of the alley from view, and out to the street. Clark caught up with her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Wait, Lois. I won't go without seeing you again." Whatever it was that she had been involved in with Trask seemed much less important now than the fact that he was afraid of never seeing her again. Of being forever alone. Lois stopped. "Be careful of them, Clark. How do you know that once you're at Zara's apartment, they'll let you go?" "It would have easy to restrain me when I was on the mother ship, but they didn't." "Unless you take into account, of course, the fake marriage," Lois reminded him, as she resumed walking toward her hotel. "Now they don't have that." "I'll be OK, Lois. And I will come back." "You're crazy, Clark, you know that?" But she said it without passion, resigned to the fact that here was one more guy who'd kept secrets from her and who wasn't going to stay. "You're going to get involved in some galactic version of the War of the Roses." Then her feelings betrayed her as she demanded, "What has that kind of ridiculous dynastic struggle got to do with anything that you value?" "It's my family, Lois; it's different." Lois rolled her eyes and raised her hands in a gesture that was both dismissive and fatalistic. "Then go." "Will you be here when I get back?" His voice was barely more than a whisper; she had disappeared before; he had no doubt she could do it again. "I'll always be here when you get back." The words came out unbidden and she was shocked. She raised her eyes to his, meeting them honestly, a promise to him. Then she turned and quickly ran up the steps of her hotel as her eyes welled with tears she did not want him to see. ***** By the time Lois got up to her one room apartment, her mood had changed. Waiting five minutes for the slowest elevator in Metropolis can have that effect on you. She slammed her door, angry at herself for what she now considered to be her state of pure unadulterated wallowing over some guy who'd she known for just about one week. she chided herself. Then she remembered her brief talk with Trask as they'd left the coffee shop this afternoon. He'd been hostile, not his usual semi-gracious self. Why had he changed his attitude? She thought back for a minute -- was it FBI who had been trailing her and Clark while they were in Riverside? But it couldn't be anything to do with her day with Clark which had been pretty routine. Besides Trask knew of, and had approved, her working at the Planet again. Then Lois remembered something which Trask had uttered just before he'd spotted Clark and the others. He'd said, "It's time we talked about that tape, Lane." She'd forgotten that comment, overwhelmed by the events which had followed. So what had Trask found? Quickly she piled into her jacket and grabbed her bag, running down the back stairwell when the elevator proved too slow in coming to her floor. It was well after working hours, but Lois suspected there would still be a few people doing their bit at Bureau 39. In fact she suspected, given what had happened this afternoon, the place would be a hot bed of activity. This worried her. Trask's fears of Superman had been proven all too real this afternoon -- what would be his next move? She had to find that out, too. Then, as she jogged across the small lobby and out the front door, the horrible thought struck her that Trask might have plans to kill Superman, and the others too. She ran the distance to the next intersection where she could catch a cab more quickly to take her to Bureau 39. ***** end, part 20 ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 07:22:27 EST Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: "Ann E.

I mean she doesn't blow up at her mother for taking all the decisions concerning *her* life, and that's not the Lois we're used to. Out of character too was the fact that she believed in what Star told her about the voodoo and the way to fight it. No, I don't see her believing for one second that her ring would change something. Trying to help Clark to understand his fear, okay. But using magic to do it? I'm not so sure about that. That's what bothered me the most in this ep. As for the wedding co-ordinator, I could see Ellen doing that, but like Wendy mentioned, this is problably very expensive and I'm not sure she could afford it. I admit I was kind of bothered by Clark's sacastic "hot dogs" comment, too. On the most important day in his life, he'd probably want everything to be perfect, no offense to the hot dogs Actually, the comparison with Steve Martin's movie was even more evident here since the ep was titled "Mother of the bride" As for bell ringers, I've seen one a few years ago, and I remember he had a huge chariot with lots of bells on it and pulled on some strings to ring them. I don't know if it's what Ellen and Beverley were refering to. So NoS is one of my least favorite eps... like Family Hour, the "Argh", Toy Story, Aka Superman, the Vixen arc, The Wedding Destroyer, Ghost, Stop the Presses (the fight was a good idea but I didn't find it convincing here) and others that I can't remember at the moment. Okay, I admit they're almost all in fourth season, but almost all of my faves are in first and especially second season :) I think the series lost a lot of its humor when Lois learnt the secret. Of course she couldn't go on not knowing for ever, but IMHO the highest point in the series was when Lois and Clark were together before she knew, i.e. in eps like Lucky Leon, Tempus Fugitive, WWW, ATAI and all the eps of this period. There were still some interesting concepts in the fourth season, things that couldn't have happened before Lois knew the secret... like Sex, Lies and Videotapes, for example, although the way they ended the A plot was a bit too easy, IMO. Okay now Soulmates... it's always been one of my favorite eps (hey, I didn't say that I didn't like all the fourth season ), because it's a parody IMHO. The concept of the soul tracer was a bit farfetched, okay, but I took that as another trait of parody in the ep. I don't remember noticing the accents but I saw it in English only once and it's been some time ago. But I love the humor in it. Clark's comment "Give me my green tights", for example, has me ROTFL each time, probably because he says it so seriously. Also, lots of comments by Tempus. I wonder how the ep would have been if it had been Lex instead of Tempus (I've heard that it was supposed to be that way but John Shea couldn't make it b/c of other engagements)... probably a lot more dramatic than funny, but you never know.

Isn't this covered in the episode? Lois asks who's paying for the wedding co-ordinator and Ellen's expansive plans and Ellen says her father as he has several years of abandonment to pay for. Course as a failed inventor, Sam probably has less chance of paying than Lois and Clark, but somehow I don't think that was stopping Ellen any at the time. ;) I think she was working on the theory of presenting him with the bill and leaving him to sort out the details later. > I admit I was kind of bothered by Clark's sacastic "hot dogs" comment, too. > On the most important day in his life, he'd probably want everything to be > perfect, no offense to the hot dogs Isn't it odd how we see things differently? Hey, there's a quote in there. Almost. I never for one moment thought that Clark was actually serious about having hot dogs at the wedding. I always saw his comment as a metaphor for his desire to have things downscaled a little and more simple than the expensive and outrageous details Ellen was happily planning over in the corner.

It wasn't necessary in this case, but I think funny moments can sometimes partially rescue a flailing a- or b-plot. << Of course she couldn't go on not knowing for ever, but IMHO the highest point in the series was when Lois and Clark were together before she knew, i.e. in eps like Lucky Leon, Tempus Fugitive, WWW, ATAI and all the eps of this period.>> Interesting that you mention TF, because Lois did know The Secret in much of this episode. The four eps you mentioned are also favorites of mine and I do enjoy many episodes from before Lois knew The Secret, but these eps tend to frustrate me. I get impatient with Clark keeping The Secret from Lois, and get frustrated with his silly excuses. I guess I felt symathy for Lois at this point, with a friend, later boyfriend, who ran off at a moment's notice. She deserved better. Even when the eps were originally aired I thought it was awfully convenient that every time he and Lois try to talk about their relationship, Clark hears a call for help.

It's set in the alternate universe and is really quite confusing at first read, although it's definitely worth a second look (and a third and fourth!). Malcontents from the future -- the future that no longer exists, since Clark has donned the Superman suit -- come back in time to try and save *their* existence. Various time travelling forces meet and clash in the Congo, including Lois, Clark, the bad guys, the time cops, and Tempus, who does indeed save Lois from a quick death (apparently in order to give her a slow one later).

Okay, maybe she'd be able to do that... but I'm not so sure about it, actually. Ellen is bitter about Sam, but not to the point of making him broke. She probably knows what he can afford, and what he can't. I don't know how much they'd have to pay for a wedding co-ordinator... and moreover a *famous* wedding co-ordinator like this Beverley woman, but this has to be over his average monthly income, IMHO. I don't know, I can't see Ellen being that bad to Sam. After all, she seemed to feel better about him after HIWTHI, didn't she? (as better as Ellen can feel about Sam, I admit ) > Isn't it odd how we see things differently? Hey, there's a quote in there. > Almost. I never for one moment thought that Clark was actually serious > about having hot dogs at the wedding. I always saw his comment as a metaphor > for his desire to have things downscaled a little and more simple than the > expensive and outrageous details Ellen was happily planning over in the > corner. I don't know, I never considered his comment as ironic, what I understood from this line was that he wanted something simple, like he had mentioned before they met Beverley and her "over-the-head-projects" , okay, I understand that from him... but the hot dogs comments were a bit too sarcastic if it was written as irony. Almost bitter, IMHO. I've always found that Clark's irony and humor was a great thing, but this particular line... well, I didn't see it as irony, to be honnest, so it was a bit much. If I considered it as irony, Clark would almost sound rude in the dubbed version. Yvonne wrote: [Re: Soulmates] > A parody of what, exactly? Historical dramas? Back to the Future? A parody of the show in itself. Like when the Lone Rider spins out of habit, or when he says: " Sounds like a job for... for the Lone Rider". Things like that. All the secret identity things, too. And Tempus' great line about how he was fooled by a mask on Sir Charles' face (I can't remember the exact words), and Lois replying "Join the club!"... the line I mentioned earlier, too ("Give me my green tights")... all that classified as a parody of the show in itself, IMHO. It's also a parody of old myths like Robin Hood... but the main thing that got me hooked to it was the parody of the show itself. TF was more like a parody of Back to the Future. Christy wrote: > Interesting that you mention TF, because Lois did know The Secret in much of > this episode. Good point, she didn't know it for a good part of this ep. But what I meant is that I found the revelation much more interesting in TF than in WHALTTA... okay, the scene near the fountain was nice, but what I mean is that I much prefered Lois' reaction and Clark's attempt at an explanation in TF. I mean there's a difference between *knowing* the secret and *learning* it in the ep: if we hadn't gone back to square one (or almost ) at the end of TF, I'd probably have said the same thing about the next eps, i.e. that the show lost something. Clark's great talent for finding *believable* excuses, among other things > Even when the eps were originally aired I thought it was > awfully convenient that every time he and Lois try to talk about their > relationship, Clark hears a call for help. Strange that there aren't (as many) > emergencies when he's doing other things. LOL! Amazing, isn't it? :) But then it wouldn't have been as interesting. Lois' frustration in the end of second 2 reinforce her insecurities and make her even more vulnerable, IMHO. I don't know why, but I get the feeling this is how she realized she really cared for Clark as more than a friend. I mean that she loved him. Of course, she'd realized that she cared for him a lot in TOGOM, but from this point, the fact that Clark's constant disappearing act bothers her may have helped her to realize that she was in love with him.

Lots of us don't read the stories on line. When we copy them down to print them off we often compress and manipulate the text so that we can get more on a page. This is done through a global editing of the text. This sometimes generates an extra Paragraph marker or two and we delete these. I found it very confusing to have one scene slammed into the next. I realize this is my own fault but I figure if I did it so did someone else. Most authors use *** or ***************** Elisabeth uses *~* and I use ~*~ I love Pam's ~~#@@@@#~~ but you can use whatever you want. Now for the good stuff.

It is a very original idea. In fact my wife and I have been planning a similar concept only having Lois and/or Clark poping from one parallel world trying to get back/be found. I am a big Elseworld and Alt world fan and plan to nominate this story for K2K1 (Kerths 2001). The violence was not as bad as I thought it would be, but then again I am a guy :) I especially liked the Alt-Superman just taking it in stride that the Superman he was talking to was our Superman and not one that he must have met at another time. (this could get confusing) You did a marvelous job of keeping the Kal-Els distinguished from each other. Though I found one thing in the very beginning confusing. The line: >he recognized the stitching on the suit from the same tailor as his own.< I had and still have no clue what you meant by including this line. Does it mean that Lord Kal-El and Lex Luthor had the same tailor? (Sorry for being a nitpicker.) I loved how you dealt with the Lois issue. At first I was really ticked off, but I figured that a ringer was involved someplace. And I love the bringing back of Ultra Woman. A finer Heroine you cannot find! Okay I am done gushing now.

Just wanted to say that the whole wedding planner thing was beyond me. Here (in Israel), at least in my immediate surrounding the couple plan their own wedding while the parents pay for their own guest plus half of the couple's friends. The couple choose the venue the catering service etc. while taking under consideration the kind of guests (more down to earth or more sophisticated) and the budget limitations. Appropriately it takes about 6 months to plan a wedding while studying and/or working. 2. About Cell phone in other countries: I work in a large company that gives ppl. cellphones and sends them abroad. Whenever these ppl. go abroad we need to notify our Cell phone company the details of their trip (which country/ies they are going to visit, at which dates). the travelers either pick a card for the cell phone at the airport or we receive an alternate number to call (via an international operator) the cell phone. There is also an option to forward calls (on our company's dime) or not. I'm going back to lurkdom now!

Not to mention the costly mistakes most people make in planning a wedding themselves. The bell ringers would be much cheaper than a standard band (and nicer.) The doves are another matter entirely. The whole scene to me is done just to show how over the top Ellen can be.

If I remember right, they lost punctuation and quote marks, dropped words off the end of sentences and ran most of the paragraphs together. All I could figure was I did something to them passing them back and forth between my PC at work and my Mac at home so many times even though I'd kept them as .txt files. I messed with them for a while and tried to fix it, but nothing worked and I kind of got fed up and quit. But it's really slow at work right now, so I'll see what I can do with it.

That's fair enough - perhaps it might have been less confusing to post a message to the list recommending the story and telling people why you liked it and where it could be found.

Thank you very much :-) It's a strange (but nice) feeling to be getting compliments on stuff I'd almost forgot about (g) Always Hang Up Your Clothes has been re-typed and submitted to the Archive as of about an hour ago. The other story was called Cookies, it was a silly little piece about Lois' first attempt at baking after getting married. It was only posted to this list and not put up anywhere because of that formatting problem. I think it was posted in late '97, maybe early '98. I have it on disk around here somewhere and will be looking for it this weekend so I can re-type and submit it to the Archive. I suppose once I find it I could post it here again too. Does the list allow re-posting?

Lois and >Clark are just ordinary professional employees - >and journalists, not highly-paid lawyers or doctors. Okay, >Sam's a doctor, but it was always unclear - or muddled - as >to exactly what he did. Well, Sam started out as a "brilliant surgeon" (when Ellen was his faithful nurse), and then became a famous sports doctor (Clark, when he realized that Lois's dad was Sam Lane, was shocked -- Clark had obviously heard of Dr Sam Lane as it related to sports medicine, but had no idea that Lois's dad was * the* Sam Lane.) And we all know how overpaid sports stars are these days, not to mention the fact that Sam's dealings with boxing may have strayed on the far side of ethical. Sam Lane, during in the first season, was assumedly forced out of sports medicine (or any respectible medical field) after the world learned of his cyborg/human studies. When we see him 2 1/2 years later (mid 3rd season), he is almost a characture himself -- hawking weird products in TV infomercials. Was he making good money at it? One could argue that he was. I've always seen Lois as growing up fairly well off. Her father had a lot of money; he just didn't have time for her. The "poor little rich girl". In HoL, doesn't Lois say that her mother is flying in from Paris? And in Season's Greedings, it's a similar excuse. The first Ellen, I pictured as a business woman in her own right, jaunting around the globe. The third season portrayal altered significantly (as did Sam's), but we still got the "I'm going to soak him for all he's worth" attitude that could imply that the Lanes had money. > So I find Ellen's use of a wedding >co-ordinator, and the type of things Beverley was >suggesting, totally unrealistic and over the top. Ellen also tells Lois, when Lois asks "isn't this all very expensive?", that "your father will pay for everything -- he owes us." (paraphrased) This is exactly what Ellen is supposed to be doing -- being completely unrealistic and over the top. It's partly her trying to have a socialite wedding for her daughter, and partly trying to soak it to her ex-husband out of revenge for the pain he caused by walking out. As to whether it was funny or not (personally, I didn't find those scenes overly enjoyable) is a matter of taste. But as to the "realism" of the scene, I don't have any problem with what the script writers had Ellen doing.

Many people do consider it to be one of the best episodes not just of the fourth season (along with BY) but of the entire show's run. I remember that Tim Minear came on IRC with us after that episode aired, wanting to get some feedback on how the episode went over. I told him in a private message that I considered the scene with Lois and Clark under the table (the "chopsticks" scene) to be not just one of the best scenes of the show, but arguably one of the best comedic scenes I'd ever seen on television. Yes, extremely high praise, but I meant it. The timing and the= scripting both were absolutely brilliant. Interestingly, Tim told me that scene was filmed at 4 in the morning, after everyone had been up all day/night. Everyone was punchy from exhausion, and= that's what helped make the scene click. :) Kathy kathybrown91@home.com ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 06:28:16 -0800 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: James Tull Subject: OT:Creativity Strikes Comments: To: FoLC_ST_L MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I created a VERRYYY LONG wav file that combines dialog, singing and music from the series.

To keep my mind away from the Kerth I decided to work on my non L&C related story again and I have a few more questions for the American FoLCs. I understand there's a game in the USA that is called "Truth or Dare" or something like that. As far as I know, one player can ask (personal?) questions in that game and the other player has to answer them. Is that true? My questions regarding this game are: 1. In which situations of the game can the player ask those questions 2. Does the other player has to answer them honestly? Can he do something else instead? 3. Does the player who ask the questions make them up or does he have to ask given question? Would a question like "Most embarrassing situation you could ever imagine to be in?" or "What would you never do?" be appropriate in that game? I would very much appreciate your help, guys :-) Could you email me privately since I don't want to bother the list with non L&C-related mails?

I've gotten locked up three times on my end tonight and even though I'll keep trying, I did get in the other day so there is hope, I'd like to get a message through if I don't succeed. In the unlikely event that I'll win, in the company I'm in I'd be very surprised believe me, please forward my thanks to those who voted for me, with special thanks to Kathy B., Karen, Wendy and Dawn all of whom gave me badly needed guidance and support, and to all of the readers, since it's all of our collective efforts which keep L&C alive for us. In the far more likely event that one of my fellow nominees wins please give them my congradulations, since there isn't one of my fellows whose I don't consider 'must read' I can honestly say that I'm happy for whoever gets the prize, afterall, what better compliment to be paid then to be nominated with those whoose work you admire.

I'm still picking myself up off the floor... but I want to say a very big THANK YOU to everyone who voted for me this year. I am absolutely stunned, completely dumbfounded and amazed, and still don't believe it. I really think a number of other stories/writers deserved the awards more than I did... but I really, *really* appreciate everyone's kindness. And I want to say how much I appreciate this community here. Without the support and encouragement you all have given me over the past couple of years, I wouldn't be writing, wouldn't have written any of the stories which won this year. This is a fantastic community, and this list is a wonderful place to be. Rumour has it someone referred to it elsewhere as a 'stinking list' - I don't know who, but surely not anyone who really knows the list members. You are a fantastic group of people, and THANK YOU again.

Being a LnC fanfic writer and just aspiring writer all together...I found the storyline to be weak. I read somewhere that someone liked NA better then Best Men. I have to disagree. I liked Best Men better then NA. The story line was stronger. Although one of my favorite scenes was the sex scene and the really neat outfits Dean wears in this movie. They costumer was smart to dress him in black! WOW does he light up a screen in that color!

The 2000 L&C Fanfic Kerth Awards were a rousing success! We had 76 people join us for the ceremony and the chat. What a fun time! The IRC gods were not with us, and we encountered not one, not two, but THREE major netsplits. But we muddled through, and everyone seemed to have a great time. :) For those of you who missed it, I am posting a copy of the Ceremony log. I have edited it to remove the sounds and the comings and goings. What you have left is some wonderful acceptance speeches by our winners, and equally great introductions by our presenters. (And some fun banter from the three co-emcees. :)) Oh, and let's not forget those hilarious commercials, done in true L&C style. The chat log is currently being edited and will be placed on Erin's Kerth page when she gets a chance. This log will also go on the Kerth page. So here we go ... ______________ Session Start: Sat Mar 25 17:34:39 2000 *** Now talking in #kerthawards *** KathyB sets mode: +m *** KathyB changes topic to 'Welcome to the 3rd Annual Kerth Awards!! This channel is moderated. Please join us on #kerthchat to socialize. ' Hello & welcome to the third annual Kerth Awards, where we try to repay a little of the enjoyment that fantastic authors have given us all year long. 1999 was a banner year for fanfic, with over 300 stories published. There were so many good stories, in fact, that we weren't able to recognize them all, even in our nominee list. But the best and most popular are gathered here, and we're about to find out who won what! We also have a new feature this year ... during the evening, we'll be playing short excerpts from all the "Best Overall Story" nominees, to remind us of what made them great. And now, let's get this show started! Our first category is Best Comedy, and here to say a few words about it is Alexis :) Before I present the award for Best Comedy, [ Very Long Lag ... not a good way to start out the evening! ] Now, Alexis, please don't tell us about your political causes Just wear the little colored ribbon Okay, apparently Alexis is lagged... Since Alexis seems to be a bit lagged, I'l step in with the nominations for Best Comedy: The Costume by Tank Wilson Duo Inferno by Bella Lessons by Pam Jernigan Oh, Mann! by Karen Ward and A Secret Identity by Tank Wilson And the winner is: Lessons by Pam Jernigan Congrats, Pam :) Oh, man, you guys are nuts... there's no way this was the best one!!! But thank you! I never in a million years thought I'd win this one... I'm amazed... all I can say is, thank you ... and thanks to all the awesome writers involved in Season 6, who gave me the idea :) [ Major netsplit ] We're going to commercial while we wait for more people to come back. :) Sit tight, everyone! [ L&C Wavs played ] Sorry for those technical difficulties ... I get someone forgot to pay off the IRC gods! LOL Kathy The next category to be presented is Best Vignette/Short Story and to present the nominees and winner, we have Anita! Take it away Anita! Well, Anita seems to have gone the way of the lag monster ... So I'll jump in The nominees for Best Vignette/Short Story are ... Au Revoir and Not Goodbye by Chris Carr The Child Who Fell From the Sky by Chris Mulder Dance of the Seven Veils by Erin Klingler Navigating Denial by Zoomway and A Time to Adjust by Lara Blasingame And the winner is .... Navigating Denial by Zoomway !!!!! Zoom seems to be lagged as well ... this is not a good night for the Kerth awards! okay, let's all leave and come back for this tomorrow LOL, we might have better luck! everyone hang with us here a second thanks everyone, sorry for the lag and delay I don't know how long ago this was even announced because I was about 7 minutes behind everyone I thank everyone, really, especially the person who found this story I'd forgotten about thanks again, I'll go now Thank you Zoomway! and congrats ... Moving right along , the next category will be presented by someone who amazingly isn't lagged! Here, to present the award for Best Waffy Story, is Chris P. One of my favorite things about Lois and Clark was the way the writers and actors could take a scene and put so much emotion into it, generating a feeling you don't often get from TV or the movies. The word that was coined for this feeling was Waffy. (Warm and fuzzy) I really admire the fanfic writers who can also generate that feeling with their words. The nominees for Best Waffy Story are: The Best Bargain/Counting the Ways by Chris Carr Blanket Friends by Susan VanCott La Recherche Du Dayzs Perdu by Menolly Through the Years by Erin Klingler and A True Partnership by Kathy Brown And the winner is...... A True Partnership by Kathy Brown Yay!! Congrats, Kathy!!!! Thank you everyone! I'm very honored to be receiving this award, and especially honored that no one else has split. Thanks for everyone who read the story and gave me such great feedback. I love being a FoLC. :) So do we all, Kathy :) Our next category is Best Dramatic story... And here to present the award, is Kara :) The stories in the Best Dramatic category are those that touch us in some soul-altering way. These are the stories that provide us with a glimpse into the real and everyday world of Lois and Clark- not just peeks onto the superficial surface. I offer my congratulations to all of the nominees, who are(in no particular order) : Caped Fear by Labrat Heliophobia by Yvonne Connell Nightmare on Hyperion Avenue by Karen Ward Recognition: The Only Way by C. C. Malo and Redemption by Irene Dutchak May I have the envelope please? thanks. the winner is: Caped Fear by LabRat congrats :) Yay, LabRat! Doc Klein would be so proud :) um, Labby's not here? Not unless she's invisible :) you're up, Helene :) okay, then, I know she'd like to thank everyone who voted for her and she'd probably want to thank her editors and betareaders especially Kath Roden and Becky Bain and we wish she'd be here to say that herself thanks for her, everyone :) Hopefully she'll get back with us soon... Okay, it's time now for our first commercial break... Our first regularly scheduled commericial break. If you're going to Netsplit, I suppose this would be the time to do it... but we'd rather not On our way out, let's enjoy our first "Best Overall" excerpt.... coincidentally enough, from "Caped Fear" by LabRat! Wendy was kind enough to help me out with these :) and we've got a short bit from the climactic bridge scene... >>> He tightened his grip...if she didn't stop she was going to take them over... ...over the edge. ...and it was then that Clark saw the bright flashing exit sign blink on in his head. The way out. What Lois needed, what they both needed, was Superman. It was clear to him now that she was never going to be persuaded to come down voluntarily and he couldn't force her safely off the bridge without a lot of questions being asked as to how he managed to manhandle a furiously struggling, panic-stricken woman down to the ground without taking them both over the edge. Superman was the only way out. He turned his head, glancing back across his shoulder and down into the thick, choppy darkness of the water, far below. And for Superman to appear on the scene, Clark had to vanish. In an instant, he found his escape route. <<< **** commercial time! :-) Stay Tuned, we'll be Right Back (god willing and the net doesn't split!) Do you find that you can use a little help around the top-secret lair? Do you even have a lair yet? Have you just "fired" your incompetent second-in-command? Or maybe you just need a little persuasive back-up? . Whatever your need, Thugor's Discount Henchmen can help! . We have everything from knee-breakers to heavy-hitting bruisers to sniveling yes-men to capable, organized, and loyal second-in-commands!

(I know that commercial's a bit different, but Thugor made me an offer I couldn't refuse ;) Okay, now we have another "Best Overall" excerpt :) This one is from Fear of Discovery 2: Nowhere to Hide, by Yvonne Connell. Here, we find the alt-world Superman struggling in the wake of a personal tragedy. >>> He froze at the sight in front of him. Backing away, he whispered, "I'm sorry." He turned away and pushed his way blindly through the knot of rescue workers. "Superman, what's the problem?" asked one of them. A concerned and puzzled face looked up at him as he turned numbly. "I'm sorry," he repeated. "I can't...can't do this. I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore." He took off into the sky, ignoring the shouts from below. "Superman! Where are you going? We still need you!" He flew fast, desperately fast, trying to exorcise the image burned onto his memory. The blond hair, long and curly, only partly obscuring the gash in her forehead and the blood running down one side of her face. The eyes as her face turned towards him, not dead and lifeless like before, but frightened and pleading. The dark stains on the car seat, on her clothes. He flew aimlessly into the thin atmosphere above the clouds, circling the earth, criss-crossing the skies, flying into darkness and oblivion. <<< Thank you, everyone ... I'm glad to see more people are back from the split Hopefuly we've solved our problem now It turns out the payment to the IRC gods was sent by Roadway ... and it was just found in the same warehouse as the stolen Oscar statues ;) Now, to present our next category, Best Revelation, is ErinFoLC. Take it away, Erin. Hello everyone, and welcome to the ceremony! Before I present my award, I would like to thank everyone that came here tonight to show their support to the writers. You guys (and girls) are the best! Now, on to the award for Best Revelation. A Revelation FanFic is when Lois, or any other character, finds out Clark's secret - he's Superman! The nominees are - A Conscious Choice by Wendy Richards Dark Revelation by Tank Wilson It Happened One (Super) Night by Wendy Richards Sugar & Spice by LabRat To Wake From a Dream by Mobile Richard Ultramatum by Zoomway and the winner is.. It Happened One (Super) Night by Wendy Richards * Wendymr has just fainted uh.... Congrats Wendy :-) sorry everyone, I never expected this.... I'm stunned! Thanks to everyone who voted for me and thanks ESPECIALLY to Sheila H and Nancy M who edited this for me * Wendymr goes to cool down! Congrats Wendy! And now, to present our next category, Best Episode Adaptation, is Melisma. Mel? Lois and Clark are skilled at asking these sorts of "what if" questions - that's what makes them Kerth Award winning investigative journalists. They often uncover huge stories by thinking along unusual lines. But Lois and Clark are not alone in this. Here tonight we have fanfic authors who are just as skilled at weaving tales based on a simple twist of fate that alters the events of an episode a little bit. And we readers get to enjoy finding out what the repercussions of that change are. The number of stories eligible to be nominated in the category of Best Episode Adaptation this year was very impressive. But you, the readers, made a tough call and you chose the following five stories: Blind Leading the Blind, by Pam Jernigan Forever Obsessed, by Judith Tylke The Healing Time, by Wendy Richards The Mirror Crack'd, by Hazel Shaken Not Stirred, by Irene Dutchak and So . . . That's What You've Been Hiding by Chris Carr A very tough call indeed! These are all excellent stories - how can you choose one over the other? But we did, so without any more babbling... may i have the envelope please? And the winner is... The Healing Time by Wendy Richards congratulations wendy!!!!! YAY!!! Gee, we could have just kept her voiced you're joking Didn't want to give it away ;) sorry, didn't know whether I was voiced Uhhh... I totally expected Chris to win this, and I'm still slack-jawed Recount! thanks to everyone who voted for me and also thanks to all the readers on Zoom's message boards * KathyB picks up Wendy's jaw and hands it back to her Just kidding, Wendy You are all fantastic! Thank you! Can I faint now? * KathyB wheels out a stretcher. Go for it! :) LOL Now fortunately for Wendy, she is not nominated in the next category, so she can recover Next up, to present the award for Best Round Robin, is Molly. Take it away, Molly. These five nominees are most definitely examples of how FOLCs can come together and create something super. And the nominees for Best Round Robin are . . . Forever Young by German L&C Team Fully Functional by IRC team Heartache Tonight by German L&C Team Love Me Tender by IRC team and Myxed Signals by IRC team!! And the winner is: Heartache Tonight, by German L&C Team!! Go, Nicky! :) This is so amazing! We're completey stunned and I hardly know what to say! We're very honored to accept the award for this category. Writing Round Robins is a very special and gratifying experience of Folcdom and we love it! Thanks to everyone who voted for us and a special thank you to our editors! and now *I'm* going to faint Thank you, Nicole, and congrats to your entire team. ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 23:59:38 -0600 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Kathy Brown Subject: 2000 Kerths Ceremony Log (edited) Part 2/3 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" and to present our final award of this segment (but not of the night!) is our very own co-Kerth-MC (and my co-S6 coordinator!), Pam Jernigan! Thanks, Kathy! :) When Lois & Clark went off the air after four seasons, we fans refused to let it die. Several "fifth" seasons sprang up ... and one of them even spawned a sixth season It was an abbreviated season, with only 14 episodes... but what they lacked in quantity, they more than made up in quality I felt very fortunate to be part of it! :) So, the nominees for Best Season 6 episode are: Fatal Attraction by Kathy Brown Hypergirl by Crystal Wimmer Labyrinth/Preparations/Stronger Than Me Alone by Phil Atcliffe Movers and Shakers by Nancy Merckle and Kathy Brown and Turn Around/Walk in My Shoes/Mirror, Mirror by Sheila Harper and the winner is.... Turn Around/Walk in My Shoes/Mirror, Mirror by Sheila Harper !!!!! Congrats Sheila!! * sheilah totters onto the stage Ummm...I thought Phil had this one locked up, so I'm pretty speechless. Thank you, everyone who voted for my story. I wanted to write it back when L&C was back on--and found out that Tim was writing IGYUMS at the same time. So I put it aside, but it was too good an idea to let lie. Thanks again, everyone. You deserved it, Sheila :) And now it's commercial time again ... smoke 'em if you've got 'em! ;) Our third "Best Overall" excerpt is from "The Healing Time" by Wendy Richards. After nearly marrying Lex Luthor and watching him die, Lois has a hard time regaining her equilibrium. >>> [Clark had] realised that Lois was bound to be hurting, but he had allowed himself to believe her assertions on the phone that she was okay. Clearly she had been lying. And more seriously, she was in a far worse emotional state than he could have envisaged. It was tempting to go to her and offer his friendship and support, to insist on driving her home and being there if she wanted to talk. But she'd resisted his overtures in that direction so far: why would she change now? It occurred to him after a moment's reflection that sympathy wasn't what she would respond to at the moment. He knew Lois Lane well enough to understand that she would reject any such overtures, seeing them as pity. No, he needed to try a different tack.... Clark strolled purposefully towards Lois's desk and perched on the edge, watching her stuff her belongings into her bag. "Going somewhere, Lois? It's a little early to be knocking off," he observed casually but with a faintly sarcastic edge to his voice. She turned to glance at him, clearly surprised by his tone. "I'm going home," she told him abruptly. "Home?" He favoured her with a sceptical glance. "Excuse me, but are you sure you're really Lois Lane? Because, you know, the Lois I've known for the past year would never just pack up and go home in the middle of the day like this, especially not after she came in late in the first place." Lois glared at him, clearly regarding him as an irritating nuisance. "Look, Clark, it's really none of your business what I do." He raised his eyebrows sharply in mock-amazement. "It isn't? Last I heard, we were partners." She shrugged, deliberately turning away from him. "Well, things change, don't they?" Then, seeming to think better of her dismissive manner, she turned back to face him. "Look, Clark, you'd really be better off looking for another partner. I'm going to take a vacation, and I really don't know what I'll do when I get back. I might even decide to take a career break, so...." She trailed off, deliberately leaving Clark to draw his own conclusions from her comment. "A career break?" he repeated incredulously. Shaking his head, he continued, "No, you can't be Lois Lane. The Lois I know would barely agree to take a vacation, let alone a career break. You've got to be a fake. Unless...." he added, deliberately trailing off in an uncertain tone. That got her attention. "Unless what?" Clark smiled cruelly as he moved in for the kill. "Unless you've lost your nerve." <<< and now a word from our sponsor...

Okay! thanks, Pam. ;) Our next category is Best Alternate Universe Story, and to present it, here is Audrey. Take it away, Audrey! Welcome back everyone. So now we come to the Kerth Award for Best Alternate Universe Story. Now, we all love our Lois and Clark, or else we probably wouldn't be here. But I have a confession to make. I am head over heals in love with the alternate Clark Kent. From the moment he looked up in his newsroom to find a strange, yet strangely compelling, woman in his arms and kissing him, to his last goodbye to a man who had everything he had ever wanted, there was something about alt-Clark that I responded to. He was the same caring, kind, gorgeous J man as our Clark Kent, yet with harder edges, that tried to hide deeper vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, we never got to see him find his Lois. At least, we didn't get to see an official version. What we did get, and for which we should consider ourselves very fortunate, was many wonderful versions of the alternate universe, where a lonely man with no secrets discovers that he doesn't have to be alone anymore. Our nominees have given us several different versions of the alternate universe. Whether in a universe strangely similar to our own, one a little darker, or which more closely mirrors the episodes "Tempus, Anyone" and "Lois and Clarks", the only limits were imagination and talent. And these nominated authors clearly lacked neither. Without further ado, the nominees for Best Alternate Universe Story are: Big Boys Do Fly/Big Boys Do Fly II: Close Encounter/Big Boys Do Fly III: Torn Between Two Worlds by Wendy Richards Fear of Discovery/Fear of Discovery II: Nowhere to Hide by Yvonne Connell Life in a Different World/Life in a Different World, part 2: The Reluctant Superman by Mobile Richard The Mirror Crack'd by Hazel and Only You: Reality by Margaret Brignell And the winner is: this is soo exciting! Life in a Different World/Life in a Different World, part 2: The Reluctant Superman by Mobile Richard Congrats Mobile Richard! Mobile Richard isn't here today, but I'm sure she will be very pleased to get this award. (And yes, from my understanding, she is a she. ) I love this universe, so let me add my congratuations to those of those scrolling on the chat channel at this very moment. :) Back to you, Erin! :) Thanks, Kathy ;) The next category is Best Elseworld Story, and it will be presented by Claire. Claire? As H.G. Wells the younger says to Clark in Soul Mates, "...the power of your love is what brings your souls together, time after time. You see, that is the one absolute: Wherever she is, you are." *Elseworld* stories show how different the 'bringing together' of these souls can be! The year 2000 nominees for the catagory ***BEST ELSEWORLD*** ....Arrrre...... Alternate Beginnings by Chris H. Heartache Tonight by German L&C Team Just Like That/Being Lois Lane by Pam Jernigan My Journal by Debby Stark Strange Visitor From the Congo by Wendy Richards Timeless by Becky Bain And the ***Winner*** ...iiiissss..... pause for drumroll... the winner is: Strange Visitor From the Congo by Wendy Richards what? * KathyB pulls out the stretcher again. ;) congratulations, Wendy Ummm... Erin, are you sure you counted the votes right? I have to say here one HUGE thanks to Yvonne Connell, who unfortunately got disconnected a while back If it wasn't for Yvonne, this story would never have got finished She forced me to finish it, nagged me and encouraged me until it was done So, Yvonne, half this award is for you! Thank you all, very much Thanks, Wendy ;) Tell your husband to get you some oxygen Next up is Kathy R to present the award for Best Krypton/New Krypton Story [Yet another major netsplit ...] or a netsplit LOL! OUch okay, Kathy, you're up ;) It is my pleasure to introduce the Category of Best Krypton/New Krypton Story. When originally aired, the New Krypton Arc caused a physical separation that only served to strengthen the bond between Lois and Clark. Proving once again, that nothing could keep their love apart. The stories in this category are concerned with either Krypton or New Krypton. And now, the nominees... Universal Union - by Jenni Debbage What if I Never Left Krypton - by Dawn Field Come Back to Me - by Allison Forbes Power to Forgive - by Sharon Gilbert and Love Disabled - by Tank Wilson And the winner is... Universal Union - by Jenni Debbage Congrats, Jenni! Congrats Jenni! Tnanks to everyone who voted for me. I didn't think this stood a chance as it was so different. All I can say is thank you to all those who encouraged me to post it. We're all glad you did, Jenni ;) Now, here is KathyB to present the award for Best Original Premise Thanks, Erin This category provided yet another opportunity for voters to tear their hair out while trying to decide which story to vote for. All six of the nominated stories were so wonderful, and the choice was extremely difficult. These six wonderful nominees are ... Caped Fear by LabRat Firestorm by Irene Dutchak Heliophobia by Yvonne Connell The Penfriend by Wendy Richards Strange Visitors by Ccmalo and Timeless by Becky Bain And the Kerth goes to .... The Penfriend by Wendy Richards !!! I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS!! Ummm.... thank you again everyone And especially thanks to everyone on Zoom's message boards who followed this story and told me they liked it Now I'm REALLY going to faint! Thanks all! Congrats Wendy :) Congratulations again, Wendy! It's now time to take a commercial break, and we have another excerpt from one of our Best Overall Story nominees thanks, Erin :) So, you guys tired of Wendy yet? 'Cause the next excerpt is from "It Happened One (Super) Night" >>> At first, Clark couldn't feel anything, but then as he became accustomed to the shape of Lois's bump he thought that he could sense a tiny flutter beneath his hand. Looking up, and meeting Lois's eyes, he whispered, "It's... miraculous!" Lois raised shining eyes to Clark's. "Isn't it? I've read things, you know, and heard other women talk about how they felt when they felt their baby move for the first time, but I never imagined it would be so... so *special*! Before, when I felt her, I wasn't sure... but this time she was definitely moving." She brought her own hand to her stomach, and Clark moved his other hand to cover hers. They stayed like that for several minutes as the baby, evidently restless, moved and kicked a little more. Eventually realising that their position, with Clark kneeling in front of her chair in the middle of the Planet newsroom, could look extremely compromising, Lois gently pushed him away and stood up. "Hey, come on, we can't stay here all night! And if anyone came in and saw us like this, no-one would believe this isn't your baby!" <<< Now a word from a new sponsor: Do you want pictures, links, FanFic, info, quotes and MORE in your e-box every week? If you do, subscribe to the free e-zine, FoLC Planet! E-mail ErinFolC@aol.com to subscribe. *** Continuing our glimpses of "Best Overall" nominees, we have an excerpt from "Life in a Different World," by Mobile Richard. Our Clark finds himself in an alternate universe, where everything is so much darker than what he's used to... >>> Clark heard the sound of her locks turning stealthily. He shifted his weight in anticipation, wondering how she would react to him. How long was it before Superman's debut? Had he and Lois met yet? Had Clark Kent even arrived in Metropolis? Lois quietly slid the chain on the door. Although surprised at how furtively she had set about unlocking the door, he was totally unprepared for its abrupt opening, and for the knife thrust suddenly at his throat. "What are you doing here, Kent?" screamed Lois. "What did I tell you??? Stay away from me!!" Clark flinched. "Lois, what...?" "I said, GO AWAY, Kent!! I have 'friends!'" Lois advanced on him rapidly, wielding the knife expertly. "T-take it easy, Lois," said Clark, backing away. "I'm not going to hurt you! I'm sorry if I scared you, but I really need to talk to you. Please." "I said GO!" Lois glared at him while continuing to hold the knife at a menacing angle. <<< Now back to our program... Thanks Pam! ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 23:59:58 -0600 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Kathy Brown Subject: 2000 Kerths Ceremony Log (edited) Part 3/3 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" ; format="flowed" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Our next category is Best Villain Story, and here is Sheila to present the list of nominees and the winner. Sheila? Most fanfic stories explore the relationship between Lois and Clark, and the stories in this category are no different; each one includes an excellent relationship plot. However, these five writers have gone beyond the usual to incorporate villains who pose real threats to Lois and Clark/Superman. The villains I remember from the old Superman series were stupid, buffoonish louts, not worth the attention of a hero like Superman. And, although the villains on "Lois and Clark" had the advantage of technology that could challenge Superman, all too often, they were little more than cartoonish parodies. Not so the villains in these stories. These villains are cruel, brilliant, and/or powerful, and their presence in the following stories is a formula for nail-biting suspense. They may drive our heroes to their knees, but by providing nearly insuperable challenges, such villains also showcase Lois's and Clark's intelligence, courage, and heroism. Tonight I have the honor to present to you the five nominees for Best Villain Story: "Labyrinth / Preparations / Stronger Than Me Alone," by Phil Atcliffe; "Fear of Discovery / Nowhere to Hide," by Yvonne Connell; "Recognition: The Only Way," by C.C. Malo; "Strange Visitor From the Congo," by Wendy Richards; and "Doppelganger," by Nan Smith. May I have the envelope please? And the winner of the Kerth award for the Best Villain story is Labyrinth/Preparations/Stronger Than Me Alone by Phil Atcliffe Congratulations, Phil! Let's hear from Phil! Come on up here, Phil! ;) Phil appears to be lagged, so we'll just give him a few minutes to get his thanks to the channel :) he's lagging... [Major netsplit number 3 ...] wow! let's sit tight a second, everyone Phil has come back, just in time to give his acceptance speech! Go Phil! Hey, Phil, make a speech Thank you all -- and a to the gods of fortune for that _so_ timely netsplit! I'd really like to thank all the S6 group. They were a great team to work with, and we had a heck of a lot of fun planning the finale and Luthor's ultimate demise LOL Phil They also let me be _really_ nasty... When it comes to killing Lex Luthor, too much is never enough! LOL Phil; why in the world would we stiffle genius like yours? So thanks again, and I'm truly honoured; a Kerth is an accolade from people whose opinion is something to treasure. Well, congratulations, Phil. It was much deserved ;) Our next cateogry is Best Next Gen/Early Years Story, and to present this one is Dia. Come on up here, Dia! ;) And unfortunately, Diyan doesn't seemed to have recovered from that nasty split a few minutes ago ... we'll give her a minute Next Generation stories-- or perhaps I=EDd better call them *Other* Gen stories-- are stories about Lois=ED and Clark=EDs kids. . . or their parents :) The focus is usually taken off Lois and Clark, which can make this the hardest kind of story to write in a community of folcs who are used to reading and writing about these two characters. . . . . .but it also opens up unlimited possibilities. I think I love Other Gen stories because the emphasize the timelessness of our story. Our nominees are: "Suffer the Little Children" by Jenni Debbage "Firestorm" and "Starfire and Sunstorm" by Irene Dutchak "The Martha Chronicles I: the Martha Bums" by Christy Kubit "My Almost Perfect Life" by Molly "Coming of Age" and "Tempered by Fire" by Notrepooh and "Navigating Denial" by Zoomway and our winner is... "Firestorm" and "Starfire and Sunstorm" by Irene Dutchak!!!! congratulations Irene Thank you so much. I'm amazed and very grateful I have to thank everyone who voted for me and my friends and wonderful helpers, Karen Ward, Wendy RIchards and Laurie. Thanks guys and thank you again Congratulations, Irene! ;) Now here's Dawn Field to present the award for Best Series. Dawn? Thank you, Erin. A series contains two or more parts, that together make a whole story. These parts can be enjoyed on their own, but together they form a complete picture. The show utilized several series to continue a theme and create suspense. Writers use them in much the same way. The nominees for Best Series are: Dagger Series: Dagger of the Mind/Dagger's Edge/Assassin's Dagger by Nan Smith Firestorm/Starfire and Sunstorm by Irene Dutchak Jon Kent Series: Awakenings/Here We Go Again/Right on Time/The End of the Beginning by Trevise Just Like That/Being Lois Lane by Pam Jernigan Life in a Different World/Life in a Different World, part 2: The Reluctant Superman by Mobile Richard My Kent Series: The Master Race/Suffer the Little Children/Tears of a Clone by Jenni Debbage And the winner for Best Series is: Firestorm/Starfire and Sunstorm by Irene !!! Congrats, Irene! Oh, my gosh! I can't believe it! Thank you so much, everyone. I am thrilled here. Karen had to pick me up off the floor! I don't know what to say except - thanks! Nice to have that support system for when you need to be picked up off the floor I can attest that it's more fun to attend these things with friends! :-) Now we're off for one last break, with the final excerpt of the evening. Take it away, Pam ;) Our next category is Best New Author, that I know you're all waiting eagerly for ... so naturally, we're going to commercial ;-) Our final "Best Overall" excerpt for the night is from Sheila Harper's Season 6 trilogy. >>> "Lois and I were in an accident a couple of days ago." "Lois and . . . you?" Jonathan repeated. "Yeah." Clark glanced at his wife again. "I'm . . . Clark, and this is Lois. We were hit by a ray that . . . exchanged our bodies." Martha had one hand to her mouth, and Jonathan was frowning behind his glasses. "Lois?" he asked tentatively. Lois nodded. "He's right, Jonathan." She squeezed Clark's hand. "It's been a pretty horrible few days." "But . . . how did this happen? Why haven't you gotten changed back?" Martha asked, bewildered. Clark bent over to pick up Laura and kept his head down, blowing kisses with his daughter while Lois gave a short but complete account of what had happened during the past few days. But when his mother asked, "And how are you dealing with it?" he stood up and announced, "Laura needs to be changed," and fled upstairs. "So, Lois ... what's the men's room like?" Martha asked. <<< One last word from our sponsor... Thugor's Discount Henchmen -- yes, that's right, we said 'discount'! High quality, low cost -- 50% less than the competition!

Our Next-to-Last category is "Best New Author" -- and I for one am extremely pleased that we've had so very many eligibles here! New authors means lots of new fanfic for us all to love But I'm babbling... Here to present the award for Best New Author is last year's winner, Wendy Richards! :-) It gives me very particular pleasure to present tonight's award for Best New Author. It's truly amazing that almost three years since any new episodes of Lois and Clark were shown on TV, this fandom is attracting more new writers than ever. Thanks to Dia, who kept a list we know that there were 57 new authors in 1999, a truly remarkable total. And the most impressive thing about this is that some of those new authors wrote stories which count among the best this year: Becky Bain's Timeless, Irene Dutchak's Firestorm, Trevise's Awakenings, Chris Carr's So... That's What You've Been Hiding and many more. The shortlisted six truly deserve their nominations: they have written some wonderful stories, some of which are among my personal favourites. They've been very prolific too - last year, I was considered a very exceptional case for having written ten stories over the year. These six nominated writers have written between them a total of 39 stories, an average of 6.5 stories each!

Despite the technical hitches it seemed like a wild time was had by all. Some more than others. Congratulations to Kara and Adam on the birth of their brand new, twin daughters! Apparently my fic is good for something else besides reading, since presenting my award for Best Dramatic Fic for Caped Fear was what prompted Kara into labour! Thanks to everyone who voted my fic into the nominations, never mind a real life Kerth. Wow. The wealth of talent that I was pitted against this year was awesome. And to all the wonderful authors who've made life so much fun this past year. I find how vibrant the fanfic community is in FoLCdom truly amazing, considering how long the show had been off air, particularly in the last year. Long may it continue! And grateful thanks too to the committee, the presenters, and their many little helpers , who did such a marvellous job - as always - of bringing this event to fruition. We all appreciate how much time and energy you guys spend on this on our behalf. And to Helene, who bravely volunteered to make a proxy acceptance speech on my behalf, when I didn't get back in.

Tonight we'll have to endure one of the most lackluster Academy Award presentations I can remember. The lack of quality films up for awards this year just emphasizes to me that the actual Academy Awards, for writing at least, took place last night and all the nominated LnC Fanfic writers' could write rings around the current crop of what passes for screen writers in Hollywood today. Again congratulations and I'm looking forward to another year of pleasant reading of virtuoso writing of all our wonderful LnC Fanfic writers.

Malo" Subject: SIP: Connections - part 21 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi -- Feedback welcome, as always. Carol --------------- Connections, part 21 "Let's have it, Zara. What's really going on?" A grim Clark Kent was standing in front of Zara who for once was unaccompanied by Ching. Instead, Clark was startled to see Rick Vega, the new reporter who had been hired at the Planet a little over a month ago, just about the same time as Zara, he now recalled. Why, he wondered, had he been so shocked that Lois had been tailing him when it seemed like half the world was? There was probably a line-up. He acknowledged Rick with a sardonic lift of his eyebrows, but spoke directly to Zara. "The ship you showed me last night was a fake and the hologram was a fake." Zara's face showed no emotion but she stood very still, while Vega moved swiftly to her side. "Why do you say that?" "I've seen the real craft which brought me to Earth. I've also seen a hologram of my parents. It was transmitted from a small globe which was part of the ship." "Believe me, Kal El, we had hoped it would be unnecessary to use our mock-up of the ship and the hologram. We expected that natural feelings for your homeland would be enough. I was never comfortable with deceiving you." She looked at him imploringly. "You have to believe that, Kal." "How much of the rest of your story is a lie?" A small muscle twitched in his jaw, betraying his irritation at Zara's dishonesty. "Nothing!" "The marriage?" "That was a projection of what our parents had probably intended. You and I were both born in the same year, Kal. A union between us would have followed Kryptonian custom. My mother informed me that she and your mother had corresponded about such a betrothal after your birth." Clark was still skeptical. "It's time to level with me, Zara. If you expect me to go to New Krypton, you owe me the truth." "There's not much more to tell. We've already told you how serious the power struggle with Nor is. But what we haven't told you is that Nor has become more aggressive. He had provoked sqirmishes between our supporters and his. Misunderstandings, he claims," she added sacastically. She took a breath and then continued. "Nor wishes to marry me -- he has approached the Council of Elders for permission -- the last time, the vote was a tie." "I don't get it, Zara. Just say no." "It doesn't work like that. The Council of Elders has acted as regent since the death of my father two years ago. Nor had sought permission from him to marry me but my father always refused." "So why can't Nor take no for an answer?" "Nor is ambitious. He has a distant claim to rule New Krypton, which he would very much like to do. Marrying me would strengthen that claim. Any son we might have would automatically inherit the throne. Nor could claim to rule in the child's stead, as regent." The first thing that echoed through Clark's mind was Lois's scathing comment about dynastic struggles. Clark found the gap between the technological level of New Krypton and the primitive level of their political and social systems astounding. Still, he tried to look at this as a Kryptonian might. "Would that have been so bad?" Zara's composure disappeared as she lost her temper for the first time since he'd met her, her voice sharp with impatience. "Don't you understand, Clark? Nor is an amoral, manipulative, selfish thug who'll destroy New Krypton within a year. I won't let him gain power!" "Then tell this Council of Elders that the answer is no." "I can't. There's something else, Kal. We found out two days ago that Nor has kidnapped my children. He's holding them hostage until I return and agree to the marriage." "So that's it," Clark said softly, his voice sympathetic now as he touched Zara's shoulder, trying to calm her agitation. "How much danger are they in?" "I don't know! I hope not any at the moment. But if I don't get back to New Krypton, I don't know what will happen. I'm counting on the fact that Nor's no fool -- he knows he'll lose support with the Council of Elders if he uses violence against children." "I'm not sure I get this, Zara -- how could you marry Nor, or me for that matter, if you already have a husband?" Zara, looked at him surprised. "Kal, it would not be acceptable for me to marry the father of my children. He is not of the same rank. The Council of Elders would not permit it." "Oh," Clark said, properly admonished. How could he have not grasped that little detail? "Of course," he replied, curious about who the father of her children was. "Now you understand why we must return at once. Besides, your government knows we're here now -- that's a complication, as is the fact that Nor has emissaries here. If we leave, they will follow us back which means Earth will cease to face a problem. I'm very concerned that they will not use these developing powers which Earth seems to give us with as much restraint as Ching, Vega and I have done." Recalling the stranded school bus which he'd rescued a few days earlier, Clark raised his eyebrows but said nothing, more concerned about the news that some of Nor's men were here. That was another reason to get to New Krypton. These guys didn't sound too reliable and localizing the struggle to New Krypton seemed like a good idea. The thought of a few Supermen unconstrained by any sense of responsibility was not a welcome one. "How many of Nor's men are here?" "I'm not sure. I spoke with his chief emissary, Krc Xi. He said he was part of a small group." "But you don't believe him?" "I don't know. Nor has less support than we do and I don't believe he would be able to spare that many men to come here. Besides this technology we've used is still very new and very expensive. I don't think Nor has the resources to send more than one small ship. What worries me is that he has somehow convinced the Council of Elders to permit him to use even one vessel." "Why do some of the Council support Nor?" "The Council at times has difficulty reaching decisions -- there are some who feel that they have become immobilized and that a strong leader would solve this problem." "I don't get it. Why not you? Why are they acting as regent for you? You're an adult, Zara." Zara's face was noncommittal. "It has been suggested, but most members of the Council are uncomfortable with the idea. No woman has ever ruled Krypton, let alone New Krypton. They are prepared to accept me as one of the Council, but that is as far as they will go." She returned to her original purpose. "Kal, that is why you must return. New Krypton is on the verge of a civil war and if Nor wins, he will destroy our society. You are the right one to lead us and the nobles will accept you because of your birth." Then her voice lost its control. "My children, Kal. I must rescue them!" No, Clark thought, I'm not the one to lead you; but maybe I can help. He could not bear the thought of Zara's children being held hostage. He remembered the hologram and his glimpse of himself as an infant. And how lucky he'd been to be found and loved by Martha and Jonathan Kent. Right now, these children were not so fortunate. Jor El and Lara had done everything they could to keep him safe; he knew that now. He owed no less to his cousin. "Zara, I need to say good-bye to Lois. I'll meet you back here." ***** Clark shot across the dark night skyline, oblivious to most of what lay below. The excitement and exhilaration he'd felt on first meeting Zara and Ching had long since gone, replaced now by his concern for Zara's children, the dark anticipation of war, and the fear of losing everything he had hoped for with Lois. Swooping low as he neared the Apollo Hotel, he let himself plummet until he was level with the one window in Lois's apartment, hovering in the air as he scanned her room. She wasn't there. Where would she have gone? Then it dawned on him -- Bureau 39. ***** When Lois had arrived earlier at Bureau 39, she approached from half a block away, cautious in face of her expectations about what and who she might find there. As she got closer, she realized her instinct had been right. Bureau 39 was not lit by the half light of a government agency after hours. Instead, lights blazed on the ground floor and several nondescript dark coloured cars which reeked "government issue" waited in the street in front of the building, their drivers at the wheels. As she approached, another car pulled up and Lois watched as a fit, balding, middle aged man with a soldier's bearing climbed out and jogged up the steps of Bureau 39, an aide with a briefcase trotting behind him. Deciding this was probably not a safe place for her right now, Lois made a quick change in plans. So did the man who was following her. ***** Lois's next stop was LNN; she was about to call in a favour from Claude Kendall and she wasn't much looking forward to it. Although it was late, she knew there would still be staff at LNN doing the last minute prep for the 11 o'clock news. Kendall could take a minute away from having his hair groomed and talk to her. She wanted him to give her access to the video archives of LNN News. She figured Trask had found something in that crowd scene tape and she wanted to know what it was. Maybe it was a shot of Zara or Lieutenant Ching. Maybe they had been here longer than they had told Clark. But how would she contact him to warn him if that's what she found? As she rode the elevator to the rarefied floor from which LNN NEWS was broadcast, Lois found herself reliving some of what had happened in the Congo four years ago. Claude had left her, not just as her lover, but as her working partner. He'd faxed the first part of her story, with his by-line on it, to the Planet; stolen her notes for the rest; then got a seat on a small corporate jet owned by DeKonig Diamonds and left town, a town which at that time was under imminent threat of attack by rebel forces. She'd scrambled around for a couple of days, hastily reassmebling her evidence, increasingly with the feeling that she was being watched, and then decided it might be prudent to leave town. No flights were scheduled for the rest of that week and so she'd felt lucky to get a seat on that van -- that van, she thought -- and for a moment the screeching horror of the explosion replayed in her mind as vividly, more vividly than the hologram she'd seen with Clark a couple of hours ago. Getting to LNN's star anchorman proved more time consuming than she'd expected. The name Lois Lane meant nothing to the pretty woman with the ostentatious hair who enhanced the front desk in the news department. Lois's credentials as a Planet reporter got her a look that gave her a feeling the receptionist was looking for Lois's clay tablet. Mr. Kendall was far too busy, by which the receptionist meant important, to talk to a print journalist right now. If Lois would leave her name, she would see if Mr. Kendall was available later this week. Lois smiled politely and said perhaps she'd forgotten to mention that she and Claude Kendall had worked closely together four years ago when he'd been a *print* journalist. When Perry White, her very good friend, was their editor, she emphasized. The woman arched an eyebrow but picked up her phone saying she'd speak to Mr. Kendall's assistant. "Thank you," Lois said, leaning back in her chair to wait. She didn't wait long. The receptionist hung up her phone just as a security man entered the small reception area. "Let's see your I.D., Miss." Lois pulled her battered passport and her glossy new press card from her bag, handing them silently to the guard who looked at both her and them carefully before handing them back to her. "I'd say she's legit but if Mr. Kendall doesn't want to see her, then she's out of here." "I'm not so sure she's legit. Mr. Kendall said she had to be another imposter -- Lois Lane died four years ago." "As you can see, Mr. Kendall doesn't have too strong a grasp of the facts," Lois said sweetly. "Just a minute," the receptionist said, picking up the phone on her desk. A minute later, Claude Kendall pushed his way through the door on the receptionist's right and stopped, colour draining from his handsome face as he caught sight of Lois, a reaction which lasted less than a second as his eyes travelled to her hair. He turned to the security guard. "She's a fraud." Swiveling impatiently, he reached for the door knob behind him. "You don't like the new hair colour, Claude?" Lois asked calmly, amazed that she felt nothing on seeing him again. He turned around and gave her a second look. "Maybe you need more convincing. We stayed at the Hotel du Sud, room 27." His voice was cautious. "That's easy information to get hold of." Lois smiled, noticing she'd now got a different type of interest from the receptionist and security guard. "You have a strawberry birthmark, the size of a quarter, about five inches below your navel, and your right..." She drawled the information, then paused to give him a chance to interrupt. He took it. Approaching her, he reached for her hands. "Lois, it is you! This is incredible. I don't understand. They said you were dead. Lois, I was devastated, heart broken," he added as he looked quickly at the receptionist. Lois gave him a long look. "Claude, you were the first person I thought of. I have *so* much to tell you." "And I want to hear the whole story. Look, Lois, I'm busy right now -- the 11 o'clock -- you know how it is." A confidant, charming smile curved his lips but failed the climb to his eyes. "Leave me your number and I'll call you tomorrow." "Why don't I wait here until you're finished?" Claude hesitated for a moment. "All right." "I'll just chat with..." Lois paused to peer at the name plate on the desk, "Courtney while I wait." She beamed at him and then at Courtney, now finding she was enjoying herself -- maybe she did feel something on seeing Claude again -- just the tiniest, infinitesimal urge to extract some small but blissful bit of revenge. Claude took her by the arm and ushered her a few feet down the hall. "Lois, it is so great to see you again -- we can probably steal a few minutes in here before the broadcast." Lois gave him a beatific smile, then walked ahead of him into the small conference room to which he'd led her. As soon as the door closed, she turned. "Claude, this is what I want. I want you to authorize my access to LNN news video archives and I want that right now. And I'll need to borrow someone who can steer me in the right direction so I don't waste two hours figuring out the system." She gave him time to respond, second guessing what he was thinking. "What are you up to, Lois?" "Last time I answered that question from you, life got a little too interesting." "Lois, we were partners," he protested and then stepped closer to her, meeting her eyes, and lowering his voice a seductive notch. "More than partners." "Access, Claude, or I go back and chat with Courtney ... to begin with." "Lois, it's late." Lois shrugged and walked to the door. Claude caught up with her. "OK. I'll send Sandi with you but you share what you find." His voice softened again. "Lois, we were a good team once -- we can be again." Lois was about to tell him what the chances of that were when she caught herself. No need to tick him off right now -- he had access to what she wanted, and if need be, he could give her access to a large media audience as well. That might be useful to her; Claude could be a useful ally. Then, once Clark was safe, she could get back to having a bit of fun with Claude Kendall. "Thank you, Claude," she said meekly, as she let him open the door for her. ***** end, part 21 ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2000 08:41:10 -0500 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Hazel Subject: Re: Old fanfic not on Archive In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Becky, glad you tuned in for some FDK. :) >I did attempt to send both the story you mentioned and the other LnC story I >wrote to the Archive, but they would not format correctly and I'm afraid I >just wasn't motivated enough to retype them.

The virus has been around since last year, but it's a sneaky thing. Tara has been having trouble with her e-mail, and someone suggested she check for it. You get it through an e-mail attachment, then it sneaks in and starts using your computer to send it to others in your address book. It also tries to connect to a URL and send information that can be used to install a back orifice on your computer so it can be accessed by a remote user. There's a bunch of other stuff as well that you don't want. Anyway, Tara checked, and sure enough she had it on her computer. She got rid of it, but now she's got a bunch of potential other problems as a result of what it may have done. If you want to check to see if you've acquired it, use the "Find" function on your Start menu and look for a file labeled "32.vxd" (without the quotation marks) and/or "PrettyPark.exe" . If you find it, go to the address that follows and they'll tell you how to remove it. Or you can use the most recent update of Norton AntiVirus to get rid of it.

Sung" Subject: L&C&J&J (1/?) To those of you who are not members of Zoom's board, there was a post by Merry Truitt that said that "Kerth awards are over now and it is time to take your muses out of the closet and start writing again." Sounds like good advice. So here's something I started working on. "L&C&J&J" stands for "Lois & Clark & John & Joan", a working title, which may change. Note: continuity-wise, everything is messed up. It is not consistent with the series, nor is it consistent with my universe ("The (fill-in-the-blank)" stories). This is an alternate universe story where I took some liberties with the chronology. I've also borrowed some lines from the series, most notably the pilot. All standard disclaimers apply, and comments are appreciated (with the exception of the grammar: I'm going to feel sorry for the editor who gets this should I send this to the archive ). * * * * * * * * Lois and Clark and John and Joan (working title) By Felix [Prologue: Somewhere in Metropolis] She could not believe her ears. "Lois Lane and Clark Kent?" she exclaimed. He smiled at her outburst. "I know, love, I know. We're going to get our hands full with this assignment." "But, why them, of all people?" she inquired. She got up and started to pace around the room. "I don't know. But let's not question his choices, shall we?" "All right, then, all right," she sighed. "How much time do we have?" "The usual," he shrugged. They looked at one another for a moment. Then he added, "He's confident of our abilities, you know that." Her face softened. "I know. So how are we going to do this?" "That's why we're here. To plan. Shall we get to work, my sweet?" "Yes, my love, let's!" * * * * * * * * [Metropolis, Hotel Apollo] [August 16, 1993] Clark was feeling dejected as he made his way back to the Hotel Apollo. The biggest job interview that he had ever done, and he blew it. It was simple as that. He had hoped that for once he could stay in one place and not move on like the way he did the past four years. He had hoped that he could get a job at the Daily Planet, 'the greatest newspaper in the whole world,' as Perry White, the Editor-in-Chief, said with pride. And it didn't look like either was going to happen. Clark walked through the lobby of the Hotel Apollo, clearly lost in his thoughts. A shout of "Hey, you!" on his left jarred him back to reality. He turned and saw the hotel manager standing by the front desk, motioning him over. "You the guy in Room 210?" the hotel manager barked. Without waiting for Clark's response, the older man handed him a piece of paper. "This is for you." "Thanks..." Clark started, but he saw that the hotel manager was walking back to his office. Clark glanced at the piece of paper the manager gave him and smiled. Instead of going to the stairway and to his room, he turned around and went out the front door of the hotel. A few moments later Clark was standing in front of Room 105 of an apartment building across town, and knocked. He heard a muffled "Just a minute!" and leaned against the opposite wall of the rather dark hallway -- a couple of the lights were out, he noted. The door opened to reveal an attractive brunette in her mid to late twenties. "Hi, Clark! You're just in time for supper..." Joan Duoblys started, but then she noticed the look on his face. "Oh, Clark," she said softly, and stretched her arms out. "Come here..." Wordlessly Clark allowed himself to be enveloped by her embrace. * * * * * * * * It's hard to describe Clark's relationship with Joan Duoblys, perhaps because he had not been in many relationships in the past. They had met in Paris a month ago -- he had been working as a freelance for a couple of French newspapers, and she was an American high school French teacher on sabbatical. They had clicked, and days later, Clark and Joan were on their first date, a dinner and a movie. It turned out that they had a lot in common. Both had hailed from the Midwest, both had traveled a lot (Joan's father was in the Army), both had a natural flair of languages (besides English and French Joan was fluent in Spanish and could get by in Italian), and both were ridiculously nearsighted. Okay the last wasn't true, since Clark wasn't nearsighted, but he had been wearing glasses out of habit since he was fourteen. There had been many dates since then, but nothing had gone further than a perfunctory peck on the lips at the end of each evening out. Clark had liked Joan a lot, but he didn't want to pressure her into anything. Joan had liked Clark too, but she didn't want to go too fast, fearing that he would get uncomfortable. When they had voiced their concerns, Clark had been amazed at how similar their views were. Both wanted to find that special someone, yet neither was in a hurry to do so. Joan was also the first person besides his parents who knew his 'secret', that he has these powers. She had found out totally by accident. The two were preparing dinner one night, and while Joan was chopping up some vegetables, the knife had somehow flew out her hand and headed towards Clark. Before she could even scream, the knife bounced harmlessly off his head. She even saw that the blade had hit him first, and yet it had bounced off! Clark turned around as the knife fell to the floor. When Joan looked down at it, she had found that the knife was bent at the tip. Immediately Clark was very worried about what would happen next. He was afraid that Joan would either run away, contact the authorities, or both. But Joan's reaction completely surprised him. She hadn't been angry at all. Dinner was forgotten as Joan asked Clark questions late into the night about his special abilities, and afterwards it looked as if Joan was looking at him with even more respect, instead of total fear and disgust. Joan had continued to treat him the same way as before, and Clark really appreciated that. And when she had sworn that she would not tell anyone, Clark believed her. Once Joan had found out, Clark had felt himself freer than before. He no longer had to pretend or to lie around her. She had taken the revelation completely in stride, and once in a while she would accuse him of being a show-off (in jest, of course). They found themselves closer friends than ever before, and their goodnight pecks lately became longer and more substantial. About a week ago, Joan's sabbatical had ended, and she had to return to Metropolis, where she had been teaching French at an all-girl Catholic school for the past seven years. She wasn't about to suggest that Clark follow her to Metropolis, yet he surprised her by saying that he was going to quit everything in Paris and find a job in Metropolis. "It's been a dream of mine to work at the 'Daily Planet'," Clark had said. This also gave Joan the opportunity to fly in Clark's arms for the first time, and she had enjoyed it. When the pair had arrived in Metropolis, Joan had offered the guestroom of her spacious two-bedroom apartment, but Clark had declined. While it was agreed then that they would continue to see each other, and see what would happen, Clark was a little comfortable at this point with the prospect of living with her, even though it would be in separate bedrooms. Joan had not questioned his refusal, which made him feel better about his decision. So now here he was, in the hustle and bustle that was called Metropolis, living at a hotel that was in a seedy part of town, and woefully unemployed. He accepted the cup of tea that Joan had offered him and told her about the interview that he had blown. "I should have known that a resume like mine wouldn't get me a job at the Daily Planet," he sighed as he took a sip of tea. "I probably should have never left Smallville and instead work my up into the bigger papers..." "Didn't the editor look at your samples?" Joan asked. "Not really," Clark reflected. "I had brought stuff from the French newspapers of course, the Smallville Press, the Borneo Gazette..." "The Borneo Gazette!" Joan interrupted, face agape. "He didn't see your article on the mating rituals of the knob-tailed gecko, did he?" She put a hand on her mouth to hide the laughter that was threatening to escape her lips. "Actually, he did," Clark replied, somewhat defensively. "It was a good piece, you know!" "I know it is!" Joan shot back, trying not to giggle. "But it doesn't sound like the type of piece to impress the Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Planet with. Maybe you should have shown him that article you did for Le Monde right before we left Paris." Clark shook his head. "Well it doesn't matter now. I blew the interview, no doubt about it." "That sounded mighty defeatist, Clark," Joan pointed out gently. "You are going to try some of the other papers, right?" "I guess..." Clark didn't sound very convincing. "... but the Daily Planet is the place you wanted to work for, I know." Joan paused to look at him as she thought about the situation. Then an idea came to her. "Why don't you write a story, a mood piece, on anything? You could try to show it to the Editor and see what he thinks." Clark looked up at Joan and smiled. Always resourceful. That was one of many things that he liked about her. "That's a great idea! And I know what to write about!" "Really? What are you going to do?" "Mr. White was asking one of the reporters about the razing of some theater on 42nd Street, and it looked like that she didn't want to do it." "The Bernhardt Theater is going down?" Joan asked, eyebrows raised. "Interesting. That place must be at least a hundred years old. So what's her name?" Joan's question caught Clark off guard. "Name?" he repeated. "You said 'she'," Joan reminded him, bemused. "The reporter who didn't want to write it? What's her name?" "Uh, what was it... oh yeah. It was Lois Lane," he mumbled. What on earth was wrong with him? "Lois Lane? Oh, I've heard of her. As a matter of fact, she was three years behind me at MetroU." Despite being the same age as Clark, Joan had entered MetroU two years early. Clark raised his eyebrows at this new bit of information. "Did you know her?" "Not really. I was an undergraduate teaching assistant for her French class. We barely spoke five words to each other all semester. She was a very good student, as I recall," Joan said. She noticed the look of interest on Clark's face and rolled her eyes. "Why do you ask? Do you think she's cute?" "Jo-an!" Clark exclaimed, turning a deep shade of red. Joan chuckled. "Just kidding. Anyway, why don't you do that piece on the Bernhardt Theater. In the meantime..." -- she got up, and pulled Clark towards the kitchen -- "I'm hungry and you're helping me cook." There was laughter in Clark's eyes as he pulled Joan back to him. "Oh really? I'm in the mood for something different, though. How about Italian?" "And I bet you're going to go to Rome to get it," Joan smirked, her lips inches away from his. "Of course," Clark said, and met Joan's lips for a light kiss. "Okay," Joan consented. "But be careful. You don't want to..." Suddenly there was a whoosh and a sonic boom, as Clark flew out the door. In ten seconds another whoosh signaled Clark's return, his hands full of genuine Italian cuisine. "... be seen by anyone," Joan finished, shaking her head and smiling. "I could get used to this," she remarked, as she started to take the still hot containers of food from Clark's arms. * * * * * * * * ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2000 19:41:19 -0800 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Nancy Smith Subject: Re: OT: Virus warning MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------E647A546CC20E2E140A92905" --------------E647A546CC20E2E140A92905 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit "StarKitty :)" wrote: > This isn't completely accurate.

This is the same superhero who gave the bad guys a nuclear weapon in Lucky Leon, right? To me, it's not that Clark is perfect, or that he never makes a mistake -- he does, we all do. But when he does make a mistake, he's sorry (repentence), he does what he can to rectify it (atonement), and he regrets it. He never says "Oh well, that's life." He learns from his mistakes, and never gives up trying not to make any more. I think everybody is naive enough to make a few mistakes at some point in their lives, and not just when they are young. I'm sure Perry could regale us with some fascinating stories of times when he had the wool pulled over his eyes. If Clark was so perfect that he never made a mistake, that he never got carried away with youthful enthusiasm, that he never -- even inadvertently -- hurt anyone, I think we'll lose one of the things that made Lois and Clark so special. We'll lose Clark's basic humanity -- the fact that he's just a normal guy with superpowers. And a one-hudred-percent Superhero, one who can do anything, always knows what's right, always *does* what's right, and never misjudges anyone or anything -- would be rather boring. In NOS, we don't get a lot of the backstory, and I wish we had. We do get to see Clark say "Gee, that's terrible that I ruined his life like that," but we don't see him atoneing at all. Well, he doesn't really have too, because Sunday is a completely terrible bad guy, no redeeming features at all. But somehow I can't help feeling that if he should have tried to undo the damage he did. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Genevieve "One of a thousand regrets, MacLeod.
