A quarrel over transmission rights between Time Warner Inc. and The Walt Disney Co. left 11 Disney-owned ABC stations without regular programing today. A total of 3.5 million homes nationwide were affected in seven key markets, according to Michael Luftman, spokesman for Time Warner. ABC programming was off the air in Time Warner cable-fed sets in New York, Texas, North Carolina, California, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The move comes in the midst of May sweeps, the period when ratings are used to set local advertising rates. Sweeps began Thursday and lasts until May 24. ''Disney has taken ABC away from you,'' read a Time Warner message on WABC-TV, ABC's affiliate in New York City. ''We offered a proposal that would have kept ABC for our customers. Disney said no.'' Disney officials did not return calls Sunday or early today. Disney-ABC offered five deadline extensions after the original national transmission deal expired Dec. 31, 1999. The most recent deadline, offered in March, gave Disney the authority to withhold its programming from Time Warner cable systems if no deal was reached by 12:01 a.m. today. Disney has asked that Time Warner cable systems not only feature its new channels - Toon Disney and a soap opera channel - but also make the Disney Channel part of the basic service packages. Time Warner has agreed to Disney's demands but has balked at the amount of money it says Disney is seeking. ''Disney is trying to inappropriately use its ownership of ABC television stations to extract excessive and unreasonable terms for its cable TV channels - terms that would add hundreds of millions of dollars in costs for Time Warner Cable and its customers,'' said Fred Dressler, senior vice president for programming for Time Warner Cable. ABC and other over-the-air networks have had the right to demand compensation from cable providers in exchange for their programming since Congress passed 1992's Cable TV Act. In the next few weeks, ABC is set to air four celebrity editions of ''Who Wants to be a Millionaire'', the conclusion of its miniseries ''Arabian Nights,'' the Daytime Emmys, the Kentucky Derby and virtually all of its prime time season finales. ''We are shocked and dismayed that Time-Warner would do this to their own customers,'' said Henry Florsheim, president and general manager of ABC-affiliate KTRK-TV in Houston. ''This is punishing their own customers.'' ___ On the Net: http://www.timewarner.com/corp http://abc.go.com ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 May 2000 11:18:42 -0400 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Anita Hook Subject: Re: Sympathy for ABC... ;) In-Reply-To: <29.47ef15b.263ef1d0@aol.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Thanks for the info April, As for sympathy for ABC/Disney...well after the backstabbing job they pulled on Lois 'n Clark, sympathy is not the word that sprung to my mind when I read about Time-Warner dumping them.

Personally I couldn't imagine a more appropriate result of their business practices. This Disney corporation is not the Walt Disney Corporation that Walt Disney founded.

I think your reasoning for choosing Luthor over Trask is certainly as valid as mine is for choosing the oposite. I don't think Trask is the most efficient LnC villian just the one I abhor the most. And I stand by my statement that even Lex at the height of his power doesn't kill or maim as many people as those who act out of hatred have. Besides Trask's so dumb he gets himself killed off in season one - well Lex did too for that matter - so.... Didn't LnC have so many great villians. BTW, if I were considering the Lex Luthor in the comics, Lex would win hands down and not because of all your excellent points, but because, damn it, he always seems to come out on top. That's why I cheered so loudly when Phil destroyed Lex completely in the final episode of season 6. I sure wish Phil was writing the comics.

I rememeber a few years ago when Bill Gates was accused of forming a monopoly. Can't they do that to Disney?

Well, I can't muster up any sympathy for T-W, either, frankly. This contract dispute has been going on since the beginning of the year, and Disney's continued to allow T-W to broadcast without a contract -- okay, sure, it's to their benefit to be on the air, but to my understanding, it was T-W who made the decision to interrupt my viewing -- to them, I'm just a pawn in a putrid ploy! > Disney is > trying to force them to carry their programming which will skyrocket their > costs as well as the cost of basic cable! A couple of weeks ago Kelley & I saw a representative of Disney explain their side of the story -- supposedly, 65 million homes in the US get the Disney Channel, and 61 million of them get it as part of basic cable. It's only a few cable companies (notably T-W) who make subscribers pay extra (if anyone knows otherwise, please tell me). And I gotta tell ya, I've got a lot of T-W channels as part of basic cable (TBS, TNT, CNN, HN, Cartoon) -- supposedly a T-W cable company gets those *very* cheaply where other cable systems have to pay a lot more, possibly making their subscribers pay more in consequence. I don't see any clear-cut good or bad guys here -- they're both doing the same kinds of stuff. > Isn't Disney turning into somewhat of a monopoly? Well, actually, no. They're a huge company, but I don't think they're monopolizing any one market. They own theme parks; so do other companies (Six Flags, anyone?). They own a broadcast network -- one out of six. They make movies, so do other studios. They do animated flicks -- we just saw "Prince of Egypt" by Dreamworks SKG (it was fabulous). The biggest monopoly involved in *this* particular dust-up is held by T-W Cable, 'cause they're the only cable company to serve my area! If there were another company for competition maybe they'd have more channels and wouldn't have raised my rates for the past few years...

Disney got added to the basic lineup, and the cost of "basic cable" access went up $3.00 a month. That doesn't sound like much, but it really irks me to have to pay $36.00 a year for programming that I don't watch and don't want. In Chicago we have no choice of cable companies; we have to use the company that's been awarded the lucrative franchise for our particular area. So the choice here boils down to pay the $3.00 for Disney, or do without cable altogether. I'm guessing the same thing is going in all the other markets that Prime Cable serves (and I use the term "serves" *very* loosely :p) Pat peabody@mcs.com ---------------- Sent from a WebBox - http://www.webbox.com FREE Web based Email, Files, Bookmarks, Calendar, People and Great Ways to Share them with Others! ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 May 2000 13:07:40 -0700 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Wendy Subject: Re: Sympathy for ABC... ;) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Imagine if they were still giving Lois & Clark.

This caused a huge problem in Cleveland and most of the other major cities Cox serves. We were lucky in that we live close enough to the television towers that we can pick channel 8 up with the TV arial, otherwise we would have had an unhappy father and sister if they missed Ally McBeal, 90210, and PArty of Five... and the worst thing was the Fox Spots carries about half of the indians games, and it is a cable channel, so we weren't able to watch a good many Indians' games since Jacobs' field was sold out for the season... (luckily I was at school and we have cablevision there)... anyway, that brings me to my point (if I have one). In today's society, big companies do what benefits themselves in the long run and do not usually care what their consumers want... they control the supply, and since the demand is so high, they can manipulate what they give.

Anyway, according to a TV Guide article I read, Disney was all bent out of shape because Second Noah was filmed at Busch Gardens (GASP! A rival theme park!).

Actually you can get local television stations (main three ABC/NBC/CBS) from a small satellite dish if (big if) you are in their local service area and you are in one of the big markets. Washington DC (near me but not near enough) is one of those being carried so is LA and NYC. I live 11 miles from the DC beltway, and 11 miles from the Baltimore beltway. DirecTV in their infinate wisdom says that Baltmore is my home area, eventhough I have local calling to all of the District. So if you are lucky there is an alternative. Oh, and you can have that and cable too if you want.

No, the "NYPD Blue" scheduling change had nothing to do with Disney per se, or at least not Disney trying to kill the show. It was more a matter of trying to give the show "Once and Again" a leg up. "Once and Again" was thought to be a strong contender, so ABC started it off in NYPD Blue's Tuesday night spot for the first six weeks of the season. They did this with "The Practice" a couple of years ago, with tremendous success. ABC figured that a spot would open up for "Once and Again" quickly, since some of their other hour shows would surely bomb (how's that for confidence? :P). Unfortunately for "NYPD Blue", ABC's hour dramas did better than they'd expected in the early weeks of the season, and ABC couldn't find a reason to cancel any of them by October/November. Add to the mix that "Once and Again" (one of my favorite shows on television right now, btw) was doing quite well in the Tuesday night spot -- ABC was afraid to move it or put it on hiatus until a spot opened, lest it lose its momentum. So they worked out a deal with "NYPD Blue" to delay its premiere until Monday Night Football was over, and "Once and Again" could be moved to Monday nights. "NYPD Blue" was promised a straight run when they did premiere in January -- they are currently running all 22 episodes straight through with no reruns or preemptions. This agreement was not easily reached -- the producers for "NYPD Blue" were reportedly so furious at being delayed that they were looking at taking their show to another network. But eventually an agreement was reached. (Now whether Disney/ABC had to do any groveling to Bochco or if Disney could apply pressure, I have no idea ... both players have a lot of power here and I don't know who would be in the better bargining position.) ABC is doing very, very well right now in the ratings. They have several very popular dramas -- "NYPD Blue", "The Practice" and "Once and Again". Though the project got off to a slow start, a number of their 2-hour Disney Sunday night movies (the project that L&C was killed for; grrr) have also done very well. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I do hope TW and Disney come to some sort of agreement soon, for the sake of the viewers. I am not in the affected market, but if I was, I'd be having kittens right now. I only follow four series total on television right now, and three of them are the utterly fantastic ABC dramas I listed above. (The fourth is "Friends".) If we lost our ABC programming, our household would pretty much stop watching network televsion.

As to the Vietnam aspect you really got the feeling in there, not only in the descriptive action but in what was going through the minds of our heres. A lot of research must have been done or you had been in Vietnam yourself. Not only was it a well written history piece IMHO, but also a terrific L&C story keeping in character with our heroes. Now just three questions, please don't consider them criticisms, its just my over inquisitive mind and maybe I just mist a few things along the way: *****************Spoiler****************************************************** **************** *****************Spoiler****************************************************** **************** *****************Spoiler****************************************************** **************** *****************Spoiler****************************************************** **************** *****************Spoiler****************************************************** **************** *****************Spoiler****************************************************** **************** *****************Spoiler****************************************************** **************** Question 1) Why does Clark not have Superpowers? In Soul Mates he didn't have them because he was just switching souls with his counterparts not his body, as Lord Charles etc. didn't have superpowers, neither could Clark. However in Tempus Fugitive when Clark in person, i.e. body and soul, goes back in time, he retains all his superpowers. Now I thought that this is what happened here, he went back in time in body and soul, therefore shouldn't he have had his superpowers or did I miss something? Question 2) What did happen to the real Sharen (you spelt it with an "e" didn't you?), obviously she is missing, however we know that it was Lois on the plane anyway. So how come Ms Harper never showed up for her job in the first place. Okay I'm being difficult now, but I did spend the whole story wondering if the real Ms Harper was wondering around the country of Singapore. Initially I thought it was a character that HG Wells had thought up, but he himself said he didn't know where Lois was and feared that she had been mistaken for an American journalist? Question 3) At what point did Clark actually save Jonathan. At the final shooting or from the poison in his leg? Anyway all this aside I really did enjoy the story.

I don't care who the bad guy here is, ABC or TW or Disney (all three of whom I hate) because the people that are going to be hurt are the viewers of current ABC shows who won't get to see important episodes - episodes they may love as much as we did LnC.. I feel for THEM. I've been injured that way for all of the years since the early days of TV in the late 1940s. And that's where my interest lies. Moreover, to me there's also a freedom of viewing question. I grew up in the days of on the air broadcasting only and now live in an area where that's not possible since Allentown is surrounded by mountains. These two/three huge conglomenants are taking away my options - my right to watch what I want to watch and that is inexcusable in a free society. Yes, I know it's done all the time when they reprogam and remove a show we love(d) but that is not the point. Is turning a pistol on me and shooting me in the leg justifiable because a) you're holding the damn gun and it's loaded or B) I or someone else completely innocent did something to annoy the person holding the smoking gun? I don't think so.

However that still doesn't stop me from being slightly delighted that ABC has some hassle. Just shame that the viewer is the one suffering. No doubt it will be sorted out though. To me Lois & Clark will always be the best thing ABC have shown in the last 10 years, it truly was family entertainment. And look 3 years after its demise we are still all here making it live on, the wonderful writers with their imaginative stories and just mear readers such as myself who can't get enough of their fanfic fix. Thanks for the explanation below Kathy about ABC's current success. I wait with great interest to see if we get Once and Again over here (if we haven't already). As to The Practice, it survived all of 2 weeks on network television producing some of the lowest ratings ever in primetime for the particular network. I was most upset as I wanted to watch it and when I turned it on it wasn't there. The first season had a complete run on satellite, but didn't do that well there as it hasn't returned since 1997/98 and they keep saying it isn't going to. I think that's a possible shame as The Practice seems to have gone from strength to strength. We get NYPD Blue here in the UK, I like Steven Bochco things as a rule. However doesn't most of ABC's current success comes down to "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"? I'll be interested to see how long it draws in people's interest. We have had it since 1998 over here and it goes and comes, as to opposed to being on constantly, however I think people are starting to get sick of it now in the UK. The last run was only 7 days (instead of 2 weeks) and people were saying they had had enough by the end of it. I could be wrong of course, but a lot of people I know are starting to groan about it when it comes back. I like it still in small does. As to Wonderful World of Disney they do seem to have had some good successes, but it doesn't command good ratings every single week does it? It didn't when I last looked (admittedly that was some months ago). Surely it depends what they show. Of late they seem to be pulling out the big guns. Anyway thanks for your input Kathy.

It was more a matter of trying to give the show "Once and Again" a leg up. "Once and Again" was thought to be a strong contender, so ABC started it off in NYPD Blue's Tuesday night spot for the first six weeks of the season. They did this with "The Practice" a couple of years ago, with tremendous success. ABC figured that a spot would open up for "Once and Again" quickly, since some of their other hour shows would surely bomb (how's that for confidence? :P). >> Rowan :) -- -- -- LaneKent@aol.com Lois & Clark: Over 200 Links, News & Information About the TV Show and Its Cast: http://members.aol.com/laneken t For news of updates to my site: http://www.onelist.com/commun ity/LaneKent Other Pages: D ean Cain T he Many Faces and Talents of Teri Hatcher ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 2 May 2000 11:05:18 -0400 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: kubitc Subject: OT Re: Sympathy for ABC... ;) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Rowan wrote: >However doesn't most of ABC's current success comes down to "Who Wants To Be >A Millionaire"?

Yes, most of ABC's success is dependent on Who Wants to be a Millionare? though, for the life of me, I can't understand the country's obsession with that show. It seems to be a dumbed-down, hypered-up version of Jeopardy. I'm wondering if the show isn't beginning to lose some of its appeal, as this week they're airing a celebrity version of the show. The only ABC program I watch is Whose Line is it Anyway, which, IMO, is one of the most entertaining shows on TV. The cast is funny and the show doesn't get old (though personally I would have scheduled it at 9 pm, as it's not exactly family programming). In comparison to the British version being shown on Comedy Central, I find the American version funnier, perhaps because some of the jokes lose a bit in the transatlantic journey.

First, I felt that if he had his powers that would have pulled away from my real objective which was to raise awareness of Vietnam to readers of other mediums that may not have sat down and read memoir books. If Superman had arrived, it would have been way far from the whole point. Second, I felt that Sharen Harper, the real journalist, could have been writtten out in several ways. In other areas of the far east, several other little fights were going on and several media detachments got captured or disappeared. The character was actually based on some other woman media spacialist that was lost in the war. There were several ways that we could have still lost sharen, but they were not mentioned. Lastly, The part where Clark is talking about needing "rain", that was a term that some used for the Agent Orange toxin that we used to flush out entire areas. This is still a problem with people getting the govt to admit probs with it. I suupose that if someone is not versed on all the Vietnam lingo, it would have been hard to pick up.

It would have ruined many aspects of the story. However I just felt that perhaps for those of us with L&C history, it would have helped to give a brief explanation (no more than a sentence even) as to why he didn't have any powers. Perhaps HG Welles did someting to stop him having powers with one of his gadgets explaining away that the space time continum is so fragile that Superman being there with all his powers could jeopardise the whole time line etc. Anyway just my silly little humble opinion. I don't really know. As I don't write fanfic and just read it, I'm not really in a position to say anything.

Sung" Subject: NEW: John and Lois and Clark and Joan (aka L&C&J&J) (9/?) I've decided for now that "John and Lois and Clark and Joan" will be my title. Felix ******** (John and Lois and Clark and Joan, Part 9) Torture. Pure, unadulterated torture. Clark was starting to wonder if this was how it was like to be tortured, like a prisoner of war. He could not remember experiencing pain in his life, but what he was feeling now was close. For the past two hours, he and Lois had been going through the piles of paper that was called Dr. Platt's report. It consisted of scribbled notes of different shapes and sizes, some of which may had been originally intended for the recycling bin (for some were crumpled). Also, the entire 'report' was completely unorganized. But this mess explained why the Messenger exploded Wednesday, and he and Lois had to go through everything. He quickly glanced at the woman sitting next to him, and noticed that she was deep in concentration. It looked as if Lois was able to set aside the events of the previous evening and focus on the story. Of course, Lois had four years more experience than Clark had, working at a big metropolitan newspaper, so it probably wasn't hard for her to focus and be a professional. Here was yet another trait that he admired in Lois Lane. Clark held back a sigh as he looked at the notes in front of him. Little did he know that Lois was in reality a bundle of nerves. For now, it seemed that no one from the Planet had witnessed her appalling behavior last night. Yes, she was concentrating on the work in front of her, but what was the alternative? She could think about how she had betrayed John, and about the daunting task she had in telling him. Or she could talk to Clark about what happened Thursday night. Or heaven forbid, she and Clark could end up reenacting the events of Thursday night if they weren't careful. Lois looked around and realized that it was getting dark, and that there were very few people in the newsroom. Yes, Lois was concentrating on the work in front of her, but she would rather be doing something else instead. The stuff that Jimmy had brought from Dr. Platt was really a mess. And time wasn't a luxury that she and Clark could afford. If her memory served, the colonist's launch was scheduled for next week. They had to figure this out by then. Why hadn't Dr. Platt kept a copy of the report? Why was it up to her and Clark to sort it all out? Why was her stomach grumbling? A quick look at her watch answered her last question. When was the last time she had eaten? Lois blew a loose strand of hair from her face and stuck her pencil over her ear. Finally she spoke up. "This is impossible," she said with a sigh. "Nothing matches, no dates... We're never going to get through this. Ugh, and I'm starving!" 'Good idea, Lane, just as if you're complaining,' she thought. "Wish I knew some good Chinese take-out..." she added wistfully. Clark had to stop himself from jumping up from his seat. Here it was, an opportunity to take a break, an opportunity to put a little distance between himself and Lois. He tried to sound casual. "I know a place," he said. He tried to get up slowly and grabbed his jacket. "I'll be right back." Lois could tell, however, how eager Clark was to get away for the moment. It didn't prevent her from asking, though, "Don't you want to know what I want?" "I'll bring an assortment," he said over his shoulder as he left the newsroom. Lois said a silent prayer of thanks, and returned to her task of going through Dr. Platt's notes. * * * * * * * * Clark used a bit of speed to run up the stairs to the roof of the Daily Planet building. After a quick check to see that no one was watching, he launched himself into the air. While flying was a very efficient means of travel for him, it had also given him chances to clear his head. He did know an excellent place to get Chinese food. And he did need a breather from the newsroom that, even though it was a big room, was suffocating him. And he really needed to talk to Lois. Clark sighed. Here he was, possibly the strongest being on earth. As far as he knew, he could not get hurt physically. But it was the words, the reactions, and the other person's feelings, that could pierce his heart. He knew that once he and Lois talked she would end up hating him. Of course, he was hating himself. He also knew that once Joan finds out that he would be alone again. And being alone, after experiencing what it was like to have someone, would be unbearable. It was always his wish to be treated like a normal guy, despite the powers. But what Clark wanted above all else was to find someone, someone to love, someone to love him, and someone to accept him completely for who he was. With Lana and Rachel, neither had known his secret, and the relationships had been nothing serious. Clark suspected that both had stronger feelings about him than he had with either of them. With Joan, however, she knew his secret, and she had accepted it. But it seemed that both he and Joan were comfortable with one another, two people who enjoyed each other's company. It was not two people who were in love; of course, they had been seeing each other for only a month. But what about Lois? Clark mentally reviewed what happened this week. His reaction to when he had met Lois four days ago was of awe. He had looked up old articles that she had written on Tuesday. He had tried more than once to impress her. He had caught himself daydreaming about her during work and while in his hotel room. He had trouble sleeping lately, which was very unusual for a guy who didn't need more than three hours of sleep daily. He almost floated when he had seen her in that midnight blue gown at the White Orchid Ball. And of course, he and Lois had been kissing last night like two people madly in love. Madly in love...? Clark stopped in mid-flight and floated in the air. 'Did I just think that?' he asked himself. Was it possible? Since Clark had never been in love before, how could he tell if he was in love now? He had read books about it, and according to them, he seemed to be having some of the symptoms a person in love had. Oh, how he wished he was in Smallville now, enjoying Mom's home cooking and talking to his parents about his problems. The thought of food brought him back to reality, as he almost forgot why he was flying. Glancing downwards, he found to his relief that he didn't pass his destination. With a burst of speed, he dropped altitude and landed in a remote field just outside of Shanghai, China. A few minutes later, he was again airborne, carrying a couple of bamboo containers. As he flew eastward, the more Clark thought about it, the more it seemed plausible that he was in love. And the more plausible it seemed, the more upset he became. Lois already had a boyfriend. From what he could tell, she was happy with him. He had already come between them last night, and he wouldn't dare do that again. Besides, there was no way Lois could feel the same way now, as she probably hated him. 'You already said that,' he thought grimly. Clark decided that he needed to put more effort into concentrating on the Messenger story. Thinking about his predicament while with Lois would only upset him more. Glancing downward again, he noticed that the waters of the Pacific Ocean were more or less calm. Where he was flying to was anything but that. * * * * * * * * Lois didn't get very far with her work after Clark left, for her phone rang a minute later. Annoyed, she pounced on the receiver. "Lois Lane," she barked. "Catch you at a bad time, Lois?" "John!" she yelped. Yes, she wanted to say. This would be the worse possible time to talk to him. But evidently her mouth had other ideas. "I missed you." "Wish I could believe that," John said. What!?!? What did he say? Okay, now was the time to panic. Lois' mind raced. Did John know what she had done last night? Taking a deep breath, she asked, "What do you mean?" "Well, Lois, you're not home, aren't you? You're at the Planet. And it's late, which means you're hard at work on a story. If you're thinking about me instead of your story then something's wrong here," John chuckled. Normally Lois would laugh at the joke, too, but that was before last night. "Very funny," she deadpanned. "Seriously, though, did I catch you at a bad time?" John asked. Lois calmed herself down. There was no reason to be angry with John Bialzek at the moment. On the contrary, it was he who should be angry with her, once she told him what she had done... "Yeah," she sighed. "Clark and I are working on the Messenger story..." Lois winced. Why did she have to mention Clark's name? Unfortunately, John caught on her slip. "Clark? Who's he? A new reporter?" "Who, Clark?" Lois squeaked. "I told you about Clark, remember? He was the guy Perry interviewed earlier this week. Perry assigned Clark to me for the Messenger story." "Your boss 'assigned' him to you?" John inquired. "I guess you weren't thrilled with the idea." "Definitely not," Lois replied. "But there was no one else, and I couldn't possibly do this story alone." "Yeah, that would certainly put a cramp on our relationship," John agreed. In a teasing voice, he asked, "Should I be jealous?" Lois gulped. For a moment she contemplated telling him right now, telling him the truth and asking for his forgiveness. But that wasn't the way she wanted to tell him, on the phone, with him thousands of miles away. (Where was his grandmother's funeral anyway?) No, it would be cowardly. Face to face was better. So Lois decided to do the more cowardly thing: lie. "Err, no. He's just working for me." "Working for you, huh?" John quipped, with laughter in his voice. Anticipating some kind of retort from Lois, he continued. "Oh, the reason I was calling you. I'm taking an earlier flight. Instead of tomorrow night, I'm coming in tomorrow afternoon. Estimated arrival time from Dallas: 3:40 P.M., your time." "That's great," Lois said, though not enthusiastically. What was wrong with her? "I'm planning on coming in tomorrow, so I'll get off early to pick you up." "No, no, no," John argued. "I had a feeling you would be working, being on the Messenger story and all. You have to get to the bottom of this, Lois. I know you want to. I'll just get a cab." "All right," Lois agreed. "But let's go somewhere for dinner, okay?" "Deal," John said. After they said their good-byes, Lois' stomach grumbled again, reminding her of the necessity of getting fed tonight. Oh well, it should take Clark a while, so she'll just have to wait. Fortunately (or unfortunately?) for Lois, she didn't have to wait long. She barely picked up one of the scribbled notes of paper that she was looking at when Clark set down a couple of bamboo containers of Chinese food. 'Bamboo? Where did he get this food? From China?' "That was quick," Lois remarked. "I took a short cut," Clark offered. There, he did it again, Clark realized. He was trying to impress Lois. "And still hot!" Lois said approvingly. She took off the lid on one of the containers and helped herself. "Oh!" she cried, after taking a bite. "This is out of this world!" Where did he get this? How was it possible for a guy who's been in Metropolis for only a short while (only a couple of weeks, she recalled) to find good Chinese takeout? She didn't recall any of the other places nearby the Planet that served food this good. Lois made a mental note to ask him about this later. After finishing their meal, both Lois and Clark took upon the task of opening their fortune cookies. Lois opened hers first and frowned. It's in Chinese!" she said, puzzled. Clark tried not to groan. Of course it was in Chinese. Yet again, Clark had done something to compromise his secret. Putting that thought out of his mind for now, he took Lois' fortune and glanced at it. Lois' eyes widened. "Oh, don't tell me that you read..." she started, with disbelief in her voice. "'A good horse is like a member of the family'," he translated, and handed the fortune back. "I hate that! That is not a fortune!" Lois complained. Clark could only chuckle as he tried discreetly put his fortune in his pocket. Lois, however, noticed, and was about to comment, when her eyes met his. Again, their eyes locked, and again, time stood still around them. 'No!' she mentally screamed. 'Not again!' She jerked her eyes away from Clark's and stumbled out of her chair. Clark reached over, ready to steady her, but Lois swatted his arm away and took a step backwards, away from him. "We have to talk," she said, shakily. "You're right," Clark sighed. Lois began pacing back and forth. "What happened last night... what we did... it was a mistake. It was unforgivable." Clark's heart sank. She was completely right. It was all his fault, and she hated him now. "I'm so sorry," he said earnestly. Not really listening, Lois continued her tirade. "Just shameful," she declared. "I'm really sorry," he repeated. Clark's word's finally registered into Lois' consciousness. What was *he* apologizing for? "What? No, not you, me! I kissed you last night. How could I kiss you?" Now it was Clark's turn to be confused. "No, it was I who kissed you." Lois stopped pacing. "No," she argued, "I was the one who kissed you." "No, believe me," Clark assured her, "I..." "Okay, fine," Lois cut him off. "We kissed each other. Look, Clark, you're a darned nice guy, and attractive to boot. I don't know what happened, but I do know that I'm seeing someone right now, and so are you, and what we did was so wrong, and you have to understand that." "Yes, understood completely. I consider you attractive as well, and there's this weird chemistry between you and I that I don't really understand. But, I promise you it will never, ever, ever happen again," Clark said feeling very much relieved. So Lois didn't hate him; instead, she was as remorseful as he was. A prospect for the two of them becoming friends would be very nice. Since a relationship with Lois was completely out of the question, a friendship would be the next best thing for Clark. There was, however, one issue left to be discussed... "Do you think we can continue working together?" he asked. "We have to," Lois said firmly. "We're in too deep with the Messenger story. And as much as I hate to admit it..." she let out a dry chuckle. "... we do work well together. And something tells me you want to get to the bottom of this as much as I do." "Yeah, I do," Clark admitted. "I guess you never had a partner before, huh?" "No, I'd always worked alone. Except once." There was no way Lois was going to tell Clark about her embarrassing encounter with Claude. "It was easier." Clark nodded in understanding, and extended his hand. "Friends?" Lois smiled, feeling that the situation was now under control. She was about to take his hand when she remembered something. Reaching out with both hands, she took his hand into hers and used her left to pat Clark's hand, just like Perry did. "Don't want to get my hand crushed," she explained. Clark could only blush in embarrassment. He really needed to watch his grip. "Okay, serious talk over," Lois announced. "Come on, let's go find Platt. Maybe he can help us decipher this." She indicated the mess of papers on her desk. Quickly Clark grabbed his jacket and followed her out of the newsroom. Neither of them noticed a man and a woman, hiding in a darkened area of the newsroom, watching them intently. * * * * * * * * ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 3 May 2000 15:57:00 -0400 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Anita Dicker Subject: Re: NEW: John and Lois and Clark and Joan (aka L&C&J&J) (9/?)

RL intruded ... again! :) Amy *** Lois shuddered some as she and Clark stepped into the foyer at her mother's house. "I feel a little like I'm sneaking in after being out all night," she whispered. Clark raised an eyebrow. "All night, Lois?" he asked. "So I got an early start on stakeout duty. That's how I found out the lunch lady was having an affair with the principal in the school kitchen office after hours," Lois replied matter-of-factly. "Oh, of course," Clark swept his hand before him in an "after-you" gesture. As Lois started rummaging around her mother's living room, looking for anything that might help the investigation, Clark headed upstairs to look. "Henderson sure seemed interested in that black plastic gadget we found," he called to her. "Yeah," Lois spoke quietly. She knew he could hear her. "I'm glad he agreed to let it go to Dr. Klein so we can both find out what it is." Lois looked over her mother's antique rolltop desk, then pulled the roller part up to slide into place and reveal the almost-empty desktop. "Hello," she whistled. "What?" Instantly, Clark appeared by her side. "Mother's day planner .and a bunch of letters. Looks like recent post marks." Lois picked them up and started thumbing through them. "Not your typical bills, either. Take a look." She handed them to Clark and started paging through her mother's day planner. "All postmarked Boston; no return address," Clark riffled the envelopes in his hands at superspeed, reading the postmarks. "She started getting these about six months ago." "Six months ago," Lois paged back through her mother's planner. "Got a date?" "March 9," Clark said. "March 9, Mother had lunch with some friends," Lois said slowly. "She'd had regular lunches, assorted other activities in the weeks before that." Lois turned the page to the following week. "Then, it looks like she cancelled some engagements. See the crosses through these items? And then, nothing." S he flipped through a few more. "Wait. About two months ago, she started putting AA meetings back on the calendar." "Alcoholics Anonymous?" Clark asked. "Yeah." Lois looked quickly through the rest of the book. "Not much else listed here. You know, Clark, she'd stopped going to AA meetings regularly a couple of years ago. Mother just didn't believe she needed them any more. Life was finally good for her, Clark." Lois blinked back unexpected tears. "She had friends. She was sober. Sure, she meddled in my life and Lucy's life, but I think that made her happy, too." "Ellen loves you both," Clark said quietly, putting an arm around his wife. "Sometimes I think her meddling is just a way she shows how much she does care about you and your sister." "Clark, that's it," Lois straightened. "She stopped meddling." "What do you mean?" "I haven't seen Mother, up until the last few days, for weeks; I've barely talked to her on the phone. I chalked that up to my being busy, but, Clark, Mother usually makes the calls. Mother meddles." Lois looked at the letters, still in Clark's other hand. "Mother wants to be part of our lives." "And she hasn't made the calls, she hasn't meddled, she hasn't been real part of our lives in at least a few weeks," Clark picked up the thought. He looked at his wife for a long moment. "Something about these letters - or whoever sent them - affected your mother in such a way that she wanted to cut off all contact with her family, and felt it necessary to start attending AA meetings again." "And where was I?" Lois collapsed on Ellen's couch. "I was too busy with my life to find out what was going on with her." "You can't blame yourself for that, Lois," Clark reasoned. "Her methods of being part of our lives leave a little to be desired." "She's my mother, Clark," Lois said. "I should have been there for her." "You couldn't have known," Clark answered, sitting next to her. "Ellen didn 't make it easy for you to find out what's going on." "No, and with Daddy not there for her, either - " Lois broke off the thought. "Daddy." She turned to face Clark. "Daddy said he got an infusion of money from a think tank, money that kept him in his lab. Clark, do you think there could be a connection?" "Possibly." Clark looked at the letters. "I guess we have to read these. There doesn't seem to be much choice here, does there?" "Not if we want to know what happened to Mother." *** ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 3 May 2000 18:53:16 -0400 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Kasspur Subject: Re: OT Re: Sympathy for ABC... ;) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I wanted to post this article about the FCC's ruling against Time Warner- looks like ABC/Disney won out in the end (par usual). :( This is from an AOL news article. http://my.aol.com/news/story.tmpl?table=n&cat=0180&id=0005030414170388 Kara ________________________________________________________________________ I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. ______________________________________________________________ I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated. ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 4 May 2000 08:34:52 EDT Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Charlotte Fisler Subject: Re: OT Re: Sympathy for ABC... ;) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 5/2/00 2:55:00 PM !!!First Boot!!!, LaneKent@AOL.COM writes: << owever that still doesn't stop me from being slightly delighted that ABC has some hassle.

Lois fumed. "Who wouldn't understand? What boat? What's to explain?" "Lois, let's read them all before we panic," Clark said soothingly. He picked up the plain white typing paper that had lain in the envelope. "No date, no address, no greeting. Just three lines typed in the middle of the page. On paper anybody could buy at their nearest office supply store." "Well, obviously, these aren't your garden variety letters," Lois gestured toward the stack on the Planet's conference room table. For privacy, they'd drawn the shades facing the newsroom. "Apparently not. Ready for the next one?" At Lois's nod, Clark continued down the pile. They had agreed to read them in order of appearance. "It's not wise to ignore me, Ellen. All your high class friends would love to know this." "Don't you think you owe me?" "I might have to get more persistent, Ellen. You know what I want." Clark frowned. "It sounds as if she's being blackmailed." Lois got up, opened the conference room door and yelled, "Jimmy!" Jimmy screeched to a halt in front of the door. "What's up guys?" "Jimmy, could you get into my mother's bank records?" "Uh, yeah, I guess, Lois," Jimmy said cautiously. "What bank, and what am I looking for?" "It's First Bank of Metropolis, and you're looking for any regular patterns of withdrawals or deposits over the last six months," Lois said. "I'm on it as soon as I get this copy to the Chief," Jimmy said, taking off for Perrys office. "Lois, you know we weren't supposed to use Jimmy," Clark mentioned. Lois shrugged. "So I'll make it up to him later. This is important." Clark just shook his head. "Ready for more?" "I suppose," Lois said reluctantly. "It's hard to hear this stuff aimed at my own mother." Suddenly Clark cocked his head in the familiar "listening" position. "What?" Lois asked. "Sounds like an explosion." "Go," she said. "Ill take care of-- " A whoosh as Clark headed for the conference room window had her holding down the stack of letters. "--reading these." Lois settled in to read. "You're in hot water now, Ellen. Was it as hot then?" "How can you stand to live with yourself? You're so pathetic." "I wish I could see your face now, Ellen. I love watching you squirm." "I'm watching you now." "I wish you knew who I am. It would make it more delicious." As the minutes faded into hours, Lois read until her eyes were sore. She came up for air only as Clark came back in through the window, more than two hours later. "Hi," Lois said, rubbing her eyes. Clark leaned into kiss her. When they broke apart, she asked, "What happened?" "There was an explosion at the city dump; it took awhile to get the blaze under control. The fire marshal seems to think it might have been a case of spontaneous combustion, but it's under investigation." Clark settled in next to her again. "I decided to head home and take a shower before I came back. I didn't feel like wearing 'Eau de Garbage' this afternoon." "Thank you," Lois said gravely, then giggled. "I wonder how we'd explain that?" "Yeah, especially since Clark Kent has been sitting in this room for all that time," Clark raised a hand to her face. "It's been a while since you've smiled like that." "I know." Lois turned her lips into his palm. "Thank you for making me smile. Thank you for all the help and support. I feel stronger with you." Clark looked at her lovingly. "You and I together-- " "--are stronger than me alone," Lois finished for him. She kissed him again, just as Jimmy opened the door. "Hey, guys, sorry to interrupt." Jimmy bounced into the room and handed Lois a stack of paper. "Your mother's bank records. Seems pretty standard, Lois; I didn't notice any particular pattern. She gets a healthy alimony check from your dad every month, but that's about all I saw as being a regular thing. Maybe you can spot something different." "Thanks, Jimmy," Lois said, then started looking through the stack. "You're welcome, Lois," Jimmy said as he turned to leave. "Oh!" He turned back. "I hope your mother is OK, Lois." "Thank you, Jimmy; I appreciate your concern," Lois smiled at him. As Jimmy shut the door, she handed the stack to Clark. "What do you see?" Clark riffled through the paper at superspeed, then set the stack aside. "Jimmy's right, Lois. There are no unusual patterns of money leaving your mother's account." "Then what can this person want from her? Other than to drive her crazy," Lois put her elbows on the table and rested her chin in her hands. "These letters are downright scary. They allude to some kind of event she wouldn't want known, but they also rip at her worth as a person. It's almost like someone is stalking her." Clark picked up the letters, now carefully opened and spread out in a stack, and riffled through them, too. "I see what you mean." He set the stack down and looked at it. "I guess my question is who wants to see your mother driven to drink again? Who wants to ruin her self-esteem? And why?" "I don't know," Lois sighed. "I wish I could talk to Mother." A knock at the door got their attention before it opened. Perry stood on the other side. "Ah, Lois, honey, your Dad's on the phone. Your mother's conscious." "Conscious?" Lois jumped up. "He says you might want to come see her. But, Lois, Ellen can't talk. Sam seemed to think she recognized him, but Im not sure how much of that is wishful thinking, honey," Perry looked at the paper blizzard on the conference room table. "If you want, you can leave this. There's nothing scheduled in here until tomorrow morning, and I can keep people out of here." Clark spoke up. "Thanks, Perry, but we'll collect all this before we go. It won't take long." "Suit yourself," Perry left the conference room. Clark shut the door, and blurred for a moment. When he came to a stop, all the papers were stacked, bound and in his closed briefcase. "Let's go, sweetheart," he held a hand out to Lois. *** ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 4 May 2000 17:57:39 +0100 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: Time Elapsed (8/?)

It's an intriguing story! s p o i l e r s p a c e I loved Clark telling Perry that they'd tidy the conference room before they left, and then doing it at Super-speed! Nasty letters... hurry up and tell us where they came from! Oh, and one minor point: when I read part 7, where you had Clark sift through the letters at Super-speed looking for a return address, originally I thought he'd read them then and it was only later, when Lois (?) said they'd need to read them that I realised he hadn't - you might want to make that clearer.

Many of them have gone into cyberspace. While there's an incredible variety of fanfic sites out there, unless you know where you're going beforehand, your particular fannish interest may be hard to find. One excellent place to start is the FanFiction.net, which indexes and displays fanfic stories (and sometimes poems) inspired by many different fictional worlds. The directory and indexing are excellent. Anime and Star Wars each have categories of their own. There are a huge number of subcategories under "TV Shows," and separate "books" groupings for "Fantasy" and "Science Fiction--Miscellaneous." In these latter two departments, the stories use a wide range of settings, from obscure book series to Greek mythology to worlds wholly original to an author. Best of all, there's the opportunity to add a review, and/or to read story reviews by previous readers, giving the authors the direct feedback that's always been a benefit of fanfic writing.

I've posted to this site in another fandom, and I noticed then that Lois and Clark isn't represented there. Upon further investigation brought on by Debby's message, I found that the Lois and Clark category is... empty! And this just can't go on! I think that the many wonderful, great authors of Lois and Clark fanfiction should get on over there and upload their fics. It's painless--you sign in as an author, and simply copy paste your story. And the nice thing is, if people review your story, you can choose to have those reviews emailed to you. Instant feedback! Another nice thing, you give your story a rating, and up to NC-17 is allowed there. So... let's fill up that category! cerise ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 5 May 2000 01:38:34 EDT Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Singin Drew Subject: New Story: Untitled 1/2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable This story is still looking for a title. Any FDK is welcome, pub/priv. Enjoy= ! Untitled Lois stared into the mirror. She questioned the huge decision she was about=20 to make. She knew marriage was the right step for her. It was the next step.= =20 Her career was going great; well, it was until her office got blown up. But Lex had found her an even better job working at his television station.=20 She was writing the stories for the newscaster which was very exciting work.= =20 She got to create the news as it happened. It left no time for investigating= =20 which was generally her favorite part, but if she couldn't work for the Dail= y=20 Planet, she didn't want to work for any newspaper. So here she was, on her wedding day, staring at herself in the mirror,=20 wondering if life was supposed to work out this way. She was marrying the=20 most powerful man in the world. A man who was charming, charismatic,=20 handsome, suave, debonair, and who loved her. What more could a girl ask for= ?=20 She wasn't sure if she loved him, but love was nothing but a fairy tale=20 nowadays anyway. The man she thought she loved didn't reciprocate her=20 feelings. She might as well marry Lex and enjoy the lifestyle and the new=20 realm she was about to enter. Lois looked into the mirror once more. She tried to envision herself hosting= =20 Lex's gala events, his dinner parties, his philanthropic affairs. She saw=20 herself sitting at the head of the table in an elegant black evening gown,=20 sipping champagne from Waterford crystal flutes. She saw the gold-plated=20 dishes she was eating from as well as the satin and lace tablecloth.=20 Everything was perfectly exquisite. Lois looked across the table and into th= e=20 eyes of the man she was going to spend the rest of her life with. She saw hi= s=20 glowing brown eyes, his luxurious dark hair, and his crooked smile- "Clark?!" Lois shouted. "What was that dear?" her mother asked her absently as she adjusted her=20 daughter's dress. "Oh, nothing," Lois said, so as not to worry her mother. How on Earth could she see Clark? She was supposed to be envisioning her lif= e=20 when it was perfect and she was happy, and here she was picturing Clark. Yes= ,=20 she did miss having him in her life. He was her support, her best friend; he= =20 pushed her to her limits but was always there with a lifeline when she went=20 too far. But where was he now? He was supposed to support her. Why couldn't=20 he support her on this big important occasion in her life? Because he loved her. He had told her so only days before. But she told him=20 she didn't share his feelings. Wasn't she telling the truth? As far as she=20 knew, she was. She would never knowingly lie to Clark. Well, at least not=20 without feeling extremely guilty. And now, as she gazed at the confused image staring back at her, she wondere= d=20 if she made the wrong choice. "Lois Lane-Luthor." Lois didn't like the sound of that. "Lois Luthor-Lane." She tried that and realized how bad it sounded as well.=20 The tears streamed down her face. "Lois Lane." She said dismally. The thought struck her: if she didn't marry=20 Lex, she'd be alone. Again. Being alone wasn't all that bad. She had her wor= k=20 and her friends. *All of whom are gone now.* Lois sobbed even more. The=20 thought of not having Perry or Jimmy or even Cat around made her even more=20 miserable. They were her family and now they were gone. Even Clark. Not a=20 single one of her so-called friends were coming to her wedding. They were=20 against it from the start. *But they don't know Lex like I do. They don't=20 know his caring, giving side.* Lois wasn't really sure she knew that side of= =20 him, but she couldn't back out now. There were too many people expecting her= =20 to marry him. Counting on her marrying him. She couldn't let all those=20 people down. But what about Perry and Jimmy and Clark? By marrying Lex,=20 wasn't she letting them down? They were the one's who really mattered. They=20 were the ones whose opinions actually mattered to Lois. "Lois Lane." She said again dejectedly. But then a thought occurred to her. "Kent."=20 "Lois Lane-Kent." Lois' sobbing quieted down some. At that moment she knew.=20 She loved Clark. She took a moment and let that thought register. Her mind was swirling.=20 Everything was different now that she knew she loved Clark. But he was gone.= =20 She had lost him. He had told her he loved her and she pushed him away. And=20 for what? For who? Lex? Superman?=20 Superman. Her fantasy man. Deep down she knew he was a fantasy and someone=20 she could never have. Not that it stopped her from trying. But after she tol= d=20 him she loved him, he let her know there could never be anything between=20 them. Lois was so hurt and angry and upset she ran into Lex's open arms. She= =20 didn't have to worry about being hurt by Lex. She didn't really love him. Bu= t=20 he was safe. If she didn't open her heart to him, he could never hurt her.=20 But then she'd be living a lie. "Lois Lane." Lois' shoulders slumped over as her body wracked with sorrow. Her tears=20 enveloped her whole being. Her thoughts were only of how horrible she had=20 been to the one man who had truly loved her. She pushed him away and then ra= n=20 into the arms of another man. If she were in his position, she would have=20 left the country. But she wasn't in his position; she was in her position.=20 About to marry a man she didn't love, without any friends, and stuck in her=20 soon-to-be husband's world. "It's time to go dear," Lois heard her mother say. "But Mom=E2=80=A6" Lois looked for comfort from her mother, but realized her= mother=20 was never able to give that. Only one person had ever given that to her, but= =20 he wasn't there. And she needed Clark there. *But he's not here. And right now, Lex is,* Lois thought bitterly at first,=20 but then changed the thought to hope. Maybe she could learn to love Lex. Sh= e=20 knew she would never feel about him the way she felt about Clark. Or even=20 Superman. But right now, Lex was her future.=20 Lois straightened herself up. She attempted to fix her make up and get rid o= f=20 the tear-stains on her cheeks. She set her face and followed her mother out=20 the door.=20 The wedding procession started. Lois looked down the narrow aisle and saw Le= x=20 smiling proudly at her. She tried to think of any happy memories she had wit= h=20 Lex. There were countless numbers of dinners and ballets and nights at the=20 theater. But she couldn't remember when she ever really laughed with him.=20 Her thoughts suddenly flooded with images of her and Clark. She remembered=20 his kiss when he was going to leave Metropolis. That kiss raced through her=20 body and lingered in parts of her she didn't know existed. Her heart=20 fluttered as his face came into view in her mind. The look in his eyes when=20 he told her he loved her showed nothing but caring and love. Lois didn't wan= t=20 to continue her life without him in it.=20 Lois met Lex at the front of the aisle. She scarcely heard the words by the=20 Archbishop. She heard Lex's "I do." But when it came time for her reply, no=20 words would come. She knew what the correct answer was but she couldn't forc= e=20 it out. She saw Lex's expectant face and then heard the most shocking sound. She heard herself say no. She couldn't believe it. Lex questioned her and=20 again came that shocking sound. She heard the crowd gasp and then the doors=20 of the chapel burst open. In stormed Perry and Jimmy followed by half of the= =20 Metropolis Police Department.=20 "You guys came!" Lois shouted exuberantly. She was so excited to see her=20 friends but also noticed Clark wasn't among the wedding-crashers. She also=20 wondered why they would show up with the police. She received her answer. "Lex Luthor, you're under arrest." She heard the detective shout. What happened next was all a blur. Lois remembered Lex saying goodbye to her= =20 and him racing out the door. But she couldn't remember very much of anything= =20 else. All she knew was everything was over. She didn't even have Lex anymore= .=20 And she knew she hadn't heard the last of his wrongdoings either. She caught= =20 a few of the charges thrown at Lex, but not all of them. She knew she would=20 get the full story later. Right now her mind was racing and she knew she=20 needed some air.=20 Perry noticed the color draining from her face. "Come on darlin', let's get you out of here." Lois blindly followed his instructions out toward the street. She stepped=20 onto the sidewalk and was about to question Perry about the previous events=20 when she heard him. She turned and saw Clark's worried face and knew she=20 wanted to be in his arms.=20 She ran to Clark and he held her tight. He always knew what she needed and=20 gave it to her unselfishly. How could she be such a fool and give that up?=20 She loved the feel of his arms around her and how safe and cared for she=20 felt. She let herself go completely in his arms. She could feel his hug=20 envelop her and his caresses soothe her frazzled nerves. All of a sudden their embrace was interrupted. She heard the crowd that had=20 gathered around them gasp and all eyes flew skyward. Lois saw Lex come=20 hurdling towards the ground but she couldn't force herself to look. She=20 buried her face deep in Clark's shoulder. She was trying so hard to erase th= e=20 sight of Lex's body pummeling toward her she even dropped her bouquet. She felt Clark's embrace tighten and she knew it was over. Lex, as well as=20 his empire, was officially over. His business dealings, his connections, his= =20 contracts were all now expired. She heard Perry mumble something to Clark bu= t=20 her mind couldn't make out any words. She was too distraught to even think.=20 The only thought running through her mind right now was the vision of Lex. I= t=20 wouldn't go away. ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 5 May 2000 01:42:54 EDT Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Singin Drew Subject: New Story: Untitled part 2/2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sorry guys..

All of a sudden, Loi= s=20 was extremely exhausted. She leaned into Clark's shoulder and closed her=20 eyes. Her eyes fluttered open when she felt Clark's arms wrap around her=20 gently and carry her into his apartment. She didn't have the strength to eve= n=20 lift her head to smile appreciatively.

He set them on the bed next to her and= =20 silently slipped out of the room. Lois gratefully slipped out of her gown an= d=20 put on the garments he set out for her. Minutes later, Clark returned carrying a tray with two cups of tea. He hande= d=20 one to Lois and sat down on the bed next to her. So far neither had said a=20 word since seeing each other.

"Why don't you get some sleep?" he whispered softly as he started to back ou= t=20 of the room.=20 Lois didn't want to be alone right now. She wanted him with her. She wanted=20 him to hold her tight and let her know everything would be okay. Especially=20 everything between the two of them. She finally found the part of her brain=20 that told her to speak. "Clark! Don't leave me," she cried out.=20 He raced over to the bed and had her in his arms instantly. Lois finally fel= t=20 the release of being in his arms while suddenly all her emotions filled her=20 at once. Tears rolled down her cheeks as Clark held her. She felt his hands=20 rubbing her back and smoothing her hair. She had never felt so scared. She=20 didn't know what to do anymore. In the last hour, her whole life had been=20 turned upside-down. An hour ago, she was on her way to marrying Lex Luthor,=20 content to spend the rest of her life with him. Now here she was crying in=20 Clark's arms, swaying with the rhythm of his body rocking back and forth=20 trying to calm her down. "I'm right here. It's gonna be okay," she heard him coo softly.=20 That's what she was looking for: confirmation. And she got it. But that=20 wasn't enough anymore. Now she wanted to feel Clark's protection, his love,=20 and his strength with her, surrounding her. "Please=E2=80=A6 stay with me" she requested from deep in his arms. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here." He ran his hand over her back=20 once more and squeezed her tighter for emphasis. Lois took comfort in this=20 gesture and finally let herself relax. Exhausted, she finally relented and=20 fell asleep in Clark's arms. Lois saw the whole scene replay in her dream over and over. She saw Lex=20 plummet towards the Earth, each time his body getting bigger and bigger unti= l=20 it took up the entire sky. All Lois could see was Lex's face everywhere she=20 turned. She looked all around her and noticed she was the only one around fo= r=20 miles. She screamed for help from someone, anyone. But her screams went=20 unanswered. She found herself in her wedding gown attempting to run. Lex's=20 ominous hand reached for her and proceeded to rip the veil from her head. He= =20 laughed as he toyed with her. Letting her run down streets only to stop her=20 at the end of them. He finally scooped her up in his large hand. Lois then=20 began to kick, scream, and bite at him, but to no avail. She knew he was=20 speaking but couldn't hear his words. All she could feel was sheer terror.=20 She felt Lex's hands on her, touching her, wanting her. She struggled from=20 his grasp and felt herself fall. She could hear Lex's menacing laugh as she=20 tumbled towards the ground. Her arms flailed about her as she saw the ground= =20 come racing toward her. She closed her eyes when she knew she would feel the= =20 impact of the Earth.=20 And then she felt the warmth. She felt his arms around her and him holding=20 her tight. Lois opened her eyes to see herself sitting in Clark's lap on his= =20 bedroom floor. She must have fallen out of bed, but how had he caught her?=20 She finally heard his voice. "Lois. Lois please wake up" he whispered worriedly. "Clark, what happened?" she questioned softly. "It's okay Lois. It was just a nightmare." He rocked her back and forth. Loi= s=20 was lulled into calmness by the sound of his heart beating softly in his=20 chest. "Do you want to tell me about it?" Clark suggested. "No," Lois whispered in a feeble attempt to forget. She couldn't bear the=20 thought of reliving that horrible nightmare. But this was Clark. She knew sh= e=20 would get eaten up inside if she didn't share it quickly. And Clark was the=20 one person she wanted to share things with.=20 "It was Lex. He was coming for me. Chasing me. He was as big as the sky=20 taking up everything. Everywhere I turned, he was there. I screamed for help= =20 and no one was there. I was all alone." Lois broke into tears, repeating she= =20 was all alone. "You're not alone now, Lois. I'm here." Clark replied. He lifted head to loo= k=20 into her eyes. "I'm here. Now and always, I'm here for you Lois." Lois looked deep into his= =20 eyes and knew that he meant it. But there was also something else there. She= =20 saw a cloud in his eyes she had never seen before.=20 "Clark? What is it?" After getting no reply, she tried again. "I can see it in your eyes. Please tell me." She wanted to know what was=20 troubling him. She didn't like that dark cloud that she saw. It looked like=20 pain. She hoped she hadn't been the one to cause it, even though deep down=20 she knew she had.=20 Silently, Clark led her into the kitchen and sat her down at the kitchen=20 table. He then continued to make two cups of tea. When he was finally ready,= =20 he poised himself in the seat next to Lois, took a deep breath and began to=20 speak. "Lois, I almost lost you. I couldn't stand the thought of not having you in=20 my life." He took her hands in his own and held them tight. "You're my best friend. I can't stand to see you hurting-" Lois cut him off. "What hurt was not having my friends with me. Not having my best friend=20 supporting me." She saw his eyes slink down towards the table. But she knew=20 it had to be said. She had been hurt by the actions of her friends. But, the= n=20 she realized she had hurt them too by not heeding their warnings. They were=20 looking out for her best interest and she just rebuffed their efforts.=20 Especially Clark's. "I had never felt so alone in my life." She paused to take a breath. "But=20 when I saw you on the street after it was all over, I knew." She stopped=20 suddenly, unsure of herself. Not sure if she should continue with what she=20 had to say. If she continued, their whole relationship would change. But if=20 she didn't, could she handle things the way they were?=20 "Lois, I'm sorry for what I said before. I would have said, done *anything*=20 to stop you from marrying Luthor. And I know I shouldn't have said-" She kne= w=20 where this was headed. She had to stop him before her said it and she lost=20 her nerve completely. "Clark, I love you." She said simply. "I mean it wasn't right to- what?" She heard the shock in his voice but she=20 also saw his eyes light up as the cloud behind his eyes began to fade.=20 "What did you just say?" He questioned her again. "I said I love you." She bit her lip waiting for his response. She was=20 incredibly scared. She opened herself up for the hurt she had blocked from=20 her life. If he turned her down, she knew everything in her life was gone.=20 Lex, Clark, Superman. Maybe he didn't feel the same way anymore. Maybe he=20 really did only say it to stop her from marrying Lex. Maybe he thought she=20 wasn't in her right mind to be saying such things. Maybe he thought- The pressure of Clark's lips upon hers suddenly interrupted her thoughts.=20 Lois rose up to meet the pressure and felt her heart start to race. Her head= =20 began to swim. Was this what she wanted? Is this the way she wanted things=20 between them?=20 "Lois, I love you. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I'm sorry for hurting=20 you the way I did," she heard him say in between kisses. It was then that sh= e=20 knew the answer to her question. Yes, she did want things this way between=20 them.=20 "Oh Clark, I'm sorry too. You were right all along and I just couldn't see=20 it. I was too stubborn and pig-headed. I almost lost you too." She started t= o=20 cry. She couldn't believe her stupidity. How could she pass up this to be=20 with Lex? Lex was nothing compared to Clark. Clark was so kind and giving,=20 compassionate as well as strong. Lex wasn't half the man Clark was. When the= =20 fire inside of them had finally settled down, somewhat, Lois decided she=20 needed to tell Clark. "Clark, I said no to Lex." She admitted. "What?" Clark asked in disbelief. "I just couldn't. I was walking down the aisle and I saw him at the end and=20 then I thought of you. I thought of when I first met you and when I'd almost= =20 lost you before, and I couldn't bear not being with you, having you with me=20 everyday. God, I missed you so much." She saw the tears well up in his eyes=20 this time. She reached over and pulled him close to her again. She wanted to= =20 feel his lips on hers again. She hoped the exciting, magnetic rush she felt=20 whenever they touched would never end. "I missed you too." She reached over and wiped the tears off his cheeks. Her= =20 hand caressed his cheek. She didn't want this ever to end. She wanted him to= =20 know exactly how she felt about him but only one thought would come to mind.= =20 "Thank you, Clark," she said looking deep into his eyes. "For what?" he asked curiously. "For being you. And for loving me."=20 "Lois, I thank God everyday for bringing you into my life. You, and now your= =20 love as well," he replied. His kiss deepened and Lois felt like she had=20 finally come home. She had never felt that feeling when she had been with=20 Lex. Even when they would discuss the plans for their new home together. She= =20 never felt like any of it belonged to her. Everything had always belonged to= =20 Lex and she was able to borrow it all. She knew Clark would never make her=20 feel like that. She also knew she didn't need belongings because she finally= =20 felt she belonged. And she did belong, with Clark. Forever. She settled deep= =20 into Clark's embrace and felt his kiss envelop her.=20 She planned to stay that way forever.=20 *************************************************************** Thank you and good night.

It seems to be an automatic uploading process; the software takes the story from your hard drive and the site is updated every 15 minutes. But I do agree with Pam: the fewer glaring errors in a story the better! That's something which does put me off reading. By the way, as well as the 'author' section of the site, there is a section called 'editors,' but so far I haven't been able to gain access to that. It won't let me sign in - or register - under the same email address as I registered for the 'author' section with. Well done to everyone who's been uploading their stories - this site will never replace 'our' Archive, but it will show other fanfic readers that people *do* write Lois and Clark fic. And who knows - we might pick up readers who wouldn't have sought out L&C fic, as well. >From 0 stories last night at midnight our time, we now have 25 in the category. That's good going!

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Even though Clark flew them to the hospital, they didn't get there fast enough. Sam met them at the nurses' station in the Intensive Care Unit to tell them Ellen had just lost consciousness again. "They tell me she could do this for days," Sam said quietly. "The fact that she regained consciousness at all, and doesn't seem to be in a coma, is a good sign, Princess." Lois sighed. "I really wish we could talk to her. We've got more questions than we have answers at this point - although we've found some indication that she wasn't responsible for the accident." Sam looked startled. "Really?" he asked hopefully. "Let's go sit down, Sam," Clark gestured to the same, familiar, battered waiting room. They clustered together in the same set of chairs as the day before. Lois spotted her father's briefcase lying on an end table, a big blue medical book lying on top of it. She picked it up. "Advances in Neurology?" Lois questioned. Sam shrugged. "Let's just say I got some good advice this morning." He met Clark's eyes. "And I'm following up on it. Did you know that for all its delicacy, the brain can actually sustain a lot of damage before a patient can no longer live? There's some doctors who speculate Abraham Lincoln might not have died of his gunshot wound to the head if his attending physician hadn't poked his finger into the wound several times." "Really?" Lois flipped through a few pages. "It all depends on how much blunt trauma the brain actually sustained, at what force," Sam's voice took on a professorial tone. "There's a reason our skulls are so thick. It's to protect the brain from serious injury from blunt force trauma. It's hard to tell what kind of damage a brain injury will do. Doctors make their best guess based on the area of the brain affected, but a lot of healing lies with the patient. The speed at which your mother got here after the injury, and the quick work by her surgeons, helped to minimize the damage." He stopped. "But we still don't know how she'll be ultimately affected, do we, Sam?" Clark asked with worried eyes. "Ultimately, no, we're not sure," Sam said. "But I intend to stay here and help with whatever I can." "Won't that make the guys at your think tank - what were their names? - upset with you?" Lois asked diffidently, still paging through the book. Clark looked at her sharply. Sam didn't notice. "MorphCorp could care less, as long as I deliver their product on time - and that's no problem. I finished it about a week ago. I called your mother to celebrate." He laid his head in his hands, rubbing his face vigorously before looking up. "She wouldn't go out with me. Said I'd ignored her for weeks! 'How can you expect me to jump on your say so?'" he mimicked Ellen's most strident tone. "Daddy, we've discovered some things that might have made Mother react that way," Lois said, laying the book back down on the briefcase and taking her father's hand. Clark continued. "Someone was sending Ellen threatening letters, starting about six months ago. We crosschecked the letters against her day planner, and found she started to cancel engagements after she got the first one. She added AA meetings about two months ago, and she's deliberately cut herself off from family since." Sam looked at Clark thoughtfully. "Six months ago?" "Daddy, when did MorphCorp start funding your research?" Lois looked intently at her father. "Well, I don't know the date offhand; you know I'm not good at keeping track of details, Princess," Sam mused. "It wasn't all that long ago." "Think, Daddy," Lois urged. "Did you write it down somewhere?" "I might have," Sam eyed his briefcase. "Let's check my day planner." He set the book aside, picked up the case and opened it. Taking out his calendar, Sam raised an eyebrow. "Date?" "Check March 9," Clark said quietly. Sam paged through the book until he found the date. "I had a lunch meeting with the bigwigs from MorphCorp that day. I almost missed it, if I recall correctly, because I was pretty deeply into my own project. But it was shortly after that we got the money for their product." "What product?" Lois asked. "It's a gadget that interrupts normal brain rhythms to interject other, preset patterns. Actually, I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but it might even help your mother!" Sam jumped up. "It's supposed to stimulate the brain in various areas to help jumpstart them. MorphCorp told us they planned to use it to enhance responses of soldiers in the field. You know, military applications. But if it could be used otherwise -" "Daddy," Lois interrupted Sam's line of thought. "Why you?" "Oh!" Sam sat back down. "They said my work with cyberkinetics made me a good choice. It all runs via computer." Lois and Clark looked at each other for a long moment. *** ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 5 May 2000 13:50:05 -0400 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Pam Jernigan Organization: http://www.geocities.com/~chiefpam/ Subject: Re: Other Fanfic sites MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Well done to everyone who's been uploading their stories - this site will > never replace 'our' Archive, but it will show other fanfic readers that > people *do* write Lois and Clark fic.

It's your call, but it determines the first impression that people will get of you and your story. I know a lot of people blow off editing--but I'll tell ya. I read a lot of fanfic. And I've gotten picky. My time is short, and it's valuable to me. If I start to see a lot of errors-- lots of simple spelling errors that show me they didn't even care enough to run a spell check; wrong word usage that tells me they didn't even bother to reread their own story-- I quit reading. If an author isn't going to go to the trouble to do the simplest things right, the technicalities, then why should I think they can handle the more difficult things, characterization and plot? Sure I've probably missed a few good stories, but I am simply too distracted by the errors to pay attention. And it's not like I'm a total hard case about it, we all make mistakes and I'm not saying that if a story's not perfect I won't read it, not at all. It's just when it's obvious that the author didn't even make an effort--then I feel like they don't respect me as a reader, and I simply move on to one of the many, many stories written by awesome authors who do. And I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I have a lot of online friends who do the exact same thing. Just food for thought. cerise whew, this is way too many posts in way too few days; I have *never* posted this much!

They do? While it isn't always the most enjoyable part of the writing process, I can't imagine writing a story without editing it. For all you non-editors out there, why *wouldn't* you edit a story before releasing it? I edit partially because I'm a perfectionist, the same reason why I reread emails before clicking "send"; I don't like making mistakes. Another reason I like to edit (sometimes perhaps to a fault, because I'm sure editing doesn't *always* make the story better) is that a story can be very powerful. Lots of fanfics (and "real" published stories) can be fluffy, and without much substance, but I always hope my writing says something. And I want to make sure it's saying what I meant it to say. >I read a lot of >fanfic. And I've gotten picky.

I do too. I didn't used to; back when I had more time on my hands I read anything I could find. But my time lately has been precious and, while reading fanfic is an enjoyable hobby, I can't let it take up all my time. I also know that the time I spend reading fanfic takes away from the time I am able to spend writing, so I don't read as much anymore. And if an author doesn't even care to reread her own work, well, then, why should I read it?

(I know that should have an accent or two, but I don't know how to do them) I've been contacted by a french fan who's done up a website all in french -- one of the features is a listing of the TUFS and Seasons 5 and 6 episodes, with short summaries of each. If you're an author of any of those, or even a fan, you might enjoy browsing. I have a fuzzy understanding of French from high school, so I was able to get the sense of it -- of course, it helped that I knew what the episodes were about to start with ;) So if you're interested, check out: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/hyperion.avenue/ Enjoy :) -- Pam Jernigan / ChiefPam / jernigan@bellsouth.net http://www.geocities.com/~chiefpam Jason: "Brandon, I remember you from the convention, right?

Anyone who hasn't yet read Chris Carr's Learning Curves, may I recommend that you RUN over to the Archive and read it NOW? It starts off as a rewrite of Strange Visitor, but there's a lot more to it than that. It's wonderfully written: Chris has such a talent for evocatice, lyrical prose, and her handling of what's a deeply emotional story in parts is excellent. I loved every word of this story, and thoroughly recommend it!

Chris has written a Lois Lane who is so frighteningly accurate it's positively spooky. I loved this one to bits when I read it. Definitely a must read.

As far as I know, no one has written any fanfics that continue with the S6 continuity. Actually, wait, there has been one -- Pam Jernigan's very cute "Lessons". But that story picks up several years after S6, and doesn't follow directly from our series finale.
