Some Excerpts
I'm a diehard fan of the L&C stories and of the Fanfic Messageboards, but my interest in the ABC TV show is... lukewarm, at best. But several years ago, somebody sent me a few stories about Lois and Clark. I loved some of those stories, got bored by others, and saved the stories on the hard disk of the computer I had at the time. But then the stories got lost somehow and I got a new computer. And then - when was it? In July or August 2005? - I just felt severely Lois and Clark fanfic-deprived, so I surfed the net and found the Fanfic Messageboards....Okay, confession, confession. I can't remember seeing even a single episode in its entirety! I'm not saying I never have seen an episode from beginning to end, but I am saying that if I have, I can't remember it. But I can remember snatches of episodes that made an impression on me.
I like both Clark and Lois very, very much, but I find, nevertheless, that I tend to prefer the stories that are told from Lois's point of view, and which somehow take her part. I don't much like stories which blame Lois a lot and treat her like someone who deserves to be punished.
To me, it is the constancy of the idea that Lois and Clark belong to one another, even though they were born light-years apart. Their truly cosmic bond. These two people have been in love with one another since Superman was created as a character back in 1938. Lois was there in the very first issue of Action Comics, the comic book that introduced Superman to the world. And I also love the fact that Lois and Clark are, on the surface, a normal, almost everyday couple... and then it turns out that their relationship and their life together is so extraordinary. I mean, just think about it. What would it be like to be the only woman ever who is loved by the only man ever who can fly?
