First of all, DV Ch. 27 outline is finished and discussed! My beta and I had quite the series of emails over a certain subject. Maybe you all could weigh in:
What do you think Lois and Clark would have turned in for their first story after the Zod incident? As we all know from Superman II, Lois and Clark were on assignment in Niagara Falls when Lois discovered Clark's identity. From there, they went to the Fortress and... enjoyed spending time together.... while Zod and his cronies terrorized Earth.
So, the issue is... which of these scenarios do you find the most likely?
a) After Superman saved the Earth, Lois and Clark ignored the honeymoon article, and focused on the big story - Zod. Lois' writing was not up to snuff due to being a basket case. Clark super-kissed her and she went back to being good ol' Lois.
b) Lois and Clark glossed over what happened at the Fortress (to protect Superman and the location of the Fortress). They turned in the honeymoon article. Lois behaved as if she was not in the loop, for the first time ever regarding Superman... was a basket case... super-kiss... see a)
c) They decided to write both, probably not up to the usual standards due to all the drama they just went through. basket case... kiss... blah blah.
d) Some other idea?
Basically, my chapter is not GREATLY affected by which one of these I decide to use. I will not tell you which one I lean toward, I'll just say that each of these choices has its proponents. The point is, Perry will have noticed Lois' odd behavior after the Zod incident, and then will have also noticed that she seemed back to her old self.
Finally, I have 322 words done! Teaser later.

I hope you finish soon. I need my DV fix!!!!
evilcoy and wait until I have it written before I tell which one I'm using.Well, between watching Smallville and finishing Lost... (and playing Candyland with Ashlyn) I didn't get anything done tonight.
I have high hopes for tomorrow, though!
Great news things have gone so well!
Anyway, thanks for your input!
That's one way to put it. ;-) Makin' babies can be quite enjoyable... *giggles*
As for the Zod article, I must admit...I never even considered an article at all. D'oh. But I'd be inclined to think any highly-detailed info regarding the Fortress would be left out. I mean, there'd be enough with what went down in Metropolis for the meat of the piece, then...I dunno. They could wrap up what happened by saying it all went down "in an undisclosed location." *shrugs* I think it's too late at night for me to think of a good scenario, though. *looks longingly at her pillow and blankie and yawns*
Anyway, you make good points, too. Which we have discussed some versions of. These emails (10 pages on this topic alone) are about normal for a chapter. And usually I either change my mind, or disagree and go my own way, but I am waffling on this one. So thanks for the input! I'm starting to develop a firmer stance.
Thanks for the input!
I wanted the icon with Margot Kidder, and forgot which one was it!
Looks like most people have the same opinion right now. I'm still going to be quiet on the subject. Maybe after I write that section, I'll post that as the teaser! :)
*giggle/snort*
And of course, my little sister would react the same way as bisty did... ;)
*looks around innocently* Who, me? It just struck me as amusing. Really. *continues looking around... innocently*
It also proves why you're perfect as my older sister and Bisty is perfect as my... really cool aunt. *wonders what she would think about that* I believe those were HER words... *grin*
