The Fanfic Side
by rachel madden (no relation to the football john)

hey FoLCs, what's up? if you can believe it, i am actually writing this column Jan. 27, because i was bored. well, only the first part, because it would be kind of dumb if i didn't put any fanfic in here. oh, and if you guys are wondering, i WAS related to john, he was my great-grandfather. actually, his whole name was john franklin madden, and i'm not kidding. my great-grandfather really was named john. ( even though he's been dead for four years.....) ok, so i'm exaggerating a tiny, tiny bit.... alright, alright, i've bored you guys enough. enough small talk.
on with the show!!!!
here's something from our very own Gretchen, in which Lois gets more than she bargained for when she plays a game that starts out as innocent with Clark.....

"TAG! You're it!!!!" -- By: GG (folczrus@aol.com)

Clark and Lois were sitting on their love-seat and they were both bored out of their minds. They'd been sitting like that for about 20 minutes, when Lois jumped up.

"You know what Clark?" she asked.

"What, Lois?" he answered.

"This is really boring--in case you haven't noticed--you wanna play a game?" she asked, looking hopefully at him.

"Um...okay, what kinda game?" he asked cautiously--he never really knew what his sexy wife had planned--until it was usually too late.

"Oh, I don't know......how 'bout Tag??" she suggested.

"Tag? Okay.....sure why not? Who's "IT" first?" he asked.

"How 'bout me?? I like the idea of chasing you around the apartment," she grinned and leaned in to tag him.

"Okay with me!" he agreed, getting up from the couch. He knew she was going to tag him if he didn't watch out--so, he started running away from her. As he started running, she started chasing him around and laughing as he'd go running in one direction and then abruptly go the other way.

Finally, she managed to corner him and then she tagged him. Immediately, she realized the error of her ways because he caught up with her, and instead on tagging her like the rules said he was supposed to...he kissed her instead. Well, needless to say, after she kissed him back, they both forgot about their game of Tag. THE END

RAnDOM ThOUgHtS


I have a mission. To see "Titanic" as many times as I can. I am not alone. I love that movie. Now if you are wondering what this has to do with Lois & Clark (this being a L&C newsletter and all), let me explain.

While watching the movie, I have noticed quite a few similarities between the characters on the show and in the movie. Take, for instance, Cal (from "Titanic") and Lex Luthor... (Note: If you haven't seen "Titanic" yet (um, why not?), the following my contain things that you don't want to know. I just don't wanna spoil the movie for you. So you HAVE been warned!)

10 SIMILARITIES BETWEEN LEX AND CAL...

10--They're both men.
9--They're both incredibly wealthy. At least at first.
8--They both (at one point) get engaged to a beautiful women (Cal to Rose, and Lex to Lois), who consciously (or not) would rather be with the cute hero of our story.
7--They both act nice and innocent when they're around most people, but secretly they're big old jerks.
6--They do bad things and frame a cute guy named Jack (Lex did it in "Barbarians at the Planet").
5--They both have three-letter names. OK, I *know* Cal is short for Caledon or whatever, and who knows what Lex is short for? But it's the thought that counts!
4--In the end, the woman they're engaged to comes to her senses and decides to lose the guy and chase that cute hero of our story.
3--They both try to kill the cute hero.
2--They're both jealous of the cute hero.
1--They're both not *nearly* as cute as the cute hero (I guess that's a matter of opinion...but it's *my* opinion, so there!)

5 REASONS TITANIC AND LOIS & CLARK ARE NOT ALL THAT SIMILAR...

5--When Lois was unsure about marrying Lex, her mom told her to follow her heart and that it wasn't too late to get out of it. Rose's mother wasn't exactly supportive. She was practically forcing Rose to marry Cal, not exactly caring about Rose's feelings.
4--Lois and Rose have *totally* different hair colors! It's so obvious!
3--Have we ever seen Lois and Clark on a giant ocean liner? A little tiny boat, yes. A ship? No.
2--If there was a sinking ocean liner on L&C, Superman would have saved it. It would NOT have sunk.
1--Jack is actually good at poker, unlike Clark (who *almost* used his x-ray vision in one episode to see someone else's cards). But then again, how's a guy supposed to win when he's playing against Perry "still cheating at poker?" White?

3 REASONS TITANIC AND LOIS & CLARK ARE VERY SIMILAR...

3--Jack's always wearing suspenders, and Clark wore them in "Illusions of Grandeur".
2--In both the movie and L&C, the cute hero seems to be constantly saving the heroine. Meanwhile, the heroine has a few opportunities to do some rescuing of her own.
1--Lois and Clark tend to do a *lot* of kissing...and so do Jack and Rose (no kidding! LOL:)
