What's New?
Did you know that new fanfic gets updated to the Fanfic
Archive every week? There's some super stuff there! Go check out the almost
1,000 stories written by FOLCs and written about our favorite characters, Lois
and Clark!
http://lcfanfic.actwd.com/
Do you write fanfic?
Remember, if you have a short fanfic you'd like to share with other FOLCs, send
it to Rachel, aka LCWSnutbag@aol.com! Don't be afraid to send it in. We'll
accept almost anything, as long as it's appropriate for all ages.
Don't
be afraid to show your work. If you write something, you should send it to the
Fanfic Archive :) If you don't think your fanfics are very good, don't worry.
Everyone has to start somewhere, and the more fanfics you write, the more
confidence you'll gain, and the better writer you'll become! Plus, writing is
just a lot of fun. :)

I've met in person. I now know that I am not the only one with Superman stuff

(Although 'overly obsessed' isn't my exact choice of wording...

anything special about you that you would like to share: Umm...lemme see...I'm on the track team at school. I do
shot putt and discus. (For those of you who may not know: a shot putt is an 8
pound steel ball that you throw and a discus is like a 2 pound frisbee that you
throw.) When I'm not at track practice, I'm usually online. I also enjoy
singing, swing dancing, going to movies with friends, listening to music and
other teenager like stuff. :)

Dean News!
by Cathy
Hi FoDCs. Catch Future Sport on video
TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to rent it out. (I saw it on television, but I
am dying to see it again.) I hope that you guys rent it too.
As far as the
quiz's go, NONE of you have them all right. The people that sent me the answers
have about 1 wrong. (Good but not good enough.) You guys mess up on the second
question. "What does Dean describe himself as?" I want a specific one. I know
it's tough. But, you guys can do it! I know you can.
Don't forget to e-mail
me questions about Dean to Ranjet13@aol.com (Labeled Dean Question) and answers
to the Dean Quiz to the same adress. (Labeled "Dean Quiz Answers")
THANX!!!!!
Have a Dean-ful Day
Cathy

Tanya's Column!

Hi everybody !!!
Oh I'm so happy !! I got my physics test back. Now I
know what you're
thinking. Happiness and results of
physics tests do NOT normally go
together.. but when
you're CONVINCED you're going to fail and you actually
end up passing it's a happy event !
So YAY !! I'm in a good mood.
But I'm in a good mood
for more than just that... I mean I was in a good
(albeit
NERVOUS) mood even before I got the test back. No.
I'm in a good
mood because.. well I just am !! =) No, it's
actually because I released
some of my creative energy
last night.
Doesn't that sound weird ?
I can hear you asking, "what
creative energy"..but last night I wrote
about... 1/2 a
fanfic ! Yay !!! I want to write fanfics. I'm actually
jealous
of everybody who has earned the prestigious title of "fanfic
writer".
Hmm.. my friend just came in and sat next to me. OK I
just minimised the fanfic window so that she wouldn't
see what I was
actually doing. I'm swinging on my
chair with the keyboard in my lap. (I'm
in the computer
rooms at school at the moment because it's my prep. I'm
so glad I'm happy for it !! There's nothing worse than
having a
depressed prep lesson.)
So yeah. As I was SAYING, I must be the
biggest
"wannabe fanfic writer" in the world. I write these little
crappy pathetic story that everybody hates !! But the one
I started
writing.. oh it's so happy !! You have no idea !! I
mean it still sux but at
least *I* like it !!
OK I'm going to go. When I start "releasing my
creative
energy" I feel like writing heaps so I wrote this column as
well !! I mean.. I walked down the street this morning
composing it in
my head. How sad is that ? I probably
would have thought about it in bed
last night but I was too
busy thinking about my beautiful, wonderful and
deprived
fic and my parents were making too much noise
anyway.
**L** Oh that sounded so suss. No, really they were
talking about cataloguing electronic journals or some
other deprived
topic.
A girl just walked past behind me and I had to unswing
on
my chair. How deprived.
---Tanay !!!!!!!!!!!! Oh I can't even spell
my own name !
That's what happens when you're looking in the other
direction while you're typing. Tanya

Random Thoughts
by Rachel
(LCWSnutbag@aol.com)
I'm sure that just like everyone else, I'm having
serious bouts of LCWS. The anticipation of waiting for 3 o'clock (our time) to
come is, alas, gone. But maybe this is better. I just don't like getting up
*that* early on Sundays.
In second period today, I ventured beyond the
barriers that hold my usually angelic self
RM + DC
I didn't get to finish it. Oh, well. The reason I do
this during second period is because lately we've been talking about the
happenings in the Middle East. Now don't get me wrong, they're very exciting to
talk about, I just don't have any input. I'm not that wise when it comes to
those sort of things. I save sociopolitical conversations for when we're having
dinner with my dad's boss.
Oh, yeah, I also told my friend that if she
could chug a whole can of pop, I'd give her a dollar to buy lunch. So I stood
there, prepared to give her a dollar anyway, knowing that she couldn't chug a
can of pop without choking or passing out. She started chugging, her face
started turning purple, and I started to drag a trash can over to where were
standing to give her the advantage. She finished the last drop while managing to
stay upright, and I, like a fool, handed over my dollar.
You'd have to
know my friend. She's capable of those things.
There's a guy at my school
who looks like Dean, so when I walked past him today, I started humming "Heart
and Soul." He didn't notice.
Men...
Oh, well, I guess nothing can
compare with Dean. If I met him, I'd die a happy girl...even I got tagged by a
18-wheeler.
That's enough for today.
Later!
-Rachel :)

Trivia
Last Week's Question Was...
>>A teenage L&C
guest-star won a Youth In Film Award for their portrayal of the character they
played on Lois & Clark. Can you guess who this young star is? Give me the
name of the star, or the character they played, to win. One guess per person.
Good luck!<<
And the answer is...Courtney Peldon (aka Amy Valdez,
in "Smart Kids")! Now perhaps there are others that I don't know about. What I
do know is, that probably every young star that has guest-starred on L&C has
been nominated for a Youth In Film Award in the past (not just for L&C, but
for their other TV shows and movies as well). This year, Courtney got nominated
again for her guest-starring roll on "Home Improvement" (she didn't win). Also
this year...
*Jarrett Lennon ("Illusions of Grandeur") won for "Best
Performance In a TV Comedy Series--Guest Starring Young Actor" for his
appearance on "Boy Meets World."
*Bradley Pierce ("Witness") was one of
several nominated for "Best Performance In a Feature Film--Young Ensemble") for
the movie "The Borrowers."
*Kyla Pratt ("Through a Glass, Darkly") was
nominated for "Best Performance In a Feature Film--Supporting Young Actress" for
the movie "Dr. Doolittle."
Congratulations to Courtney, Jarrett, Bradley,
and Kyla!! (I just MUST also mention that Ryan Merriman won (count em) TWO
awards this year! He was never on L&C but I have to mention him anyway,
because I love him. Oh yes, and he connects to L&C how? Well, he won an
award for the TNT movie "Everything That Rises", and that movie also starred
Harve Presnell (Sam Lane) who is also on "The Pretender", with Ryan, and Ryan
won his other award for that show...so you see, it all
connects.)
Oh...you probably want to know who won, huh? Well the first
person to send in the correct answer was Rennjenny@aol.com! You get 50
superdollars! Yayyy:) MandyC also got it right!
OK this week's question
pertains a LITTLE more to the show itself...
In what episode does Perry
fake a heart attack?
Send your answers to lovelc@aol.com and you could win 50
superdollars:)
