maybeitsatest! Audi created it, therefore you know its going to be awesome.
smallvillebbang- 2011 Information Yeah, I may regret signing up for this one ontop of my other one, but I couldn't resist it when I saw it. Its very easy to talk myself into doing things. And I had this plot bunny that is really persistant in reminding me its there, so now I have a reason to do it.

Date: 2011-05-26 03:43 am (UTC)I'm glad that you like the idea! I love AUs too, I'm a total sucker for them for fic and for tv shows. I'm very intrigued with how things would have gone if they had made differnet choices on the show, though I do love what we got of course. XD One thing I constantly wonder about is how different the show would be if Sam Jones hadn't left after the third season. Idk why but it just makes me wonder a lot. So I'm super excited to tackle one and I always thought Chloe learning Clark's secret was such a huge turning part for her character, so I think it'll be fun to explore how it alters things when she doesn't. I think I'm going to keep the basic structue of S5, though probably not touch on everything because I'm thinking right now it'll be more from Chloe POV and she wouldn't know everything that was going on, but just alter it with the new story line. I'm hoping to stay away from too many parallels of the Clark/Lex/Lana drama, but it will have some of that, but just with a platonic spin on it for the Chloe Clark side of things. But yeah, obviously from my rambling you can see I'm excited about it. XD

Date: 2011-05-26 11:43 pm (UTC)I really do. It's so interesting to see how one different choice could change so much and with a show like Smallville, with ten years of canon, there are so many things that could have gone differently. Like you said, I do love what we got but in fic, it's fun to play with the what could've been.
One thing I constantly wonder about is how different the show would be if Sam Jones hadn't left after the third season. Idk why but it just makes me wonder a lot.
Hmm ... that would be interesting. I wonder if Pete/Lana would've ever gotten together, like the comics, or interacted more than they did. Clark may not have been so closed up with his secret, because I do think Pete leaving had an impact on him, even if he did get the chance to say so.
Chloe learning Clark's secret was definitely a turning point for her and changed her character a lot. While I love the Chlark friendship, especially in s5, and it was fun having her in the know, I hated how they made her character all about Clark. That is why I'm grateful for the JL and her becoming Watchtower, because it gave her something that she was doing on her own, you know? But I'm going off track, as usual.

I'm sure it will be awesome and you will handle it perfectly. I can picture Clark being concerned about Chloe being around Lex ... he is very protective, lol. I remember reading this one Chlex fic where Chloe and Lex hooked up and Clark was all, "I'll be stopping by and making sure you don't hurt her" and Lex was like, "did he just threaten to visit often?" Chloe was amused by the whole situation. It was a series of oneshots on ff.net.
I don't blame you for being excited! I am too! I am totally going to rewatch the end of s4/beginning of s5 so I can refresh my memory and get ready for your fic. XD

Date: 2011-05-27 04:14 am (UTC)Yes exactly! There's so much canon to work with and so many characters, its really fun to think about the different ways it could have gone. And I really love the idea of just one change and how it'll effect everything else.
Those are some of the things that I'm curious about too. It makes me wonder if the show would have gone in a Pete/Lana direction eventually or if they would have kept with the Lexana story to the extent they did. Or if Clana even would have stayed for so long. With Pete there it could have put a different spin on things. And yes, I totally think Pete's leaving had an impact on Clark. It not brought up on the show a lot, but I always saw it as really effecting him. He was the first (and one of the few actually) that he actually told about his powers and I think it made him even more hesitant to share the secret. And I wonder if Chloe would have even learned the secret or if found out about it a different way with Pete around.
I totally agree. I love the Chlark friendship and I love how she got to be in on it all in S5 but I really wished they had given her more than just Clark as a storyline too. And yes, I loved that about her role as WT too. It was still her doing the same type of thing, but it was her own thing. And I don't mind off track at all. LOL, off track is often a very good place. :D
Thank you, I appriciate your faith in me. Let's hope your right. XD And yes, that's exactly how I see it. Clark is very protective about the people he cares about and he would be worried about her. And LOL, that's totally cute! I can so see him threatening to visit. Hee.
I'm glad your excited for it makes me happy! And LOL, you won't be the only one rewatching. I need a refresher myself. Its been awhile since I've seen those seasons. :D
no subject
Date: 2011-06-01 10:39 pm (UTC)And yeah, it's really unfair too. I wish I had some power where I can magically transfer what's in my brain onto the computer. That's be a useful power. XD I mean, as writers, we know we're not doing this intentionally but as a reader who's waited
impatientlyfor her favorite fics to be updated and not had it happen, I do feel bad. Thank you though! With all the Big Bangs I signed up for, I don't know if it's reasonable but I'm hoping so anyway! :DThere really is. And like it or not, there's a lot of holes in the writing, which makes it possible to imagine different circumstances easily. It's frustrating as a viewer but very useful for us fic writers! ;) It's fun to play with the "what ifs". I mean, I'm considering doing a Superwoman AU for the SV Big Bang (Clark and Lois role reversal, her being the one from Krypton) and it's interesting to think how things would be different. Chloe'd probably still be the secret keeper though! LOL
It's interesting to think about all of this, because until you brought it up, I never did before. Since Pete had always been interested in Chloe, not Lana, I wonder how that would work out. I suppose he would let go of his feelings like Chloe did for Clark. I still think they'd push the Lexana but I don't think Clana would've gotten back together afterwards. Maybe she would've found comfort with Pete? They haven't had a lot of scenes together, so it's tough to imagine, though I remember their hug in s7, "Hero" being cute. Pete's leaving definitely had an impact on Clark and more so because he got hurt because he knew Clark's secret. That just proved to him that people who knew would be put in danger. IDK if Chloe would've learned it, since I feel like part of the reason she did was so the writers could have someone cover for Clark. Though the boys probably wouldn't be able to keep something like that from her very long. I bet she would've found out some other way.
It's why I like the Chlark dynamic in s5 better than 6 or 7. Chloe knew then but she still pursued journalism and her stories, which wasn't the case in the following two seasons. I feel that's why they had such a problem with her in s8. They had Clark doing his own thing and were confused at how to handle Chloe, which is why they gave her that counselor role, that, tbh, never made sense and felt OOC. I am glad that she joined as WT ... that role made sense. And yes, like you said, it was her own thing.
And I don't mind off track at all. LOL, off track is often a very good place. :D
Yay! Good to know. Definitely makes things more fun.
Your fics have always been awesome so I am sure this one won't be an exception. I'm just speaking from experience. XD Clark's definitely very protective, especially of the women in his life, but Lex and Ollie fell into that circle too.
And LOL, that's totally cute! I can so see him threatening to visit. Hee.
It really was ... it was a pretty interesting series. I only felt sad for Ollie, because I remember that he had one sided feelings for Chloe and my Chlollie shipping heart hurt for him. Now I have to go find it!
I am! It's been ages since I've read Chlex. I mean, I joined Naughty Seduction years ago but I never really went on the site because boards just don't work for me! I always forget they exist, lol.And yes, a rewatch is necessary. I have the DVDs ... it's just that these days I tend to only watch clips on YouTube if I get nostalgic for the earlier years. It's a shame we live on the opposite sides of the country ... we could totally have a marathon together. Maybe one day. :)

Date: 2011-06-06 12:11 am (UTC)It would be an awesome power to have! It would make things so much simpler. Yeah, I definitely know how that is, you feel bad because you know what it’s like, but at the same time, it doesn’t make the inspiration come any sooner. But I think it’s good that you’re still trying to finish it, not everybody does that. LOL, well there will still be plenty of time after the big bangs and who knows maybe they’ll help inspire you about something. I know I always get ideas for other stories when I’m trying to work on one specifically, LOL. How many big bangs did you end up signing up for?
LOL, yep. Sometimes the plot holes and missing scenes lead to awesome fics, so I always try to think of it that way. XD Oh another awesome idea from you. I love that, I think the whole role reversal would be awesome and it would be fun to see how different their lives would be. All sorts of possibilities. And LOL, Chloe makes an awesome secret keeper even in AUs. XD
It’s something I just randomly thought of one day and I haven’t really stopped wondering about it since. That was one of the things I was curious about, if his feelings for Chloe would have come into play later in the series. I was never a Chloe/Pete shipper but they could have been laying the ground work for something, especially because I agree that I think they still would have gone the Lexana route. I can definitely see something happening for her and Pete after Lexana though, like you said. And yeah, I always thought their hug in “Hero” was cute. Yep, I think Pete was Clark’s first experience with the bad that can come from just knowing his secret. He had always worried about what would happen, but this was the first time he actually saw it happen. See that’s what makes me curious about it, because I always felt the same. I loved that Chloe got to be in on the secret, but I always thought part of the reason was to fill some of the void that Pete left, just in a different way. But I would like to think that she would have learned it on her own eventually too. Like you said, I think that it would have been hard for them to keep it from her for too long.
I agree. I loved that in S5 they had a good mixture of her helping out Clark but still working on her own stories and pursuing her dreams. But like you said, that seemed to taper off in the next few seasons. You would see her at the DP, but you wouldn’t hear about what she was doing there anymore. And I completely agree, I was not really a big fan of the Isis move in general, but it could have been done so much better. They could have used her own struggle to accept her healing powers or even her time spent in Black Creek as a launching point for it, showing her reasoning for it, but it came off more as just something for the character to do instead. And the writers never really seemed to have a clear idea of what she was doing there, or imo at least. Her as WT made much more sense.
You’re far too nice to me, but thank you. :D Yep, Clark is totally protective in nature and that includes everyone. Even when he goes a bit overboard with it, you still have to love him because you know where its coming from.
If you do find it, I would love a link! Though I will be with you in feeling bad for Ollie and his unrequited feelings.
LOL, well I’m glad to give you a fic to read now. XD And yes, I go on there because it’s the best place I know to find Chlex fics but I totally get lost in the boards sometimes. And I have a horrible habit of forgetting fic titles, so if I’m looking for one in specific I usually can’t find it. I should start writing them down or something. :D I’m totally like that too, I own 8 out of the 9 seasons but I usually end up watching clips on the computer unless I’m really in the mood. But this will definitely give me a reason to dig up my S5 set. It really is a shame, it would be awesome if we could do that. You could help me come up with ideas, LOL. But yep, maybe someday. XD

Date: 2011-07-06 01:28 am (UTC)It would totally make things simpler. NGL, I have abandoned stories in the past but I actually like this one so I do want to finish it. And yeah, I agree. Hopefully ou're right! I ended up signing up for three- the scifi one I dropped though. Sadly, that was the first one I signed up for, but I couldn't work with the plot I decided on and I couldn't come up with another one either. So now I'm just doing the Het Big Bang and the SV one. More reasonable. I was a bit too ambitious signing up for three but all these Big Bangs are so tempting that I can't help myself!
It's the whole 'every cloud has a silver lining' thing, huh? And thank you1 I wish I could take credit for it but I can't. It's actually
And LOL, Chloe makes an awesome secret keeper even in AUs. XD
She really would!
It is interesting to think about. I was never a Chloe/Pete shipper either. I really can't imagine Chloe returning his feelings so he probably would've harbored them for a while, just like Chloe did w/ Clark and let them go. With Pete/Lana, they probably would've played around with it, like they did Clois in s4/5. Like make those really obvious statements or threw in a bunch of anvils. Smallville isn't exactly known for its subtlety after all! Also, AlMiles had a very obvious obsession with Clana so IDK if they would've gotten over that enough to actually let something happen. I think Clark's age when Pete left also played a part. He was only, what? 16? That's just way too young to experience this kind of loss and burden, especially when he had so much for that summer in Metropolis already. I feel like people who hate on Clark for keeping his secret never factor in his age, because while, Tom did a good job of looking young, no 14 year old looked him so we tend to forget how young Clark really was (plus he and Michael did look closer in age too than they were). Agreed on what you said about Chloe and the secret. I think she would've found out because let's face it: Pete and Clark? Aren't exactly the most subtle of duos. Especially Pete. He's a bit of a loudmouth, lol.
It's so good to know that I'm not the only one who felt that way. In s6 especially, it seemed that Chloe was only in front of a computer to hack for Clark. Which is why I now realize her apathetic behavior after being fired wasn't OOC, because she made her decision to pick Clark over journalism long before that. I'm not surprised what she gave up only hit her much later. The 'Isis' move could've definitely been done better. Whatever happened to her healing powers anyway? It's like they disappeared. I wish that it had gone like you said. That would've been good. Why weren't you writing for the show? LOL
Yes, exactly. Once you're in his circle, you're usually there for good. I do find that adorable. I always joke that once he starts barging into your home, that's when you know. XD
I will! I don't go to ff.net these days because of all the crap but if I ever get around to it, I will definitely give you the link, or at least the author because I'm sure it was a set of individual oneshots. Yeah, I don't like seeing my favorite characters sad and alone. We can pretend he got his own happy ending later and at least he has Chloe in the show. ;D
Totally. It's much appreciated. I am with you on forgetting fic titles. I had that problem with ff.net too. If I hadn't favorited it, it's almost impossible to find again. And yes, it's just too much effort to pop the DVD in when people have uploaded all your fav scenes on Youtube! It'd totally be fun.If you're ever in CA, you should visit me and we'll make it happen, lol. ;D For now, I'll try to get my DVD and if you need it, will give you ideas online from the opposite coast. But I'm sure you'll be fine. :D
