It's canon that Clark can write, I think. (I go by the movies.) It's just that TW looks like he would use crayons and have to move his lips to type.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's integral to the existing definition of the character, yes. Lois is a great writer, and they have a rivalry in at least some incarnations.
It's a testament TW and the Smallville writing that I completely blocked it out.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I thought it might be that Clark uses his super abilities to get information that other reporters can't, so while his writing abilities might suck, the paper's willing to put in the money to have someone else edit his work because of the information he brings in.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Maybe when he goes to the Fortress of Solitude he gets a Gunnesque Funk and Wagnall download.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Man. That sentence is, like, the essence of Buffistaness. Or at least of this thread. Trudy, have I asked you to be part of my widespread polygamous group marriage yet?

I can't even.

Yup, me too. I love that SV has this power.
Y'know, they are working so hard on keeping Clark and Lana apart, that they have totally blown any idea of "sexual tension", "relationship tension" and even "these two people are hetero" tension.
SV writer dudes, at this point, the only way you'll have a Moonlighting collapse is if Clark and Lex do it on camera on the kitchen table with Ma and Pa Kettle watching. Wait a second ...

Why, Emily! I'd be delighted!

Dude, didn't you watch the Christopher Reeve movies 800 times like any good child of the '80's? Practically the first thing Perry White tells Lois about Clark is, "Not only does he have a snappy, crisp prose style, but he's the fastest typist I've ever seen."
Though I do think TW plays it as though your interpretation is more likely.
Y'know, they are working so hard on keeping Clark and Lana apart, that they have totally blown any idea of "sexual tension", "relationship tension" and even "these two people are hetero" tension.
Yeah, it is kind of boring. And unfortunately, it's just going to keep going on, and on...
Oooh! The rumor is that Bruce Wayne is coming to Smallville this season, right?. There's Lana's new guy
(Whitefonted for TV Guide-esque casting speculation.)

As long as he's Lex's old guy, I'll be happy.

John, that's fantastic. And y'know, you can actually apply it to a lot of fandom couples with just a bit of tweaking. Cordy/Angel (and what I loved most about that special couple, was how they had a bit of chemistry, until they were supposed to be in love, at which point it vanished into the ether), Max/Liz (yes, I watched Roswell), etc etc
