Sarah-Jayne was interviewed for the Lois & Clark Nfic Archive.

See that site for others in this series.

The introduction:

This week's interviewee is a Superman fan from the UK. She's been a Superman fan since the Pilot first aired - over ten years ago now! - but she only discovered fanfic about a year ago. However, she's been making up for it ever since - her comments on ongoing fic posted on the Lois and Clark Fanfiction Message Boards are much appreciated by authors.

Some Excerpts

What drew you to Lois and Clark? The first thing that drew me was Dean! I fell madly in love with him from the very first advertisement for the show and just had to watch the Pilot to see whom this gorgeous guy was, he was like a God to my 12-year-old mind! But what kept me watching (apart from Dean!) was the fantastic premise. The concept of two of society's outsiders drawn together through love and of course, the incredible chemistry between Dean and Teri.

What's the very first fanfic you read? Do you remember what your first thoughts were about the concept of fanfiction? I don't remember the first fanfic that I read but I do remember being a little wary of it at first! Mainly because I thought that nothing could be better than watching the show itself, but after reading a few stories I was totally proved wrong, and now I can't stop reading!

What type of stories do you most enjoy reading, and why? Romance, Romance, Romance! With a little drama thrown in for good measure! I do tend to enjoy the stories that have Lois and Clark married or at least `together' in a romantic sense. Mainly because I still remember the angst that I went through waiting for them to get together on the show! I really enjoy stories that set up problems or difficulties that they can work through and face together. I don't like them to be apart for to long because I love all the waffy romance stuff too much and I think that as characters Lois and Clark definitely work better as a complete team, both professionally and personally. As it was stated once before, the two of them together are strong than them alone.
