Some Excerpts
When I was a kid, I read a few Superman comics but was never a real fan. Like most kids I admired the Superman character but he seemed a little "stilted". I Iiked the Lois Lane character because she was a lot more interesting and independent minded than most of the other female characters out there. I've seen 3 of the Reeves / Kidder Superman movies [ not S 3] but was disappointed because, after a promising beginning, they ultimately shoved the relationship away. The movies got pretty silly, too. Well, so did L & C, at times.
I wrote the first one mostly because I decided that I would like to contribute a story to the fanfic archive. I enjoyed other people's stories so much and was disappointed sometimes when there were no new stories in the archive. Then, the *obvious* thought flashed through my mind that there couldn't be any new stories if no one wrote any. So, I decided to try and then I found I enjoyed it -- I like getting inside characters' heads and working out the details of a plot. I like the surprises, too. Sometimes, unexpectedly a new character wanders across the page or someone does something I hadn't expected.
Anything as long as it's well written *and* the portrayal of L & C [and the other characters, too] are in character with the show. There have been some well written fanfics that had Lois or Clark doing something or reacting in a way that didn't seem plausible and that ruined the story for me. The best stories could be the ones I haven't seen yet -- maybe Caped Fear, maybe Demi & Kathy's 100 page unfinished story, maybe Dawning 23, maybe the next S6 episode, the next story on the fanfic archive
