Some Excerpts
I started writing vignettes in reply to discussions on the list.. I only had gotten on the internet in September of 1994, when I immediately joined the mailing list. We would discuss things, naturally, and I joined in with gusto. Sometimes though, I couldn't express what I felt well so, I'd do it in a vignette story form. They would be as long as my email program at the time allowed, maybe ten K (i.e., not very long at all). Dawning came about due to a discussion of how Lois would react if she found out CK [is] Superman. The only way I could argue my POV was to write a story, but it had to be longer than a vignette...
Sometimes I like reading about a playful interlude, a vignette in which two characters just have a lot of fun, but mostly I want full-fledged stories (whether short or long), with a plot, some action, some drama, some humor, with the nfic thrown in as a natural consequence of what's happening in the story. I'm glad there is nfic that pleases me in both these respects.
I joined the list, one of the first things I did when I got a good internet account (which I still have). The list was immediately conducive to discussion. I found I liked to try to make my point by writing up little vignettes. The vignettes soon became full-fledged stories. ) I enjoy the creativity, I enjoy getting into the heads of "My" characters, I enjoy exploring their depth and breath, which the show itself had a hard time doing for a variety of reasons that don't constrain fans.
