Some Excerpts

Well, I'm a member of LOISCLA and of course, the fan fiction listserv (LOISCLA-GENERAL-L), I'm a channel administrator on #loiscla (on the undernet IRC) as well as another somewhat less popular, but no less *fun* Lois & Clark channel -- which shall remain nameless!

I've also got a few web pages at present which grew as my experience grew online The Lois & Clark Fantasy Land Pages, the Lois & Clark Web server (formerly of Joe Dawis), I'm the coordinator of the Lois & Clark Fan Fiction Archive.. (but truly, Kathy Brown, our editor-in-chief and Lauren Willoughby, our web designer do so much for the archive, I usually spend bow in awe. )

On AOL, I was the forum leader for the Warner Brothers Lois & Clark Forum and at present, I'm coordinating a team within the Entertainment Asylum (AOL Keyword ASYLUM) or http//www.asylum.com on the WWW. Asylum is a great name for the place too! <g>

Never got into Superman as a kid and even later on, I saw the movies, because everyone did ;) ...but other than that, Superman never stirred anything inside of me until I began to watch the Lois & Clark incarnation of the myth. It was largely DJL's post-modern (90's if you will) love story which attracted me in the beginning, and my interest grew and grew from there, (as well as my appreciation for Teri Hatcher's portrayal of Lois Lane). Being trained as an actor first and foremost myself, I always found her a lot of fun to watch work. Dean Cain was deliciously adorable (still is!) himself, and between the two of them, they have the kind of chemistry directors and producers usually only dream about for a pair of leads. That in itself inspired me to write about their characters, where before I had always written either screenplays, or purely fantasy prose. Of all the stories and short novellas I'd written previously, Lois & Clark fan fiction was the most grounded in reality believe it or not! )

I think I'm probably notorious for tearjerkers and dramatic tension ;) I love to take my toys apart and fill them with angst before I put them back together again. I don't think I could ever write a story where things *weren't* fixed (at least moderately) in the end, but to me, desperate need accompanied by a healthy dose of urgency (and perhaps a little misunderstanding to add to the conflict) has always been important to my building of a dramatic narrative. Whether that's a fictional piece of prose, or a screen or teleplay. So I usually works towards that kind of tension, which of course, finds resolution as the story unfolds. )
