Some Excerpts
I guess ever since I was able to read I've been a Superman fan. I'd read anything and everything I could get my hands on and that included comic books. I never was a big Archie fan, which all my girl friends were. Nope, I was a tomboy, so whatever the guys were reading, that's what caught my interest. They liked Batman, I guess because of the darkness. Me? I liked Superman. All the "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" stuff appealed to me. Plus, I've always been a sucker for blue. I also remember being allowed to watch the black and white episodes of Superman that starred George Reeves. I'd watch in amazement that a man could fly without a plane. What did I know? I was a kid! Heck, I still believed that the Tooth Fairy left me money under my pillow (thanks, Mom <g>). I also remember admiring how Lois Lane had a *job* and wasn't a housewife who did the housework in a full skirt and pearl necklace. I had absolutely *no* desire to be like June Cleaver. But Lois Lane? That was another story <g>.
It seems like forever, but actually, I've only been writing L&C fanfic a little over a year, I think. I used to post regularly on the L&C message boards. Remember Top Ten Lists? That was me. And that was my first endeavor into doing something creative and humorous related to Lois and Clark. Then, I discovered the wonders of IRC. I have always been a fan of L&C fanfic and was *thrilled* to "meet" and chat with some of my favorite writers. I knew them because of their fanfics and nfics; they knew me because of my Top Ten Lists. I kind of "fell" into writing L&C fanfic. I was invited into an IRC channel with all of these other writers. Before I knew it, I was swept up in the fun of creating an L&C story. I've been hooked ever since.
The main reason that I write fanfic/nfic is that for me, it's away to relax and unwind and just let my imagination go in whatever direction it wants to. Real life for me is hectic (two kids, a husband, a recent promotion, *and* going back to school for the first time in 17 years) and rather than go to therapy and pay an outrageous sum of money to have someone ask me "And how does that make you feel?" ... I write.
