Laurie D. was interviewed for the Lois & Clark Nfic Archive.

See that site for others in this series.

The introduction:

This week's interviewee is a lifelong Superman fan who was hooked by Lois and Clark right from the Pilot. She took a little longer to discover fanfic, but is now one of its most devoted fans, as a number of writers have good reason to know and be grateful about. ;)

Some Excerpts

How long have you been a FoLC? The day the pilot aired, my husband and I both read an article introducing Lois & Clark:. and thought "this sounds fun." We were loyal fans immediately. Somewhere in S3, I hit a more obsessive level and started my first collection of tapes. I retaped them all when TNT started doing reruns.

When did you first discover fanfic? I first discovered fanfic and the online community the summer between Season 3 and Season 4. That cliff hanger nearly drove me over the edge, and I was saved by the online community and fanfic. When I found the archive, it had just over 400 stories, a number of which dealt with resolving the issues left with us when Kal El left for New Krypton. I read the entire archive that summer and have kept up with "What's New" every week since then.

What's the very first fanfic you read? Do you remember what your first thoughts were about the concept of fanfiction? I honestly can't remember what fanfic was my first. I first started reading at the ABC L&C message board. Chris Mulder's "Dimensions of Loving" and Zoom's early works (she needs some recent works IMHO) were among my early favorites. Since I was in the throes of summer angst between S3 and S4, fanfic filled my need for more episodes. The stories filled in unresolved plots and moved the storylines forward when our show was on hiatus. Fanfic does not have to fit within a 44 minute limitation per hour.
