Merry was interviewed for the Lois & Clark Nfic Archive.

See that site for others in this series.

The introduction:

For our very first interview, we are proud to present someone who is known throughout FoLCdom as the Queen of Feedback. She is one of the most consistent naggers, cheerleaders and feedback-givers around, and she’s loved universally for it. Her trademark short but to the point notes are valued enormously, as is her diligent nagging of authors whose muses have gone into semi-retirement. FoLClore has it that if she ever wrote a fanfic, the comment folder on Zoom’s boards would be the longest ever seen in the fanfic folder. It’s our pleasure to introduce our first guest on The Readers’ Choice.

Some Excerpts

I've been a Superman fan since I was a child and used to watch serials of Superman at the Saturday morning movies - before George Reeves. And I've always liked a love story.

What are your favourite sites for reading fanfic?

Zoom's boards and Anne's place for nfic now that most of the stories are consolidated in one location. I like the archives - but I've read most everything there and most of the new stories are at Zoom's prior to the archives. I do check to see what's been updated once a week. Occasionally I wander to fanfiction.net.

I've found that most of the individual sites have their stories at Zoom's or the archives.

Can you choose one, possibly two, stories you'd consider personal favourites, and tell us what you like about them?

Meet Me in Kansas City- because it was my first favorite that I read and it had a combination of wonderful waffy highs and tearjerker lows that did not take forever to get straightened out by communication. Most of the problems L&C have is due to lack of communication, which is what makes a lot of the stories. Sometimes I think that is carried to excess. Not always though.

I also loved It Happened one Super Night/It's a Super Life stories. It's waffy and a tearjerker and shows the L&C development and revelation.
