Trenna was interviewed for the Lois & Clark Nfic Archive.
See that site for others in this series.
The introduction:
Our interviewee this week is relatively new to FoLCdom, having only discovered the series about a year and a half ago, and fanfic not long afterwards. However, she's always been a Superman fan. She endeared herself to writers very quickly by writing lovely and thoughtful feedback on the message boards, and more recently has made a name for herself by creating some beautiful and inventive music videos.
Some Excerpts
When did you first discover fanfic? After discovering the show, I promptly went off to the internet to do searches on Lois and Clark and couldn't believe my good fortune to find so many sites. I think Zoom's website was an early favorite and I found the Kerth award website and started reading voraciously. I had lots of free time to read when I traveled by air, most weekends. I've now read everything by my favorite authors and am re-reading my favorite stories and waiting impatiently for new segments on current stories.
Can you choose one, possibly two, stories you'd consider personal favourites, and tell us what you like about them? I think one of my personal favorites is Zoomway's "Always something there to remind you." The story takes many surprising turns and a wonderful resolution. And I loved Zoomway's "Persistence of Memory" because of all the "corrections" to history that made it so fun and the science was challenging to follow as well. Many of Wendy Richards' stories are personal favorites for the same reasons, good characterizations and just the right amount of conversation and reflection. Wendy's stories revolve around the relationship with only a little action that just moves the stories along. I know that's more than two, but hey, I like my chocolate lots of ways!
Has everything been done in L&C fanfic? Are there any unexplored scenarios? Or doesn't it matter? <g> One of the things I love about the L&C fiction is that in every story I already know the characters. I can picture them in my mind, what they look like, how they speak, mostly how they would act. Then the author takes me away on adventures, discovery, reflection, etc. all within the common ground we know as Lois and Clark. I've always hated to get to the end of a good book, but with L&C fan fiction, the story keeps staying alive. I am totally overwhelmed with the variety of stories and how the authors keep coming up with new and different ideas, such as Yvonne's new story, Misery. I can't wait to see where that goes.
