I wrote a short fanfic in a moment = of madness=20 yesterday, and I tried to send it to the fanfic archive, but it seems to = be=20 down. Does anyone want me to email it to them? It's just a = light,=20 fun and goofy fanfic...it's called "Where Oh Where Do Supes' = Clothes=20 Go". And *no*, it's NOT nfic despite the title! = <vbeg> =20

I wasn't sure what the policy was = about sending=20 fanfic to the list, and I didn't want to get anyone mad at me = <bg>. =20 So I thought I'd just offer to email it to anyone who's = interested. If=20 you'd like a copy, just email me privately at my email addy listed = below. =20 And, of course, I'd *love* some feedback!

Thanks in advance to anyone that's=20 interested.

I have delurked twice in 2 days! I must be feverish! I will make my statements and then resume my place in the shadows. On Sat, 17 Jan 1998 23:19:09 -0500 Genevieve writes: For saving of space, snip all the *great* comments Genevieve wrote. I will have to heartily agree with all her comments, and well said to boot! And yes, I did read the *entire* post . I would like to add my 5 Favorite Fanfics (and these are in NO order. I don't think that I could rank them). Let me also add that I consider a *favorite* story one that I can read over and over again, and *do* read over and over again: Chris Mulder's "Love Beyond All Measure" and "Dimensions of Loving". Actually, I would consider these 2 stories since most of the action occurs in the first story and all the revelation and relationship development occurs in the sequel. But I love these stories because they have in them all that I like in *any* story; character conflict, both internal and external, action, believable villains, some mystery, romance, and (of course) a happy ending ; ). Debby Stark's "Dawning" series. Okay, I have just exceeded my list of 5! But that's because Debby is up to what *19* episodes? Again, because it has all the elements listed above. And Debby continues to add to the villains and action. I like her characters perhaps the best of all the stories. She has borrowed only the basic elements of the characters and given them her own interpretation of how they would act. Debby Stark's and Margaret Brignell's "Swap Meet" stories. Again, there are 2 stories here but there needed to be. And, I guess out of all the stories I like, these two probably have the least amount of romance in them, but they work for me. I really liked the story idea. And seeing what happens in *both* universes was creative ingenuity! Again, I think we are all finding that taste is different among the FoLCs. Kathy Brown's "Winners". I just cannot include some of the nfic. Although some of the nfic has PG versions, this is one that would loose the *entire* idea if the sex was not there. But there is a tremendous amount of self awareness of character that occurs. There is NO villain. Just wonderful romance. But Kathy has a way of telling the story that is vivid for me. Anyone who has been in a relationship or is in a relationship can remember the warm feelings of newness and awe of the relationship. Kathy does an excellent job of capturing this for me. Demi's "Heaven's Prisoner". Either one, PG or nfic. I loved this story because it deals with faults of the characters and the full circle of realization of the faults. And, after tissueing (if that's a word) through the first 3/4 of the story, it was wonderful to have a happy ending. Again, there is a villain in this story, but you have to hunt for it because it is within Clark. And just one more....... Gorn's "A Consummate Revelation". And, yes, this is another nfic. I really liked this story because Gorn captures the independent and aggressive Lois of first season. There really isn't a villain in this. But there is plenty of action. I also like any story that has a great revelation to it. Well, that's my idea of what the top stories are. Guess I couldn't really limit it to just 5. /I now return to lurkdom/ Debbie Berg abbra15@juno.com ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 18 Jan 1998 03:09:19 PST Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Peace Everett Subject: Re: Story Recommendations - five favorites In-Reply-To: <3.0.1.32.19980117112911.006bf8bc@hop-uky.campus.mci.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; X-MAPIextension=".TXT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Oh, I like this idea, even though I usually have trouble limiting it to = five 1.

She sat alone in the cavernous room and that was just the way she wanted it. Tonight, at least. It was unusual for the City Room of the Daily Planet to be almost totally empty of workers and the frantic activity that characterized the place, but it did happen at odd times of the day and night. Of course, to be there when it happened one normally either had to be a member of the janitorial staff or overly dedicated to the job. She wasn't a janitor. She was a reporter and not just any reporter. She was quite possibly the best investigative reporter currently working in the newspaper business. Tenacious, stubborn, determined, and instinctively brilliant when it came to sniffing out crime and the humans responsible, she'd earned the grudging respect of her peers through the simple expedient of not knowing what it meant to quit. Which partially explained her presence in the newsroom at almost midnight on a Saturday night finishing up an expose concerning the dirty dealings going on between a local politician and a known crime boss when she could've been somewhere else. Anywhere else. The story she was putting the finishing touches on had taken weeks of dogged investigation on her part, some undercover and some the 'in-their-face' journalism she was known for. And it had taken every ounce of tenacity she possessed to confirm the hidden link between State Senator Millicent Wood, well-known champion of the moral right who thought sex WAS a four-letter word, and Karen 'Kitten' Brown, the most ruthless crime 'lord' to hit Metropolis in years, a true man-eating tiger in the disguise of lady. At first, even her editor hadn't believed her gut-level hunch that the pair were partners-in- crime, but she'd found the evidence. Not to mention, almost gotten killed in the process. So, she was quite proud, and deservedly so, of the resulting headline grabbing, front-page screaming article and knew her editor would be doubly pleased, as well. It was a job well-done. Pride in her work, however, didn't explain why she was quietly crying as she typed. Perry White, Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Planet, was furious. He frowned at the papers in his hand before bellowing across the newsroom. "LANE! My office! NOW!" His displeasure wasn't at all appeased when Lois Lane didn't immediately trot over to meet him at the office door. The very fact that the petite brunette intentionally took her time strolling in his direction told him his gut instinct was right on the money. She already knew what he was getting ready to explode over. Well, naturally. The woman wasn't the best damn reporter he'd ever seen for no reason. She did know exactly what journalistic crime she'd committed. Apparently intentionally. Of course, he also wasn't the top editor of the greatest newspaper in the world for nothing, either. Abruptly, he changed tactics. Instead of exploding, he took a deep calming breath and smiled as she entered his office then motioned for her to sit down as he closed the door. He almost had to swallow a chuckle as her eyes narrowed while she perched cautiously on the edge the chair in front of his desk. Taking his time, Perry moved around his desk to face her. "Great expose on Senator Wood, Lois. You nailed her and took a large bite out of Kitten Brown's organization at the same time." Lois smiled, while still looking highly suspicious of his sudden mood change. "Once I found out about the investment firm's involvement in her campaign last year, the rest was easy. And the chain of evidence lead right to good ole Kitten's back door." White sat down and grinned. "Maybe easy for you, but most reporter's wouldn't have realized there was story hidden in there in the first place. Good job." He glanced down then tapped the papers now on the desk between them. "And the write-up you gave it. Powerful. When the voters read this, she'll be lucky to get elected dogcatcher next year. That is, if she stays out of prison that long." "Well, you know what they say--" "However, I was wondering what the hell this was." Lois blinked at the sudden switch, then frowned as she watched him pull another paper out from under the article on the Senator. "What?" Perry waited until she shifted back into the chair in an attempt to appear unconcerned then shook his head and forefinger at her. "Don't play innocent with me, Lois Lane. We've had this discussion too many times in the past for me to buy your act now." "Seriously, I have no idea--" "Okay, I'll play along. Explain to me this little piece on the automobile accident." "Oh, that." Lois shrugged nonchalantly. "Happened right in front of my apartment building, practically in front of my eyes. A teenager accidentally runs in front of a car and dies before the paramedics can arrive. It was an accident. The family is grieving. The driver is in a state of shock. The boy is dead. End of story. Nothing new. Back page stuff. What's to explain?" Slightly surprised that he hadn't already picked up on the significance of the accident's location, Perry leaned back in his chair and studied her face silently, trying to hear what she wasn't saying. It occurred to him she wasn't nearly as nervous as he'd thought. Controlled was more like it. Tightly controlled. Almost rigidly controlled and determined not to let anything show emotionally. He scanned the copy again, gathering his thoughts, then picked up the other article and held them both up side-by-side. In one hand, he was holding a first-class piece of investigative journalism. The esteemed politician's crimes were all laid out in concise clear unmistakable terms, yet pulsing underneath the words was the passion of the reporter writing them. The outrage she shared with every other citizen over a public official letting them down. The determination to do whatever it took to change the situation and not let it happen again. Or if it did, find out about it. His gaze shifted to the shorter piece. Again, all the facts were there. Names, addresses, comments from the paramedics at the scene, medical reports. All of it. Cut and dried. Everything was included that any good reporter would include. Any rookie reporter, that is. And that was the problem in a nutshell. Lois Lane wasn't just a good reporter and she sure as hell wasn't a rookie. She was a great reporter. Or at least, she could be when she let herself. Suspecting in his heart there was more to the story than she was telling didn't make his job any easier, however. Still, they had a paper to put out and he had to give that priority. "Lois, I don't care if this piece is destined for the bottom of a bird cage. It could be better. Rewrite it." His eyes met hers. "You know what I want. Now do it." "Yes, sir." Lois took the copy from his hand and turned to leave without argument. At the door, she stopped and spoke softly without turning around. "Chief?" "Yeah?" "Have you ever held someone in your arms as you watched the life fade out of their eyes and known there was absolutely nothing you could do about it?" Before his brain could form a response to that startling question, she was out the door, heading towards her desk with quick steps. Perry White sat in silence for a long moment, then banged a fist on the desktop as he hissed to no one in particular. "Well, hell." Two weeks later, Lois had all but forgotten the exchange with Perry, if not the cause of it, when she barreled into his office to ask for permission to look into possible sabotage on the space shuttle, Messenger. Since she rarely asked for permission in the first place, at least, for prior permission, before barrelling headlong into trouble, she mistakenly assumed she was being a dutiful reporter. Or better than she normally was, at any rate. It also never occurred to her that Perry wouldn't give her his complete and undivided attention, either. "LOIS! Can't you see I'm in the middle of something here? "Oh--" Perry sighed and motioned to the man standing in front of the desk. "Lois Lane. Clark Kent." "Nice to meet you." Lois blinked back at the stranger she hadn't even noticed was there for at least a second before her brain returned to more important issues. "Anyway, he worked on the Messenger--" "Wait! Wait! Wait a minute. What happened to that mood piece I gave you about the razing of that old theater on Forty-Second Street?" Perry's ranting didn't faze her. She was, after all, used to it. "I wasn't in the mood." "You weren't in the mood! Now look, Lois, you can't come in here and tell me you're not in the . . . " Noticing Jimmy Olsen waving frantically, Lois spun on her heel. "Oh, I got to go, I'll catch you later." Within minutes, she had forgotten all about that incident also, at least until the next day when the stranger reappeared with a report on the razing of the theater on Forty-Second Street. "Beatrice was eighteen when she made her debut. Warren G. Harding was President, the unknown soldier was interred at Arlington, and Babe Ruth was sold to the Yankees. She came to say good-bye, as we all must, to the past and to a life and a place that soon would exist only in a bittersweet memory." Lois stared into space in a daze as she listened to the copy Perry was reading, torn between irritation that the man had stolen her story, never mind that it was one she hadn't wanted in the first place, and awe at the smoothest copy she'd ever heard. "Smooth." Jimmy's heartfelt echo of her own thoughts snapped her back to attention. And reality. "Ummm . . . yeah, if you like that sort of thing." "You know, Kent, there's only one attribute I value more than experience and that's initiative. Clark Kent, welcome to the Daily Planet." Before Lois could decide her opinion of that turn of events, her attention was again pulled away from the stranger, make that new co-worker, by an announcement on the television of the explosion of the Messenger, confirming her earlier suspicions. Time to go to work. Two days later, with uncovering the saboteurs of the Messenger behind her, Lois Lane was ready for another, even bigger, challenge. Being the only journalist covering the historic completion of Space Station Prometheus. First hand. From space. This time she didn't ask for permission. Mainly because she'd already been told no. As she waited in line, in disguise, to board the transport vehicle with the other colonists, she had a chance to reflect on her latest triumph. Shared triumph, that is, because she had to give the newcomer, Clark Kent, a lot of credit. She'd had ample opportunity to be reminded of his existence during the investigation, because Perry had given him to her as assistant. Well, it wasn't so much a gift as a peace offering. One designed to give Perry peace, not her. One she wasn't sure she was happy about, even now that she didn't have to work with him any longer. Still, for a rookie, Kent was constantly managing to surprise her. Like his reaction to Samuel Platt's murder. Clark had gotten downright irate with that policeman over his joking comments making light of the man's death. The man had heart, one had to give him that. She just hoped he didn't get it shredded here in Metropolis. And then there was his reaction to Mrs. Platt's earnest plea that they not let his daughter, Amy, grow up thinking her father had committed suicide. In fact, when she thought about it, Clark had been very passionate throughout the investigation about Platt's obvious good intentions in trying to help mankind and his own daughter's unfortunate disability by making the station a reality. Lois still thought Kent was naive about human nature, but his constant reminders about the good which could come from the space station's research were part of the reasons she'd become determined to be on board when it was completed. After covering so much corruption, greed, death and destruction the last few years, it would be fantastic to be on hand when something so phenomenally positive and good was accomplished. Not to mention, the great story it would make. Nobody was more surprised than she that the story she got was even bigger than she'd ever been able to imagine in her wildest dreams and finding the bomb wired into the transport vehicle was only the beginning of the incredible experience. Things only became utterly unreal when HE walked in. "Hey, get away from that. What kind of a lunatic are you? That's a bomb. And--" Before her amazed eyes, he calmly popped the bomb into his mouth and swallowed the explosion. Or what she assumed was the explosion because he then burped. And apologized. "Excuse me." A lunatic with manners, obviously. Lois gaped and gasped at the same time. "What the hell are you?" "There was a bomb. He . . . he . . . he . . . ate it." Listening to herself when she attempted to tell the colonists what had happened was almost as unbelievable as seeing it happen in person. Still for some reason, she felt compelled to make the explanations. She sure as heck wasn't leaving until . . . "Hi." His soft greeting snapped her head around and she began staring again. Speech was beyond her. In fact, most of the adults appeared spellbound by his appearance, in more ways than one. Only Amy Platt seemed capable of carrying on a coherent conversation while the rest of them stood there in shock. "Hi, I like your costume." "Thank you. My mother made it for me. What's your name?" "Amy . . . Amy Platt. Who are you?" "I'm . . . a friend." "Can you teach me how to fly?" "Not fly, but once this lab is operational, walk. That's very possible." *ATTENTION COLONISTS, THE MISSION HAS BEEN SCRUBBED. PREPARE TO DISEMBARK.* The collective groans by the assembled colonists at the announcement of the loudspeaker were followed by the commander's shaking his head. "That's it then. It's all over." Lois snapped out of her daze enough to question. "Why?" Mrs. Platt explained. "Once the thrusters have been fired, they have to be replaced." The commander continued. "We lose our launch window. We'll have to forget about Space Station Prometheus." Lois swallowed hard as she stared helplessly at Mrs. Platt and Amy. All their dreams and hopes ruined forever. It wasn't fair. Not now. "No . . . you don't. There's nothing wrong with this transport vehicle or the station. You only need to get there." Her attention centered on the stranger again, Lois breathed in and out softly, trying not to let the small seed of hope she suddenly felt show in her face and voice. "How are they supposed to do that?" "Easy. I'll give'em a boost." "What he can't do, it doesn't matter. It's the idea of Superman. Someone to believe in. Someone to build a few hopes around. Whatever he can do, that's enough." -from NEVERENDING BATTLE --coming in one week: SECRETS [well, hopefully then ] ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 18 Jan 1998 11:06:05 EST Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: JCWimmer Organization: AOL (http://www.aol.com) Subject: Re: Story Recommendations - five favorites Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit In a message dated 98-01-18 05:03:38 EST, you write: << Whose idea was it to limit this to FIVE favourites anyway? >> 5 was a general idea!!

Remember the SPOILER warnings with the new episodes? How about >using >a format similar to that? Yes, but instead of putting ADULT in the subject line (which can be alarming to most parents to say the least). How about putting nfic in the subject line. This is *not* a liscense to post nfic stories. They are still not allowed, but in case someone wants to recomend nfic stories, place(example): nfic: 5 great stories this way, anyone who doesn't care to see any nfic postings can filter them. I think recommending stories is great, but I was wondering if it would be too 'nitpicky' if we could seperate the nfic from other fics? My favorite stories are : 1) Any of Debby's Dawnings, specifically 1 and 2 2) Zoomway's Counter Clarkwise 3) *Anything* posted on this list I know I am forgetting a few. I was working on one really cool one about time travel, but Sean decided the computer needed a fresh install. So that story is out the window -- it was based on a dream I had. It was very poorly written as well. Anyone that can crank out a story and post it has all of my respect. farah :) fchisham@indiana.edu ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 18 Jan 1998 12:00:00 -0600 Reply-To: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" Sender: "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfic" From: Beverly Latham Subject: 1/18/98 WEEKLY UPDATE - KATHY'S CHALLENGE Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" KATHY'S CHALLENGE SUMMARY [as of this posting & working backwards] #. trivia clue = fanfic title [author] submitted by : correct responses *all responses listed as recieved, right or wrong NOTE: Items labeled with I# are inquiries about fanfics someone is trying to find, not where they already know the titles NOTE: An inquiry or a challenge won't be counted as solved unless the *original* submitter confirms the answer, just to be fair and accurate.

Many Super authors have been mentioned already: Demi, Gorn, Chris Muldar, Debby Stark, Kathy Brown, BB Medos ( "In the Beginning" and "Lois' Revenge" haven't been cited), Margaret Brignell ("The Day Superman Died"), and Zoomway. Other great stories include: Jennifer Jeagan's "It Happened All Summer" and Desperately Seeking Lois" Evelyn4CK's "Matter of the Heart" KMcstr's "The Long Road" Jeff Brogden's "Kansas Vacation" Lots of Leigh4CK's stuff like "Reminiscing" and "Clarkie" Oh boy, this is hard. I'm over the limit....... I know when I joined the list a couple of years ago, whenever I wrote to the authors to thank them for sharing their wonderful accomplishments, I would ask them for their recomendations for stories. That way I got ideas from the writers whose work I already enjoyed reading. I think think this discussion is great for new comers to the FoLC bunch.

Let me start out by saying that before L&C I had never heard of fanfic let alone read any. Due to my obsession about L&C and my access to a computer and the web, I "discovered" fanfic IN ALL it's forms. I love reading L&C fanfic...but not ALL of it....just like with everything else in life, not everything is everyones cup of tea. I have read some wonderful stories and some awful ones....of many different varieties (nfic, deathfic, revelation stories etc.) I totally agree that this is not the place for someone to post an nfic story but this being a fanfic list, I certainly don't see why a particular story can't be discussed or recommended, no matter what form of fanfic it is. In fact, when the particular story that first started this whole discussion was mentioned I didn't even think about it being "nfic"...my first thought was, oh yes what a great story, not oh, what a wonderful nfic. I tend to categorize stories very bluntly...."Good stories" that I print out and read time and again and "bad" stories" that I laugh over and warn all my friends not to bother with.....it doesn't matter to me the genre of fic, if I like it, I like it. Even if it is nfic, it's not the sex scenes that make it a wonderful story for me, it is the underlining plot that keeps me reading and rereading. To make a short story really long :) I would be disappointed if we were to limit this list to discussion of only certain types of fanfic. I love to read, and I love to read L&C stories and due to the sheer volume of material available, I grealy appreciate others recommendations.

A thread I'm not too late to join! (Being able to read my e-mail at work but not reply to it is something of a mixed blessing.) Here are 5 stories no one has mentioned yet and my two all-time favorite lines: Lori Gorschboth's "Strange Bedfellows". I adore this little vignette; I would have paid TPTB out of my student loan money to have seen it as an episode teaser during 4th season. It has no plot whatsoever, just an exploration of the troubles involved in sharing a bed with someone who floats in his sleep. Makes me smile every time I read it. Jennifer Baker's "Oh What A Wicked Web We Weave", in which Lois Lane Kent is accused of having an affair with Superman. SL&V was a good episode but Jiji's story is even better. And the easily-amused part of me sat and laughed for a full minute at the title of Chapter 8. Michael Ring's "Long Road to Utopia" is my favorite of the ATAI continuations, for no reason I can really put my finger on; it's simply a well-written story with humor nicely woven into the plot. Chapter 2 is one of my favorite fanfic passages. (See "easily amused", above.) And two that only appeared on AOL: Meinuk's stories (did it have a name?) in which Perry and Jimmy go off to Egypt on a story and Lois & Clark elope one morning in between staff meetings, and Mark (Maverel) Yearwood's version of the 4th season, which unfortunately he stopped writing shortly after the real 4th season started. I reread some of his stories recently and I'm now half convinced he was really Tim Minear. ;-> There are more but I've already reached the limit. Feel free to visit my fanfic recommendations page at the address below (plug, plug). If anyone's interested, I could branch out and make a page for all these top-5 lists; I even have space to host the stories, to take some of the burden off the main archives. As promised, a challenge for those who have read this far: my two favorite lines from all of FoLCfiction. Cyber-brownies to anyone who can name the stories. Ready?

I agree with so many of the previous posts, so I'll try to list some of my favs without duplicated fanfics. At least I'll try. Nobody has mentioned yet one of my very favorite WAFFy, and steamy fanfics, "Rubber Duckie" by Debra Manning. I ROTFL every time I read it. I also really love Pam Jernigan's stories...just about all of them! But I especially like her "President Kent" series. I don't remember if this one has been mentioned, but I liked Demi's "Remember Now What We Forgot". Very WAFFy. Can you tell I like the Waffy stories? Oh, and I definitely can't leave out this one! I think it was previously mentioned, but I had to mention it again. "It's About Time" from Zoomway. I love it's soon to be famous line, "But never underestimate the power of a star-filled sky on a warm tropical night, Jimmy." /me wonders how many ppl will rush to the archive to look up this fic now that I inserted that quote! Well, I could go on forever, as I'm sure we all could. I've got about 3 huge binders filled with my "all time favorites". That alone should tell you I'm not very good at narrowing it down. But on a closing note, I do like the idea of having someone throw out a category, and then ppl jump in to tell what their favs were in that category. Say for example...What are their five favorite WAFFy stories? Or their five favorite ones with great a-plots? Let the games begin! Sorry to drone on and on. It's my new years resolution to stop that, but apparently I'm not succeeding.

Most of the recommendations so far have been a collection of authors with a running tally of which of their fanfics is better. For fanfics 5 in my top 10 are (in no order and only 5 from 10 cause I can't remember all 10): One and Only - Gorn (nfic, but it is available on her web page last I heard) Counter Clark Wise - Zoomway (the second fanfic I ever read after Dawning 1 - I also give an honourable mention to Dawning (at least parts 1-5)) Aliens and Strangers - Susan Stone (there are more stories in this timeline, but I can't remember their names) Meeting Buddy - Marcia DeCaro (not one I think of as the greatest fic of all time, but I always enjoy rereadin it when I stumble across it) President Kent (and all the sequels) - Pam Jernigan Honourable mentions got to Menolly's Dayz series (nfic), Zoomway's Elvis and Cyberlink stories, Sandy McDermin's farce/comedy "Love as a Blonde" (nfic), and almost any of Debby Starks works. >7. Hark (Angela Walthall) > (either version ;) OK I didn't know this has more than one version... was the other an nfic? I have to say that any of her other nfics I have read were good fun. _________________________________________________________________________ Adrienne VUKOVIC aev@cia.com.au _________________________________________________________________________ "How can you be so blind, Lois?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Thanks everyone for your kind comments on my work :) And here I was, feeling sort of bored with it all**, looking longingly at hard-copy books, thinking of all that reading I can catch up if I take it easy for a while. Indeed, this would be a good time to get my computer upgraded because, in this mood, I won't miss it if it's gone for (gasp!) a week... (but it will come back with the CD I bought in working condition [it came with one wrong part and inadequate instructions] and more ram and all that). **me thinks I need a good Dean fix maybe... ;) But now, late in the weekend, reading your comments, I'm getting back in the mood. Why does this happen at this time? I mean, it seems I get most creative about 5 minutes before I have to go to work 8@ geesh. Well, I better get to it while I'm in the mood; that way I'll have a better chance of writing myself out of the corner I've written myself into... good thing Clark can break through walls... and Lois just snarls at walls and they crumble :) Debby Debby@swcp.com see picture of two writer's blocks: cats.jpg on my site: ftp://ftp.swcp.com/pub/users/dstark oh! PS: my favs... I save *everything*, good, bad or indifferent. Nearly all of it is good, if only because a person cared enough to write it. I've like short stories and I've liked long ones. I'm behind on my reading of them though, and my memory is poor :\ . I like Zoom's funny ones. I like KathyB's heartfelt ones. I like Rufus's stinging/ah-ha! ones. I like Gorn's and Sandy's sexy ones. A lot of other people write the same way--aren't we lucky! :D I like stories that build and rely upon believable characterization and upon stereotypes. I like stories that paint a moving picture and help me forget I'm looking at my computer screen as I read them. I like stories that show the writer has thought about how a story should be told (for example, I'm a stickler for points of view and don't like it when they change within a paragraph). I may not like a story's plot, but I appreciate it when an author has taken time (even if they need only a day or so; time is relative) to make the effort to actually tell a story about their characters. None of these things is easy; they take practice and love. We've got the "love" part down pat :) I've wondered lately if Kryptonians were story tellers. If they were psychic (and, who knows, maybe they were) they might not have needed to put stories (fiction or nonfiction, telling about life) down on paper. I've wondered why Clark likes to tell stories (to report on life), since we all assume he didn't become a reporter to be on top of the news of things Superman needed to know about (which may be the reasoning Superman uses in the current Cartoon series). I've wondered if, somewhere in his alien soul, Clark is so fascinated by humans that he wants to tell them about themselves. After all, a way of helping is to show the good in the majority of the population and a good way to do that is through story telling about good things people do every day. I think this is why I see him as a better human-interest story writer than an investigative reporter: he has a unique perspective and he's interested in humans. I certainly don't mind him as an investigative reporter, I just don't think that's his forte. This has lead me finally to wonder this: Lara and Jor-el were among those who monitored Earth's radio and television transmissions (they knew about our ethics and lack of living by them, for example). They know we like to tell stories, that we like to communicate in story fashion. So perhaps they hoped that their child, assuming he survived and when the time was ripe, would tell those on his adopted planet the story of Krypton so memory of that planet would live on.

Then I read it and you proved to me that when different people have a similar idea simultaneously... they'll approach it and carry it out in an entirely different manner :) I've been kicking around an idea for a while and was hmming a lot when I saw something like it come up in a TUFS episode. My idea is more complex (huh? me, complex?) and someday I'll write it up. I recall liking Jenny's "...the Chicken in the Egg" because she clearly had a lot of fun writing it. Sure, maybe it wasn't easy to write, but the effect was that she had a lot of fun. Her *characters* had fun and seemed real to me, so, naturally, the I had fun reading it. Now, Jenny, let us know where it can be accessed so that those who haven't read it can do so :) Is it accessible through the Stosser Family Home Page?

However, these three stand out as my top stories. 1. Love Beyond All Measure & Dimensions of Loving (Chris Mulder) As others have said, these are one story in my mind, and in fact, Chris thinks of them as one story, too. 2. You Made Me Love You & Wheels Of Justice (Zoomway) The first two parts of a trilogy. The third part, Great Shades Of Elvis, is also great, and I read all three together. But the first two are the ones that really get me, since I'm a sucker for the romance of them getting together. 3. Always Something There to Remind Me (Zoomway) This is an absolutely brilliant solution to the Alt L&C tragedy and I never even occured to me it until I read this story. This is "show universe" fanfic (a fanfic that should be an episode) at its best. Now, other outstanding fanfic that earn my highest recommendation? I'd rather group by author (in no particular order): ** Sheila Harper ... anything. I do editing for Sheila, as she does for me. I am just in awe of her as a writer/story teller. She is amazing. I'll stop now before I embarrass myself. ** Pam Jernigan ... anything! Pam is another author that impresses me not just with her incredibly high quality, but the number of stories. There are so many to recommend, but my personal favorites include What Dreams May Come (possibly my favorite Pam story), Second Chances, and all 3 stories in the President Kent series. ** Zoomway ... So many favorites, so little time ... but I have to also mention 12:01, which proves that a story doesn't have to be nfic to be sexy. This is "getting together" romance at its best. Also, It's About Time, which is probably the fic that I've reread the most times. I can't get enough of it. ** Jeff Brognan ... Degeneration, A Kansas Fourth. Being from Kansas (he just moved out of state, unfortunately), Jeff brings a lot of detail to his stories that we wouldn't get otherwise. Great stuff, tons of romance. ** Kathy Pernisek/Vixen ... Menage a Trois & Pas de Deux (two stories, two parter). Really romantic, and I love the resolution of Claude issue. Nfic favorites to follow later, under separate heading. Geez, this was hard, but fun.

This *are* incredible stories ... and Jennifer Eagan (JEAGAN) has several other stories, as well, I believe that are just as good. Unfortunately, these authors never submitted them to the Archive.
