I was right...I do have A-, so my blood type is definately rare.   My mom
and
I are the only ones with it in my immediate family.

Interesting... Nan's A-, and so is Alexis, and so am I. Is there a
statistical correlation between fanfic writing and blood type? <g>
Okay, FoLCs, what are your blood groups? (and if you don't know,
_why_not?_)

BTW, Irene, Nan's figures are, I think, only for one particular
population (North America, Nan?). Blood type distributions vary widely
across the world -- there's a lot more people with type B in Africa,
for instance.

That is interesting, Phil.  I'll have to try and
remember to ask the doctor what my blood type is when
I see him next.

But everyone else, thanks for the information.  I now
know more about blood types than I've ever thought
possible.  I think I have more than enough info for my
story.

FoLCs are great, as per usual!

I'm A positive, not very rare at all (I also get calls from the blood
bank; I'd go donate again if I could work out a way to leave the kids at
home - bloody nuisance, kids <g>).  I remember my blood type 'cause when
they write it, they do A+, and I always liked getting an A+ at school

Actually, that list was a general one for percentages of those blood types
in the
general human population..  Some groups may be more common in different
areas, but
those were for the human race worldwide.

>> TITLE: The Martha Chronicles 2: The Open Road
>> I think these pre-Lois and Clark stories of Martha and Jonathan are
wonderful, Christy.  I just got around to reading them--I'm terribly behind
on
everything just now--and I think you've kept them very much in character. I
can just visualize a younger Martha the way you've portrayed her here, as a
"free spirit" so to speak, who eventually grew up into the woman whom we
knew
on the series.  I'll be waiting for the third part of the series whenever
you
get around to writing it. >>

Thanks, Nan :) I'm glad my portrayal of Martha fits with your take on the
character presented in the show. After I got half-way through the series, I
was worried that I was extrapolating too much so I toned her down a little.
I'm glad this version is working.

BTW, last night I went to a talk by Joyce Carol Oates, a writer of short
stories, poetry, and a few novels. She read from poems and a new novel about
Norma Jean Baker/Marilyn Monroe. One thing she said about writing stuck with
me: even being a published & well-respected writer, she finds it difficult
to
share her writing with others. One audience member asked why. She said
people
will think your writing represents how you are now, when, really, it
represents what you were when you wrote it. By the time a story is polished
enough for others to read, you have changed enough so it no longer
accurately
represents you; if nothing else, the process of writing that particular
story
has changed you. This struck me, as I had never realized that the very
process
of writing would change me...

As for general information:  O-negative is the universal donor.
AB-positive is the universal recipient.  Anyone can accept O-negative
blood because there are no immunity incompatibilities--O indicates no
extra protein layers such as exist for A or B, and Rh-negative indicates
the Rh protein is missing. AB-positive can accept blood from O, A, B, and
AB, positive or negative.

Hi FoLCs:

Sorry to come so late to this thread, which certainly has been interesting.
There were some great repsonses:)

I noticed a few months ago, when I made a concerted effort to write a more
action oriented fanfic story, I got some wonderful feedback from fans who
were drawn specifically to the action aspects.  I might mention that I got
more male feedback to the story than I ever usually get and that I was
encouraged to write more like it. Unfortunately for them, I seem to revel
in WAFFY stories and nfics:)

I also find that Point of View (POV), a subject of much discussion in my
graduate writing classes, is a pre-occupation of mine.  In a story about
L&C, often the POV must be shared, as is done in the scripts.  Mostly,
writing students are warned against this unless a novel is about many
characters at once.  Even then, usually POV does not shift within chapters
but alternate among chapters (or clearly defined sections of chapters).

I find myself trying hard to write a story from one POV or the other.  When
I want to be particularly praising of CK, I write from LL's POV.  This
allows me to rapsodize about how great CK is but this is actually harder
for me sometimes.  That is because I actually identify more with CK in
general, despite the fact that I am female.  When I write from CK's POV, I
have fun with it but I must work harder to bring out my greater admiration
for his character.  OK, I admit it am partial to him<vbg>

Mostly what I find here is TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!!  The Kerth nominations are an
outstanding example of just a few of the really wonderful stories I have
encountered.  I am regularly moved and awed and thrilled to have access to
all the great stories.  Congrats to the nominated:)

Now if I only had more time to read and write L&C.....!

Thanks,
Carolyn
