I don\u2019t know if it aired in the UK in \u201993 and if it did, I didn\u2019t see it. I think it was part of the Thursday night line up? I\u2019d go to a friends house and we\u2019d do homework and watch our shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What was the episode (either entire or in part) that made you love the show?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t remember much from the first run through, other than not seeing most of season 4 (it was a different night by then). I do remember watching the wedding though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><s>Years<\/s>&nbsp;Decades later I rented the DVD\u2019s from the library right as the world shut down and ended up with seasons 1-3 for a few months longer than the original rental thanks to the library being closed. It was the moment where Superman rescues Lois from the bank vault (despite its inaccuracies) in \u2018I\u2019m Looking Through You\u2019 that caught my attention. The Phoenix is possibly my favourite episode but there are many episodes that led me in search of fanfic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long have you been writing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I started writing fanfic in 2006 for a different fandom. I wrote for a few years before wandering away from that fandom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long have you been writing Lois &amp; Clark?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think officially I posted the first fic in February 2021, but I was already writing Aftershocks (which started being posted in May 2021) in a notebook during slow times at work in fall 2020.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What types of fanfics have you written?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I seem to like HoL fics? I do enjoy episode tags and other one shot shorties (which have a horrible tendency to morph into multichapter fics that never get finished).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Favorite story you have written? Why?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I\u2019ve written it, \u2018Aftershocks\u2019 was my favourite, but that might be usurped by \u2018Could\u2019a, Would\u2019a, Should\u2019a.\u2019<br><br>Why? There\u2019s so much left for fanfic writers in HoL and I keep wanting to do something with them. Aftershocks was supposed to be an episode fix-it but morphed, and will have a sequel at some point. Could\u2019a, Would\u2019a, Should\u2019a is another episode fix-it that can stay as it is and hopefully fill a few of the plot holes we were left with. There may be a one-shot tag at some point as one kind reviewer left me with a plot bunny\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current project\/projects:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Christmas fic\u2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under The Dancing Lights \u2013 which has been lounging on the hard drive for far too long. Hopefully to be finished in 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They Called Him Superman \u2013 an AU fic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a few others that don\u2019t have titles, or the title will give the story away. I\u2019m hoping to get a few finished this coming year, including the follow up to \u2018Letting Go.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personal Picks of other Fanfics you have read:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Addicted<\/em> by YC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Next Step<\/em> and <em>Honeymoon in Vegas<\/em> by Sue S<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Revisionist History<\/em> by Kathy Brown<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Wherever You Will Go<\/em> by KSaraSara<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Delusions of Grandeur<\/em> by folc4evernaday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Interview Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What attracted you to writing fanfic and what about it do you enjoy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All those years ago it was reading what others were coming up with. My very first fanfic was a friendship fic, with hints of angst (which was true to that particular tv show), and it was a story in my head that I wanted to tell. Surprisingly, people liked it. I enjoy the community aspect of writing fanfiction. You have the freedom to tell a story, much like a reader has the freedom to read, or not read, and comment or not (though I will say comments are the best gift you can give a writer). I\u2019ve appreciated looking back at some of my earlier works and realizing how much my writing has grown, despite the rampant commas still.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is it about L&amp;C universe\/characters that you enjoy exploring the most?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can put them anywhere, in any situation, and make it work. Opportunities are endless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do you think makes the best story?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s hard to say\u2026. Any story that captures my imagination and I can picture the story and hear the characters voices as I read it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Readers, Welcome to the Lois &amp; Clark: The New Adventure of Superman Writer&#8217;s Showcase, pioneered by Annie Lansbury back in 1998!
