More of the badwrong

I posted to my web site the story I wrote to thank katkim for all her help. She wanted gratuitous Clark/Lionel sex. And I added some gratuitous angst.

Blurry reply, may not be answering your question, may not make sense. Forgive me :)

Doll, you always make sense to me. :)

In fact, you laid out the pros and cons really well. I'll have to give it some thought. Although, really, my first impulse was that I'd rather post to the Internet. I just hate telling people no when they've been so nice. But I think I'm going to have to do that.

I think. (No, I'm not extremely indecisive. Why do you ask? *g*)

Yay!

I love your sequel idea, and I'm so glad you're going with it! YAY!!!

Yeah, I think Clark would be able to keep the Lionel thing a secret from Lex if he decided to merely stay friends; it was just that I doubted he'd be able to do it if they got any closer. Whether or not we agree on Clark being a bad liar, we do see that Lex picks up on something and pushes at least a little. (The scene in "Ryan" comes to mind, when Lex asks Clark if he staged a single-handed prison break, to which Clark replies "I'm just lucky, I guess" or something along those lines, and Lex reacts in a VERY skeptical manner.) But if they're still just friends, I think Lex would let it go.

It's just that in a romantic relationship, I could see Lex getting idealistic and thinking that Clark should trust him if they are actually "together," that if Clark didn't, they should have just stayed friends and not gone the extra step. And so I could see him pushing, and the secret being so NEW to Clark...I just couldn't see them in a relationship together and it not coming out somehow. Especially with how...grabby and suspicious...Lex gets when it comes to his romantic relationships and his father.

But yeah, if Clark decides to just stay friends at first, that solves the problem. And so by the time they DO get together, the secret is old hat, and thus easy to keep.

So...yay sequel!!! I can't wait!!!

As to zines...I'm negitive on them. I'm all about the instant gratification, first of all, and I hate to wait around for the zine to come out. Also, I'm cheap, and I don't want to pay for it if its not a freebee. But the main thing, I think, is that most zine stories that I've read never become mainline topics for discussion. They don't go through the free for all of reactions that the normally posted stuff gets. For example, I don't think either Koi's "Mercy" or Te's "Past Grief" or Jenn's "Handful of Dust" would have gotten as much controversy, discussion, or general acclaim if they weren't easily available to everybody.

So, I just like open archives and no zines. But that's just me! ^_^

Yeah, I think that's me, too. I wrote a nice note politely declining, even though I was very flattered they asked me.
