SV/DCU "fic" and "meta" and "news"
The news is that I have rejoined the staff of sv_ledger. I felt like I should be doing SOMETHING to contribute to fandom somehow, since I haven't been posting fic, and plus I missed working with the other editors, who are all aces. So I'm on-duty for that right now and getting back into the link-gathering swing of things.
Also and otherwise, after my summer fling with the Adam&Tommy stuff came to a fickle end I, for reasons that I have no idea how it happened, started reading DCU stuff. Various bits of canon as filtered through
scans_daily and what sansets has in the house, plus fic. I still have a dislike *coughcough* for Superman and Batman, but the next generation entertains me, so I've been checking out Kon/Tim and various versions of hot Robin-on-Robin action (plus assorted Barts and Batgirls and Wunderkinder (needs moar threesomes and foursomes with girls + boys)). This has also involved much household discussion of the WTFness of DCU canon and the need for various types of fic. (I just. I cannot take that universe SERIOUSLY.) Amused myself with imagining Kon ending up in S1 Smallville and going 0_o at it. Then next amused myself by way AUing everything and trying to figure out how Lex/Kon could work (apparently it does not exist anywhere on the internets? wtf?), but lost the plot entirely in id-ficcy HE THINKS LEX IS THE MOST AMAZING PERSON EVER and giving him long hair and a lip ring. This is an important difference between imagining and writing, folks, when you imagine you don't have to make it make sense. (Though from reading fic I realize not everyone makes this distinction, but my thoughts have to reach a certain threshold before I will actually call them a story for the public.)
But what I'm really talking about here is superpowers. Now, from my years of reading in SV I'm used to things having long and elaborate discussions of the possible dangers of Clark's powers during sex, and also some very creative uses of his powers during sex for fun and pleasure. And though I have found more of this now, at first I kept not seeing any of it in DCU fic, and I was boggling at how there were all these superpeople and it was like the writers didn't even notice? So then I wrote this little ficlet that is not, as I said, hardly even reaching the threshold of being anything and plus it's rough and unbetaed and like, ha ha, I am one of those people who wrote a fic without really reading canon.

Summary: 250 words and did you read my babble above?
Warning: Did you read my babble above?
When Tim returned to his room in the Tower after making out with Kon - making out with Kon - he found that he had received a mysterious email.
As we share certain interests and, I think, an analytical bent, you might find these experimental data intriguing...
The email went on to detail many uses for Kryptonian powers as erotic aides and ways to neutralize the possible dangers of those powers during sex. Each power had its own section, the TTK section being left with ??? only.
It was from a heavily anonymized source, the sender listed as unknown. Tim automatically started backtracking through the multiple layers of encryption.
It wasn't from Lois; it didn't sound like her and she would have just used her normal work address. Tim had occasionally squelched fleeting suspicions about Clark and Bruce, but again, it didn't sound like Bruce and he would have used one of his aliases. Now, Babs could and would anonymize it this well and had her omnipotent surveillance, but then the message would sound voyeuristic instead of participatory and would be even more complete. As he got deeper, Tim had the sudden thought that the other person with the knowledge and resources to do this encryption and the overarching interest in Superman was L--
Tim's fingers jerked away from the keyboard as if burned and he shoved his chair violently back from the desk. He squelched that thought. And squelched. And squelched. And didn't hack at the email any further.
