Because *my* year was boring.
You can chart probable exam periods by my LJ output, I'm beginning to suspect.
Anyway. Instead of putting up the Dear Santa letter as given by the... Dear Santa letter generator, I picked a character at completely random and wrote fic based on it instead.

Thanks! It means much more than that! (After all, I can't chalk it up to "took pity" or "she knows I'd read this - better say something" or "sockpuppet!")
She's so angry, but mostly it's because she doesn't work right here, and the dynamic between these two, at least in the early moments, seems so right here.
I don't know if you're following TT or 52, but given Cassie's current state of mind (and Kara's), it doesn't seem like it *would* be an easy relationship to begin with.
And you're right - current Kara doesn't seem to fit very easily into the universe.
I don't read Legion frequently, but the second segment sort of makes me want to. /grins Especially because of how much more settled the time difference seems to have made her.
Heh! I'm not sure about more settled, exactly ;), but she's certainly a lot calmer in the future. So far, at least. I shall spare you the ten page essay on what I think of the title... though I'll say that the latest two, 23 and 24, were pretty good. (And probably did more to advance Kara's personal story than all the issues of her own title so far.)
It's extremely effective to not shape the facts of the situation to what she's feeling in her head, interspersed with Kal-El's peices of cracker-jack ethics advice. Maybe because it feels more- I don't know, inevitable, maybe? Whatever it is, kudos.
I'm glad that it worked for you; this one is actually the reason I wrote these. "How would I manage to commit genocide?" I asked myself. "Does it count if it'd be by accident?" And then I worried that one drabble'd be lonely...
It's sad how every moment Kara tries to do good seems to break my heart. It's never been like this for me and comics, not since maybe some of Dick's more destructive years.
*grins* Kara's my favourite, much to the consternation of people who would rather I shut up about her once in a while. So I can't say as I'm sorry for you.
You know what? I wish this were what this issue was going to be about. So many people could redeem themselves with it. But yeah, peas in a pod. In such a strange way.
DC loves its legacies, and there's some interesting stories that could be done playing with how these two in particular approach theirs. Whether that is what is behind the cover or not, we shall see.
You know, I wonder if Steph and Kara would've been friends?
Steph would totally have hung out with Cassie and Kara. Just like the Justice League, but blonder!
And also, I think getting people to see the light should be worth way more than 8 points, jeeze.
Well she only *helped*, after all. And we must save some points for all the fanboys writing poorly-spelled letters to DC on Cass's behalf! (To Whum it my concarn. Cass isnot a muderr. Allso, not namd "Cassie".)
Oh, Owen. That's such a cute and dry humored way of sticking that last element of the letter.
"Here you go, Kara! You've been a cool friend - you deserve this!"
As I said in the begining, I'm really happy and really impressed I found this. Write more, please.
And again, thanks! And thanks for the great feedback, really made me smile.
PS. If you haven't yet, you should read monkeycrackmary's Kara ficlets. They are happy-making.
