I always feel a bit self-conscious doing these types of memes because I feel a bit like I'm the kid at the back of class jumping up and down going 'look at me, talk about my work now!' but screw it :P My muse can always use a workout so if you have something to ask, ask away.

Ask me writing questions, should you happen to have any ( Read more... )

Oh, really? I kinda want to know what you'd ask. I might be able to share but I don't want to give too much away :P I'm so glad you're enjoying Perfect Little Accidents! I was wondering, as that's one of the lesser reviewed fics on FF.net and LJ but yay! And the real Daddy!Clark stuff I was thinking when I planned those is yet to come so I hope you stay on board!

I have thought way far ahead in Revelations :P The final chapter is almost six months since the start and the epilogue takes place on the anniversary of the reveal. After the first fic is done I've planned a big-ish sequel, Three Years Later which looks at the longer term effects of the reveal and also involves the return of someone the Kents hoped was long gone :P

After that, I have even more planned though most shorter oneshots or mid-length fics. Two of my favourites are one called True Colours which starts with a mistake which leads into an exploration of the darker side of fame with betrayals and backstabbing abound and really, really high stakes.

The other is a fic called Stolen which is sort of about the husband of one of Clark's daughters (not giving too much away :P) and how he and their kids cope when something bad happens to his wife, the one person he always assumed would be fine. It also looks at what kind of person it takes to be married to one of the Kent kids, which I like because we all know how Lois copes but what kind of man does it take to love and marry a woman he (and everyone else) knows could beat him at arm wrestling with her pinkie? :P

There's also two oneshots that deal with usually ordinary events and how it's different now they're the most famous family in the world :P

Hmmm, that's interesting. I didn't really have a variety of scenarios when I first drafted Limelight, which was the first thing with the big reveal in it. Originally Revelations just started with the secret just being out and went from there. I didn't have many to pick from like I said but it did take planning as I needed several specific things: A situation Clark couldn't easily escape from to change to Superman (hence all the reporters coving the fire before), a situation where Clark would have to do something Supermanly (catching a freaking rocket launcher :P), and plenty of evidence and no way out (the previously mentioned reporters and all their video). I always thought that once people started looking at Clark and Superman maybe being the same person it would become obvious as one of the reasons the secret identity works so well is no one thinks he has one, I mean he doesn't even wear a mask!

Damn this got long :P Eh, I guess everyone really does love talking about their work :P It is cool to get to explain things though and it does help me too.

Those two follow-up stories sound wonderful, especially "Stolen" !!! Humm, which daughter is it?! *ponders* That would be very interesting indeed ... the husband being the 'human' one! *very exciting*

As far as asking about "Revelations"... I won't put you on the spot..! *hugs*

Glad I'm not the only one looking forward to them now! Stolen is actually half written already and (aside from the already mentioned 'something bad') it's fun because it's the daughter I consider most like Lois (dunno if that give it away or not :P) so her husband is actually a pretty special guy to love and deal with her :P Especially with the fact that she's physically so much stronger too, not saying the boys' love interests don't have to be special too :P But it is slightly more socially acceptable for a man to be physically more able than his wife, though in this case the whole world knows she's stronger than him and believe me when I say the guys who marry a Kent girl have to be secure to put up with some of the stuff they go though in the press.

Hey, feel free, I love to know what people are thinking or wondering about my story even if I can't reply without spoiling it. (Or I might come back later once it's not a spoiler any more)
