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.

(Q: ...So. The completely random character you picked. It wouldn't happen to be Kara, ( Read more... )

owen fic, legion fic, fic, kara fic, dcu fic, cass fic, cassie fic

"When he died, no one cared, because you were already in his place."

Some of the rest of this is very funny indeed, but I'm stuck on this line and this scene.

*wibbles*

From a meta level, it's even kind of true. odditycollector November 16 2006, 09:13:38 UTC

I think it would be a much less awkward conversation if Kara was willing to *listen*, rather than force Cass to say it all in words.

(But, alas, the new!Kara in my brain is still working out the subtleties of *normal* human body language, so.)

I'm caught between *snerk* and 'ow.'

Good place to be, I hear. Like the moment after you push your rival down the stairs... just before you realize they've got a hold of your pant cuff.

This is AWESOME. I approve massively of your Santa-letter-writing technique. :)

Thanks! I don't think Kara would, however... if Santa's just judging by *those* events I'm surprised *all* she gets is a moldy sandwich.

... I'm really impressed. Which probably means close to nothing to you, considering you don't really know me, but suffice it to say I'm glad someone out there can write like you do and can write this from a silly "Dear Santa" meme.

Kara leaves at super-speed, before Cassie has time to hate her for that, too.

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 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.

When the weapon arrives, it will kill everyone on the planet. Or it will kill 500 million Kesari. Or it will kill 3 billion Mhohians.

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.

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!")

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.

That's awesome. I am one of the few people who really like the new Supergirl. The genocide and kidney parts are just, stunning. I'm glad you've written those, they've made me happy (and just a little bit sad).

Re: Wow odditycollector March 14 2007, 01:45:21 UTC

Thanks! The genocide was the one that inspired me to do this, really, as I pondered how, exactly, one would manage that. Evil? Indifference? Accident? (Ooops! The *blue* lever, you said? Sorry!)

I think you'd be surprised. Her loudest detractors ( I'm one of them) tend to be folks who like her enough to get angry about the artwork, or about certain aspects of her portrayal. People *want* her book to be better, which is somewhat unusual.
