And I just now saw the "and why you were inspired to write about her" part.
I'd been wanting to write Kara/Barbara for a while now, because Kara's adolescent vulnerability is the perfect object for Oracle's omniscient eye. And it'd be hot. Kara sort of lends herself to all kinds of hot power imbalances. Plus maybe something psychoanalytic about adolescent sexuality becoming mastered by the rational mind?
And when I read Peter David's Many Happy Returns, which is all about the homosocial relationship and love between two Supergirls--Linda Danvers and the pre-Crisis Kara--and just its incredible depth, I just couldn't not introduce Linda to the new Kara.
I'm still working on a continuation of "Up, Up, and Away." The two Supergirls have so much to teach each other. Plus, if I work at it, I have no doubt I can make them kiss.
