Comment here and ask me ANYTHING about any fandom I'm involved in/have been involved in. Controversial or innocent, silly or serious, ask and you'll get my honest opinion on the subject [to the best of myknowledge/ability]. General fandom questions are also allowed, but nothing about actual people IN fandom, please.

I'm not quite sure what that last phrase is supposed to mean. I think it means I won't answer questions about people on my flist, like Elizabeth or Samantha or Ari or Grace? I'm not sure why people would be asking me such questions in the first place, though.

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.

I have no doubt I can make them kiss.

That, in a nutshell, is why the DCU is so overwhelmingly slash-friendly. ;)
