Well, Stan Lee's Edict that there only be the appearance of change is still in place, so people generally grow out of comics. I just get annoyed when they can't leave something done- so Prof X gets his legs back (what, three times now?) and each time, he has ANOTHER accident that leaves him a paraplegic cripple.

And Colossus came back. His death was a little too Jesus (the one mutant giving his life so that all might live), but I was WAY annoyed by him being written back into the comics.

Exactly. At least the DC universe tries to change itself from time to time.

And that's why I mostly read fanfics.

As a rule, I try to avoid fanfics. Although some of them are really good, the majority of them... well, I don't like the majority of them. And I'm not completely sure that the ones that are any good are worth reading through the ones that aren't.

I do enjoy that the DC universe is able to change from time to time- killing Robins, rather than having MaryJane get back together with Peter- they were seperated, and supposed to get divorced, but that changes something, so she comes back and quits her job because she loves him so much. Awww... how... wait, that writing sucks!

Especially with Vertigo (DC's Indie line) they're free to do pretty much whatever they want. See "American Virgin" (which isn't any good, but interesting writing) and "Y: The Last Man" (incredibly good writing, interesting ideas, sub-par artwork) for reference.

If you can find a decent archive where they actually filter what's posted, you can find some good fics.

To date, I haven't seen one. Do you have any regular readings that you might suggest?

Speaking of Serenity, I know a woman (my friend's wife- who we got hooked on Serenity) who now writes fanfics, and they have some HORRIBLE fan fics out there.

Jayne- in love triangles that... *shudder* I really don't want to think about.

Her personal favorite fanfics are the ones where Jayne gets Kaylee, rather than the doc.

I'm still looking for a good Firefly/Serenity archive, but I do know of site that has decent X-Men fics.  Just google Idylls of the Cat or Luba Kmetyk.

Uhhh... actually that would be one of the fanfics that I did my *Shudder* for.

Jayne gets Kaylee, rather than the Doc getting Kaylee. Weirdo.

Hey, I didn't type that sentence. Don't blame me if you were vague.

Get your mind out of the gutter. There's not room down there for all of us!
