Author has written 46 stories for Smallville, Superman, Lois and Clark, Avatar, Terminator, Star Wars, Superman, Green Lantern, Captain America, Once Upon a Time, and Mission: Impossible. The Author: Hi, my name is Barbara a/k/a Babette. My children are grown, so I'm a very late bloomer to writing fan fiction. I didn't even know what it was until about ten years ago. I've always loved to read, so quite unexpectedly, I started writing in March 2009! I'll never forget the feeling of putting those first words on paper. I still feel the same way even now. Growing up with Superman on my television for decades engrained in me my love for superheroes, movies about superheroes, and of course, television shows about superheroes. You get the idea. I freely admit... iz a geek! If you're a member of Livejournal, check out my stories at my LJ writing community feisty_voices and the writing challenge LJ community 12days_of_clois! You can watch both communities and get much quicker updates there if you want. I hope you will!! My favorite quote: Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure, only death can stop it. Ernest Hemingway Follow me: Tumblr and Livejournal (babettew54). ~o~o~ WORK(s) IN PROGRESS: Embracing Destiny ~ (WIP) Lois/Clark/Kal-El (SR:DCU: Rated PG): A sequel to my Superman multi-chapter story, Now or Never, set 10 years in the future. Conner is now 24, Jason is 17, and Joanne is 9 years of age. What does the future hold for this dynamic family? More trials, heartbreaking disappointments, or stunning triumphs?! I'm very excited about writing this story. Stay tuned. You can click HERE to see the gorgeous story banner made by fellow author Hanakt! Birthright - (WIP) Lois/Clark/Kal-El (MOS:DCU: Rated T): An origins story inspired by this manip, click (HERE), of Clark and Lois in the storeroom of the Daily Planet. It will also be based on the graphic novel, 'Superman: Birthright,' written by Mark Waid, which is an origins story. I've never written one of those before. This one is way down the road probably not before June 2012 (or after the MOS teaser trailer comes out). COMPLETED STORIES: Well, it's now been two and half years since I wrote my first words. I still can't believe I'm actually writing and loving every minute of it. The lists below are for readers who are new to my profile. And for those who've read my 'older' stories, thank you for reading and for the newbies, enjoy the fun, the angst, the drama and, of course, the happy endings! Please leave a comment when you get a moment. To say how proud I am of my first story "A Lot to Talk About" is an understatement. I'm very, very proud of it. ~o~o~ As of February 3, 2012: My top 5 Most Reviewed: --SR Healing Hearts (Still #1: My Superman Returns rewrite!) --To Love Again --The Things We Lost --A Lot to Talk About --I Had a Date My top 5 Most Hits: --A Lot to Talk About (Still #1.) --Different --SR Healing Hearts --The Search for Lois Lane --Period of Adjustment My top 5 Most Alerts: --A Lot to Talk About (Still #1!) --Different --SR Healing Hearts --The Search for Lois Lane --The Real You My top 5 Most Favored: --SR Healing Hearts (Still #1: Just a lot of fun to change it up and set Clois on the right track.) --A Lot to Talk About --Period of Adjustment --The Real You --The Search for Lois Lane My Top 5 One-Shots (based on Hits): --Belonging (Still #1!) --A Blessing in Disguise --Flashback --Paradise Found --Only With You And finally, My Top 5 'Other Ships' (based on Hits): --The Balance of Life (A new #1: Jake Sully/Neytiri) --I Had a Date (Steve Rogers/Captain America/Peggy Carter) --Belonging (Anakin Skywalker/Padme Amadala) --Redemption (Tess Mercer/Oliver Queen) --To Love Again (Clark Kent/OC (Jane Troupe-Douglas)) ~o~o~ Clois rules around here, apparently!

You know it's true what they say: The writers who succeed, ultimately, are those who can bear the criticism and critique, who can accept it, and grow and improve. And keep writing. | |||||||
