Author has written 20 stories for DC Superheroes, X-Men, Lord of the Rings, Batman, Marvel, Teen Titans, Justice League, Death Note, Batman Begins/Dark Knight, Sherlock Holmes, Fantastic 4, and Wheel of Time. Note added in January 2009: For what it's worth: Shortly after the inauguration of Barack Obama, I posted a satirical piece in which I pretended to be a "political pundit" passing "final judgment" on the success or failure of the Obama Presidency on the basis of what little evidence was already available. (After all, why wait until the very last moment to make up our minds?) It's not the sort of thing that really fits here on FanFiction, so I posted it over on Helium: Judging the Obama Presidency About Free Spirit One of my ongoing projects is a serial narrated by Free Spirit (Cathy Webster), who was briefly a sidekick/protégée to Captain America in the mid-90s, but simply hasn’t been heard from in Marvel’s continuity for over a decade to the best of my knowledge. If you are not familiar with Free Spirit, then you might want to follow this link to see what she looks like and learn a little background info. ( Free Spirit (the "Comic Vine" file) Outside Links to Superhero Parodies of Mine Several of my own "fanfics" about comic book superhero characters have been done as parodies, and for some reason I always do outright parodies in script format. Since FanFiction.net has a hard-and-fast rule against posting script-format fanfics here (for no reason they have ever explained, so far as I know), I can't post those here. But just today (7 February 2007) I have posted a whole bunch of my lengthier superhero-related writings on another website, and that includes several parodies that might appeal to you if you like to see a fellow fan of the superhero crowd poking fun at their peculiarities in an affectionate manner. Parodies Based Upon Specific Stories Bratman: Shush (Part 1) Sins Unsurpassed (Part 1) This one will make a lot more sense if you are already familiar with J. Michael Straczynski's 6-part "Sins Past" Spider-Man story arc. If you aren't familiar with the source material, then be warned that this is full of Spoilers for its plot twists! Arguing Batman's Guilt in the "Tower of Babel" Parodies of the Superhero Lifestyle in General Superhero Panel: "When to tell your sweetheart your secret identity" In each of these, a motley assortment of Marvel and DC heroes have been invited to sit at a long table for a "panel discussion" on a controversial issue. Some of the things they say in response to the Question of the Day are breathtakingly ridiculous, but all of them are based carefully upon stuff that "really happened" once upon a time in someone's continuity! | |||||||||
