Superman Movieverse Fanfiction Awards - RUN-OFF BALLOT 2009 - until July 1, 2009 12pm EST! Hi, I'm Barbara, the ECQ (Evil Cliffie Queen - a nickname I earned during the posting of Déjà Vu on LiveJournal) It's a nickname I try to live up to, but I'm not-at-all serious about it. I'm turning 40 sooner than I can believe, female, married with a gradeschooler. I seem to be obsessed with superheroes right now... Since summer of 2005 (with no signs of slowing), I have adored Spider-Man. First the movies, and then the comics. Somehow, in a very short time, I've managed to read hundreds of Spider-Man comics. I've read the first few decades, and the last several years, but I'm still working on the 80s and 90s... Although after JoeQ's One More Day/Brand New Day fiasco, I'll only be reading the books with Mary Jane in them (and not Jackpot, thank you very much). Lately, it's the Spectacular Spider-Man animated series that has me excited (please renew this show for a third season, TPTB!) And then I started writing Superman. I've always loved the character, starting with the movies in 1978 and 1980 (I never saw the other two, and judging from the reviews, it's probably just as well). Then I avidly followed Lois and Clark the series, watched the DC cartoon, and have seen every episode of Smallville. With 2006 came Superman Returns. I was mildly interested at first, but the more I read about it, the more it captured my imagination. If you are interested in meta, I wrote an essay discussing the issues in writing movieverse Clois - I think the comments people left are really fascinating as well! I also write for various TV fandoms (which you can see in my "has authored XX stories list"), mostly because of writing birthday fics for LiveJournal friends, or for various writing challenges. Some of my shorter pieces are posted at LiveJournal exclusively. So if you are a LiveJournal user, come by and say hello! I also post fandom-related material, icons and other personal stuff. Love to hear from you - and feel free to friend me. I also try to reply to every review I receive if possible (although I have not been able to sometimes), so feel free to ask questions or give constructive feedback! But please, I beg you, don't try to hand me your plot bunnies to adopt -- suggestions for story ideas will probably not be used. Here's the link to the unedited version of Déjà Vu: Chapter 39: Forever. Come and check out our ficlet community for Lois and Clark! The 12 Days of Clois!
