I hate subject lines

I was thinking about Mary and Gary Stu's the other day. I know some of my characters skirt the line (Damien; Camille) or trample all over it (Tamarisk, my Harry Potter Mary Sue). I don't care much; I like writing what I write and I like to write what I like... to write.

Anyway.

Mark Townsend is perfect. He's loving and supportive. He's there for Clark and Whitney and Lex (in different degrees). He's really, really cute. He hasn't amny flaws (off the top of my head, I can't think of any that are relevant; maybe he can't sing).

And yet, out of all my OCs, he feels the most real to me. The least Stuish of any OC I've created. He feels a lot like a character from my novels, rather than a character invented for fanfic. Hell, the way I write Helen feels more Sueish than Mark does.

Weird.

Anyway, I've expanded on my Lex as a pediatrican idea. Lex never moved to SV. Clark ends up marrying Lana. They have a kid (biological or not) but Lana, because she already seems to be prone to it, dies in childbirth. Clark ends up raising the baby alone. He moves to Metropolis (or Lex moves to Smallville) and Lex becomes baby's doctor. They fall in love, natch. And live happily ever after, of course.

I still need printer ink.

Your characters like Mark and Damien seen very real to me too. In fact, I have said something about Damien to little sis only to have her look at me like I was crazy. "And once again, you are confusing real life with those stories you read," she said. Oops!

And that "Lex as a pediatrician" idea sounds very intriguing. What kind of bribes are we looking at to make that happen? ;D

Pay my bills, buy me food, and otherwise turn me into a kept woman. :)

Although, I may try it without all that. We'll see.
