I can't believe I'm complaining about this, but why is it that the people who write het for *Man of Steel* fandom do it so badly? Lois/Clark is pretty much as strong a OTP as I have regarding fanfiction, but all the good writers are slashing him with Batman instead.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

I just started reviewing source for Yuletide, uh, yesterday. Oops?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Is it at least a quickly-reviewable source? I started writing yesterday.
I have about 200 words. But a general plan.

Reasonably quick. I have a story idea and notes, so the situation isn't dire yet.

Matt, I have no idea. But I've found that het pairings that would be really interesting tend to be written really poorly by about 90% of fandom. This is a pain I feel often. I don't recognize the female half of the pairing most of the time.
I have reviewed canon about three times, I have over 6600 words written, I'm still fighting off bears.
Thus, I am spending my days in Yulechat and doing word wars. I had fewer than 4k written yesterday morning!

Usually it's not a problem, as I'm more than fine with reading m/m for most characters. But I can no more enjoy slashy fic of Clark Kent than of my dad.

My first fic fandom involving Clark Kent was Smallville, so m/m including him is definitely not a problem for me.
Mmmmmmm, Lex.

I have over 300 words written for Yuletide! 30 minutes ago I had zero, so I will take a moment to celebrate while also trying to outrun the BEARS.

Man, I can't get Written Kitten to work.

Okay, I have 400 relatively polished words, another couple hundred in notes/sketches, and a vision. I am less panicked than I was.
