shallowness

Home. Fandom: Smallville. G. Whitney Fordman (background Whitney/Lana, Clark/Lana). 250 words. First posted: June 2006. Summary: Whitney never got to find out who sent him the copy of The Torch.

Notes: Inspired in part by MollyTM’s ‘Shades of Gray’. Takes place during early season 2, but spoilers up till ‘Visage.’ With thanks to FridayAngel for the beta.
Disclaimer: The characters are not mine and I make no profit from writing this.

These four eps were much of a muchness, quality-wise. I’d probably give ‘Void’, another horror-tinged episode, the edge.

On Tuesday, in the middle of all the horrible news, it was announced that Joss Whedon will be taking over directing duties on Justice League from Zach Snyder for tragic reasons. Obviously, one hopes that this helps a grieving family heal.

Wonder Woman (please be good! Not that I saw the show or read the comics, but as a woman who goes to see comic book movies, we're due one about a superheroine that's good) is occupying my brain more. But apparently the news about the merchandise isn't great.


Anyway, I’m watching Smallville season 5 for the first time on DVD. (I’ve been spoiled for a few big things on the show over the years. And the next DVD boxset I will go through will be a better show, but I’m watching it with much nostalgia for my experiences of the fandom for the first year or two. Quick recap: CHLOE.)

The colour palate is very striking, coming off the greys of metal, glass, stone and shadows of Person of Interest. I’m also rewatching the Pirates of the Caribbean movies right now, which has the blues and greys of the sea and brown and black of the ships, so the warm, bright, sun-kissed hues of Smallville, where everyone’s outfits are colour-coded, jumped out at me.

Apparently some people find round-up posts like this obnoxious. May I suggest scrolling or not clicking? For my part, yes, it's self-promotion, just in case, but it's also a chance to write a little about the writing process or what the fics mean to me. Anyway, if you're interested, over the past week and a half I've reposted the following:

No friend to those with noses (Dark Angel) G. Joshua, Alec. 488 words.
First posted: Late December 2005. Summary: A smelly cat is no friend to those with noses; Joshua has a snout.

A clear view (Dark Angel) PG. Alec, Max, Mole, Dalton (Max/Alec implied). 880 words.
First posted: January 2006. Summary: Alec rescues Dalton, Max is furious at how he did it and Terminal City gets entertained for free.

Days, weeks, months and years (ER) PG. Haleh, Neela and Ray. First posted: February 2006. Two post ‘Dream House’ 12.06 drabbles.

Yesterday, I crossposted: Epicinium (Smallville) Teen. Lois, Chloe, Clark, Gabe, Lana. 2,682 words. Coda for 4.8 ‘Spell’.
Summary: The aftermath of the eighteenth birthday party that Lois and Chloe don’t remember.

( Notes )

I don't know if I'll be able to continue reposting fic as regularly, although given that I'm only up to the start of 2006 and only started Dreamwidth in 2009, I don't want to stop again.

Just got burned by an abandoned WIP. Grr. No abandoned WIPs are included below. ( Fic and fanvid recs in the following fandoms: The Bourne franchise; Brooklyn Nine-Nine; Dredd; Firefly; Gravity; The Hunger Games; Jupiter Ascending; The Man from UNCLE (2015); Marvel Cinematic Universe; Mulan (Disney); Once Upon A Time; Revenge; Sherlock; and Smallville. Mainly fic )

I’ve opened my season 4 DVD boxset of Smallville, which had been gathering dust for a couple of four years. I blame my reluctance for getting it out on rewatching season 3. I think I’m going to have to pace myself and manage my expectations. I’d seen the first episode of season 4 when it aired live and then didn’t watch the rest. Looking over my Smallville tag doesn’t offer an explanation as to why; I suspect scheduling was to blame. So, everything after that is new, although over the years, I have been spoiled for some big developments on the show, but I don’t know when.

Six things about the first six episodes of season 4

( applying a loose definition of six )

I was reminded recently that I'd written this vignette about a catburglar and a billionaire (no, not that catburglar and not that billionaire.)
