Okay, I need something to get my fannish writing muscles back in shape (we aren't going to talk about the rest of me). So, from bop_radar:

Name a character (from a show I'm familiar with) and I'll give you three (or more) facts about them from my personal canon/fanon.

So fic please

She's so crazy. She will raise (with Lex) the most f-ed up child ever; someone to take sociopathic behavior to a whole new level. I love these. Each and everyone. Here was where the squeeage came;

1. 'not merely for buying things but for being things' Anything that talks about self-creation and being has me and this forwards a very interesting theory.

2. 'Lana was going to raise her to do whatever she wanted and damn what other people thought about it' If she raises this child will Lex it will swiftly reach the point where neither of them can control it. Superman alert. 'spend almost no time in Smallville'

There is something so significant in this statement- she's not just removing her child from a place but a way of thinking, from the mere possibility of turning out a certain way, she's pulling her roots out. And it makes me think of the degree of instability that child would exist in- We all call someplace our first home, even if we hate it, but it sounds like this child would live on planes, in that flux between places, literally be a child of motion. And our first homes always provide a departure point in our mind; a place to leave or come back to, in Lana's case to resist, in Clark's, to fight for. If you're born into the idea of 'GO' then I guess one of your first thoughts is 'Land or Stop.'

'Lana was going to give herself a second chance.' This is so wrong it makes me smile. We are truly in the fandom of homicidal families.

3. Wow. Lana in three lines. Creepy as could be, makes me love her.

You know, I hate what's been done to Lana and what she's used to do on the show itself, but the character and many of the founding principles of the character are interesting, if you only allow them to be as creepy as they are. I've written a couple of Lana-POV stories; Tertium Quid (http://www.rivkat.com/smallville/tertium.html) is my favorite, though I have a soft spot for Love Story (http://www.rivkat.com/smallville/lovestory.html) too.

:) Off to read. I agree about the show- she became a fairy princess with none of the drama. The facts argue against her:

1. She is a meteor freak. Don't deny. Her power is that she attracts meteor freaks- why else (if we overlook the ridiculous plotting of the storyline) would they all go for Lana, regardless of sex, status or planetary origin. There's coincidence, then there's SV.

2. She wears a meteor ring (part of the thing that killed your parents) in their memory; that's a sociopathic need for attention. I mean Harry Potter can't help it, and he gets called an attention seeking...

And there are others...off to read fic and contemplate creepy Lana (who I would have liked so much more, and that actress could have pulled it off)
