Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex

[ffutures]

I had occasion to refer to Larry Niven's seminal (in every sense of the word) Superman article in a forum posting yesterday; someone has pointed out that it can be read on-line (apparently with permission from Niven) at

http://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html

It's a little out of date now, since his powers have been rather less gross since the Crisis on Infinite Earths etc., but still makes you wonder how Clark can have anything like a normal relationship with any human.

Lots of family fun (well, not really, for reasons that are all too obvious...)

I've seen some B/X fic inspired by that essay. Brutal stuff.

Yes, I think I've seen a couple too. But I'd give more for Xander's chances with Buffy than Lois with Clark.

I talked with Mr. Niven a couple of months ago while he was signing books for me at a con and he mentioned that he had written fanfiction himself. I forgot to ask exactly what he was refering to, but this story must what he had in mind.
