Writer's Block: Superman

Superman and Ultra Woman
I enjoy reading comic books, both old and new.  Do I own a collection of comics pre-current and current?  Yes.  Do I have many of the DCnU?  No.  My pre reboot collection is WAY larger (and I expect it to remain that way for a while.)  I am purchasing the Superman Family Adventures (two of them each edition... one to read and get torn up by my son when he's old enough to be read comics to and one for nostalgic purposes when he gets older) and the Smallville Season 11.  I had been purchasing the Superman comics of the DCnU during the first arc (6 comics) but after the first writer left it shifted significantly and I didn't care for it.  I seriously hated most of Morrison's writing of Action Comics (Action #9 being the only one of them I've bought or could stomach and that one was written to be a stand alone.)  So am I an avid comic book reader?  I guess, but not really of the DCnU.  With that said, my favorite comic book superhero is Superman.  My favorite comic book character period is Lois Lane, though (although Clark really does warrant an extremely close second.)  I do find it telling that I'm not buying the main line of the DC version of them though.  I don't think the DCnU has done a good enough job to warrant my hard earned (and very little) money.  Due to this I've been focusing my attention on the older (i.e. pre-reboot, which also BTW includes Bronze/Silver Age comics) and turning my attention to the fandoms of "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" and Reeveverse.  Not that I didn't enjoy Smallville, but I was never really into that story's fandom and I didn't really care for the first couple of years (the last couple however?  Magic.)

Speaking of my fandoms.  I have stories just this close to being ready to print/post and yet I just can't get up the courage to get them posted.  *le sigh.*

So I saw your comment on the Lois and Clark website about UltraWoman...
And I was just considering making the costume myself. -- Dean Cain is coming to Megacon in Orlando in March, so I got all excited. -- So, taking your idea of a unitard, I went googling. Thought you might like what I found. The color is a bit off, but it might be possible to alter it with a bit of dye.

Re: So I saw your comment on the Lois and Clark website about UltraWoman...
Thank you so much for the link! Unfortunately I already have a unitard that I'm working off of. I think if you need one it might still be a good idea. the only thing I'm wary of is whether or not the spandex will actually take a dye. I haven't had very many experiences with that and so I can't tell you if it will work. Natural fabrics (wool, cotton, etc.) do a lot better at that than synthetics (like spandex.) Already sent an email from my gmail so I'm looking forward to swapping concepts/ideas of sewing, etc., soon!

Teaser for For the Good of the Earth

"General Lane, thank you for coming, President Thomas Anderson said as he shook the man's hand, "How is Mad Dog Lane?"

"As well as can be expected. You know how things get with reporters." They share a laugh at that comment.

"At least she's gotten off of your back with the interviews considering her current topic," the president said referring to Lois's series of interviews with Superman.

"And now it's MY turn to attempt to do the grilling. Let's just say she's a LOT more secretive about Superman that even I am about classified programs. I can't get more out of her than what she writes about him in her articles except that she seems to have a thing for him."

"Well Lois has never wanted the normal life now, has she?"

General Lane contemplated the president's comment and then said lightly, "No, no you're right about that."
