The germ of a story idea came to my mind today, but it is far too depressing for me to want to write (or even) read it. But I know that there are some authors here who are far more into such stories than I.
So here's my idea: The story would be entirely from Bernard Klein's POV. While running an experiment on Superman -- perhaps trying to desensitize him to Kryptonite -- something goes horribly awry and the experiment kills Superman. (A milder version of this could be to have Bernie stumble upon gold Kryptonite and expose Superman to it. According to the comics, if Superman were ever to touch gold K, he would lose his powers permanently, but he would not otherwise be affected.) The story could then deal with how Bernie copes with the aftermath. If anyone is interested in running with this, be my guest.
The idea got me to thinking...The only fanfic that I can remember that was *entirely* from Bernie's POV was one I wrote, and that one doesn't really count. As its title implies,
Geek Humor is really more of a joke than an actual story.
Does anyone have any recommendations for good fanfic that is solely from Dr. Klein's POV?
Joy,
Lynn
