Idea for a 'Castle'-like fic. - 03/06/10 07:59 PM
My current favorite show is "Castle" starring Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic. It has a Lois and Clark vibe to it, and is quite entertaining.
The enterplay between the two principles is excellant, and the 'A' plots are well done and enjoyable in their own right.
I'm not going to go into a long explanation of the premise (you can get that from Wiki). Basically, Fillion plays highly succesful mystery writer Richard Castle, who has decided to write a series of books based on a 'hot' NYC female detective. Since he is friends with the Mayor, and the Police Captain he is allowed to accompany Det. Kate Beckett on her cases.
I see this as having a fun analog as a L&C alt-universe story. Clark can be the successful mystery writer who is thinking of useing a 'spunky' and resourceful investigative reporter as the lead in his newest novel. He thinks Lois Lane would be the perfect role model for his main character. By whatever means he is allowed to follow along with Lois on a major investigation. And the fun begins.
One of the fun parts of 'Castle' is; because Castle is a successful mystery writer, he is able to look at the investigations from a slightly skewed perspective and is often instrumental in helping solve the case.
Clark could show himself to be a help to Lois in his own way. Not only would his insights be of help, there is that little additional aspect of Clark... the powers.
Anyway, if anyone is game to try something like this I would certainly be willing to read it.
