There may be a slightly greater number of "Clark moving on" fics, probably because of the likelihood that he'll outlive her
You really got me thinking with that comment, Caroline - which others have repeated after you - pondering, as it were, the mysteries of life
. And here is the way I see it.
I don't think Lois is more likely to die than Clark is or visa versa and here's why. Lois and Clark are fictional characters. So when I write about them, I become God to them. As 'God', I make the decision about who will live and who will die. And as 'God', I can kill off one just as easily as I can kill off the other.
So will Clark outlive Lois... As 'God', it's completely in my hands. So the next time someone knocks off Lois, keep in mind that I can come back and knock off Clark
Hmm... after reading this thread, maybe it is time for me to write a Lois moves on story. Then again, it would break my heart to hurt either of these characters, so probably not.
