This might explain why it seems very satisfying to write stories about women who die and men who keep on living. And seeing that the popular LnC subgenre, death-of-Lois fics, has reared its beautifully melancholy head again,
What brought this up, exactly, Ann? We've had this discussion several times before, and it's been a frustrating effort. Honestly, I think the problem's more in your *perception* of the world (and fanfic) than the thing itself. Calling this a "popular" sub-genre is quite a stretch. It's your right to see it any way you like, of course, and I know you've had some bad experiences -- but if you could try to avoid projecting those attitudes and your anger onto *us*, I know I for one would appreciate it.
