I can't remember any deathfics I read in this fandom, right now, but I know there was at least one. Incidentally, I didn't really like it, but that's not my point. <g> If the story is well written, and not just written for the angst, I might go for it... but generally, I'd prefer the victim not be Lois or Clark. wink I hate to say it, nut if I know beforehand that Lois or Clark die I might even not read it.

As for writing, I wouldn't kill off Lois or Clark just because I don't think I'll ever have a plot idea involving that (without reviving them later, anyway). Secondary characters might die, but it'll take a lot for me... if it's necessary, maybe I'll do it, but I think I'd be afraid of creating excess angst, which is bad.

Scully: I only get five?
Mulder: I remembered your birthday this year, didn't I, Scully?
