--What aspect of your current WiP's story world are you most excited to explore, and what drew you to create it this way?

I'm really curious about Clark's possible connection to Native American culture! The canon has only brushed the topic slightly so I'd like to unpack it more myself, if I can do the research to get it at least not offensively wrong. There's a new comic out in the series so I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it and seeing if there's anything more!

I wanted to explore 1908 Massachusetts/New England in my Bruce/Dick Edwardian AU. For example, there's a chapter that takes place in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, which I have seen. Pretty much the same as 1908, as Gardner left it in her will that nothing was to be changed. That's why the paintings stolen in 1990 have empty spaces with nothing superseding them.

Funny how things go. I haven't written either Bruce/Dick or Natasha/Pepper in three years and now I've got lots of ideas, all Halloween for these pairings! 🎃

We're both writing in time periods kind of close to each other! Well, I guess about 40 years apart, that's not so close, but still.

My sister and niece went to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and really loved it! (My niece has started college at Simmons and has fallen in love with Boston). Are you writing about that theft? (Could Selina be the one who pulls off the heist in your AU?)

No, not writing about the theft. Too soon! ☺️

Selina would totally be involved. 😸

Hey, fellow Simmons grad here. 🧑‍🎓

Ah, I didn't know when it took place! (My Boston history needs brushing up!)

And I don't think I knew you went to Simmons! My niece absolutely adores it, she's studying chemistry and has really blossomed there. Your alma mater is treating her well!
