superhero_muses--What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need?
I have a long-abandoned WiP which used some of (I think it was) Rucka's very crazy Nightwing/Flamebird story in Action comics where he argued that Nightwing and Flamebird were Kryptonian gods who were embodied in mortals and that caused a soulbond between them, so obviously I wanted Clark and Bruce to be Flamebird and Nightwing! I started it, but the setup to have them bonded as children but not meet until adulthood just got very unwieldy and I had to give up on it, but I still love that bit of Kryptonian worldbuilding. What's a scene you've always wanted to write and what's stopping you? (If you want to take that as a challenge, please do!)
