And poor Jamie. How does it strike you when people lash out at another character just because he's in the unfortunate position of being in the middle of the OTP?? Dude, I hate that. Both Lois and Chloe have taken a lot of bashing in some of my 'verses for that reason.

For the most part people have been seriously cool with Jamie, they seem to be rooting for him, which makes me happy. But every now and then somebody's like, so what's wrong with him, and my hackles go up. Why does something have to be wrong with him? Can't he just be a nice guy who's attracted to Seth and who Seth likes? Is there a quota?

This is just random thing though, and nothing like what I believe happened with your Bradbury verse. That was just jacked. I don't understand the need to villify one person just to make somebody else look good. Whatever happened to things like, I don't know, *merit* and allowing for people to be human?

I haven't been thinking a lot about Smallville recently, but as far as I'm concerned Lex deserves as many options as possible. I don't do the OTP thing as much as write about who I think seems good together. I don't think that should exclude everybody else, except Lana because she's selfish and annoying.
