I don't care for deathfic either. I will admit that it doesn't bother me if it is a non-regular character. To kill off one of the regular characters is sacrilge. I read these stories for relaxation and enjoyment and killing off one of my beloved main characters is not enjoyable. Why, if you are into Lois and Clark, would you kill off a regular character. To kill off any of the main characters is incomprehensible to me.

I guess the WHAM thread is the best bet because I do not have the time to start a story that I'm not going to finish because of WHAM. Just as I don't have time to read a story that is never going to be finished. So since I wait for stories to be finished before starting I sure as heck don't want to start one only to get into the story and find out it is a deathfic.
