The thing that bugs me is when a poster makes some statement about the story that comes not from what's been posted, but comes from his/her own particular way of looking at Lois and Clark and the mythos that's grown up around them.
I see what you're saying and I kind of agree because I think that there's a lot to be said for internal consistensy (what works or doesn't work within a specific fic as opposed to a person's opinion which prejudices them right off the bat). But to play devil's advocate, I don't know how conscious one is of how much one's personal take on LnC and the mythos around them has ingrained itself in the way one reads. It begs the question, for better or worse, to what extent do authors have a say in how their story is read?
