Hey, you can really trust me not to have any Clark and Diana romance or anything like a Superman and Wonderwoman romance in the story I have in mind. Neither do I want any of the other leaguers to turn up, so it's hardly a JL story, either.
But is it in the LnC universe? Well, maybe. I intended to set it in the far future.

Just a friendly reminder...
All stories must contain some identifiable portion of the LnC Canon in order to be accepted on this board.
If the story does not contain above said item(s) then the story will probably be yanked from this board by Them Who Watches Over Details....

If *Superman* gets paired with Wonderwoman without Diana/Clark relationship, it sort of becomes like JL story, provided Clark exhibits his JL Supermannish qualities. It's a lot different from our Superman! The aura, the muscles , the stance...
If we do not accept (do we? I'm not sure) exclusive Superman : The Movie stories here (i.e. based on the movie) then do we accept JL stories? No, the board doesn’t accept these. And like James said, they will be yanked (and have been). But if the author says that it is LnC Clark, then it is (provided, of course, that Clark exhibits *LnC* Supermannish qualities  ). All stories must contain some identifiable portion of the LnC Canon Hmm... I know it has to have something identifiable to LnC, but canon? If we had to stick with canon, wouldn’t we lose some of those wonderful elseworld and alt world stories? Some of those definitely mess with what I think of as canon. Or wouldn’t we even lose those stories where folks have Lois and Clark starting a relationship in the first season? Or the stories where - ooh, yuck - Lois actually marries Lex? Those are not canon. (Those were the first two examples that popped in my head, but there are surely others.) But maybe we are defining canon differently.

We are defining canon differently.
Per Wiki.
Canon (fiction), a body of works considered "genuine" or "official" within a fictional universe
Any thing found in the 4 series run is considered canon.
If you use Tempus the story has an LnC canon element.
If you use Hyperion Avenue, yadda, yadda, yadda.
For the most part, it is assumed that you are using LnC canon here. It is when the characters are not acting LnCish, then we have problems.
If this is not the criteria, then I guess the Mods can step in and tell us what is the criteria.

Okay...I call Charmed - Piper, Phoebe & Paige with Jimmy & Jack Olsen.
Just one question. Is there a penalty for not completing the story on time?

Hi James, First of, congratulations on finishing your first draft (or so I deduce from your beta comment). Regarding your question: not doing all that well over here, I have to admit. My exams are coming up and somehow that sort of hampers my creative output. So I'm still stuck at page four. However, I have a lot of scenes and dialog planned out in my head and I hope that I will have the inspiration to start writing them down again very soon. My last exam is on Friday, 15th, so I'll try to make the weekend after that challenge-only. Hope everybody else is making better progress, Eva

Eeek from me,too, I have not even started my story yet. I do have an idea though. I've been trying to get my school schedule straightened out and now that it is, I'll have a chance this week to get going on the fic.

I'm thinking of the Tortoise and the Hare: slow and steady wins the race. Unfortunately, I wrote the first half and then laid down for a little nappy.

For The Fall Of Night Unbidden Came And I Fell From The Sky Classy! I haven't come up with a title, yet, but other than that I'm almost done. Methinks my fic will be a little bit less sophisticated than yours. Elisabeth
