As it was mentioned in our FAQ posts, shipping is allowed in the zine, so it is time to expand on the subject.

For our zine we stick to the rule: “If a character wasn’t shown clearly dying on the screen, or there is no prove of them being actually dead, they may be considered to still be alive.”

So such characters as Morgan Edge (mentioned to be missing in a Daily Planet’s article in Season 8, though twice said to be dead and never actually shown to be turned into the person trying to kill Lex and Clark in Episode 8 Season 3 (Shattered) via plastic surgery, after being presumed dead in Episode 2 Season 3 (Phoenix).) or Tess Mercer (Lutessa Luthor) (who was never shown after supposedly dying in Lex’s arms after being stabbed and drawing her last breath, considering Lex still could have called ER, especially after his memories were whipped) can be safely optimistically called still alive.

(Remember Greg Arkin (The Bug Boy) who seems to have died in Episode 2 Season 1 (Metamorphosis) and appeared alive and well in Episode 4 Season 10 (Homecoming)? That’s the same situation here.)

And we can also allow the possibility of Lionel Luthor being still among the living, because as Jor-El’s emissary and vessel he isn’t lacking importance and could have been resurrected by the kryptonian AI or put into altered state of existence, a stage of suspended animation right after the fall and then healed enough to recover, because his dead body wasn’t shown in the casket and there was no proof provided of it being not the case.

Everything depends on your vision.

So here is the list (not by any means final or complete), of the characters who may appear in the zine as living acting participants of various plots:

Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman; Lex Luthor; Martha Kent/The Red Queen; Lionel Luthor; Lois Lane; Lana Lang; Chloe Sullivan/Watchtower; Oliver Queen/Green Arrow; Morgan Edge; Bart Allen/Impulse; Arthur Curry/AC/Aquaman; J’onn J’onzz/John Jones/Martian Manhunter; Tess Mercer/Mercy/Lutessa Luthor; Jor-El (AI, or in Lionel’s body); Kara Kent/Kara Zor-El/Linda Danvers/Supergirl; Zatanna Zatara; Pete Ross; Lucas Luthor; etc.

In Flashbacks and mentions only:

Jonathan Kent (May appear as an AI version of himself in the Fortress of Solitude.); Whitney Fordman; Jimmy Olsen; Dr. Virgil Swann; Dr. Brigette Crosby; Ryan James; etc.

Characters, who appeared in Smallville Season 11 comic books are also allowed to be a part of the zine (Bruce Wayne/Batman, Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, etc.).

Earth-2/Mirrorverse counterparts of characters’s life depictions in 15 years in our time are also welcome (Clark Luthor, Lois Queen, Jonathan Kent (-2), Martha Clark (Kent before divorce), etc.).

Once again we establish that all relationships between the characters should be depicted in the works in the zine as being more on platonic side.

No ships between family members are allowed.

(Note: If you write a piece sticking to Mionel, Clex is not allowed in it and vice versa, etc.)

Here is the list of the ships:

Het:

Clois – the ship between Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

Clana – the ship between Clark Kent and Lana Lang.

Chlark – the ship between Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan.

Jonathan x Martha – the ship between Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent. (in flashbacks only, or in case of Earth-2/Mirrorverse scenarios)

Mionel – the ship between Martha Kent and Lionel Luthor.

Lexana – the ship between Lex Luthor and Lana Lang.

Lollie – the ship between Lois Lane and Oliver Queen.

Chlollie – the ship between Chloe Sullivan and Oliver Queen.

Zeeiver – the ship between Zatanna Zatara and Oliver Queen.

Tollie – the ship between Tess Mercer and Oliver Queen.

Chlex – the ship between Chloe Sullivan and Lex Luthor.

Kex – the ship between Lex Luthor and Kara Zor-El.

Aquamera – the ship between Arthur Curry and Mera.

Slash:

Clex – the ship between Clark Kent and Lex Luthor.

Clollie – the ship between Clark Kent and Oliver Queen.

Ledge – the ship between Lionel Luthor and Morgan Edge.

Femslash:

Tess x Lois – the ship between Tess Mercer and Lois Lane.

Chess – the ship between Chloe Sullivan and Tess Mercer.

Chlana – the ship between Chloe Sullivan and Lana Lang.

I'm French.

I used to write fanfiction when the series was still running and I've recently started up again.

I suppose I probably could if their ages were more compatible (Lex is like, 9 years older than them?), and once Lana is out of HS and even older than that, I might be able to consider it more (a nine year age difference matters less and less when the younger one is 22, 23, 24, 25 or even older than it does when the younger one is 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21). (this is also my issue with Chole x Lex, which I actually have expressed a like for before)

Certainly, most of Lana’s most interesting interactions are with Lex, and they do have an interesting dynamic in general. I don’t ship it really, but we’ll have to see how/if they interact once the characters are finally out of High School (it’s season 3 and they’re not Seniors, IIRC? I miss Buffy’s pacing).

As for Chole - I love her as a character, she’s amazing and cool and I love her drive and passion, I love her heart but also that she gets angry and she’s allowed to get angry (lana does too, but much more rarely). I don’t like her thing for  Lana-obsessed Clark, but she’s moved on from that. Or so it seems as of now, but I’m sure they’ll bring it back somehow.

I certainly prefer Clark x Chloe to Clark x Lana, but that’s because I hate Clark x Lana so much. I still ultimately dislike the core trope at work in Clark x Chloe - the whole “we’ve been friends forever and I’ve loved you the whole time and you’ve never noticed me that way and my entire romantic hope is pinned on you suddenly seeing me that way’ dynamic we see With Willow Rosenberg re: Xander, Hermione Granger re: Ron, Barry Allen re: Iris, etc.

I just - I don’t like that trope, and I never have, and while Chole x Clark is preferable to Clark x Lana, that says more about how unutterably boring Clark and Lana is.

As for Clark - he’s okay, mostly, but also infuriating because of his obsession with Lana and the whole “I’m not telling anyone anything but I Expect full honesty from them” but then again, self-righteousness does seem to be both a Kent family trait and a House of El family trait, judging by Smallville and Supergirl respectively, so... that doesn’t surprise me.
