Do people who write Christian Kane in all those J2 stories even know who the hell he is? They screw him up almost as much as they screw up Michael and Tom. Very annoying.
I agree with you but this is nothing new, the fandoms is always doing this. But I guess that you being so mad is what a lot of readers feels when they read a Smallville Fic and find a completely different Clark, most of the writers seem to hate Clark Kent and adore Lex Luthor but that is not the problem. Clark is always the idiot, hard headed, disloyal, , egotistical liar and almost mental retard who gets Lex into troubles. And Lex apparently gets good reason (almost always Clark is responsible or a SOB with it) for becoming a villian.
What you say about screwing up Christian Kane is true but everyone is free to do as they please. I read those J2 fics and don't really care for anyone else just for J2.
Being annoyed, and being mad is a little different I think, but saying that, I have to disagree strongly that most writers hate Clark. I can point out a lot of fic that paint them both in a positive light, and I prefer fic that does.
What annoys me about the way Christian Kane and other CW actors are written is that the writers seem to depend on stereotypes exclusively. It's like they don't know that Michael is not really bald, or that Thomas is a total gentleman in every sense of the word, or that Christian is an excellent actor as well as singer and in fact is a former CW (or WB) actor (Angel). Though, like you say, everyone is free to do as they please. Just because *I* don't like the way they portray a certain actor doesn't ruin the fic for me, if the writing is good, I'm more than happy to keep on reading!
