Hm—let's see—

The source of her power is sex.

She needs to make some money.

I wonder where this could be going?

There've been a few updates, but it looks like the update tracker isn't catching it!

That's better. Maybe it's just me, but I much prefer it when Linda is powerful and in control rather than uncertain and restricted.

Linda deals with the motel owner and gets a bit of an unexpected response!

Sigh.

I had some plans for a deeper storyline, and went so far as to write them in notes.

Real life has taken over though.

Originally I had started the blog because I thought it would be easier to just spew out sporadic snippets, but I'm thinking I should just attempt to write a story, a little bit at a time.

I think I mentioned once before that coming up with a story for a supergirl is extremely difficult, because the types of girls we like are completely invulnerable. How can someone who's invulnerable have any sort of conflict, short of another invulnerable girl?

There's always hypnotism, or attacking loved ones, stuff like that. But it all feels so cliche.

This has become sort of rambly, but in short, the blog is in indefinite hiatus. Sorry :(

If you have any ideas to contribute for a short story or a blog entry, I would be more than happy to hear it. It might help me to write more :)

This is some extremly bad news I loved your blog. If you want I've tried for more than a year to put together a continuation to my Power Network story, but I got a writer block myself, I might need soem help.
By the way as Terry Pratchett once wrote, clichés are just the building blocks of narrative, it's up to the author to use them in an interesting manner.

Thanks Anon, that's encouraging to hear. The blog itself basically received no feedback, so it got kind of frustrating at times

On Blog feedback is a rare beats, especially for narrative blogs.

Agree with Anon on that....in the absence of blog updates, I'd love to see more prose in the form of Pt 3 of Linda's Transformation (yeah, I know the blog was an extension of sorts, but not the same detail)...

Goobers, your writing is great, but Linda suffers from the common problem of being "Too Super". Don't get me wrong - I love your stories. But for you to spin out a long story she needs a challenge, but because she's super your big challenge is developing a challenge.

I know you know all this stuff, but Linda is so together that makes it tricky. She needs some angst. I hate to suggest what you might consider, but in her case one idea is simply becoming so bored with the being super that she wills herself to be normal again. Maybe she wills herself to even forget she was super or think that being super was a dream or something and then you could slowly play out her desire to become super or maybe she is a real split personality: A super girl whose secret identity is even secret from her. Of course, I'm not claiming either of those ideas are unique, but you write well enough to execute something along those lines memorably.

Linda's only challenge is Linda.
