I came a cross a fan fic wiki page where she gets a new codename (Seraph) and a new look:
https://dcfanfiction.fandom.com/wiki/Linda_Danvers
The look and backstory isn't really what I'd do, but I think Seraph would be the perfect codename for Linda. It ties into the angel theme and the S gives a nod to the Super-family.
Here's another fanfic idea. What if Linda was in Smallville the show? How would she be introduced? What would her role be? What would her relationship with Clark be like? Would such an idea interest anyone?
Also would like to hear if people liked or disliked the stories I posted on the previous page. It could liven up the discussion here. I'd like to be able to discuss my thought process on some the decisions I made or which scenes I really liked when writing them I've finally made some decent headway on my 'episode 7.'
I finally got episode 7 done. Unfortunately it seems I can't get to my fanfiction.net account to update it there. Been too long. Anyways, here it is. https://classiccomics.org/thread/670...show-episode-7

He's not wrong about the danger of bringing Linda back and doing it in the wrong manner, but I think a good writer who is passionate about the character could do her justice. He wasn't the only writer in all of DC to write her well during late 90s and early 2000s
Thanks for sharing!
I like how he does not sugarcoat anything. Its not like those responsible made a cute booboo that could easily be whisked away; they took the potential future of that series & spinoffs and royally done fd it up.
And his fears are not unfounded considering the proven track record; be it as Osiris pointed out the current og Supergirl or back then the Linda nod in Reign in Hell.
Reign in Hell made no sense, and I frankly think Kara might not be possible to 'get right.' I've never seen a version of her that I liked.
I do have to wonder why it was decided that Linda should just walk away and not be heard from again when her series was cancelled. Even if she no longer starred in her own book she could have continued to appear as a supporting character. When Steel was cancelled in 1998 the character joined the JLA. Was that PAD's decision that he should have the final say with her or because he wanted no one else to use her while he was writing Fallen Angel? Was it an editorial decision? How permanent was it meant to be at the time? I remember reading that Dan Didio, who I blame for so much of what went wrong at DC in the 2000s, made the decision to get rid of Linda because he didn't like her bio at the que of a Six Flags Superman rollercoaster. I don't know if that's true or when it would have taken place, I think after the series ended. But if it is true then that might just be the dumbest reason for an editorial decision in comics history.
