Spiderman Fic

Many moons ago, Joanne_c and I were talking about the difference between fix-it fics and what ifs, and I decided that the difference is that while a what-if takes what's happened and twists it a little, fix-its take a central part of what makes a canon tick and changes it to try and keep the characters happy. That's partly why I find them quite unsatisfying, because quite often the thing being fixed is so central to who the characters are and what they do. To use the example I used at the time - if Lex and Clark don't fall out in Smallville, what's the point of the series, because its main thrust is how do we go from point a, them being friends, to point b, them being nemesis. Now I say feel free to fix it all you want post them falling out, but for it never to have happened almost takes out the fun.

All that being said, this is a Spiderman 3 fix-it ( And now the why, in all its Spiderman 3 spoilery glory )

And now, that you know that for certain characters happiness I will quite happily shed any kind of credibility, on to the fic.
