Oh, right, but I do expect him to write her as Starfire. It may not be a fork they chuckle over, but my bet is that more Starfire-ish scenes get written than uncomfortable silences.

Yeah, but I'm weird about that kind of stuff. I'd be more concerned for you if our views on that did line up. :)

Well sure, but actually writing the story where she feels ostracized from the team because the guys keep looking at her oddly after the deed, that's completely uncalled for. And given how she reacted when she first encountered Superboy, having three or four teenage guys (and maybe a lesbian for the quota) watching her and thinking about it would be like everyone in the Justice League wearing Krptonite rings, being completely confused why Superman's horking up his lunch in the back.

And I am completely certain that will come up at some point.
