I think the big issue with Lana is that the producers and writers like her too much. A character is doomed to be boring to the audience when she's so beloved by her creators.
Also, I feel sorry for poor KK; she signed onto this series when she was eighteen, and her role was relatively simple and not too prominent: pretty damsel in distress, unreachable love interest. I think she's improved as an actress (she makes a good Luthor) but that Lana is just boring. I also think she's just so tired with the show she no longer cares as much. I know I probably wouldn't, after all the things it's been through.
I look forward to your Lana fic, though; I sometimes wish their were more Clana in fanfic, just so I could like it. There's just not enough tension in the onscreen pairing. It's kinda like watching a gay guy and a lesbian try to get it on - you know they don't want it but they go for it anyway.
