A couple of quick notes (because we're still new at this and learning!!):
In order to keep this from becoming a rec list dominated by one or two authors, we're imposing a three-rec limit PER AUTHOR, PER WEEK. For example, you may love xyzauthor and every fic they've ever written. That's great! You can rec xyzauthor three times in a one-week period.
Also, PLEASE keep in mind that lots of authors FRIENDS-LOCK their livejournals and we cannot link to those WiPs that are published exclusively in locked journals. We have emailed every author in this case, but some of them do not archive their WiPs anywhere. Unfortunately, we had to eliminate FOUR recs this week because of this. IF YOU ARE AN AUTHOR, please consider publishing your WiPs at an archive which accepts them - Skyehawke.com is a favorite of the mods here! If you just are not willing to archive a WiP on a public-access archive, myashke is offering up space on her site to host WiPs (whether that WiP would then be available for public access would of course be the choice of the author).
Hope you all enjoy - we look forward to another full week of reading and reccing!

VISITOR - Crossovers
Title: A Figure in Hiding
Author: Lady Angel
Rating: R
Summary/Review by ladydey: Lex is in Las Vegas on business and wakes to find a
dead body in his hotel room. Clark works to clear him with the help of the CSI team. This is a
fun crossover with CSI that works in a long engagement with Helen, and is one of my favorite
stories.
Title: Holding Our For A Hero
Authors: zechsy and tzi
Rating: NC-17
Genre(s): Crossover (CSI), AU, Hurt/Comfort
Summary: Lex Luthor has spent his whole life waiting for a lucky break. He just didn't realize he
was holding out for a hero.
Review: Long and angsty, featuring Clark and Lex as CSIs, and a case that comes a little too
close to home. Even with all of the dark subject matter, this fic manages to have happy,
schmoopy moments, and an overall atmosphere that isn’t too dark.
Warnings: Non-con, child abuse.

A couple of quick notes (because we're still new at this and learning!!):
In order to keep this from becoming a rec list dominated by one or two authors, we're imposing a three-rec limit PER AUTHOR, PER WEEK. For example, you may love xyzauthor and every fic they've ever written. That's great! You can rec xyzauthor three times in a one-week period.
Also, PLEASE keep in mind that lots of authors FRIENDS-LOCK their livejournals and we cannot link to those WiPs that are published exclusively in locked journals. We have emailed every author in this case, but some of them do not archive their WiPs anywhere. Unfortunately, we had to eliminate FOUR recs this week because of this. IF YOU ARE AN AUTHOR, please consider publishing your WiPs at an archive which accepts them - Skyehawke.com is a favorite of the mods here! If you just are not willing to archive a WiP on a public-access archive, myashke is offering up space on her site to host WiPs (whether that WiP would then be available for public access would of course be the choice of the author).
Hope you all enjoy - we look forward to another full week of reading and reccing!
