rec: astolat

[nonotthatone]

I am so damn new around here that I don't suppose I can find anything to rec that you all haven't read already. So this may be more for me than anything else.

Through a circuitous path and sue_dreams' divine intervention (you are my fairy godmother girl, srsly) I have just spent a few precious minutes decompressing with fic by astolat. Tons of stuff here

astolat is awesome. :) Sue and I were talking about that a few weeks ago, and we both actually got into Smallville fandom *because* of her fics. ^__^ I was in SGA at the time and a devote follower of her fics when she posted a Smallville one. Which I read. Then devoured the rest. Then went looking for others. ^^

Hope you get your writing focus back soon! Even if it's about Clex blowing things up. ;D

[nonotthatone]

She is hot like awesome. I've read a whole bunch of them already! It's always fun to discover an author like that, who pulls you in and won't let go.

[seagull2eagle]

Have you read the Temeraire series? Napoleonic Wars with dragons. ^^

There is a connection... ^__^

[nonotthatone]

Oh dear. My "To Read" list is already inconceivable ... but ... dragons ...

I think that was actually the only fic (*checks, and yes, it was*) by astolat that I hadn't read yet. And I probably would have avoided the dark fic warning (I imagine that's why I skipped it) if you hadn't mentioned it by name and linked it. ^__^ Thank you.

Clex as arson would be hot like burning. >D I hope with things at work as they are now (I already poked at your win post) that you might find the energy to write. ^__^ Insanity testing requires fic.

Bippity boppity boo.

There's actually a song I've been waiting to inspire me for some time now in re: Clex. Maybe I need to stop looping For Your Entertainment and loop it instead to try and force the hands of the muses :) it's called "Love Set Fire" by Moxy Fruvous. I'd link you but it's apparently so obscure that a quick google turns up nothing. I can sendspace it though, if you'd like :)

And thank you, Fairy Clexmother, but at over 81k words this one's gonna have to wait!

[sue_dreams]

A link for download would be fantastic, because I didn't have any better luck with google than you did.

The fic is good (one of my favorites) and is steeped in musical references, which... makes my geeky musical heart very happy.

Love Set Fire

I will add it to my list :)

...I don't suppose I can find anything to rec that you all haven't read already.

You should definitely always rec whatever it is, even if you think someone's read it! I know there are tons of fics I've skipped over the years and there are more still that I'd love to read again (and I bet others feel this way, too!)

I really want to be writing, kids. I want it bad...

Me too! I even have the time to write and I just don't. Last quarter, when I didn't have as much time, I told myself, "Next quarter, things will be different; you'll write constantly!" I can't focus either, and just let distractions take over.

I even have the time to write and I just don't.

LOL, oh, I hate you. I did a ton of writing when I was still in school, but that was **mumble**years ago :) I miss those times ...

[myfablexy]

Ehy, thanks!!
Have devoured *Waiting for yes* and fallen to a spell...it's unbelievably stunning!!! THANKSSSSSSS!!

And can't wait to read your job as soon as you can!!
Love your view of things.

:)

Wasn't that story AMAZING? I love early-season Lex and his tenderness, but an evil Lex is also so delicious, and I love the idea that he and Clark were never enemies - that it's just Lex doing what he can to possess Clark utterly.

Thank you :) I'm not promising anything soon, but I do have things I want to write and as soon as I find the time I will be working on them.

I'm glad you found something you liked so much. She is stunning. One of my favorite stories is by her. It's called Eggplant.

Another of my favorites is Drilling Holes. I can't bring the author to mind right now, but if you haven't read it, I'll look up the link for you. It's an alien Clark story, and just marvelous. The author is another one with really good stuff.

I hope you find your focus soon. I'm looking forward to reading more of your stuff. If you want anyone to bounce ideas around with, give me a holler.

[nonotthatone]

I read Eggplant this morning :D it was FANTASTIC.

I will always take links! Gimme gimme :)

[twinsarein]

Lady Ra is the autho of Drilling Holes, and the link to her SV stuff s here: http://www.visionsofprettyboys.com/Smallville/Smallvillestories.htm

Easvesdropping is another marvelous story, as is Gene Therapy. Hell, they're all good. I haven't read the newest yet - one of the troubles of writing so much. No time for reading. Anyway, I hope you enjoy, when you have the time and inclination to read them.

Btw - you still owe me a prompt. No hurry, as I have other fics ahead of yours, but when you can...

[nonotthatone]

Iiii knooooooooooooow (this is me whining :) ) I am going to give you something by ... the end of the week, ok?
