Do I need Smallville background? Love to read it, but I've never watched the show. Still, if you wrote it, I'm there. Hook me up?
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Nah, not really. No explicit cannon. It's in the PPO thread. Just go to "Buffistas Home" and then find the thread marked PPO.

The PPO Thread ... my guiltiest pleasure. I don't watch the show, but I read the slash. But I hear Clark's wandering around in a leather duster these days? What evening is that show on again?

SA, found and read - was that a young Lex? From the little I know of the canon (show or Superman history in general), I love how human that was. And there was that sensational paragraph about his hands being more feminine. Nice nice nice stuff.

It was first-season Lex. Which, since you don't watch Smallville, is 21-year-old Lex. Thanks for the comments.
I have an author rec for you, actually. Someone I host, Alex Dollard. She writes fic in what I consider to be a similar style as yours, so you might enjoy her. She's got a nice body of work.

SA, I just read two of Dollard's stories; the first one (Buffy/Spike, ater "Wrecked") was competent, but it didn't have much of a resonance, or anything to really distinguish it for me or give it a voice that was sign it as any specific writer's,
The second one, Red Flag Danger?
Superbly written. Oh, yes, indeedy. That was a corker. I'll need to read more of hers and see, but if she hones the voice and uses it consistently? Damn.

Yeah. Her stuff is consistently well-written, but some of it just shines.

I'd love to see Dollard fasten on the one voice; just from skimming a couple, it felt almost as if she was unsure as to whether it was OK to stick with her own voice for a particular character, or a particular kind of story.
If she does keep what felt like her own voice (Red Flag had it, in spades, on every level), she'd be a total killer. Beautiful work.
And of course, there's no way for me to tell her that without sounding like a pompous arrogant pedant. Which I'm not (a pedant).
