Bah. Title-hunting.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hey! I got a request on Silverlake to archive "Redux"!
I forgot how seductive archive requests are.
I don't know where "Graveyard Shift" (post-"The Gift," Spike/Willow-ish) is archived, because I let my hotmail account lapse and lost all my feedback e-mail on that fic. Damn it. But I got a good handful of archive requests on that one.
Also, I think "Persuasion" (that little Spike/Giles bathtub-chains fic) is archived somewhere, but again, I lost all the e-mails.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I think "Oedipus Paradox" was archived at BBF, and I keep meaning to submit it to Glass Onion.
Teppy, archive requests are seductive. It's also a kick seeing your fic on someone's rec list. Oddly enough, I was recced on a French site. Go figure.
