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.

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).

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.
