Note: work stuff means a delay for the rest of these, sorry.  But they will come!

for jackycomelately: Smallville, Lex/Clark—spanking. Clark just loses it and puts Lex over his knee. He's mortified later, but Lex actually prefers it to another cold moralizing lecture. Note: strayed a bit from the prompt. Warnings: see prompt!  PG-13.

( Hit or Miss )

for thefourthvine: Clark/ Lex, Sexting. AU: they’re still friends in Metropolis.  NC-17.

( DYAC )

1. for daria234, Chuck: Ellie doing something she thought she would never do (maybe to protect Chuck?).
( First, do no harm )

2. for ceares, The Vampire Diaries--"It's okay to love them both, I did." Damon/Katherine/Stefan--what if things had played out like Katherine planned and she'd gotten to keep both boys with her. PG-13.

( What you always wanted )

3. for runpunkrun, something with Lois and Lex. Clark/Lois and much UST. Rating: R for dirty talk.

( Elephant in the room )

4. for roque_clasique, SPN, curtainfic in which Dean was injured badly enough that they had to stop hunting. Note: schmoooop. PG-13 only for pottymouth.

( It's curtains for Sam and Dean )

Happy Hanukah!

For meret: Elena/Stefan/Damon. PWP (not just Elena in the middle). Very NC-17.
( Have some threesome. )

for samsom: Old school CLex, Clark's first grown up party. *is nostalgic* Very AU, schmoop.
( Definitely Not a Nashville Party, PG-13 )

This (unfavorable) review of The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss made me smile.

If you’re wondering about S&P’s threat to downgrade US debt, you might want to check out the story of one of S&P’s greatest hits, a CDO of CDOs for Magnetar, as reported by the Pulitzer-Prizewinning series by Pro Publica.

Also, a relatively new Steven Brust short story, The Desecrator.

further was kind enough to include A Life Less Invulnerable in a big list of SV recs, And it reminded me of something that was unusual for me as a writer about that story, but that I thought worked.  I thought of the story very cinematographically: it consists of three segments and two focus pulls.  The first segment is written in what seems like objective POV, with no real access to interior thoughts, then it pulls back to Clark, then it pulls back to Lex (who, I'm afraid, I tend to write as seeing more of the details).

Does anyone else ever write like that?  Not imagining the scene visually, but actually thinking about writing as borrowing techniques from other media?  I'm interested in these kinds of crossovers, like when comic book techniques enter movies and TV.
