Getting the 2013 summary out a bit late - too busy doing stocking stuffers. ^^ And work. And bettas. o.o Last year was pretty busy, and I didn't get anywhere near my writing goal. Maybe this year will be better {crosses fingers}. Still, I did get a few things out, so it's worth going back to see what they were.

The Story Index for reference.

( story poll and summary )

Yes, I know there weren't supposed to be more, lol. There were some gaps that needed fills.

8. Cold

9. The Years Between

I've been posting little ficlets going along with ctbn60's awesome wallpapers for our Clexmas season. (Stocking stuffers are little gifts for the community that are posted between the actual gifts the members give each other in the exchange.)

So far:

1. Winter Walk (goes with the Clexmas banner for this year).

2. The Exotic Dancer and the Millionaire

3. Christmas at Home

4. Three Minutes to Midnight (slightly angsty)

More to come! ;D

Hope you're enjoying the Holiday Season! :)

There's probably dozens of bunnies I have that will never get written because there's too many and there's too little time to write. But I was amusing myself by texting Sue Dreams about this one so it got written out in more bunny detail than bunnies normally get written. So I thought I'd share it with you all too in case you liked it. No story... but hey, bunnies are cute too. Right? ^_^

Title: Had a Great Fall
Fandom: Smallville - Pairing: Clex. Other main characters: Jonathan, Martha.
Rating: PG - Words: 26,000
Type: drama, romance, adventure, episode-related
Warnings: character deaths (not Clark or Lex)
Spoilers: Tempest S1 finale, Vortex S2
Summary: Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.... After the tornadoes went through Smallville (canon end S1 Tempest), brought down a portion of the Luthor castle, and trapped Jonathan in with a reporter that knows Clark's secrets, lives have been shattered, some irrevocably. For what is left, how then can they come together and be fixed? This story is about the journey to the end of the night... and the beginning of a new day.

Notes: For the 2013 Smallville Big Bang. This was plotted and conceived a long time ago. It’s probably one of my oldest plot bunnies and I've wanted to write it for awhile now, but there were always a few more urgent things to write. Finally, though, it just had to be done. ^^ Beta by Tainry - thank you!

Artwork: The art created for this story - cover and section banners and final portrait - was all done by the very awesome fruitbat00. Thank you so very much for it! It fits the story perfectly. :)

This is the artwork for the Smallville Big Bang, which started last week and is going on for a month. My fic contribution is coming out in a couple of weeks.

Title: Bourbon on the Rocks
Author: SaitouLover (thomp284)
Artist: Tallihensia
Beta: kuroiyousei
Word Count: 17,283
Rating: Teen+
Pairing/Genre: Pre-Clex/Angst, Hurt-Comfort, Reconciliation

Author’s Notes/Warning/Disclaimer/ Spoilers: I do not own Smallville nor do I make a profit off of it. Smallville belongs to Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.
Summary:

Lex heard the faint but distinct clink of ice against glass and he frowned. “You’re drunk.”

A breathy chuckle sounded from the other line, and the business mogul heard Superman swallow whatever was in the glass. “I am.”

“You can’t get drunk.” After two years of constant observation -- what some would call stalking -- Lex had been sure that getting drunk was impossible for the invulnerable alien.

“Given the right ingredients, I can.”

( story art under the cut )

This story was a very lovely one to work with as an artist, with imagery straight out of the title and then pulling in the elements from the story that the author gave me to read. I drafted a few different original art concepts for thomp284, and we went over them and then chose one base to go with. From there, we kept flipping through different character screen caps until we found ones that really resonated with the author for expression and mode of the characters and that I could work with on the piece and the balance. Cleaning it up for the fine detail and selecting fonts for the title were the last, not insignificant parts.

I really enjoyed working on it, and am very happy with the results, though it took a lot longer than I expected and ended up having to give up my second Big Bang artwork in favor of finishing my own story (lol, the hazards of doing both). But I hear the second author is happy with her art too, so all's well with that! And I've finished my own story now! Yay! Off to beta and it'll be polished by publishing time. ^^

Go read the story and leave comments for the author - first Smallville story! ^___^ Hopefully not the last by far.

Title: Phased Worlds

Notes:
Interlude in the Not A Villain series after Making Plans. (Really, the conclusion to a three-parter that started with Islands, but it was too long for one story from the start.) 9th in the Conner series, "Not a Villain" (10th if you count the prelude). (See the Master Post for links and summaries to all stories.) Betas by Ronda and Sue, thank you! :) Cross-posted to Archive of our Own.
