This was cute... I want the shirt!

Hey CLex fans out there. I'm in need of a little help. I found this doc on my hard drive entitled "UNTITLED MPreg" and apparently it was saved before I had the habit of putting a URL at the bottom of the source. I'm getting ready to do a massive upload to Theme CLex Recs of Crossover CLex and would like to move on to MPreg next. The doc is about 60 pages long and I swiped a snippet from about 20 pages in. Does anyone recognize the fic?  


 Thanks so much in advance,
Jules

I don't know how often, nor how long I will be able to keep this up, but I'd like to highlight some talented authors in the Smallville fandom. Although most have moved on to other fandoms, are writing as a profession,  or, life intervened.

I am still going to squee just a little every once in a while. Today, I read this short, funny story that had me searching out my files for more from the same author... I can only find 7 in all - but this lady packed quite a punch in the Smallville fandom. I did screenshots of how they appear on my harddrive as I like to read in a pretty interface - or whatever I deem appropriate for the fic :)  When I can, I will include remarks from others in the fandom who had previously recommended the same fics...

Without further ado... just click on the pics








vylit Violetsmiles had this to say...

Crucible by Destina Fortunato -- Ouch. This is painful, realistic, and extremely well done.







This is the one that started my quest this afternoon... written for the X-Titles challenge. I'd read Prophet of Eden a few years ago and plan to again very soon, however, Signs and Wonders got me with the first few lines of dialogue. I think other than That Old Schizophrenic Jealousy (if I'm remembering the title/plot right) I hadn't read any other fics where someone had watched/stalked Kent and come to this conclusion. You'll just have to take my word for it and read :)




Silk in the trees... flannel on the bed *sigh*




Here's svmadelyn's take...
Wetwork by Destina: Amazing, amazing story. Unique structure that I was in awe of, and had to read again immediately after because I felt like I needed to soak it in more.

My worldview is from a hospital bed in my home... it's not that bad but I can't wait till it's much better! I'm on the cusp of being entirely alone in this little house I built and will probably look for a housemate eventually to split meager expenses. I've raised 3 autisitic sons into young men for as long as I could handle it. LOVE them so much but alas, the last at home is almost 21 and will be placed in a group home within the next 4-6 months... not random, I researched the hell out of what was available and jumped through a decade worth of hoops to get there so he will be very well cared for. My life from here on out will be visiting the three in their very separate locations throughout the area (Jacksonville, FL and surrounding suburbs, one of which I live in)

Although I've basically used LJ as my hidden away secret from family and real life friends and just sank in to the loveliness of CLex and that long ago, albeit seemingly awesome fandom... I'm going to occaisionally put some real life here... most likely using this subject line every time.

In no particularly order:

• I do not know how to cut. I am a verified genius (it's true, I've been tested) but it is no help in LJ land when I look at the html tab as opposed to the visual editor tab and see the cut tags but they don't do anything to the post. This has been most concerting on theme_clex_recs as anyone receiving notifications is getting some extremely long posts... and I've only just begun there as I've cross-referenced my CLex stories to the point that I can find any fic, any time, in seconds.


• I've emailed back and forth with Teland, Te and to my utter fascination thete1 (I KNOW they're all the same person but I somehow missed that third part of her personality known as Thete). It doesn't take too much to thrill me but I'm having fun... and yeah, it's real life AND fandom :)


• My youngest son and I occasionally watch movies - we had a Die Hard marathon last week and we paused the TV for him to go to the kitchen to microwave himself something to eat. You can plainly see the TV over the bar into the great room... however, he became agitated and was working a little fast for him. I reminded him everything was Ok, we had all the time in the world and joked with him that neither of us have work or school the next day. His agitation, though, lie in the fact that we had paused Bruce Willis in a most uncomfortable position and he was hurrying to relieve him of that uncomfortableness.


• When carting one brother (I can drive very little, walk even less - 20ft or less a day till bone growth is complete) back home from a home visit with us in my very old lady luxury car (that is sooo comfortable - but a gas hog and currently without A/C). Both boys scrambled to put their windows up as we were leaving our little corner of suburbia. I looked in the rearview mirror and asked what they were doing as it is so hot right now - and in tandem chimed "Grass!" These particular 2 of my 3 are oil and water and very different emotionally (one hugs almost compulsively, the other would require you to have your shots up to date to accept a handshake) but this is the first time I've ever seen a "sensory sync" between them... at the smell of fresh cut grass no less.


• I ordered Revitaline for my mother online for $4.95 - a trial of some sort. It turns out I was redirected from my original landing page (and away from the one she actually wanted) and although the price was the same, the product was from an organization called Beauty and Truth who sold a similar product. It took 12min to find someone who spoke English when I selected that as my choice - I had visions in my head of red lights flashing, sirens blaring, and someone announcing to the operators in whatever native tongue was prevalent that someone had pressed #1 for English causing massive anxiety in their ranks. After the call was put through, a very circular conversation ensued about how I did NOT want the next shipment for $58 and as I was within their time parameter of 30 days (the button really should say press #1 if you want someone who speaks English as a second language) this payment could not occur - the operator steadfastly repeated herself as opposed to actually answering or addressing anything I said - and on speakerphone, as my mother was listening in as well. We were at first puzzled by this. However, a friend in telemarketing pointed out the fact that telemarking companies have response screens to certain words or phrases and their answers are popped up in dialog boxes for their convenience. This, of course led me to believe I was repeating myself quite frequently if she kept getting the same dialog trigger boxes over and over. Now, of course, mother wants the REAL cream from the right company and of course I acquiesced but have asked for a week to get over the first fiasco.


• I have been awarded a $25,000 grant from the county to fix/repair/update my house and make it user friendly for me while patching holes and replacing doors that 12 years of rambunctious autism has inflicted upon a house I built in 2004. (The house still looks good as new on the outside and a very good neighbor of 10 years has mowed my lawn and trimmed my hedges at no cost almost the whole time). One of the boys' caseworkers told me about the program a year or so ago - which is when I started filling out the paperwork. I now have a caseworker who helps me with scheduling doctor's appts, physical therapy, and any other resources out there offered. When I built, the two boys still living with me were 8 and 10. I kind of hunkered down - sometimes on the floor - with flash cards, role-playing games etc and focused on them - preparing the world for them in a sense. I only found out about Homestead exemption last year, and this year a complete property tax exemption if you are completely disabled... which I am. So, I will get a refund check most likely next month for the escrowed tax money for this year and my house pmt will go down to below $400 which is a step in the right direction. The house is worth $150,000 thereabouts but last appraised at $170,000. I've been truly blessed on my financial decisions and frugally live on less than $800 per month. I think I've succeeded, at least where my sons are concerned, as one asked me this week if we were poor. I told him if he has to ask, he has everything he needs.


• I'm bored most of the time unless my son(s) unwittingly say something that just makes you want to laugh out loud - but you can't and have to furiously text friends and family relating the hilarity of the situation. I usually save all these things up and share them in my Talks. Yes, I'm a public speaker - just not in circles most people know. I speak with Master's students who are going into the field of special needs and after my presentation there is usually 1-2 hours of Q&A depending on that semester's class size. The Talk has changed so much over the years - hormones and teenagedom almost did me in - however the house suffered the most. As far as I know, and have been told, I am the only parent of 3 autistic children who are from the same two biological parents (me and my ex) - at least this was the case in 2000 when the 3rd boy was diagnosed. We have been a part of numerous research studies which I hope someday help point to a cure - or at the very least a defective chromosone or two.

That's all for this week, month, etc... I could probably give a Talk every week at the college and have new material each time as there is always some funny misunderstanding going on here... Maybe next time I will tell the events leading up to each boy's need to have "the talk" that most father's should give and how that turned out ... it was the kind of thing that could have hit the papers and online except for a very understanding young girl and her parents as well as a Principal who had thought he'd seen everything up till that point.

Someone point me to a video tutorial...

That said, I have taken on the task of updating and adding new fics to theme_clex_recs and it'd be nice to not have such a long post show up as I don't want to bother or offend in any manner.

The newest updates are as follows...

Whatever it is... I'll watch!

For all you Chlark fans...



One of my favorite songs! I may have to search out some good Chlark fics now. Damn.

Does anyone have any idea if there is a fan cover for the Fic Card One: The Fool by Mistressace? I've found one link to a cover by fleurbleue but it no longer works as her journal has been purged. I would love to see it if any of you may have downloaded a copy. It's an excellent story... dare I say a classic in the Smallville world... and I LOVE this fandom's covers. I've got at least 50 authors already (If you don't see your name, it's either after Rose's or it's just a matter of time till I find you) with just the art from their SV fics and create my own colorful .pdfs to save, usually from the html download on AO3.org but I like my own color background (not white *my eyes, my eyes*) and your beautiful covers. So, if anyone would like to make me one in all that spare time I know you don't have, I'd love it!

Oh, and I have to sneak in here yet again to promote my new Martha Kent Living category on Theme_Clex_Recs especially for Mother's Day :)

I'm still stuck in a hospital bed until they replace the femur on my left leg like they've already done to my right and I am so totally in love with this fandom :)

p.s. I'm just letting the doctors do what they need to do to fix what they can that 3 very exuberant autistic sons did to me over the course of the last 20 years. They are 20, 22, and 24 now so my job is done ~ for the most part :) If you want to see them I just uploaded photos on flikr (they give you 1T free - don't think even I can fill that up) my user name is the same there "juruth64" :) They are WONDERFUL boys if I do say so myself and didn't need the father that left exactly 20 years ago and has not been seen since.

Thanks so much!
Jules
