Recent Fanart...

[gnine]

Wow, three posts in a WEEK! *shocked gasp* I know...I'm terrrible! :-p.

Anyway, as most of my last few posts have been concerning, this also has to do with the continuing saga that is my obsession with Smallville. Last time, music vids (well, and random surveys ^_-), this time: fan art.

This pic is a scene from one of the last stories in the wonderful, awesome, amazing "Identical" series by Lanning Cook. Even if you're not at all into SV, I highly recommend this fic, especially if you like cute fluffly slash with healthy doses of h/c, adopted family cuteness, kickass plot, action and fun you-love-to-hate-'em villains! It is, in fact, what drew me into SV to begin with so...GO READ! If you do decide to though, know that this pic is a bit spoilerific...





Thoughts, comments, etc. much appreciated, even those unfamiliar with SV...

Have I mentioned that I hate you? I spent SO MANY HOURS reading that series after you recced it before. It's fantastic. <3 (But now I can't watch the actual series because the non-Identical reality will depress me too much.)

Lovely pic! I hope you do more illustrations from that series.

Heheheheh, I WIN! Ain't it great though?

(But now I can't watch the actual series because the non-Identical reality will depress me too much.)

Yeah, that is a problem...but really, that's what all the wonderful "fixing the rift" fics are for. Cause no matter how much the show splits them up, all the wonderful wonderful future fics which have them getting together after they've been enemies for years makes it all better! You know you wanna reeeeaaad them....(Yes, yes I *am* dangerous ^_-)

*watches the train wreck of my evenings in progress*

OK, you already recced some "fixing the rift" fics, and I liked most of them, though not as much as Identical. More recs?

LOL on your advice below not to watch most of the actual series. That's how I feel about Weiss Kreuz -- the fic is far better than the series.

(I love your icon, BTW.)

Hehhe, first off, be prepared that nothing is quite as good as Identical (at least in my opinion...god I can't wait for the next story in that!)

But there is still a LOT of good stuff out there. If you wander over to The Smallville Slash Archive there's a LOT of good stuff. If you do a search, some good authors are:
RivkaT (about half her stuff is happy and light and cute and the other half is dark and reeeally angsty and scary and often depressing...so, if you're not in the mood for that just pay close attention to the ratings/warnings/categories. Some of my favorites by her are "Rainbow Signs" "Yellow" and "A Life less Invulnerable" and "Switch: A comedy of Terrors).

Bagheera has only written a few fic but I LOVE her stuff...though it frustrates me terribly at the same time to think she's only 21 and English is her second language...I GRR at talented people ^_-

Corinna's Marilyn Monroe trilogy is great, love all three of 'em.

Also, some stories that I can't remember who wrote but loved of them, and you should be easily able to find under title search are:

Photographic Evidence
That Old Schizophrenic Jealousy
The Prometheus Project (LONG fic, EXCELLENT, rather dark but does have a happy ending and was definitely inspired by Identical, especially concerning how Lex interacts with the Kents.)
The Grope of Destiny (HILARIOUS and has one of the best lines ever)

Also, Neechan has been writing some, and while I'm clearly biased, I still say her fic are awesome and fun and she's writing this wonderfully long fantastic one that she should be posting soon so...You can find all her stuff at xparrot.

Well, that should keep you busy for now...I've got more when you need 'em..

Another fun author is Vivian Darkbloom. She has fun stuff, with a LOT of very graphic sex thrown in for fun.

Lady Ra only has a couple fix but they're really fun, especially "Drilling Holes" and "Eavesdropping".
