I suppose I owe it to you, the public, to announce that our staggering genius is now available in one bite-sized piece.

[a clark/lex epic of staggering genius]

I'm very tired now. I posted Scully, I wrote and posted some staggering Lex and Clark, I started to beta [info]wearemany's My So-Called Life fic, I even wrote some Sports Night somewhere in there. So much fandom. So little Punk.

Would it be possible for me to marry this, um, story? Because, wow, I loves it very much. Brilliant, and funny, and I've seen a few people who try and write fanfic with experimental styles, but I've never seen it work like this. I'm so impressed. And I love it. Love it.

You wouldn't want to marry this story. It would make fun of you behind your back. It would lie to your friends when they called to talk to you. It would say you didn't want to talk to them, that you secretly hated them and only put up with them because they took you out to dinner. It would drink all the soy milk, even though it always complains how disgusting soy milk is, and then it wouldn't buy any more.

This story is fickle and jealous. You can't trust it. But I am glad you liked it. Shana and I had a lot of fun playing around with Eggers' voice and Lex's world.

Maybe marriage would take it too far. But I very much want to have a wild one night stand with this story. Complete with punctured mattresses, fractured bed frame and inexplicably smashed lamps.

And, yes, I loved it. And I was surprised but not really surprised how well Egger's voice and Lex's world meshed. Somehow it all seemed appropriate, and not like you were altering canon to fit into a specific style, which is the truly magical part.

Oh, yes, this fic is *made* for one-night stands, especially the kind with broken lamps.

I think Eggers' tone matched so well with Lex because Lex has a lot of the same sweeping epic grandness to him. I mean, come on, the guy's fascinated by ancient history and loves to say things like, "We have a future, Clark. I don't want anything to stand in the way of our friendship." Lex is all about grand gestures.

Definitely. Plus there's the fact that Lex has that sort of fractured density, where everything is sort of linked together, in a very odd way that only makes sense to him. Much like with Eggers. But, yeah, this was brilliant.

Thanks! Dave Eggers' writing style is so over-the-top it's just perfect for Lex and his enormous desires.

Oh this was far too funny - the cow was a personal favourite, but the diagram of the appartment and the phone was another sure highlight - I love the end, though: very very sweet, and it makes me never want to watch the series again because I know things can't end like this. /sniff.
