Title: Why Tempt Fate?, 1/2
Category: CrackSmallville
Prompt: #003, Small Spaces (Clois 100 Challenge)
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,111
Summary: Mmm, cake. ;-)
Author’s Note: Why do I suddenly only write steamy scenes set in kitchen-y areas?? While you ponder that question, I will tell you that this fic is complete and utter crack! Let there be no confusion that it is ANYTHING ELSE. That being said, do enjoy the cracktastic fantasy of it, m’kay?? ;-) Also? Thanks [info]htbthomas, for encouraging/promoting the crack! And thanks most of all for being such a super super-beta!

(More tempting than cream cheese frosting!)

Title: Tell Me a Story
Author: [info]bistyboo1974
Fandom: Stardust (Movieverse)
Pairing(s): Tristan/Yvaine
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,708
Disclaimer: I wish I could claim these characters as my own, but I can’t. Nothing belongs to me, sadly.
Author’s Notes: This story is inspired by the film version of Stardust, but I couldn’t help but sprinkle in a bit from the novel, too. If you’ve read Neil Gaiman’s book, you’ll probably catch the references. If not, no worries. This was mostly inspired by the movie. :-)

Also, I’ve gotta give thanks to [info]majiklmoon, [info]htbthomas, [info]sean_montgomery, and [info]chickadilly. These fine ladies gave this ficlet their stamps of approval, and I’m so grateful to all of them for taking the time to do so.

Finally, this story is dedicated to the wonderful [info]truelovepooh. *HUGS* Much love and lotsa healing vibes to you, m’dear! ♥ I hope you enjoy this.

(Tell me about Mother Moon, or singing songs with your sisters.)

*~*~*

I know it's been AGES since I've updated this journal, but that's basically been because I haven't been inspired to write anything of consequence lately. *LESIGH* The story above was written earlier in the year, for a friend. (BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, POOH!) If you click the link, I hope you enjoy. It was written with lotsa lurve!

And soon -- God, I hope I'm not jinxing myself! -- I hope to post something BRAND-NEW! *dusts off journal* Dunno if any of you will be interested, but I thought I'd give you a heads-up. ;)

If you want to blame someone for this, [info]htbthomas is the person you're looking for! *LOL* 

This is about 300 words longer than an official drabble, and completely and utterly cracktastic.  Please, forgive me!  It features my two favorite characters from the comic book Runaways...and a pretty obscure reference from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.  God help us all!  *gigglesnort*

Title: From This Day Forward
Author:  [info]bistyboo1974
Category: Movieverse, AU
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 6,062 (total)
Summary: Niagara Falls is so 1980! In this tale, our pair of Daily Planet reporters are in the sunny southeast, sniffing out scams at a Charleston beach resort for the newly married.
Spoilers: Superman II, obviously.
Disclaimer: Much of the dialogue in this story was respectfully borrowed from Tom Mankiewicz’s Superman II shooting script (although a lot of it has been ‘tweaked’ just a smidgen, for my own twisted purpose). The situations in this story are his. I boldly relocated the characters to suit the current  [info]12days_of_cloischallenge (Around the World in 12 Days). I clearly don’t own the characters, nor do I gain anything monetarily from chronicling their little frolics and adventures. I do so solely for my own amusement and for the amusement of others in the fandom. Don’t sue me! Please!

Title: Life Belongs to the Living
Author: [info]bistyboo1974
Characters: Lois/Clark
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,018
Disclaimer: These characters aren't mine. I don't claim that they are, however I do enjoy playing with them in this little universe I've created. Don't sue me for that, please!
Summary: Every moment on this planet is unpredictable. This is a story about moving on, and about learning to live with whatever life throws at you.
Spoilers: Anything from the Superman movieverse is game.
Author's Note: Big hugs for [info]htbthomas, who took care of beta'ing this chapter SO MUCH quicker than the author did writing it. *blushes a deep shade of crimson*  Which leads me to the big fat apology for making you guys wait soooo long for an update.  Please forgive me?!  *begs*

I've been working on Chapter Twenty-Eight! I swear to you, I have! And this is a four-day weekend for me, so... *fingers crossed* If the Fates are kind, there could be an update or two! Yes, I said TWO. ;-)

Proof that I've been working and not just screwing around listening to catchy pop songs on my iPod. )

Don't fret.  Life Belongs to the Living hasn't been forgotten.  Two upcoming chapters are in the works, and nearly ready to go 'live.'  When real-life slows down a bit, that ball will get rolling again, and fast!  ;-) In the meantime, here's my submission to the [info]12days_of_clois Valentine's Day challenge.  ENJOY!

Title: Two Become One
Author: [info]bistyboo1974
Rating: PG-13 (for language)
Word Count: 3,603
Summary:  Clark Kent had to concoct a story when he first met Lois Lane.  In this story, one man became two.  So in Lois's world, there was a dashing, fantastic superhero and a drippy hayseed of a reporter.  Nowadays, things have changed.  Lois Lane has slowly come to realize that her 'cold heart' is thawing when it comes to her fellow reporter, and that perhaps she sees Clark Kent as more than merely a wheat from the Midwest.  But the time has also come for those two men to become one again...
Spoilers:  There's nothing overtly spoiler-y in here, however I do base my characterizations on Tom De Haven's Lois and Clark, to some degree.  Be forewarned.
Author's Note:  This story is loosely set in De Haven's It's Superman! 'verse.  Don't feel like you must read the novel prior to reading this ficlet -- although I strongly recommend reading it at some point in time!  If you're a Clois 'shipper, you'll have no problem dropping yourself right into the story.  Thanks ever so much to [info]htbthomas, the fandom's resident super-beta.  And to [info]ancarett, who was generous enough to create the lovely story banner you see below.  *hugs both ladies*

Author's Note:  Thank you, [info]htbthomas.  You pulled me through some muck to get this one posted, and I am very appreciative of your efforts, both as a beta and as a friend!  Thanks also to [info]majiklmoon, who has no interest in the SR fandom to speak of , but who is also a very dear friend.  She offered me some moral support last night and this morning, and I'm grateful for her efforts to keep me sane and on-track with revisions.  Lastly, apologies to all of you who've been waiting EONS for an update on Life.  My real life has been full of stresses and strains for a while now, so this story (unfortunately) was always pushed to the back-burner.  The good news is, I'm off from work until January 3, so I predict getting more updates posted before then.  I've been hard at work composing Chapter 24 this afternoon, so don't think I'm pulling any legs when I say that.  ;-)  Hope you enjoy this one, y'all.  It was no easy task bringing it to you!  *smoochies*

Title: Winter Light
Author: [info]bistyboo1974 
Category: Superman Returns
Rating: R, for mature content. 
Word Count: 6,435
Summary: Lois finds peace during a frenzied and frantic season, finding serenity in the simple joys brought on by a change in the weather.
Spoilers: Obviously, if you haven’t seen Superman Returns yet, you may find this piece to be a bit spoiler-y. But, honestly? If you haven’t seen Superman Returns yet, I’ve got to wonder what you’re doing in this community. ;-) Also, this story is set in my Life Belongs to the Living universe, sometime in the future (I’m intentionally vague on exactly when in the future, however). I don’t think Winter Light contains overt spoilers for that fic, however, and it isn’t actually necessary to sit down with Life for background reading, either. Although, I won’t object if you decide to do so. *coughshamelessplugcough*
Author’s Note: Heaps of thanks to [info]htbthomas for doing a beta reading at the eleventh hour. If Barbara is the Queen of Evil Cliffies, I wear the crown for putting things off. All hail the Queen of Procrastination, folks. 

This story is posted over at [info]12days_of_clois, in two parts.

The good news is, I'm not dead. *knows some of you may have been thinking it* The bad news is, I've still yet to finish my latest chapter of Life Belongs to the Living...but it is in the works. Real life is a bear, but I'm trying my best to make some progress during my Thanksgiving break. Hopefully five days off from work will allow me some valuable writing time. *crosses fingers*

And while I wanted to come in here to update you on my story progress, I also wanted to fill the friends of [info]muggleglum in on this:



[info]12days_of_clois will "officially" be launched the day after Thanksgiving (November 24). It's an LJ Community devoted to posting holiday-themed Clois ficlets in the twelve days leading up to Christmas, and I'd love for all of you to join. :-) Our list of authors is spectacular, and I know you'll all thoroughly enjoy the holiday fic you'll find there next month!

Special thanks to [info]khallandra for the beautiful banner, and to [info]therealmarajade, for her part in commissioning said banner. *smooches*

Title: Lost in the Darkness, 1/1
Author:  bistyboo1974
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,053
Disclaimer: In case you haven't noticed, I merely play in this fictional universe...I don't own it. Sucks to be me.
Summary: Our hero is lost in silent darkness after dealing with the daunting task of hurling New Krypton into outer space. But whispers in the dark help him find his way back to the light. This story sprang to life while listening to Somewhere by Within Temptation. Pretty, pretty song. *sighs*
Spoilers: Superman Returns, naturally.
Author's Note:  htbthomas informs me that this topic has been covered by a couple other authors. Try telling that to the batshit-crazy plot bunny that mugged me on the way home from work, Barbara! ;-) I had no choice but to write the darn thing. I hope everyone enjoys.
