Fanfic Round-up 2009
I have a couple hours left before The Great Reunion Boondoggle: New Year's Eve Edition starts. There will be 5 competitive games for the family that's so competitive, we will cheat, heckle and become violent in order to win "friendly" games.
Fanwise, I'm afraid this was the year of inconsistency. Some fics went out, beta'd and all, with practically no time or effort. Others, I'm still slogging through. I also had several madly giggling moments thanks to the feedback. Here's to meeting deadlines and more fic-inducing moments in 2010!
The Fics
Smallville
Sunshine
Characters: Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Conner Sullivan-Kent + cast of dozens (DCU)

Now there may be a way-- a very slight, possibly dangerous way-- for Lois to be pregnant with Clark's child. Meanwhile, Conner discovers unique growing pains tied to being a kryptonian-human clone. Sometimes in life, completion can be impossible to acquire.
