"I tried to have cyber-sex once, but I kept getting' page not found' errors." Made me laugh out loud.

It been fun updating some of the lines - amazing the changes in technology in such a short time span. :-D

Thanks!

oh, i love this premise most of all! books, mmmmm.

[danceswithgary]

I was having a little trouble getting a handle on this one, but it's coming together. Definitely different from any of my others. :-D

Thanks!

Yay, a new story!

This looks like it's going to be really cute..

[danceswithgary]

I think we needed something a little lighter after the last two long ones. :-D

Thanks!

Yay! A new story for the new year! :D

Personally, I didn't care for the movie much, but the Clex always makes everything better. :) I always love how you fit SV characters into different movies.

[danceswithgary]

It wasn't my top choice, but it got the most votes on the poll after Regarding Henry - so it was next up. I've found some good pieces that I think fit Lex and Clark and I'm treating some of the minor characters a little differently. I hope it all works out. If not, then the next one starts only a few days after this one's done. Right?

:-D

Thanks!

Hee! A new wip!
Great start!

Btw, it's not 'Aprez vous, mademoiselle!' but 'Après vous, mademoiselle!' ;-)

[danceswithgary]

Oops, I knew I should have looked it up. :-P That Clark just has a terrible accent, doesn't he. Fixed it! :-D

Thanks!

Yay, a new one.
I love it so far and look forward to more. :)

[danceswithgary]

I do enjoy writing and so happy you're reading and commenting. Thanks!

*runnning in, late as usual*
I'm here! I love it!! I'm going on to the next bit!

[danceswithgary]

No problem! Here's your drink and the rest of the 'crowd' is over there waiting. Glad you could make it! No crowd, you say? Well I hope it's because everyone is still recovering from the holidays. *looks around for the usual suspects*

:-D

Thanks!

Amazing first part! On to the next one.

[danceswithgary]

Thanks! :-D

WOO HOO!!!!! ***Jumping up and down Like an idiot :) ***

[danceswithgary]

A little excited are we? *grin* Thanks!

[miche-connor.livejournal.com]

Why didn't I friend you before? I thought I had! But look, you have fic for me to read--and I love it!

I never saw "you've got mail" but I sure want to, now! As always, your characterizations are just perfect and eminently recognizable even in this setting.

I can't wait to read the next parts.

:)

[danceswithgary]

It's funny, I thought the same thing when I saw you had friended me. Well, we've straightened that out now. Glad you're enjoying so far. :-D Thanks!

listen, i know you have about fifteen fics in the air right now with requests for about twenty movie adaptations, but seriously; if you are willing to watch "the Lake House" just to see if it's something you'd want to adapt to the CLex, i'd be willing to sell you my firstborn child.

cheap.

just felt the need to tell you that.
i mean, i'd try to do it myself, but i just don't think i'd be good at it. you're the uncontested queen of adaptations. or at last as far as i can gather around here.

anyway, yeah.
you rule.
*goes back to burying herself in her third read-through of this fic*

[danceswithgary]

You're not the first one to suggest the movie and I actually have some notes on it just from previews I've seen. It's on my watch list. *goes back to working on one of the umpteen fics in progress*

Thanks!

>>So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are, can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self.>>

i think i missed how brilliantly this line was first time around.

it's insights like this that keep the world spinning on its axis.

[danceswithgary]

That brilliant line belongs to the scriptwriter as do a number of other insightful lines, I only tweaked when it required for Clexifying. She made the process fun, working around lines like that. :-D

[touchstoneaf.livejournal.com]

I do hope you know you've ruined this movie for me (not to mention Regarding Henry). I tried to watch both again after reading these, and...

blah.
i can only be satisfied by the boys' versions now!
hence the constant re-reads, LOL
*hugs you*

[danceswithgary]

That is just one of the best sort of compliment I can get. *twirls giddily*
