I'm in the mood to read some great Christmas fanfics. Anybody have some favorites I could look up? I know there's a Kerth category for these, but I'm sure there are some other great ones out there that I haven't yet come across.
Any suggestions?

I think my favourite ever Christmas fanfic has to be The Gorn's One and Only. Which is nfic, mind you.  I also adore Gina Blank's Have A Holly Jolly Christmas...Or Not which is a sweet Early Years fic. Another sweet one I recall was Jennifer Baker's I\'m Dreaming Of A White Christmas which I haven't read in years but remember as just a nice story about Clark and Lois having a family Christmas in Smallville.

My all-time favorite is Chris Carr's Some Kind of Angel , but then I'm a sucker for Alt-Clark. BJ ETA: I know there are three or four more favorites, but my brain won't give up the titles. I did find this one that I enjoyed with a quick search: A Little Bit More by Annie M.

I really like all the ones written by Tank.
Can I say that?
Tank (who's memory is too bad to remember any of the ones written by better writers)

For a very different Christmas story you could try "How I Spent My Christmas Vacation," by Nan Smith, an obscure writer who has temporarily nearly vanished from the fic boards.<g>

Second: Nan, don't disappear! I know you have posted some chapters - I want more! More! More! I want to know what happens in "Smallville" (isn't that from the "Four Days To Nightfall" universe?) I want to see more of the kids from the "Dagger" series. And I want to know more about what Clark and Lois find when they're exploring Lex's "ark" in "Games People Play". So: more! more! more! (please)

Okay, giggles... Since Tank and Nan did it, can I, too? How about Merry Christmas, Lois Lane by yours truly?

Rats! But the PG version of MCLL will have to stand on its own because I don't think the others can be pgified...

Can't you download the NC-17 version of "Merry Christmas, Lois Lane" to the archive? It deserves to be there! Also, I didn't know there was a sequel till I searched: Happy New Year, Kal-El

On an entirely unrelated note: can anyone remember the name of the fic I'm thinking of? It's where Lois cooks a turkey, Clark comes over for Christmas dinner, ambiguous sparks fly between them, and then Lois comes down with salmonellosis from not cooking the turkey sufficiently. Ring any bells? I can't remember the title.

Uhhh... Yes, Iolanthe, the nfic MCLL and Happy New Year Kal-El most definitely can't go to the arhcive. It's been suggested that I try to pgify HNYKE, but I just don't think it's possible (imagine trying to pgify the roof scene). I've never gotten around to sending them to Anne's Place but they are available here on the "other side". (And as Mellie keeps reminding me, there are more sequels that aren't finished.)
