Guess away. If someone suggests you're the author, don't refute or confirm.

As for my own comments...

I simply adored this fic and the title. As one who struggles with titles, I am doubly proud of those who make good ones.

Haha! I love Lois making Superman blush. That's a great line.

and this:

But as much as I love Lois teasing Superman, I love Clark teasing Lois even more.



Great job, you mysterious Author X!

Laura

Took me like two seconds to figure out who it is...I'll be in hell if I messed this one up.

*crosses fingers* and hopes. I have to be right. I have to. I have to.

And it goes without saying that this was stupendous.

My favorite line will probably be a surprise among all the gems here:

LOL!
alcyone

Also my favorite line.

I am going to guess Shayne? It's hot, and he knows hot.

Hee! Go on, Lois, show him the meaning of the word.

I have no idea - I'd say DJ, but she's not really writing LnC anymore. Maybe it's our own real-life editor, Jenn (EditorJax)?

No clue who wrote it, but holy cow!!! Leave us there?!?!?!

I want to know what happens from there [and no, not *that* - get your minds out of the gutter]. Do they get the story? Do they stop the evil traders in female flesh? Do they pretend 'companionship' for Clark and then some other guy gets an eye for Lois and Clark has to take him out [or does Lois?!?!] and they realize they're in love [well, Lois does because Clark already knows], and Lois figures out the secret or Clark tells her etc.

So... author X - where's the rest?
Carol [who wonders why they're all author X - shouldn't it be author a, author b, author c... author x, author y, author z? *ducks and runs*]

*shifty eyes* well, you see that would require intelligent thinking on my part and that's simply unacceptable.

/me has flashes of Jaxon, Lex and all the other Xs...

Carol

Lol! You caught me. Lex Luthor has been writing all of this fan fic. He's sending it to me under the name "Author X."

Aaaahhh!!! Alcyone, you are no help at all!!! You tell us you know who it is, but then you don't tell us who it is???

Well, if you are so sure who it is, I guess you think it's Sue, right? Yes, it felt a bit like Sue... it could be Sue... but it wasn't like, Suuuuuue!!!! It's yooooou! For one thing, Lois wasn't sufficiently - unpredictable, perhaps? No throwing herself off of balconies. No driving cars into ravines. (Of course, Alcyone, I guess you could also be implying that it's you! Not that it felt much like you, though! )

No, I think it's a bit more likely that it is... Jenn? Editor Jax? It was definitely sweet and sexy, and that is something Jenn can do, for sure. Also, Jenn, you have an eye for people's attire. So maybe you wrote this, Jenn!

Ann

LOL. What? Not dark and torturous enough?

Darn I've read this like two times, I STILL hold on to my first hypothesis and I can argue for it. But I will say that Shayne is a minimalist...this is not minimalist writing.

So yeah, I'm pretty sure buuuut...but what if I'm wrong? I hesitate to quote and point out bits because I am just so scared it might blow up in my face.

Ohhhhh evil authors who confound us!!

alcyone (who thinks this game will be the end of her)

I've changed my mind. This one wasn't written by Sue. The banter here doesn't feel like the banter Sue loves to write, and this Clark isn't sufficiently - well, edgy?

Ann

OK, I've decided to save my guesses for the end. But I'm making notes. And having suspicions.

Loved this one! The title alone was enough to make me love it, and then the librarian/floozy banter...

Great story

Caroline

Funny how when there is no Batman reference, suddenly no one thinks I wrote it. *giggles* Mind you, all the Batman refs are totally making my day.

This was a lovely story. And sexy, too. And it went really well with my morning coffee!!

I'm going to guess that Jax wrote this one.

DJ's not writing for us anymore? How sad! /me wants to snuggle up with my blankie

I don't think this was Shayne. It wasn't dark enough.

It could have been Tank, since Jimmy wasn't mentioned. (Tee hee)

It doesn't feel like Lara or Queen of Capes.

I know it wasn't James since there's no way he would have entitled that, and you know it wasn't me since there's no way I would pick on my hubby like that.

I'm going to click my heels together, recite "There's no place like home" and guess DJ anyway.

Elisabeth

LOL! Personally, I'd say that flying off into the night to infiltrate a prostitution ring while dressed like a "floozy" is as stupid as driving your car over the edge. Sure, she thinks she has Clark to help her out, but she doesn't know just how useful Clark could be in that capacity.

Dang - I hate/love this game. Everyone has me second guessing. Maybe it is LaraM. - and she's leaving out Batman just to confuse the hell out of us.

LOL I think I'm going to keep my guesses to myself until I see the list of authors. I have a feeling I'm going to look really silly in the end if I don't.

Who ever you are... I just want you to know when you are revealed you owe us another part to this story. You can't just leave it here. You have to show us where they pretend to be "companions". Come on this story is screaming for it...

<-- tears of laughter. That's a tag line waiting to happen.

I have a pretty good idea who this one is, but I think I'll keep my mouth shut in case I'm way wrong!

This piece is absolutely scantilizing? Is that a word or the right word, lol. I want more! The below is one of my very favorite parts and the last line rocks!


Less than a minute passed before she heard Clark stage-whisper, "Lois?"

She stepped out of the alley and grinned happily at him. He was alive and well and she couldn't stop herself from hugging him in gratitude. "I told you that you'd need my help."

Clark smiled and tightened his arms around her, exhaling a sigh against her cheek. "For the record, I didn't exactly ask you to do this. I was told you volunteered. Nice shirt, by the way."

"Thanks. Superman picked out it."

Clark gave her a wink. "That's why he's my hero."

Ummm. Maybe it was you then, Sue?

Anyway, whoever wrote it, it was great! Rocking the naughty librarian looks... that rocks!!!

Ann

Well, obviously, if I wanted anyone to think I didn't write a story, I would leave Batman out of it. I'd probably try something that I don't usually do. Like waffy or really hot that borders on "we're not in PG anymore" -- you know, different than my normal Bat-fics.

Or would I?

Bwahahaha!

Once the author has been revealed, I will join the mob clamoring for more parts! And if some of them needed to be posted in the "n" part of the boards, that would be okay too.

Until then...

I agree. This story needs finishing.

Even though DJ's not writing LnC anymore (I hadn't realized that), I'm going to guess that she wrote this.

Don’t put her in danger, Clark!

Awww....

Is this a TOGOM?

Awwwwww.....

You sure can. If you are going to be Angel, is Clark being Spike?

I love that Clark is so

Naughty elves and now naughty librarians!

Ack! No! You can’t end it there. This story MUST be continued!

My first thought was this was Nan-fic, but then when I read the bit about rocking the naughty librarian look, I wasn't so sure. Second guess - Lara Moon.

I'm no good at the guessing, but I really enjoyed this one. Whoever you are, I love your Lois and Superman interaction.

Once possibility that occurred to me, but she hasn't been mentioned yet, is ML Thompson. Could be her...

BJ

great story! I can't start quoting because I had to quote nearly everthing. lol

The first author I had in mind was EditorJax, so I guess it was maybe her.

DJ!! This one screams DJ!!!!
