Forgive this breach of netiquette; I wanted to reply belatedly to the post you made on svroundtable, but am too lazy to hunt down said post, so I'll just comment over here--

I really wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed Omiai. I think I first read it a year ago, when I was still too lurky to talk to anybody, but your roundtable post reminded me of it and I've been taking refuge from the fandom nuttiness of the past week by reading it again. And it's truly excellent. So well plotted, all the way through; each new development is a surprise without being jarring or out of character. Thoroughly suspenseful, and completely absorbing, and I love how you've written both Lex and Clark. The sex scenes are SO hot, and each one of them does such a fantastic job of bringing out new aspects of the characters and their emotions. Every bit of reader-gratifying payoff in the story, from the angst to the sex to the schmoop, feels totally earned, if that makes sense. I find myself hoping you've written novels outside the realm of fanfic, too, so that I can go buy them.

Anyway, in an insane week, you've reminded me why I'm so fond of SV fandom in the first place, so thank you.
