I had a little idea about Clark and Lex discovering something about themselves at a strip club but it seemed really familiar...am I trying to rewrite someone's story? Does this sound familiar?

i remember one where lex took clark to a strip club, but they wound up outside against a wall, together. ahhh, can't remember the title or author. but there's nothing wrong with using an idea your own way, i think. plus, i want to read it. :)

Sparks by Pru and jenn

Seedy by Rhiannonhero

are the two I usually think of for revelations at a strip club, but I agree with myownghost that you should apply your own magic to it.

Please?

*hugs and makes puppy eyes*

That seems like a general theme that's been done before, but it's not like you couldn't do it, too, and probably do it better than a lot of other stories out there.

I think I also remember reading a couple where Lex takes Clark out to a strip club for his birthday. But I agree with Quiet_Tiger! Just because other people have done strip clubs doesn't mean that you would do an awesome strip club fic, yourself! There's always room for more strip clubs, I say!!

It's like a tenative genre in our fandom.

I say go for it anyway! My lit professor says that there are no new stories out there, just good writers who make an old story seem new. ;)

I wrote one along these lines, but it was an underground club and Lex was submitting to this guy called Lucifer, and Clark got involved.

I wrote one at a strip club, Dancing at the Purple Parrot, but honestly, I think the club fic is almost a staple in the fandom. I wouldn't worry about it. Just do your thing. It's bound to be different from anyone else's just because it's yours.

I say go for it, I would love to read your take on the theme.

There have been a few about Clark and Lex at strip clubs, either working there or watching. But there can NEVER be enough stripper Clex... especially if you're writing it. ;D hehe

*hugs*

Oh Baby! I bet you can make it brand spankin' new! Go for it! :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not thinking that I'll bring something brand new, I was just afraid of rewriting someone else's story--literally! I read so much that I've forgotten huge chunks of what I've read and I'm always terrified it'll turn up in a fic I'm writing. *G*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

oh cool--thanks! wow...rereading those kind of lets me know I really don't have anything new to add! *G*

eta: Oh, did I tell you how much I *LOVE* your new icon?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wasn't thinking that I was bringing something brand new, I was just afraid that I was rewriting someone else's story--literally!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I was just afraid of rewriting someone else's story--literally! I'm always terrified something I read before will turn up in a fic I'm writing. *G*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

hwey, I don't even need to write it--there's tons! *G*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

ooooooh, did I read that? you mention but you give no links? Tsk!

Re: strip club fic

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

That's cute the way you put that like I might have missed it! *HUG*

It's bound to be different from anyone else's just because it's yours.

*g* I hope so!

[danceswithgary]

Oh no, the last thing I wanted to do was discourage you. *sigh*

The icon matches my new banner, all nice warm colors for those chilly days and nights. :-D

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

As long as I'm sure I'm not rewriting someone else's story, I think I'll give it a shot. I can always get danceswithgary to check it for me. :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Well, I might just give it a shot!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

lol! I'll try to make it readable at least! *G*

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

I sorry, darlin'! I thought maybe you had read it, and didn't want to pimp, LOL.

I hope you like it if you have time to check it out. :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

no no! I think I will try it--kind of an exercise to see if I can make an interesting story of it. :)

[ladydreamer.livejournal.com]

I think there can never been too many!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

wow! Just the way I like it, equal parts hot and angsty! And I can't believe I didn't get who Lucifer was--of course it had to be him!

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

Wow! Thanks! High praise from one of my mentors! :D

I'm glad you liked it. A lot of people didn't, judging from the mail I got.

[herohunter.livejournal.com]

I agree; anything that can be written, Shakespeare has already done. However, that doesn't mean we can't give it a whirl!

;D

I wrote one based on the song 'Closer' by Nine Inch Nails, remember?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

omg, don't make my wrinkly old brain cells work, send me links!!!

*clings and whines*

[danceswithgary]

More than happy to - anytime! :-D

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

Ooooo yeah that was a good one. :D
