Thanks so much to everyone who has left such kind reviews. They've made my week!

When she sent me back her final beta notes, sosmitten23 included some snippets from e-mails I sent while I was bouncing ideas for this story around. I was seriously doubting my ability to take the idea and execute it. Without her constant encouragement, and a lot of cheerleading from em_meredith and thestickywicket, I don't think I could have. I'm not sure how I got so lucky, but I seriously have the best betas in the world.

The smut is coming (hee!)...just not yet. You'll have to wait for chapter 3 for that. Hopefully, chapter 2 is enjoyable even without the nookie.

I must take another opportunity to thank the betas: sosmitten23, thestickywicket, and em_meredith. I do not, however, appreciate them getting their baseball cooties on me.

Author's Note: This is my Lukesmut Ficathon story, written for spy_barbie and Xenrielle. Since we didn't have an even number of authors, and they both requested similar things, I've incorporated both requests into a single fic. You can find their specific requests at the end of chapter three. Yes, I said chapter three. I'll be posting a chapter each day, mostly because I'm still editing chapters two and three. And don't worry, there will be smut.

There are not enough thanks in the world for my fabulous betas: sosmitten23, thestickywicket, and em_meredith. They put up with multiple drafts, my neurotic tendencies, and much whining along the way. Their encouragement and support made all the difference in the world.

Lukesmut Ficathon Stories

This is the master list for the stories in the Lukemsut Ficathon. Please post a link to your story in the comments. No links to ff.net, please! Stories may be posted at Black & White & Read, Lukewarm, or your own LJ. I'll do my best to keep this list updated, but I'm going to be on vacation with limited internet access from July 1-6. Just be patient with me.

Stories will be posted between June 29th and July 8th. If you're going to drop out, tell me now so that I can arrange for back-up. I'll start hounding people for their fics after the 8th (so you still have time).

Questions? Comments? Post 'em below. Please spread the word to your favorite authors and pimp this where appropriate. Happy smutting!

ETA: This is a smut ficathon. That means all of the stories should merit at least an "R" rating. They don't have to be hard core, smut-lite is fine, but they should include some smut.

ETA #2 - Sign-ups are now closed. Assignments will be e-mailed by the evening of Friday, May 27.
