Non-HP Sandbox
I'm happy for all my HP-loving friends on their big day. But I feel a little left out on LJ today. So I thought of a game we Smallville peeps can play.
The Smallville Drabble-a-Thon
Our show offers so much to stir our drabble-writing imaginations, whether it's the long, lingering glances between Clark and Lex in pretty much every episode in S1, Pete checking out Chloe's ass in the rearview mirror in "Rush," or the Lionel-in-Clark lust for mamma Martha in "Transference."
Every episode of Smallville gives us something to write about, a missing scene to add, a wrong we'd like to right. So I propose a drabble-a-thon that does just that. Below you'll find a comment with the name of every Smallville episode that's ever aired. Choose one and write a drabble based on that episode. When you're done, leave it as a comment to the episode title. If you're having fun, do another one! My goal is to have a drabble for each one, so the drabble-a-thon will go on as long as that takes. *g*
Come on out and play! You know you want to. If you don't want to write a drabble yourself, have fun reading them and be sure and leave the authors some love in the comments to their drabble. And please, help spread the word!
And to my lovely HP friends, if you need a break, we'll be here.
ETA: By drabble, I mean something short enough to fit into the comments. It doesn't have to be exactly 100 words, although it can be, if that's what you prefer. Have fun with it!
Here's a running list of drabbles we have so far:
Pilot
Metamorphosis
X-Ray
Cool
Hourglass
Craving
Jitters
Rogue
Shimmer
Hug
Leech
Kinetic
Zero
Nicodemus
Stray
Drone
Crush
Heat
Red
Ryan
Dichotic
Visage
Prodigal
Fever
Visitor
Exodus
Exile
Phoenix
Extinction
Slumber
Perry
Shattered
Asylum
Delete
Velocity
Obsession
Truth
Memoria
Forsaken
Covenant
Jinx
Spell
Bound
Scare
Pariah
Blank
Ageless
Commencement
48 down, only 40 more to go!

Re: Drone
He hadn't looked at the contents in a long while - they belonged to a past he'd walked away from years before - but now Lex took his time going through them. There were a surprising number of photographs, the colours as sharp and bright as when Chloe had taken them. There were other reminders too, cards and a few hand-written notes, and bundled up with them Lex found what he was looking for.
He pulled out the somewhat creased flyer, smoothing the paper with his fingers. "Clark Kent - The Man of Tomorrow" stared back at him from the page and Lex sighed reminiscently. Clark had lost his election, all those years ago, but Lex could remember confiding his own presidential aspirations in the boy. He wondered if Clark still recalled that conversation too, or if he'd pushed everything pertaining to their friendship out of his mind.
Somewhat wistfully, Lex found himself wishing that he could ask Clark, but they hadn't spoken outside of interviews and press conferences in far too long. As he focused on that night in the Talon, Lex remembered Clark ruefully admitting that when Chloe had asked him what he stood for, all he'd been able to think of to say was truth, justice... and other stuff.
A faint smile curved Lex's lips at the memory. There was a part of him that couldn't help reflecting that maybe those really weren't such bad things to believe in.
Lex picked up the flyer, folding it with care, and put it back in the box, along with the photos. Then he replaced the lid, shutting away the images of his younger self and Clark, together and smiling. Happy. Lex opened a drawer and firmly set the box inside before sliding it shut again.
It was time to face the real world. Lex had a job to do.
