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!

Party Tricks

"Hey, Bob, the new catalog's here...." Kyle's enthusiastic voice trailed off once he got the hotel room door open. His partner wasn't alone.

A young girl, eighteen at the most, sat naked on the floor, silently crying her eyes out, while Bob nonchalantly knotted his tie at the mirror.

"The new catalog? Great!" Bob totally ignored the girl at his feet and took the book from Kyle's unresisting hand. "Oh, we'll sell plenty of these in Nebraska!"

"What's - Is she okay?"

Bob glanced briefly at the girl, then returned to perusing the catalog. "What, Doreen? Just a little buyer's remorse. Don't worry, she was very willing last night, and swore she was of legal age. I have it all on tape." Rickman smirked and patted his briefcase. The girl cried harder.

"Bob, you can't - that's not what - Bob!" Tippet protested incoherently.

Bob loomed over him. Kyle had always been a little intimidated by the bigger man, and Bob knew exactly how to use his bulk to get into a person's space. "You have a problem, Kyle?"

Kyle looked down. He had to admit, he was the one who'd started the party tricks, using the handshake to get kisses from girls in bars. But he'd never take it this far!

"No, um, no problem, Bob."

"Good!" Rickman clapped Tippet heartily on the back. "Let's go make some sales!"

How chilling. I shudder to think about all the other girls he did that with. Poor Doreen.

Bob Rickman was a really chilling FotW, IMO. I liked Kyle finally deciding he couldn't just hide out, too. Re-watching "Hug", it was a really good episode!

Thanks for commenting!

That made me shiver! He was definitely one of the less appealing FoTW's, and you really captured him.

Thank you! The guy was really evil; I think he was one of their most villainous villains, and it was neat to see Kyle, with the same krypto-power but a totally different attitude.

I re-watched "Hug" before I wrote this; it was a Doris Egan (

tightropegirl) episode, and I thought it was really well done.
