Hi All! This idea came from a thread I have in the Off topic section where we were trying to come up with an idea for a new online company name. We got some really good ideas and it was so much fun I thought, "Why not infiltrate LnC into this somehow?" So would anyone be up for writing fics off of random titles people come up with? I forsee hilarious results. I guess we should have some way of claiming a title as your own or we could have multiple authors using the same title with different stories but that could get confusing. What do ya'll think? Okay here's my title: The Kleenex Box... Original I know.  Anyone up for the challenge?
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always
depend on the support of Paul.

I think the idea as a whole is great, but I also think it would be even more fun if multiple authors take the challenge. Each author is going to come up with something completely different, and that's the most fun part! There has been at least one similiar challenge in the past which resulted in at least two great stories: Dave\'s and CC\'s . I think this idea is definitely worth resurrecting. *stares at Kleenex Box for inspiration* Lisa

Great idea! Let's see... Stay Free? (Terrible I know but it is that hideous time of month for me). Maybe better ideas... I know! Did anyone ever watch, gosh probably 10 years ago now on the Disney Channel, a show called "Z Games?" It featured games that young children, sometimes early teens had created and played with their friends? At that time I was finishing up my education degree and was starting preschool teaching so found that show interesting. My point is "Super Games" as in a created game by say a super child of L and C might make for an interesting tale!

this is Nan not Tara. I'm babysitting at her place, so here I am on her computer.
Maybe someone would like to enlarge on this one:

I'll leave it to you to figure out that one.

Queen of Capes, I just read the zombie story and it is very funny indeed! Definitely could be a hw excuse. What I had in mind was say one of Clark's children was studying the moon and decided to fly to it for some up close and personal research and in the process some of his/her materials froze or whatever. That kind of thing.

There ought to be warnings against this thread. I looked on in it, in my unsuspecting innocence and before I can yell "Help! Superman", I am beset, bitten and beleaguered by an attack of plot bunnies! Those are some brilliant, brilliant titles! Favourites so far are "That Super Son of Mine", "Wildly Domesticated" (NFIC!) and "The Baby Sitter". And I am now being chased by "Mettalois".

Oh, right. I thought it seemed familiar. Was just realizing I should have checked.
I dunno. Was thinking of that scene in MJD where Supes is approached by the FAA and the IRS and the INS and everyone over his documentation. And of the fact that Superman and "green" don't exactly mix.
Oh well.

You are all so creative. How about this one? Fight or Flight I hope that at least a few of these get written. I've enjoyed reading "To Do List", which I think was inspired by this challenge. In honor of the "Pandora's Box" drabbles being posted to the archive today, what would you think of reviving the drabble challenge and using some of the titles here as the topic? Just a suggestion. BTW - Woody: Growing Panes (Don't ask me why I thought of that) Ooo, I see Tempus and a time window in this one, yes? BJ

Yup - I was just going to post here that "To Do Lists" was inspired by Missy's post [even though they both end up with a To Do List]. It can be found here. Carol [who is glad you're enjoying it ]

Thought I'd bump this one up to catch some attention. I created one inadvertently just a moment ago, which I thought I'd share:
Lex in the City.
Anyone have any new ideas?

Well, I've had one rattling in my brain for a while but never could figure out how to make a good story out of it. What if Clark was a professional football player instead of a reporter? Would that ever work? I know Clark played in "Smallville" at high school and there have been other football stories in past years, but I never could get one to gel right. Must be Superbowl fever! Fever I say!!! Artemis

Yeah, I read that. Might be worth another read after I finish the Kerth voting. Thanks for the reminder. Maybe I didn't see enough football in it.
