Leading up to the Kerths we thought it'd be fun to post challenges to get everyone writing some fun and humorous/edgy stories, plot Untwists, episode rewrites, and changing timelines.
We will be posting one challenge a week. Your response can be either PG / NFIC rated just be sure to include the Challenge # when responding.
If you have a challenge you'd like to add to the mix just PM any of the KCOM and we'll add it in the weekly postings.

This one's too short and silly to be put in the regular story section: "All right, Lois. Time's up. What's your guess?" Clark leaned back in the car's seat, certain that his fiancee would never figure out whodunnit in their makeshift game of Clue. (They were on a stakeout hoping to break their next big story before the night's deadline, and while they were killing time, they decided to improvise the mystery game.) "Let's see... The Flash did it with a rubber duck in the bath?" Clark could hear the teasing quality in Lois's voice, and so he rose to the bait. "Lois, that has got to be the chumpiest guess you've ever made." Before she could start to formulate a reply, the person they were staking out came into view and they had to curtail the game. ---  Not the best entry, but all I had time for. And I've a feeling this may be my last post for a very long time. (My work starts again tomorrow, and this coming semester looks to be my busiest ever.) Joy, Lynn

Lois can only speak one word at a time? This is quite a challenge!
Do all of the word-limited characters have to be in the story? Also, do contractions count as one word or two?

The Weekly Kerth Challenge #11 got me thinking... Has anyone ever written a story with the following premise? When Clark starts developing his powers as a teenager, he tells no one -- not even his parents. His motives could range from the fact that teens often don't tell their parents things to his wanting to shield his parents from the knowledge that their son is "a freak." He keeps his secret hidden until Martha and/or Jonathan discover it somehow -- some time after Superman made his debut.
I'm not up for writing such a story, but I would love to read it if someone else wishes to pick up the plot bunny.
Joy,
Lynn
