Are you skilled at blah? Do you have a talent for the humdrum? Can you write prose that would make even the most steadfast fan fall asleep?
Then this challenge is for you!
Write a boring fanfic.
No need to be longwinded, but the more tedious, the better. Any repetition of themes done ad nauseum is also a bonus.
Ready? Set? Go!

Er... why?
Interesting, unique, and somewhat amusing request, but... why?
Paul
(Clark opened the phone book, hoping to find Stephanie Wong's number. He flipped to the Ws and started reading.
"Wong, A (219)555-3476. No, that's not it. Wong, Amy (219)555-8721. No, that's not it. Wong, Aron (219)555-2298. That's not it, either...")
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

You know, Paul, that really did not meet the challenge at all. As Labby's reaction (and my very similar one) attests.
Tsk!
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

*Hangs head in shame*
I tried.
I'll figure out this "serious writing" thing some day...
Paul, still wondering... why?

Clark was speaking to his child. "A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z and that is the alphabet. These are numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10" In came Jimmy. "Let us watch television child" And so they did. And that is how Utopia was created.

Hey, this is my level of writing ability!!!
Ralph came into work and sat at his desk. He turned on his computer and sat down. He then tapped his pencil then leaned back into his chair. He was so comfy he feel asleep. Since it was Ralph, Perry sent him home.
The end.
**Now** if it was Clark instead of Ralph, I'd find this tiny paragraph still entertaining. Sigh.
K. That wasn't even funny.
I've converted to lurk-ism... hopefully only temporary.

Paul, I was sort of being facetious. I wasn't looking for actual fics, but SuperRoo and Jensguy got it about right.
I wanted to see if people could come up with short, yawners that were kind of funny.
I have a weird sense of humour. I admit it.

Paul, Jensguy and Roo: That's a fun challenge, Capes! See ya, AnnaBtG.
What we've got here is failure to communicate...

Always a pleasure Labster! And for that nice applause, you shall be rewarded. I'll send the only good looking one off of Desperate Housewives round to your place in the morning.
Have fun;)

ROTFLMAO! Erm...yes. The hazards of a non-gender specific nick. That cute guy Teri's character dates in DH would definitely be more my style, Jensguy. Or Clark, of course. I wouldn't say no to Clark being dumped on my doorstep, tied up with red ribbon. LabRat

Sorry Labster, I'll get the guy Teri's character dates in DH delivered soon. Oh, and if you've no use for Teri, I'll swap you her for Dean Cain, who's been delivered here by mistake.....
