Plus, okay, a lot of people that I generally have the same taste as have loved the show, so I knew I had to check it out. I was just reluctant because I knew it'd been cancelled already before I'd even heard of it. *grumbles*. (I'm a big fan of Whedon, though, so I knew eventually I'd have to watch.)

Yes, it was so unjustly canceled before it ever even had a chance to live. (Stupid Fox morons...) But it was soooo awesome it just wouldn't stay dead and it became the only cancelled TV series ever to be made into a major motion picture. It's actually quite the cool story. There's a little about it on the Movie DVD that's worth checking out when you get that far.

Yay another completed challenge of which I know nothing about the characters! lol Although I did watch a few episodes of this one when there was a scifi channel mini marathon going on.

I should write a Highlander or Numb3rs one lol

OOoh! I'd love to see a Numb3rs one. That'd be a hard fandom to write, I'd think, but it'd be cool.  ;D

I don't know if i'd be able to do a Numb3rs one with just dialogue. I'm afriad to do a normal one because of all the math lol

LOL. Yeah that'd be my problem with Numb3rs, too. I mean I can do the research for stuff like CSI, etc, and bluff my way through it, but when it comes to talking math...just don't think I'd be good at that--at least not making it *interesting*. I haven't read much from that fandom, but there are a few good fics out there. Most of them use the characters but ignore the math. lol.

Thanks. I'll see if I can come up with something.

I've read the challenges posted so far and whilst I don't know the characters, I thought the challenge stories were great.

So, if it can be about any picture I'll have another go and see what I come up with :)

"Your not my keeper!"

"Lex,Clark's not the kind of person you should be around!"

Hmm. I was thinking of doing a Smallville one, but I couldn't find a picture I liked. Yours was short sweet and to the point. (Kind of like a lot of Smallville scenes haha. THey're always showing up unannounced on that show, then say five words and abruptly leave again.) Good job! I found a good picture for the office, but it's harder than I thought it would be, so I haven't written anything yet. Maybe I'll try a Roswell picture. I know that show better.

It is hard to write in all dialogue, isn't It?

Good job so far everyone! Kudos to you all!

Okay, so I need a little help. I'm trying to post something for the challenge and I'm just trying to italicize one word. I do this: <i>me<i> and it italicizes everything. I've seriously tried every other variation. Can anyone show me how to do it? lol

You're forgetting the slash in the second tag.  It should be:

<i>me</i>

The slash closes the italics, so then it will go back to regular text.

Oooh, gotcha. It takes me a minute to get all of this online jazz down. I swear I think I'm the most comp. illiterate 22 year old out there, either that or I just don't care enough. lmao Thank you so much for your help though!

LOL no problem; it took me awhile to master the whole HTML tag thing too.  I had the "Oh no, why is everything in italics??" problem too LOL.
