{waves hi to everybody}
Smallville might be on it's 10th and final season on tv, but to many of us, the first few seasons were really the best. Clark was young and learning, Lex wanted to be good and reject his father's learnings, and the Clex made us sit up and take notice. ^^
When the awesome and wonderful Hils first started this comm six years ago, it was an interactive comm based around the early seasons of Smallville, and the Clexiness there within. There were episode discussions, fiction contests, comment fics, and more, in addition to being open to the community to post announcements about any Old School fic, icons, or such.
We're going to hopefully return to some of that early interactiveness, if you all want to. :) I do know that not everybody likes meta, or writes fic, or makes art, but we do all like the Clex, so I want to try and find things that we can all do together, and have fun with it. To that end, a poll! What would you like to do?

Date: 2011-02-21 06:56 am (UTC)Sorry if I've been a pain, but I really didn't want to see this comm go the way another I used to love went. They started with voting on the icons, and then voting just seemed to take over the whole community and the fun and original love for the fandom kind of got sucked out. I just don't want that to happen to this comm.
Too often, when a fandom becomes old or moves away from the pairing in question, the fans for that pairing start to fall off, and too often, with all fandoms/pairings, the majority of the fans seem a bit, er, noob even if they're not, to try to put it in a nice way. The Clex fans here on LJ definitely have not had that happen to us yet. Somehow, we've managed to maintain semi-activity, good writers, and intelligent conversations, and I'm definitely enjoying getting to be a part of all of this. Looking forward to more good Clex things to come! :-)
I'd partake in the fic rec, but I can't seem to think of any Clex stories involving food other than one I wrote myself and am loathe to rec myself. Regardless, it's great to have some more Clex activity, and I look forward to finding some new, good stories to enjoy!
