shakatany | Brilliant (?) Idea

I was over at

bloodclaim and in a reply tempestsreach wrote that Lazuli Kaat was compiling "The Spander Files" at http://spanderfiles.tripod.com/contents.html with Spander fics sorted by category. I can't recall the number of times I have read a request for a specific type of fic ie. vamp!xander, human AU, h/c. Wouldn't it be a great idea if authors submitted the titles and URLs of their fics and readers could submit their favorite Spander so they could all be under one searchable roof so to speak?

On another note a couple of nights ago I watched "Smallville" waiting for James Marsters to appear again (if you blinked during the finale of the season premiere you missed his first appearance). This is the first season of the show I'm watching (and once Brainiac is defeated I doubt I'll continue watching--it's not my cuppa) and I was surprised by the AUness of it all compared to the comic books I read back in the day. As I recall teenage Clark Kent was Superboy openly complete with costume, Jor-El was a nice guy and Brainiac was green. I wonder if the production staff are going through the old comics and gleaning what they can use. I wonder if Lena Thorul would ever show up. The stuff that sticks in one's memory *sigh*
