agt_spookyIn honor of the end of Smallville tonight, I wanted to share with you guys something I've never put on the internet before.
I've watched every episode of Smallville, and I was a rabid Clex 'shipper. Still am, actually. :-) Back in 2003 a promo photo came out and my friend looked at it and said, "That looks like an engagement picture!" Thus the seed was planted. What resulted was a massive project that took me months to create - a 50 page scrapbook that was basically a Clark/Lex fanfic story. It was set a few years in the future, a year before Clark was going to graduate from Metropolis University, and how he and Lex got engaged, then married, Clark starting as a reporter at the Daily Planet, and his struggle with how to tell Lex about his powers and abilities.
I wrote or created everything in this scrapbook - all of the journal entries, the newspaper articles, the gift registry page, the wedding vows, the wedding guest pages, the invitations, and tons and tons of photos - ALL of it. Like I said, it took me months, but to this day I am still so damn proud of it.
I wound up making two of these and entering them in two different art shows/auctions at ZebraCon and MediaWest. I won awards at both shows and made over $800 from the auctions.
Before letting them go, I took digital photos of every page, and for the first time I'm offering a download of the entire scrapbook.
I hope you all enjoy it!

Date: 2014-04-03 06:23 am (UTC)Unrelated to the above, I did a little LJ browsing, and was interested to read about the Chicago based possible SPN spinoff. I grew up there (well, in Highland Park, but I spent a lot of time in the city, proper).
Also unrelated, it was all I could do not to scritch the picture of your cat's furry white belly. It made me miss my black and white cat.

Enjoy! And thanks for letting me know you saw it on Fanlore. I had no idea it was up there so I had to go check out the blurb. :-)
Yep, the “backdoor” pilot for the SPN spinoff just finished filming here about a week ago. I have a feeling that if it goes to series it’ll all be shot in Vancouver, but at least they went for authenticity for the first episode.
My husband is from Highland Park! Small world!
Awww, I’ll tell Bean that you wanted to rub her belly. Like she’s not spoiled enough. *g*
