Sports Night & Smallville??

[fathomlessspite]

What is it about Sports Night and Smallville as fandoms which draw the same people in?  I've been searching for Sports Night fic (as I'm currently working my way through the DVDs on my bran new multi-regional dvd player *hugs it*) most is on authors personal websites, so when i go to look to see what else they've written there is inevitably Smallville fic...

But why??

I would have thought it more likely to be Due South, where the two main characters are male and best friends and the entire show is basically about them.  But I suppose thats kind of how Smallville started (if you ignore Lana etc.)??

*is puzzled*


Also, what i clearly need now is a Sports Night icon....
