What exactly happens in an indie-lit smackdown? Is it like wrestling but with more obvious irony? Or do you mean "smackdown" in the least literal sense? Perhaps it'd be like the Algonquin Round Table, except that each witticism must be punctuated with "Oh, snap!"
Either choice sounds equally obnoxious. I think I'll just surrender now and save us all the trouble.
