First things first: thanks to everyone who participated! I hope you had fun with these quizzes, and I hope they help everyone with the nomination process!
Secondly, thank you to Classicalla for helping to organize the quizzes, and to Darth Michael and mozartmaid for writing quizzes!
Finally, any author omissions or mistakes in the quizzes are all my fault. I apologize, and please do not believe it was personal. Any mistakes can be attributed to the fact that I haven't done this before. Along those same lines, please remember that these quizzes are not all-encompassing, and there are many great stories for each category that did not end up in the quiz.
All of that being said, here is the final reckoning!
Shiny gold star stickers for recognizing their own stories in this quiz are awarded to BJ, IolantheAlias, mozartmaid, Darth Michael, and bobbart...and Lynn S.M., who gets a gold star because she recognized her story (even though she couldn't name it until the excerpt) and it's the last quiz and I'm feeling generous.
Here are the answers:
1 – Wasted Revelations, BJ
2 – Get the Story!, IolantheAlias
3 – Nowhere to Run, ML Thompson
4 – Night Witness, mozartmaid
5 – Dr. Friskin's Letter, Lynn S.M.
6 – Perceptions, Anonpip
7 – Superman's Laundry, bakasi
8 – Like Father, Like Daughter, Bob Bartholomew
9 – The Wild-Goose Chase, Michael
With a rare perfect score, Classicalla wins this quiz, scoring 18!
Her evil plan to rule the quiz thwarted, Alisha takes second with 17!
Artemis scores a vacation-third place with 15!
Darth Michael scores the fabulous palindrome 11!
bobbart brings in a 9!
Coming in at a solid 7 is Lynn S.M.!
BJ is once again all tied up, this time with mozartmaid and EmilyC with a score of 5!
And rounding out the scoreboard is IolantheAlias, scoring a 4!
Here are the recommendations:
Full Partners by Lynn S. M.
Just an Ordinary Day by Lynn S. M.
When the Sky Falls by Bob Bartholomew
Wine and Circumstance by Mozartmaid
