Quote 1:
"Clark Kent is a man of hidden capabilities and depth. Eventually Lois will marry Clark and their offspring will play a central role in shaping a utopian future."

Um... Not a clue.

Quote 2:
Lois' nostrils flared in indignation. "Clark, you are so far from fine, it's not even funny! Your own mother just tried to kill you! Your mother, Clark!"

I'm gonna go with an NK rewrite where Tez was being Martha...

Quote 3:
Superman sighed inwardly. "I'd like to help you somehow... Do you want some help with your turkey?"

I'm seeing a SG rewrite where Superman stays to eat. I want to say Queenie might be involved somehow...

Quote 4:
"Clark, if they were any good at practicing whatever it is they do, they wouldn't be working in radio."

LOL! But I don't know.

Quote 5:
Perry sighs. "Jimmy? Jimmy couldn't even save baseball cards."

Isn't this actually a line from the show? That helps dear Jenn . FH rewrite?

Quote 6:
"No, no, that's okay, Super-Grover. It's nice to have a fellow crime fighter."

This so sounds like something I'd write but I don't think I did. Don't know that I've ever seen a Super-Grover crossover!

Quote 7:
Jim didn't look up. "I can tell you this," he said. "There's nothing trivial about a game of Trivial Pursuit with Lois Lane."

So true!

Quote 8:
"Ah, I was just *telling* my sister how much I *love* this," Lois looked in disgust at the fluffy pink dress she was wearing before adding the final word with as much sarcasm as she could muster, "dress."

LOL! Does she look like something you drink when you're nauseous? Or does she need sheep?

Quote 9:
"But I'm not driving a taxi!" Clark almost shouted.

Hmm... Clark as a cabbie... Has interesting alt-u possibilities...

Quote 10:
What did he expect? He was a farm boy and I was the consummate city girl.

/sigh/

Quote 11:
"You know," he added, slowing down to look her in the face. "At midnight, it's traditional for people to kiss."

Erm... Could this be my Certain Kansan? Not sure but could be...

Quote 12:
It had been the longest fifteen minutes of Lois' life, but she had managed to stay ahead of those chasing her for the entire time.

Go Lois!

Quote 13:
"I've always been proud of you," he whispered softly, startling her. She hadn't realized that she had spoken out loud.

Hmm... dunno...

Quote 14:
"Believe me, Lois, you don't. Neither Superman nor Luthor; you don't really know either one," he answered with a heavy sigh.

Awww!

See it can be fun to fail spectacularly!!! =D

Yay! Quizzes on the boards And this time I actually managed to recognize most of them But I admit, rereading for the Kerths helps So, just a little more lorem ipsum stuff to get rid of the Active Topics preview. Hope this is enough...

Excerpt 3 Three Christmases by Lieta
Excerpt 5 The Buddy System by Sue
Excerpt 6 Still no idea…
Excerpt 7
Excerpt 9 Maybe a 'Man of Steel Bars' adaption? But wait! That's got to be 'Murphy's Law' by Cookiesmom
Excerpt 10 Hah! That's 'Don't Fall' by Anonpip.
Excerpt 12 I've read this one… Ages ago. /digs out list of eligible stories not yet reread for Kerths/ This could be 'A Hero's Heart' by Tank
Excerpt 13 Still a blank Sorry
Excerpt 14 Okay, that's got to be Ordinary Man. But you *are* in trouble if you recognize your fic mainly because of the way Lois screams at Clark

Michael

Okay - let's stick in some fool fic boards nonsense. And then a bit more. And a bit more after that.

just in case...

At least you recognized it! I managed to miss mine completely last time! At least from the quote I said 'hey, I think this might be mine' but the only fic I could think of that it might be from wasn't eligible for the category :p . At least I don't think Shaken Not Stirred counts as Waffy .

Well, it's a bit long for a waffy fic, but I don't remember angsty feelings from it, just teenage L&C in the same orbit. So, I'll go with waffy memories about it

Michael

Edit: /dusts off slightly damaged Answer-thread and hands it back to Kerth Quiz Team/

Too much 'I have amnesia and don't remember we got married' to be waffy .

But not overly angsty either so... =D.

Riiiight! Now it's coming back to me Sort of. there was a lake. Angry parents. Lois didn't want to tell Clark they were married... Not sure how it ended but I'll bet Lois got pregnant somewhere along the line

Michael

Hey!

Yeah - you're right. Parson Lake iirc. And a big rock in outer space. And a trip to Metropolis before Clark took a trip to see said rock in outer space...

Not so much for the waffy cat... =D. Though I'm glad it did have a nice waffy feel overall . End was waffy. Still contemplating a sequel one day - if a plot that strikes the muses fancy shows up...

I think putting the quizzes on the boards is a great idea.

1. Lex’s Best Day by Bob Bartholomew : Excerpt
Yes, Excerpt. When I read the quote it sounded familiar but I couldn’t place it. When I read the Excerpt I slapped my forehead. I’ve never had to go to the Excerpt to get my own story.

2. The Final Countdown by Bellarata : Quote
I’m not sure that it helped that I’m in the middle of writing a Nightfall story, but I don’t think it hurt.

3. Three Christmases by Lieta : Quote
I miss Lieta. I’m still put out that she didn’t finish “Both Sides of the Coin”

14. The Ordinary Man by Michael : Quote


Oh, well. Maybe better next time.
Recommendations…? How about:

Lex's Best Day, by Bobbart?

The Final Countdown by Bellarata?

Three Christmases by Lieta?

Forgot the title, but it's by Dandello, about Frasier Crane?

Forgot which one, but it's a re-write of "Fly Hard"?

Something about "Learning Your ABC's", where Superman appears on "Sesame Street".

No idea.

I know I read it - Lucy is getting married - but I can't remember it! Somehow LaraMoon sticks in my mind, though. Maybe "Right Off The Bat"?

Is this by Carol M? Can't remember the fic, though.

Don't Fall by anonpip?

A Date-Less New Year's Eve by Pam Jernigan?

I remember reading this fic, too! Lois is being chased by the bad guys, and Superman is off in China dealing with a flood or something, and Lois is leading the bad guys to Henderson, or something like that. But I totally can't remember fic or author!

No clue.

No clue here either.

Wow, stories have a weight? Granted, I know if you print them out, there's a weight, but I don't think they'd weigh between 11-50 kilograms... *whistles*
