Answers go here! 
Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way.

Here are my guesses.
From the quotes:
1 ?
2 ?
3 ?
4 The Time Traveler's Wife by ML Thompson?
5 ?
6 Aussie Rules by Female Hawk, who also rules!
7 Oh goodie! I'm going to get a gold star -- I recognize this story! This is from The Gifts, by yours truly :-)
8 Who could forget Picnic Confessions by Mary Potts (AKA Queen of the Capes)?
9 ?
10 ?
From the excerpts: (Unless otherwise noted, I am sticking to my answers from the quotes.)
1 Flying Lessons, by Sue S.
2 Of course! This is The Time Traveler's Wife, by ML Thompson
3 The Man Under the Suit, by Happy Girl. Definitely.
4 I remember this...Bill Henderson says this excerpt. Let me see... Of course. Inspector Bigmouth by Anonpip
5 Sounds vaguely familiar, but I'm not placing it.
9 When the Sky Falls, by Bob Bartholomew, perhaps?
10 ?
BTW, I think you may wish to change the Spiffy Disclaimer Thing to say that all of the stories here qualify for Best Revelation (not Comedy.)
Thanks, MozartMaid, for coming up with this quiz and for posting it a little early. It was fun!
Joy,
Lynn

Lynn, I'm not technically savvy enough to get the link posted to the answers before posting the questions... so the answers link got posted first.

Okay, I've got about 10 minutes to try my hand at the quiz... Yeah, I'm not too optimistic, either.  B E S T R E V E L A T I O N 1. Bwah ha ha! I know I've read it before (and I'm sure this quote made me laugh the first time) but couldn't get it until I read the excerpt - Sue S.'s "Flying Lessons". 2. Ah, Guardian Angels and Molly -- must be MLT's "Time Traveler's Wife" 3. Er... not ringin' any bells. Is it HG's "Man Under the Suit"? 4. "Inspector Bigmouth" by Anonpip? 5. Sounds hilarious, but I don't remember. I hope someone else answered it so I can go read it. Ah, I stumbled across it. Lieta's "One Way Down". 6. "Aussie Rules" by Female Hawk 7. Ack! I read this one. I know I did. What is it... Is it SciFi Joan's "Suddenly I See"? 8. I hear Queen of the Cape's evil cackle... It's "Picnic Confessions" 9. Sounds interesting, but...? 10. Tank's "A Revelation by Any Other Name"? Oh, well. If I had more time, I might be able to at least try guessing the others. Great quiz. B

/pulls off glasses of startled Clark/ . . . Wow, look, that’s Clark’s really *Lois*! Okay, maybe, that’s getting too excited for recognizing ML’s Timetraveler’s Wife. 3. Yep, that should put a damper on the excitement once more  4. Another familiar quote Just kiddin’ (Female Hawk, just for completeness sake) 7. Could this be The Final Piece of the Puzzle by Lynn? 8. Queenie’s Picnic Confessions! Poor Oedipus. 9.  10. Tank’s Revelation by Any Other Name Excerpts: 1. Oh. Could this be Sue’s Flying Lessons? 3. *sigh* 4. Okay, that’s Henderson. And I’ve definitely read this. But… *sigh* 9. Still… Well, that was certainly revealing Michael
