Whoa! Done already?! That was some super short quiz! wink


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. wink

From the quotes:

1 No idea. Sounds more like a vampire story than an L&C one.
2 ?
3 *Sigh*. I had thought I'd do well with this quiz...
4 I like the quote. I wish I knew what it is from.
5 Ooh! Ooh! I get one right! It's "Looking In" by Lynn S. M. Another gold star! :-) (Now won't I be embarrassed if I got the wrong story! It could also be from the companion piece From the Outside.)
6 Then who's arm candy does she want to be? ;-) Don't know the story, though.
7 I'm going for a near-perfect no-hitter. (Recognizing my own story doesn't count.)
8 Oh, this one I recognize! It's Rocks, Rings, and Hammers, by ML Thompson.
9 ?
10 Another one of mine! It's Charades. :-)

From the excerpts. (Unless listed below, I am sticking with my guesses from the quotes.)
1 I still don't recognize it, but I'll guess Cold and Blood by EvelynC.
2 At least this sounds familiar. Not that that helps. Perhaps ML Thompson's Lunkhead, No More?
3 Mxyunderstanding, by amberlea
4 Owl's Over Metropolis 2: Frog Day Afternoon, by Marcus Rowland
5 All right. I'm officially embarrassed. My gold star has been demoted to a silver star. This is "From the Outside," after all. Still by me, though.
6 Perceptions, by anonpip
9 I think this may be Why? by Bob Bartholomew. I vividly remember the quote, just not sure where it's from.

Well, I had to rely on the excerpts a lot, but I was able to semi-redeem myself, at least.

Thanks for a fun and challenging quiz, MM! :-)

Joy,
Lynn

p.s., I feel somewhat vindicated over my story mis-identification for #5. I just looked over my stories again. (After having posted my guesses.) The quote as given was actually in both stories ("From the Outside" and "Looking In"). The excerpt, however, could only be from "From the Outside," since it is in Clark's POV. *Whew* blush :p (We need a graemlin of someone wiping the sweat from their brow in relief.)

From the quotes
1. Must be EvelynC's "Cold and Blood"
7. Dandello's "Bakery Redux"
8. MLT's "Rocks, Rings & Hammers"
10. "Charades" by Lynn SM

From the Excerpts:
2. Souns familiar, but...?
3. "Myxunderstanding" by Amber
4. LOL! Marcus' "Owls Over Metropolis 2: Frog Day Afternoon"
5. "Looking In" by Lynn SM
6. Anonpip's "Perceptions"
9. Aww. It sounds really cute. I can't wait to read it.

Quote #1
So cold with fear. The taste of her blood remains, mingling with my guilt and pain.
Cold and Blood by Evelyn C

Quote #2
And I take the muffin and forgive you, because, let's face it, you bring good muffins.
Don't Leave Me by Sarah A

Quote #3
“Vapid new teen angst movie.” Ohhhh, I know this. But no name comes to mind.

Quote #4
"Okay, I owe Martha ten dollars. You really are that gullible..." Nope.

Quote #5
"Believe it or not, Jeff, I understand you." Yeah, the one about the little boy who had no friends.

Quote #6
"I do not want to be Clark's arm candy." But Lois, others would stand in line to be just that.

Quote #7
"I will figure it out," Lois stated. "You know I will." Almost, but not quite.

Quote #8
"Haaaarrrdd!" the woman screamed again. Hmmm, I wonder who that could be? Oh, “Rocks, Rings and Hammers” by ML Thompson

Quote #9
Why didn't I propose as Superman on
the flight back from EPRAD that first day?
Why? by bobbart

Quote #10
"I know! Mark Spitz!" Charades by Lynn S.M.

Excerpt #3 Mxyunderstanding by Amberlea

Excerpt #4
Lois grabbed a wriggling frog, dunked it in chili sauce, and bit its head off.
Clark stared, and said, "Lois, are you--?"
Lois took another bite and said, "An evil clone? Nope." Aha! A clue. What else but Owls over Metropolis 2: Frog Day Afternoon by Marcus Rowland

Excerpt #5
From the Outside by Lynn S.M.

Excerpt #6.
I still say arm candy is good. Perception by Anonpip

Excerpt #7
'But Clark hates to fly,' Lois mused as she approached the table.

"A flat spin is a lot like a skid," the man was saying.

"So you need to steer into the spin while you slow it down,"
Clark said. "Otherwise the plane may come apart on you."

Aha, dead giveaway. I looove the concept of the Bakery. More please, Dandello. The Bakery Redux by Dandello


And that's just the way I like it, Chief. That's just the way I
like it.

Quote #1: I don't know, but are there any Cold & Blood stories up this year? Only one according to my list, so Cold and Blood by EvelynC?
Quote #2: I have no idea, but I like the principle of forgiving people simply because they bring you good muffins.
Quote #3: ?
Quote #4: I think I read that the other day... but I can't think what it is.
Quote #5: Jeff? No, I can't recall a Jeff...
Quote #6: Oh, I've read this one recently as well.
Quote #7: Familiar.
Quote #8: Rocks, Rings and Hammers by ML Thompson?
Quote #9: ?

Excerpt #1: I have no better guess than my previous one.
Excerpt #2: ?
Excerpt #3: ? But from 'that Mxy guy', I'll guess Myxunderstanding by amberlea. Just picking an eligible fic from almost random.
Excerpt #4: Frog? Frog, frog, frog. Rings a bell. Well, following on from my previous use of detective skills, Frog Day Afternoon by Marcus Rowland?
Excerpt #5: No, Jeff is still throwing me.
Excerpt #6: Ah, come on! All I can deduce from that is I'm looking for an episode adaptation of some description.
Excerpt #7: ?
Excerpt #8: Yeah, I'll stick with my first answer.
Excerpt #9: True enough statement, but I couldn't tell you the fic.
Excerpt #10: And I finish on a big fat 'no idea'!

So, have I done badly enough to take back my position of last place?

Spoiler space for today’s active topics. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer pellentesque metus nec arcu imperdiet sit amet laoreet augue egestas. Etiam vestibulum semper blandit.

Quotes:
1. Okay, one of the ‘Cold and Blood’ challenges… Oh, look! It’s ‘Cold and Blood’ by Evelyn C. (I hope blush )

2. Muffin. I read the muffin-one. But which one was it? confused

3. hyper Now that was hard won!

9. And back to hyper Clark figured out that the TV spots keep repeating in order night after night. But no title…

4. Marcus Rowland’s Harry Potter sort of cross-over? Owls Over Metropolis 2: Frog Day Afternoon

5. Oh, the one about the kid who's troubled. From The Outside by Lynn.

6. Yep, Nancy’s story. Got to be Perceptions.

7. The Bakery, Redux by Dandello!

9. We had that quote before. And I only remembered the plot-line, then, too *sigh* Let’s try Bob’s Why? Simply because it was waffy.

10. Yep, I know that excerpt. *sigh*

Oh well… Am guessing that’s it for my #3, too, huh? Still fun, though!
