Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Fanfic Related Kerth Quiz # 10 SCORES & RECS - Best Original / Supporting Character

Yes, I was wicked when I did this quiz! Some stories were listed more than once and I even put one of mine in to throw you for a loop! Cackles.... I also made it so tricky that it was hard to score. So PLEASE tell me if I messed up your score.


And the answers are:

1. Aussie Rules by Female Hawk - Seb
2. Get The Story by IolantheAlias - Lucy
3. Like Father, Like Daughter by Bob Bartholomew - Jonathan
4. The Longest Road: The Long Road Home by Raconteur - Tao Scion
5. Aussie Rules by Female Hawk - Banjo
6. Bats! (either version) by yours truly - Batman / Bruce Wayne
7. The Gifts by Lynn S.M. - our own illustrious Tank Wilson (Did you know this isn’t the first time he’s been used in a story?)
8. Eye in the Sky by Saori Tanaka - Phil (but it could so easily have also been Billy Ray or the radar operators - Where in the world did Saori pick up this vernacular: Clueless like a 'coon 'bout to be road kill. Perchance she might be a Billy Ray Cyrus fan?)
9. Inspector Big Mouth by Anonpip - Inspector Big Mouth - er Henderson
10. The Longest Road: The Long Road Home by Raconteur - Dr. Friskin
11. Inspector Big Mouth by Anonpip - Martha Kent
12. The Time Traveler’s Wife by ML Thompason - Molly

~~~~~~~~~~

You get one point for the character regardless of whether you got it from the quote or the excerpt!

~~~~~~~~~~

Reminder from the quiz:
And the quote from # 3: So, Sam isn’t the character! But for those of you who guessed Sam and Jonathan, you get ½ point. (Darth Michael, Lynn S.M., and IolantheAlias get ½ point.) Alisha gets ¼ point for guessing Ellen even though she didn’t play checkers. for Female Hawk and bobbart for getting Sam!


~~~~~~~~~~


Shiny gold stars go to Lynn S.M. and Female Hawk for recognizing their stories from the quotes. A shiny silver star goes to bobbart for recognizing his story from the excerpt. And a to IolantheAlias for not recognizing your most excellent story at all. (I once did the same thing.) I’ve dubbed Alisha the Queen of “Familiar”. Lynn gets the giggle award for making me giggle twice - once for having to figure out that Tank was the character in her story. BJ gets the under the wire award for posting just as I was ready to post the answers!

Darth Michael said:
Well, let’s just see!


Do you look like a Christmas tree, Corrina?


I only had time to scan this fic and admit to having help with choosing characters so.... I plead insanity.


Alisha Knight said: Not that I’ve ever heard!

Let’s not forget the sub-variations of English. Howdy anyone?

~~~~~~~~~~


Female Hawk gets ½ point for naming the author by the excerpt in question #6 and comes in at the top with 17 ½ points.
Bobbart comes in 2nd with 17 points.
Darth Michael and BJ tie for 3rd with 16 points each. (Since the “radar detectors” is a plausible answer for # 8, Darth Michael gets ½ point. And applause - - to BJ for the only one to correctly answer Phil as the character.)
Lynn S.M. follows closely behind with 15 ½ points.
Emily C. and IolantheAlias tie with 14 points each (Iolanthe gets 1 point for naming the story but not the author in #9 - by quote - and ½ point for getting the author but not the story in #6 - by excerpt.
Alisha Knight gets 13 ¾ points ( ¼ point as explained above and ½ point for naming Jonathan or Martha in question # 11).


Dances: (You’ll have to imagine all the dances. Who knew the board had a limit on images?)

Female Hawk, BJ, and IolantheAlias get 6 dances each!
Emily C. gets 5 dances.
Darth Michael gets 4 full dances and 2 ½ dances for a total of 5 dances.
Bobbart gets 4 dances.
Alisha Knight gets 3 ¾ dances with a round-up to 4.
Lynn gets 3 ½ dances with a round-up to 4.


Overall Totals:

BJ retains the lead with 75 ¼ points
Darth Michael misses 1st place by mere minutes but stays in 2nd with 74 ½ points.
IolantheAlias comes in 3rd with 72 points.
Lynn S.M. moves up to 4th with 70 ½ points

Emily C. has 42 points
Bobbart is close behind with 41 points
And Mozartmaid comes in with 40 points

Oooh! I get another half point! Actually, I had been awarded half a point at some time in the past, but it seems to have gone by the wayside. And I get a shiny gold star and three *and a half* dances! What did I do to earn that half a dance? And is it the first half of the dance or the last half?

Joy,
Lynn

From the quiz:

So, Lynn, you got 1/2 a dance for guessing Sam and Jonathan. Take your pick which half. I looked back on the quizzes and you actually had 1/2 points two different times so you are at a whole # now.

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for the explanation. So....If the half point were for Sam, I'd get the first half of a dance, but if it were for Jonathan, I'd get the second half? And I should be up to 71 points? After my abysmal performance on the current (relationships) quiz, I need every half point I can get!

Joy,
Lynn

Nope, you only get 1/2 point. You can choose which half of the dance you want.

I'm confused. I thought that by the following, you meant that I was now up to a whole point:

So does that mean I got a total of *three* half points along the way? If so, I missed one of the half points somewhere.

Joy,
Lynn

Yes, with this quiz, you have had a total of three 1/2 points. Sorry for the confusion. I meant that the previous two 1/2 points were before quiz 10. But you could still move up to the top. Just get to "googling" and see what happens.

/shuffles feet and looks down/

I missed the quote from my own story!

How embarrassing!

I know that googling is allowed, but it still feels like cheating to me. I'd rather have an honest (if somewhat embarrassing -- I can't believe I missed 'Flying Lessons' on the latest quiz!) sixth place -- or whatever place I finally end up in -- than googling to raise my score. (Yes, I am like our favourite 'big blue boy scout' in some ways...)

Thanks,
Lynn

Hmm... I thought about this one and things do change, but I looked back at quizzes when they were done through email, and it was quite common to use google. It's still a fun way to find stories.

<facepalm> Ugh, me too!

But I'm still dizzy from figuring the points out.
Michael, who's now going to tally up the grand totals for #11
