I should be finishing my drawing right now.... sigh. This should be much more fun! I'm burned out of drawing. * * * * * S P O I L E R * * * S P A C E * * * * * Quotes: 1. ? 2. ?? The man? The unspecified man? 3. 5. 6. From quotes, for serious :p 7. God, I so know this... But I do know it, and have read it. Do I get any credit for that?? Methinks not... Okay, if it's not obvious by my confusion on these questions, it's bedtime. I'll have to get back to hw tomorrow before class starts in an hour. 2am is obviously too late for me. Good quiz though!

C L A R K L O V E S L O I S A N D V I C E V E R S A This quiz confirms in my mind how little fanfic I've had a chance to read this past year. I recognized #3 ("Fractured Proverbs for Fanfic Authors") from the quote, but that's only because I wrote it. #5 sounds like a story I really liked (but whose name and author I can't remember), but it can't be the story I was thinking about, since I first read it before 2012. (Yeah, I know. That description doesn't even get me close to a fraction of a point.) The excerpt from #6 sounds like Ken's "Hurricane." It also sounds like something my son would do. Thanks for a fun quiz, and I hope your migraine is completely gone. Joy, Lynn p.s., edit: The story whose title I couldn't remember was indeed "A Little Advice"; but I had thought that that had been posted earlier than it had. In any event, it's a fantastic story and worthy not only of a read-through, but of a re-read, as well. I highly recommend it, despite my Swiss-cheesed brain not having been able to recall the title earlier. For anyone keeping score, I should not get credit for recalling this one, since I hadn't remembered it on my own; Ultra Woman's post jogged my memory.

From the excerpt, I think I read #3. 'The title was something like "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus". (?)
Otherwise, I have no idea.
