Virginia, if it's any consolation -- I forgot about the longer excerpts, too. Only what is really pathetic is that I didn't recognize any of the stories from the quotes...not even my own! And what is even worse is that while some of the quotes did sound vaguely familiar, mine wasn't among them. Can you tell that I am off to a rough start this semester? I also blame it on my son having entered the teen years and starting now (of all times) to act his age. "Frazzled R Us" (If I could reverse the "R," I would.)

Oh, well. The quiz made for fun reading. Thanks for developing it, Susan.

Joy,
Lynn

Ok--here goes nothing . Wow--I suddenly feel like I have a lot of rereading to do. Amazing how much I didn't recognize from this past year...

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. That’s probably Clark. Unfortunately, we are looking for a different writer… even if I think I read this…
2. Huh…I remember that one. That’s The Doctor. So, who did the Dr. Who X-over this year...Ah! Not a Day at the Beach by MrsMxyzptlk
3. Someone talking to Lois. Wait! *Martha* talking to a married Lois who smoked the Farmhouse while Clark was in the barn with Martha. How about Burning Down The House by Virginia?
4. I think I read it.
5. Sounds familiar… from the list of titles, I’m going to try Why The Daily Planet's Circulation Is Down by Lynn S M
6. Oooh! Oooh! I’m going to get a golden star, at least Her Wedding Day, by this one here
7. Another Lois in Smallville?
8. Adversaries cemented. Ha! That’s Xerxes the Great. (I hope) by Susan.
9. Umm…
10.

Excerpts:
1. Erm…again, titles rule. I hope. So, I’m going with The Trump Card by Nell Lime
4. Yeah, I read it. And since about tech… Technology Is Killing Us by Ultra Lucille
7. That’s about their son. Or daughter. A Little Less Secret by Lady Loisette would fit that. Only the Archive summary doesn't really, so...
9. Oooooooooooh! Vic’s Night and Morning. Yes, the quote should have been obvious. In the Still of Night by KatherineKent.
10. That could mayhaps be The Bet by Lois Lane Fan



Thanks for the quiz, Susan! The quotes and excerpts contained some awesome title hints This went better than I expected on the first cursory glance. Now, let’s hope I didn’t get too many wrong guesses there

Michael

Thanks! It took me a while to create all of the quizzes, and I tried to find quotes or excerpts that really hinted at either the title or plot in a significant way so it wouldn't be too hard. I also managed to include a story from every author that wrote any eligible story somewhere in at least one of the nine quizzes. I feel weird that my story ended up in the first quiz, but it was the only place it would fit, and I count too, right?

Thanks for playing along, everyone! Here are the answers:

1. “The Trump Card” – By Nell Lime
2. “Not a Day at the Beach” – By MrsMxyzptkl
3. “Burning Down the House” – By VirginiaR
4. “Technology Is Killing Us” – By Ultra Lucille
5. “Why the Daily Planet’s Circulation is Down” – By Lynn S. M.
6. “Her Wedding Day” – By Michael
7. “A Little Less Secret” – By Lady Loisette
8. “Xerxes the Great” – By Susan Young
9. “In the Still of the Night” – By KatherineKent
10. “The Bet” – By Lois_Lane_Fan

Here are the recommendations that people made:

In the Light of the Morning by Katherine Kent
No Place Like Home by Lynn S.M.
A Recipe for Trouble by Ultra Lucille
Unusual Talents by Mouserocks
Framed – Mouserocks
A Hair-Razing Experience – Lynn S M
World of Cuisine – Mouserocks

Here are the scores that everyone got:

VirginiaR: 14 points and a gold star
Lady Loisette: 20 points and a gold star
Artemis: 20 points
KenJ: 18 points
Lynn S.M.: my vast appreciation for playing!
LMA: 9.5 points
Morgana: 10 points
Darth Michael: 15 points and a gold star

Quiz #2 (Short Story) will be posted at midnight...come back and play again tomorrow! Remember, I'm offering a prize this year for the highest point score over all 9 quizzes...a story by me (PG or smuttified for your reading pleasure). That's worth playing for, right?

Most definitely a good prize. The longer ones are going to be tougher.

Artemis

Hey, wait! Where's my gold star? I got my story right!

Thank you.
