One month to go before the end of the year! On the assumption that I'll be invited to create the Kerth quizzes again, I decided to keep track of the eligible stories (based on last year's categories). You can see the Google Sheets spreadsheet I created HERE . If you see any errors, please comment and let me know. Some categories have more eligible stories than others. Maybe that will inspire some of you to finish up the WIPs before December 31.
You can find my stories as Groobie on the nfic archives and Susan Young on the gfic archives. In other words, you know me as Groobie.

Thank you for doing this! My stories seem accurate enough, groobie. I know, I know. I'll submit Conspiracy Theory to the Archives ASAP; I've got to double-check my math again. Karaoke at the Red K Corral never found it's ending. I hate leaving a story incomplete but, alas, my muse dropped it like a hot potato. If I find the time, I'll give it one more look before 2016.

As someone who is abolutely enthralled with order/organization/details, I LOVED this ! Great job--and so exciting to see how many stories have been posted this year... Laura

How many hours did it take you to assemble that spreadsheet? Thank you for volunteering so much of your time for this!
My stories look good with a few minor exceptions: - "The Runaway's Tale" should be listed as a super-short - "Thoughts on Facebook" and "Once Upon a Time" should also be listed as comedies
Thanks for the reminder that three of my stories still need to be archived.
Joy, Lynn

Thanks, Lynn - I made those changes. I've been adding to the spreadsheet all year long, so it hasn't really taken much time. But last year, when I was trying to gather the evidence after the fact, yeah, that took a long time! LOL I tried to be more strategic this year! Virginia - surely you can find a way to finish that story!

Hey wow, awesome job on the spreadsheet! I picked up on things on two of my stories. "The Truth About Clark Kent" should be listed as a revelation story with Lois finding out. And "A Week in Paris" should be listed in Mid-length, first kiss, supporting/original character (Joe Patterson) and possibly revelation... does it count if Lois has figured it out and then tells Clark she knows? It's kinda... backwards. Thanks Groobie!

Those stories are both on the list. For any stories that aren't on the archives that authors are going to request eligibility for, I need the size of the story as a text file so that I can update the file and put the story into the right category by size. Thanks. For example: I request eligibility for Quick vs. Quickly - 12kb The Ghost of Christmas Future - 36kb

Rich Text or regular text file? Or is that the same?

I think it's based on the size of a regular text file.
