What a fun game. I wish I had read more fanfic this past year. I can identify only two of the stories from the descriptions -- and one of them is for the story I wrote. But I don't want to ruin other people's fun by giving away my own story, so I'll just identify Terry Leatherwood's "The Fellowship of the Fanfic" as "One fic to rule them all."
I almost wish these descriptions were added to the archive along with the official ones. They certainly are amusing to read. Thanks for coming up with them.
Joy,
Lynn

You got that one right, Lynn! I couldn't help myself in suggesting the game. I've had entirely too much fun doing the on Facebook with books and movies (those meme game things that circulate once in a while).

Okay.. here it goes. I won't answer my own, but I busted out laughing at the descriptions. So here a few I believe I know.
Embracing The Darkness - Clark gets a weird new job before getting into the journalism field.
My Own Worst Enemy - Clark goes crazy and starts seeing double.
Epiphany - Bruce Wayne buys the Planet and Clark finally asks Lois out.
Virtually Destroyed - Jimmy and Clark have a talk in the park.

Hi everyone!
Okay I've updated the list to show the ones that have been guessed.
Yes, Carrie, that's correct, but not on Embracing Darkness.

Definitely a fun game! I laughed, too at the descriptions. And still smiling that of my two stories, I'm only sure of one!  With that disclaimer, here are my guesses: It Can't Be Unseen - Clark is in dire need of eye-bleach. Sleeping With the Boss - Lois is the boss Waiting for a Lady - A mystery of age occurs in more than just Kryptonians. A Plot Thwarted - Superman finds a hologram of himself
Just Save Someone - He couldn’t save Gallifrey but maybe he can save a child?

Hi Carrie! Good guess on Embracing, but that's not the description we made for it, although it *does* work rather well for it.

Embracing the Darkness - Young man lives with older man and starts dressing in the wrong clothing and answering to the wrong name.

I'll try some of these.
Passing Time/Crossing Time by Dandello - Meet the Clarkes
Dying to Fit In by Deadly Chakram - Clark and Lois have a salon day.
Agoraphobia by MouseRocks - Clark leaves his house.
Pocket Full of Kryptonite by Mouserocks - Jimmy misses the one that got away
The Least Useful Superpower by MrsMxyzptlk - No dummy needed!
Strange Visit by Queen of the Capes - Lois takes advantage of a confused Clark
Last Name (Extended) by Thomas MC - Marriage, a drunk night, red kryptonite and a hangover.
"Who's asking? Clark... or Superman?"

I think I may have a few more:
Mission of Friendship -- Clark Works at a Homeless Shelter
The Very Bad, No Good Day -- Muses can be mean
Why did the Superman Cross the Road -- Superman meets ... another Superman
At Least It's Only For Five Nights... -- Clark gets a weird new job before getting in the journalism field.
How'd I do?
Joy,
Lynn

If all chores could be that fun. Good work Queenie.
