Quotes:
1. Hmm… First Person. At first I thought Lois. Also, considering the list of stories, Anti-K is one to do 1st POV a lot. And from the blurb, and the fact that Jack’s mentioned but not Jimmy, yeah, this is Anti-Kryptonite’s Observational Skills.
2. That’s…uhhh…that’s…uhhhhh do I get points for going through those in order?
3. Another 1st POV. Huh…
4. I so remember reading that quote. Lois is annoyed at Clark disappearing. Again. Okay, put like that, it applies to 90% of the stories in the archive. Maybe Female Hawk’s Asking Lois Out?
5. Okay, that’s from one of Ken’s. And by principle of exclusion, I’ll put down Lois Lane - Mother Of Utopia: The Matchmaker Chronicles Volume 1. Mainly, because Hattie doesn’t fit here.
6. Okay, that one must be an early 20th century piece.
7. Michael

From the quote:

#10 For some reason this reminds me of Lynn S. M. Sic Transit Ralph's Pagoda but I don't think that was a midlength story

#11 This is Virginia R. I betaed a version of this. Jolly Ole St. Clark?

Otherwise, I have no idea.

Excerpts:
1. No idea
2. Gosh, I should know this - this line resonates with me.
3. "Snowbound" by Deadly Chakram?
4. ?
5. It's a fic by KenJ but I'm not sure which one - he's been very prolific this year.
6. ?
7. ?
8. by Morgana, about Uncle Mike's restaurant?
9. ?
10. ?
11. This is by VirginiaR - you can tell her trademark humor. I forgot which story, though.

********************

Long clips:

1. Alas, I still don't know.
2. Oh, it's the fic by Bobbart where Lois remains affected by the pheromone even after it wears off for everyone else.
3. Again, is it "Snowbound" by Deadly Chakram?
4. ?
5. KenJ's story. One of them.
6. ?
7. ?
8. The "Uncle Mike's restaurant" story where L&C are doing the story about Grace Chen's knitting shop across the street. And I'm blanking on the name of the story.
9. ?
10. ?
11. I forget the story but somehow Lois got Jimmy to dress up as an elf. It was hilarious.

Here's the really embarrassing thing: I've read, beta'd, or edited many of these and I'm still forgetting! Guess I'd better break out the gingko biloba supplements.

I'm terrible with titles and authors. Most of time I know I read the stories but I can't say the title or who wrote it. Shame on me.
10. Not sure I read this one.

Argh! I need Clark's memory!

Amber

Thanks, Amber, that was fun! Thanks for getting this out for us.

Well, since these stories weren't on the list I'd like to also recommend:

Pat's Family Hour\'s Baby Story - I read this the other night and it was terrific! <<Sorry, Pat, I've been meaning to write you and tell you so. Have patience with me. >>

KenJ's next generational Lois Lane (although not really) Hattie Kaplin, Reporter - watch out for her. She's got spunk.

Deadly Chakram's series: Nobody\'s Hero and Just a Man - Don't forget your box of tissues. AND her super fantastic summer ficathon: Spark of Discovery

I mentioned it on my list but the best Deathfic of the year should go to Mouserocks' Distraught

Ooooh! Shiny star sticker! <puts it on lid of laptop>

Thanks, Virginia, for the plug! Good work everyone. I can't seem to pick just one or two recommendations....

Oh, great fun. Thanks for the quiz, Amber.

/adds Fireworks by Virginia to the recommendation list/

Thanks, Michael.
