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?

LOL!

Glad you're having fun with the game. Yeah bad descriptions are hard to match...even for the author.

All of your guesses are correct.

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

So glad you guys are having fun with this quiz!

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

We have a winner!

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.

Yes, those are all correct Lady Loisette.

::facepalm:: I'm embarrassed that I couldn't figure that one out.

OMG, I love this one! I think I recognized three of mine.

But also:

500 Miles by CarrieRene - "Clark takes a shower"
Caught in the Act by CarrieRene - "Vacuuming can be fun"

LOL! Hey Queenie!

Yes, those two are correct. Glad you like the game.

PS) List has been updated to mark off the correct guesses.

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

4/4

Thanks. Next?

Joy,
Lynn

I think the link for Star Child is wrong because it goes to a story by a different author from 2008, which made it difficult to match up to one of the descriptions. I think I found the correct story though.
