Welcome to the 2024 Kerth Quiz: Double Fudge Crunch Round 
SPIFFY DISCLAIMER THINGY!: All the stories featured in this quiz qualify for the Kerth Awards overall, across various categories, but this quiz is not a stamp of recommendation for nomination. There are so many more fantastic stories which qualify for the Kerths, but this quiz only covers 7 randomly chosen ones.
(Instructions are blatantly copied/linked from previous Kerth Quizzes.)RECOMMENDATIONS: Don't forget that recommendations for other favorite eligible stories are *very* welcome and encouraged! Have a favorite that didn’t fit into a previous category? Add it here! So don't forget to add these in a section after your guesses!
QUIZ RULES: TWO points for getting the story and author from the QUOTE; this is the ‘DOUBLE’ in the Double Fudge Crunch Round. These are a little harder, so be sure to read carefully for clues that might help you! Plus, shiny gold stars for those who recognize their own stories. Please don't forget to mention which number you're answering. Rule recap: Open hard drive and open boards (+AO3!), *don't* forget to snip out the excerpts in your replies, and don't forget the spoiler tag when you post in the replies thread.
CATEGORY: While these quizzes have covered 8 categories, the Kerths have 17 categories overall! This quiz could pull from ANY of those categories.
HINTS: There are no repeating authors within this quiz. One and a half of the stories have been in previous quizzes. Look for context clues - this format is designed to be tough, but I’ve intentionally tried to pull quotes that will guide you to find the story titles! There are no tricks here, just treats (the ‘FUDGE’ in the Double Fudge Crunch Round.)
The DEADLINE for entries for this quiz is SUNDAY, MARCH 9, 2024, by 11:59 p.m (Eastern Time Zone). (This is the ‘CRUNCH’ in the Double Fudge Crunch Round; you’ve only got half the time to reply!)
(And don’t worry – you still have until March 9, to answer the Micro-Short quiz, too!)
This is the LAST QUIZ of the 2025 Kerth Season! So be sure to get your answers in and rack up those last points!

EXCERPT #1: The Fourth of July picnic progressed just as Lois had imagined it would.
EXCERPT #2: As she took a sip of her coffee, her eyes drifted toward the bag from their advent calendar, placed neatly on the table beside the tree.
EXCERPT #3: I’d taken a chance on warming the coffee but had overdone it.
EXCERPT #4: Joy stared back at his fellow emotions, a deep frown creasing his brows.
EXCERPT #5: Lois could see the lights and garlands decorating the house as she approached the still-open door, and she could feel the warmth from the kitchen as it beckoned her into the house.
EXCERPT #6: By some miracle, she hadn't yet gotten frost-bite despite the lack of socks or gloves.
EXCERPT #7: As far as spaceships went, it was hardly impressive, it reminded her of something an overzealous fanboy might build in their garage.
Good luck, everyone!
