Winners Hall of Fame

for the Highlander Quote Game

Everything about Highlander: The Series, including the words used in this game, belongs to Davis/Panzer Productions, Gaumont, and/or Rysher. 

For a time I ran a "Highlander Quote Game," where I posted quotes from the show and quotes from fanfiction, and left them up until someone successfully identified them, or until a month had passed. I don't run that game anymore, but I thought I'd leave up the list of winners and quotes.

At first I didn't include the full quotes, here, for the fanfiction part of the game, so some of those early rounds only show the winners, not the quote.

Highlander Fanfiction Winners

Fiction Reader Freedom by Highlandlass

Radish Girl Bench Press by Mary Galasso

Lisa Kadlec Risk, by Cathy Butterfield "You should get yourself a new lawyer, Joseph Dawson," Murabi said
abruptly.  "MacLeod's offer to confess is your best chance at freedom."
Round 7
Kathy Hunter Still-Heart, by LaDonna King "It was both comforting and terrifying to see something so impossible under the harsh glare of modern lighting. The jackals looked somehow more firmly grounded in reality than the four walls around them, bringing Methos' own existence into question."
Round 8
Zofia Archangel Redeemed, by MacGeorge and V.  Watts      Methos swallowed the terrible dryness in his mouth. 
    "What did he say?"  Methos asked, afraid of the answer. 
    Amanda's mouth curved.  "He didn't want to bleed on the rug." 
    "Excuse me?"  The tension eased out of those wide shoulders. 
Amanda gestured toward the oriental carpet that lay in the middle of the room.  "He didn't want to stain the carpet," and she started to giggle.

Kathy Hunter The Better Part of Valor, by Teresa C
Round 10
RJ Ferrance Burdens of Responsibility, by Robin Tennenbaum
Round 11
Pollyanna Chaos Chronicles, Part 3, by Eng "Lt. Crane joined the Highlander and the doctor, glad to be  leaving the obscenely gleeful and thoroughly demented young watcher. No wonder they kept Dr. Piersen on historical research.  He wasn't safe out in the field."
Round 12
Ello
Angry Adolescence, by Vi Moreau
"Do you know what I want?" Methos asked, warming to his subject.  "I want the French to learn to make good beer.  After all, they make the best champagne on the planet.  And really excellent red  wines.  And you Germans, just across the border -- you make wonderful beer!  So why can't the French make good beer?  It's not that difficult, you know." 
Round 13
Nelle
Absolutely Not, by Kay Kelly
"Was this some Immortal equivalent of Alzheimer's?  Methos was very old, and he admittedly remembered nothing of  his youth. Was that an early symptom of a condition that was now worsening? 

Ridiculous. It would be one hell of a coincidence if the very next symptom involved something as traumatic as Richie Ryan's death. " 

Round 14
Apostlesangel
Welcome Back, by Dawn Cunningham
"Methos looked at the Watcher as if he'd lost his mind. 'Joe, in case you forgot, Ryan lost his head over a year ago. Last time I heard, that meant we didn't come back.'"
 
Round 15
Susan Fortune's Fool, by Dawn Nyberg "Richie saved me. He was going to kill me." Joe was beside himself.
Adam reached down and helped the man up from the floor.
