ACD is still pending (family has arrived in town, which is going to co-opt much of my attention temporarily), but two issues require a bit of course correction.
First, there's the problem of "The Blue Parrot", as I had failed to note the complimentary comment from gardnerhill on that story prior to assigning that guess.
Second, I note on rechecking the posts that I have accidentally made two different guesses with respect to the podfic of "Mentor". I believe both were valid when made, but the second, crediting rachelindeed is now contra-indicated by the presence of AO3 kudos.
It's extremely tempting to solve this problem by simply attributing "Blue Parrot" to rachelindeed (not least because it would help deal with another anomaly we'll get to in a moment). But that just doesn't feel quite right. While she certainly could have written that story, based purely on technical and literary considerations, the prose just doesn't feel like hers.
No, if "Blue Parrot" isn't gardnerhill, and if I haven't strayed too far afield in the rest of my assignments, then there's just one Rathbone volunteer left open on the Spreadsheet of Doom:

Now I just have to work out why I have six ACD stories to assign, and eight players available to fill those six slots....
