Guessing Post

[holmesticemods]

Thank you so much for another wonderful round of Holmestice! The mods want to say THANK YOU to all the creators who joined us for this round. You put in a lot of hard work and made some really great fanworks.

Reveals and the Master List go up on June 28th. Until then, please enjoy and comment on all the lovely fanworks. Creators, please do NOT respond to Dreamwidth comments or post your fanwork elsewhere on the Internet until reveals go up in the community. (You may of course reply to comments on AO3, which preserves your anonymity.)

But we're not done yet -- treats are coming right up! We'll continue to accept treats right through until reveals, so if there's a prompt for which you want to whip something up, please do! Just send it to holmesticemods@gmail.com using the regular submission guidelines.

If you'd like to guess at who created what in this round, a list of all the contributors -- including treat-makers -- is below the cut. Go ahead and take a guess! It's all in good fun.

ETA: Eeep! The earlier version of the list of creators had some errors, but it should be right now! (We hope!)

Wow, these deductions are very impressive and interesting to read. This is definitely very fitting to the Sherlock theme. It's certainly more than I can do. I gave this game a try for two hours, came up with only a handful of deductions, and then promptly gave up.

In any case, I really enjoyed this round of holmestice. It's amazing how many great stories and pieces of art come of out this. Making gifts, reading others' gifts, and leaving comments is a lot of fun. Thank you so much to ireallyshouldbedrawing for your very lovely gift for me!

If it helps anyone, I did one pinch hit.

And what were your handful of deductions? You certainly don't need a complete slate to play!

Ah, they were these, going by some patterns in tagging and writing style:

The Case of the Missing Detective — alexcat

Née Kitty Winter — ancientreader

Houdini and Holmes — gardnerhill

By Any Other Name — graycardinal

In darkness, I call your name (and you, mine) — trobadora

Carpe Vinium — write_out

Necessarily, I didn't write any of these myself...

[sanguinity]

There's no "necessarily" about it -- more than one person in this exchange routinely lodges "guesses" for their own work! However, we duly note that you are an honest soul who would never indulge in such a strategem... ;-)

These seem like excellent guesses to me! I'm glad you're joining in the madness! <3

I may be wrong, but I do remember one time being astounded that someone correctly guessed my contribution and named the reason as writing style. It's one of the few times (if only) that my contribution has been correctly guessed. I didn't think I had a distinct enough writing style to result in a correct guess.
