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!)

Doom, Act 2.5 - Course Corrections

[graycardinal]

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:

The Blue Parrot (revised guess): a_different_equation

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

Unless I wrote my gift for myself. Heh heh heh.

Matching certainly goes more easily when we match people to themselves!

Re: Doom, Act 2.5 - Course Corrections

[graycardinal]

You do realize that saying it that way, as opposed to the conditional "would go more easily", strongly implies that you've actually matched at least one recipient to themself at some point in this or a prior round....

Does it? Imagine that.
