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!)

Nope!

Oh, good, the pointing and laughing has begun!

No, seriously; as sanguinity has often noted, half the fun of the guessing phase is the byplay as people shoot down each other's theories and attempt to deflect suspicion from themselves. And like Holmes in the Russellverse, I am perfectly happy in the role of occasional comic relief.

(Even if certain people know too much to file guesses as such, I am astonished at the lack of attention given to my earlier clues....)

Oh, the delighted laughter has been going on throughout! But I have been determinedly sitting on my hands to keep from replying to your hints and guesses, because sadly, every reply I've wanted to make is a spoiler. But do please know that I am highly entertained. :-D

Hmmmmmmm.

Two truths and a lie:
1) one of the creators above did, in fact, create one of the stories you named above, but your guess is incorrect as to which one
2) that creator created two gifts, the other which is also incorrectly guessed at
3) I am lying above one of the above facts

Hmmmmmmmm.

(Wait, there's an echo in here....)

#1 is practically a foregone conclusion.
#2 and #3 mirror one another.
(If #2 is true, #3 is a lie; if #2 is a lie, #3 is true.)
That being the case, there's not much else to be reasoned from these statements.
