Spreadsheet of Doom: Part the First

Time being what it is, best not to put this off too late, and getting the first part out of the way should be relatively brief (especially since I get to piggyback to a significant extent on other people's detective work).

Multimedia

Vid: Futile Devices [personal profile] cam_elot

The Spreadsheet of Doom gives us very few offers for vids, and I agree with [personal profile] starfishstar that neither [personal profile] rachelindeed nor [personal profile] sanguinity are likely candidates for this particular vid. Unless a pinch-hitter picked this up ([personal profile] smallhobbit, perhaps?), [personal profile] cam_elot is the likeliest candidate.

Podfic: The Kincardine File [personal profile] evilinsanemonkey

I had been almost ready to go spelunking in my vault of Ancient Convention Filk Tapes to see if I could find a civilian recording of [personal profile] gardnerhill in performance (we established a round or two back that they and I crossed paths in livespace decades ago in a filk room at Baycon) when [personal profile] starfishstar reported a voice match in connection with their guess for this. I am going to trust that research, although I am still tempted to cross-check, because my first instinct on hearing the podfic was to consider [personal profile] gardnerhill.

Due credit to [personal profile] starfishstar, then -- and we'll see.

ART:
This Meeting of Like Minds [personal profile] penaltywaltz
Some Rest in the Country [personal profile] natrix_natrix
The Essential Layers in a Gentleman's Attire [personal profile] strampunch

On two of these I join the consensus in notable part because it *is* a consensus, and I have no good reason not to trust the collective judgment of the gallery on the matter.

On "Like Minds", I am an outlier. First of all, my sense of the numbers is that there are enough contributors this time out that there shouldn't have been a need for anyone to double-dip and create two main gifts. For that reason, I doubt that either [personal profile] iwantthatcoat or [personal profile] rachelindeed produced art this time around; there are better matches for both among the fic. And if we also eliminate the two other well-matched artists and the likely vidder from the mix, that leaves one obvious candidate for a Wimsey/Russell blending such as this.

More later....
