Guessing Post

That's a wrap for the main round of gifts! 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 wonderful things.

Reveals and the Master List go up on December 21st! Until then, please enjoy and comment on all the lovely fanworks. Creators, please do NOT respond to comments on DW or post your fanwork elsewhere until reveals go up in the community. (You may of course post to our AO3 Winter 2017 Holmestice collection, which preserves your anonymity. You may reply to AO3 comments, as well.)

The main round of gifts are all posted, but we're not done yet -- we have several days of treats coming up! We'll continue to accept treats right through until reveals, so if there's a prompt out there that intrigues you and you want to whip something up for it, please do! Just send it to [email protected], using the regular submission guidelines.

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

Go forth and leave love for your fellow Holmestice authors, artists, and podficcers. See you again on the 21st, when we reveal who made what!

Ooh, you know what, I'll second that... I wouldn't have expected ancientreader to write something gen and Mycroft-centric, but that seems to have been in response to write_out's requests specifically. And the story has an erudite quality that matches ancientreader.

*Also*, the author's enthusiasm at being matched to write_out as their recipient aligns rather neatly with ancientreader's enthusiasm at seeing write_out sign up in the first place. ;-)

...Wow, we're all awfully devious in the clues we look for, aren't we? Makes one rather nervous about what one accidentally reveals in author's notes and seemingly innocuous formatting choices!

In previous rounds, I've deliberately mismatched my formatting and copyediting choices between stories to throw off anyone trying to identify authors by their "fists," so to speak. Back then, it always seemed like wasted effort, but now that we have such scientific guessers... ;-)

Diabolical! :D

I might give some serious thought to this strategy for the next round...

Clearly, I need to have someone retype my fic in their own formatting.
I feel as if I'm as easy to recognize as Mr Windibank's typewriter.

Ha! Cosigning this guess. Ancientreader was my first guess as soon as I read the AN. :) The actual story feels very much like an Ancientreader story as well. I LOVE it.
