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!
Graycardinal's Guesses
All the cookies are delivered, almost all the wrapping is done, and there are but a few scant moments left to guess at the authorship of various of the stories posted this round. As stated earlier, I have not prepared anything resembling a Spreadsheet of Doomâ„¢; this time round, it will all be sheerest speculation -- and perhaps even now, a touch of Jedi mind trickery. :-)
Some of these guesses are purely, well, guesses. Some, however, have actual deductions behind them.
ACD (& versions thereof)
The Charm of the Season -
Candid Review of a Fine Play -
ACD / Crossovers
A Case of Identities -
Police of Penzance -
Yet another true (and not so misleading) fact: many years ago I sat across at least one convention filk circle from gardnerhill -- though neither she nor I were wearing our current handles at the time. (This would have been at Baycon in the '80s, within a year or so of the Great Fire Drill Adventure.) And it's specifically because of that musical background that I suspect her of being behind "Police of Penzance". (Assuming it wasn't me, that is.)
We associate scfrankles with stories involving a particular sort of wit and comic adventure, and it's for this reason that I'm going to tag him for this round's Doctor Who crossover, complete with dueling disguises, an improbably accurate scalpel, and the Master welded into a torpedo casing. (One has to admire Mycroft's respect for the Master's gift of escape artistry....)
Elementary
The Five Doctors -
An L.A. Story -
If gardnerhill didn't write "Five Doctors" (and I think it's unlikely she did, precisely because it does hit so many of the same notes as her story from the prior round), then sanguinity seems to me by far the likeliest candidate among our known players to have been the mind behind it.
Russell (& Friends)
The State of His Mind -
Insoluble Puzzles -
sewing her skin together as I sow mine -
I have an advantage here, as one of the reasons we have more Russell stories this round is, in fact, that I invited the folks at Letters of Mary over to our sandbox. Thus I know who out of the present pool would be likely to have had one of the LoM mods as their beta, and that's a fairly definitive clue. And if I'm persuaded -- as I think I am -- by the arguments elsewhere for language_escapes as author of the Enola/Russell crossover, then I must also be persuaded by the bit of true-but-misleading observation that there was only one offerer for Charlotte Holmes this time out. (As a practical matter, of course, there are other candidates -- notably sanguinity. But Araminta's story doesn't feel like a sangunity story to me, and besides, I've already penciled our erstwhile mod in above. (Also, sanguinity and I have written enough stories for one another these last few rounds that I'd think she's an unlikely match for me)
And now to bed; we shall see what the morning brings.
Re: Graycardinal's Guesses
Sadly, though I'm flattered by your guess I didn't do that awesome G&S pastiche.
