1st Round of Guesses dkwilliams January 2 2017, 17:24:51 UTC

Okay, will take a stab - although with 3 new players, this is more difficult than usual. Not that it's a piece of cake at any time! And there are at least 2 stories that I can't even guess who wrote them ( ... )

2nd Round of Guesses dkwilliams January 2 2017, 23:16:23 UTC

11)I am going to guess that Elistaire wrote "Shamballa"

11a) I think that Amandr wrote "Shamballa" and
11b) Elistaire wrote "The Three of Them"

12) And I think that Idontlikegravy wrote "Where the Love Light Gleams"

13) Also Morganlyri wrote "Walk Beside the Dreamer"

EDITS: See Below

3rd Round of Guesses dkwilliams January 4 2017, 03:10:23 UTC

This is my last set - unless I go back and change some!

14) "A Dance Told in 6 Parts" - Hafital (maybe)

15) "By My Life" - I think Elstaire

16) I have no idea what Muccamukk wrote - possibly one of the ones I've guessed already - so I am throwing in the towel. Edit: Okay, I will guess "Bag of Bolts" just because my dart hit it on the dartboard. Really, I have no idea.

EDITS dkwilliams January 6 2017, 01:27:58 UTC

On reflection, I am joining the crowd on these two:

Third time's the charm - Merriman
Hostage to Memory on a Wine-Dark Sea - Amand-r

And then changing these:

"An' to the Greenwood" - Banbury
"Shamballa" - Killabeez
"By My Life or Death" - Elistaire
"Where the Love Light Gleams" - Argentum_LS
"The Three of Them" - Carenejeans
"Introspective CHristmas" - Idontlikegravy

ADDENDUM: Mackiedockie, what the **** did you write this year??????

ADDENDUM2:
Okay, I think Mackiecdockie wrote "The Long Night Moon" - but now I don't know what Jinxed-Wood wrote....

muccamukk January 2 2017, 17:49:10 UTC

I don't know anyone, so I can't really guess, but I had a lot of fun with this fest <3

ETA: I think I'll try guessing:

Mackiedockie wrote Private Journal of Joe Dawson
dkwilliams wrote by my life or death (my story)

argentum_ls January 3 2017, 01:26:17 UTC

♫ I'm so behind ♫

I'll try to come back with more guesses before the 5th. In the meantime, I think:

Lferion wrote "Introspective Christmas" (MY GIFT!!)
Amand-r wrote "Hostage to Memory on the Wine-Dark Sea"

killabeez January 3 2017, 02:41:18 UTC

Tricky tricky, authors. Most I'm not sure of at all. Sending my guesses to the Modlander privately, so as to avoid outing myself. :D

ETA: half the fun, of course, is seeing people guess wrong, so I'm going to post one of my guesses. It's the one that's driving me the craziest, because never before has hafital fooled me. Usually I can spot her at a hundred paces! But this year, I am kinda stumped, and a little shamefaced to admit it. So, here goes-I'm guessing she wrote "An Unexpected Gathering." But dammit, I am not confident at ALL! *shakes fist*

dkwilliams January 4 2017, 04:51:18 UTC

Yes, that is fun! Also snickering when people guess wrong on your story, and vowing to be trickier next year when they guess right.

hafital January 5 2017, 07:53:12 UTC

AAAHHH

That is so funny because I have NO IDEA what you wrote at all and I usually can tell!!

*clings to youuuuuuu*

killabeez January 5 2017, 08:03:53 UTC

That makes me feel a little bit better. :)

hafital January 5 2017, 07:51:43 UTC

Ahhhh I always leave this too late, and I haven't yet finished all the stories. I always have intentions of like, doing charts, and tracking comments, and going back and checking out sign up posts. hah.

okay here are my few guesses.

The Private Journal of Joseph Dawson - Lferion
An' to the Greenwood She is Gane (mine!) - Abdabsolutely
The Three of Them - Diana Williams
The Long Night Moon - Mackiedockie
By my life or death - EDIT - I'm going to go out on a craaazy limb here and say this is Killa
EDIT Third time's the charm - merriman
EDIT Watcher Orphans - pat_t ??? Or maybe still idontlikegravy???

and joining the chorus... Hostage to Memory on a Wine-Dark Sea - Amand-r

the others I have no clue or I haven't gotten to them yet.
