Guess Who?
Guess Who?
Now that all the postings are over, the fun of having new Kaisoo fics to read to everyday is over. But don't fret! That was only the first phase of the fun. This post marks the beginning of the second phase: the Guess Who? game. How do you play, you ask? (Or, if you're a veteran of fic exchanges, maybe you don't.) The answer is simple: take a stab at guessing the authors of the fics on this list and put your guesses in the space for comments below. If you want some hints, here are some guidelines you might find useful:
- Don't worry about guessing the author wrong! I know I called it a game, but this game has no winners. Actually it does. Everyone's a winner, and I'll get to that in a second. It's all for fun! No one's going to judge. If you're really afraid, you can always go anonymous in the comments. A lot of authors try to disguise their writing styles during exchanges, so if you guess wrong, the writer has the chance to cackle evilly at you behind the screen. If you guess right, you get to cackle evilly at the author! And in my humble opinion, there is never enough evil cackling in the world.
- You have a handy-dandy author-bank right in the master list below. Everyone who received a fic has also written a fic. I could give you a list of pinch-hitters, but that might be a bit of a spoiler, so consider those bonus points. Not that we're really counting, unless you want us to :)
- This should be common sense, but bashing won't help you win. In fact, karma will probably bite you in the bootie and Modperor will send Chronicles Simpkins to Cut Your Ass. (P.S. That was a reference to a screenplay. Modperor is not threatening you. Well, not really.)
Without further ado, the masterlist!

Kai/D.O; ~5.1k; PG-13
High School AU. Due to his association with Beagleline (Baekhyun/Chanyeol/Chen), Do Kyungsoo finds himself in the most ridiculous situations.
