OMG YES! When chapter 252 came out, I immediately thought about how "obsolete" your fic would be and I loled at the timing, but I couldn't say anything because... yeah...

But I knew the hidden side to your flailing that week. I knew. XD

This piece reads more smoothly this time. And the part about Tsuna's resolution to bring the kiddies back in the picture is similar to the latest chapter this week (hello, TYLTsuna). I know it's not easy to get out of your comfort zone of Gokudera and/or Yamamoto, but I think you pulled it off very nicely.

did anyone manage to spot me in the guessing round?
I would like to think that I would if I were allowed to. You're the only one who used the dividers in that round (now that I think about it, you should've been easily recognizable based on that alone) and you're the only one (that I recall off the top of my head who used dividers in your other fics). So based on that as well as this

He is nineteen when he first meets Byakuran, young, naïve, and not a little enthusiastic, having just completed ( ... )

THERE WAS FOREHEAD SMACKING LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE. Sometimes life just isn't fair. XDDD

Yeah, I definitely didn't make much of an attempt to disguise myself at all. I noticed right off the bat when skimming through the other submitted fics that mine was the only one with dividers; between that and the fact that I used the exact same past/present back-and-forth narrative style that I used in Rationale, and I was pretty sure I was transparent.

Haha, the sad thing is I actually tried to change that sentence you mentioned to make it sound less like one of the sections in one fic... only to apparently wind up making it sound more like that part you quoted from an entirely different fic. XD Well, like I said, I really wasn't trying to disguise much. :P

Ah, well. Guess there's no way to predict what others are thinking or how far back they'll dig through your fics (when I "researched," I only took the three most recent ones in KHR + one in another fandom).

I am so excited for the new theme like burning. :D

Well, you did pretty well when it came to identifying everyone, so I guess that method was pretty effective. I wonder if anyone did actually guess me right; I thought about asking for my stats, but decided not to. XD

ME TOO. The only problem is that unlike this round, I have no clue what to write and way too many ideas. But man, it's going to be so much fun seeing what everyone comes up with. :D

Awww, you should ask for stats if you're curious. I asked for mine and Lynn just told me that I was one of the enigmatic writers and that someone thought I wrote the Alpha of the Varia story (of which I was flattered because I <3 that fic) and that someone mistook my fic for somebody else. Since there apparently weren't many guessers this time around, I'm sure it'll be no problem.

I know I didn't guess yours (though that's partly because this comment of yours mislead me into thinking you had submitted two fics :P). Heh, maybe I will ask for my stats, then--I know a few people mistakenly pegged me as half_sleeping, so I do wonder if anyone actually got it right. XD
