MtYG Official Author Guessing Post

[nopseud]

Hopefully people have had a chance to read through a good selection of the stories by now, so it's time for the Official MtYG 2010 Author Guessing Post.

To check who participated in the challenge, you can view the page of stories sorted by recipient. Due to pinch-hits, some authors may have written more than one story

ephemera for Choral Harmony, the AJ/Joey story.
ninjetti75 for The Boyband Spirit, aka the one where a New Kid actually gets to talk.
greensounds for Nothing Says Love Like A Pinecone In Your Seat (Or A Frog In Your Pocket)
llamabitchyo for The Pussycat Monologues
withdiamonds for The Pussycat and the Porcupine

Of course I could be wildly wrong as I have been before, but these are my guesses.

[pensnest]

Hmm. I'm with you on some of these, but I'm going to call The Dark Wheel of the Zodiac for ninjetti75.

I was sure I'd figured randomling for one of them, and now I can't remember which one that was. Bother.

[trumpeterofdoom]

I was torn between Zodiac and Boyband Spirit for ninjetti75. Hmm. Perhaps I shall change it to that, now that I think of it.

Actually I wanted to guess you for Pussycat and Porcupine too. I don't know why I went with Donna in the end!

[pensnest]

I think guessing SeSa authors is even more difficult than guessing in other anonymous challenges, because of the recipient factor. I mean, last year I wrote post-apocalyptic vampires with an AJ/Kevin pairing, which is not, I think, exactly characteristic.

What I've been rather impressed by is how many of the writers have got their *recipients* right!

[epicflailer]

i can actually play this year! without feeling like i'm cheating! \o/

which--okay, i only have a couple of guesses, and i'm probably ridiculously, embarrassingly off-mark, but what the heck! i am going to guess that ullman79 wrote my (awesome) story, sing this song with me, and that pensnest wrote the fantastical eldorado, and that daisiesdaily is responsible for i survived the apocalypse and all i got was this tattoo!

Sneaking in a guess the day before reveal--which may be wildly off the mark--but I feel compelled to guess Sami B. as the author of Eldorado. She wrote a really awesome AU last year, so maybe...?

[samibee]

Aw man, I WISH I'd written that! :D:D:D Count me flattered you thought I was as good as Chalcopyrite.

[kikiduck]

I'm going to go with bubbleforest wrote This Will Destroy You, greensounds wrote You're The One For Me, You're My Ecstacy, and alwayseven wrote Falling Back.

Oh man, I really have no idea.

[boomingvoice]

muahahaha

[kikiduck]

I DIDN'T HAVE MY EPIPHANY THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE WRITTEN TOOTH AND CLAW UNTIL AFTER I POSTED THIS. DAMMIT.

[ullman79]

My last minute guesses are that pensnest wrote Five Times Howie Didn't Lose It, luxshine wrote The Boyband Spirit, ninjetti75 wrote The Dark Wheel of the Zodiac, and withdiamonds wrote It Stops Bullets.

[trumpeterofdoom]

I am immensely flattered that you thought I was Pen. No, really, immensely. *blushes* Especially since I only wrote that story in the two days before the deadline!

[ullman79]

Hee! Well it was one of my absolute favorite stories and so it just had to be written by a fabulous writer - turns out I was at least right about that. :)
