Guess the fanworks creators!

[sholio]

Got a guess about who created a thing in this year's SSR Confidential? Here's your chance to give it your best shot!

(This is modeled on the guessing posts for festivids and other exchanges that similarly give people the chance to guess the creators during the anonymous period. I thought it might be fun to try it this year!)

I'm guessing sholio wrote A Life of Adventure because it's really well-written, has a lot of action and also humour, and Jack suffers very prettily. :-) It reminds me of Wing and a Prayer, a Sam-Bucky rescue story that also has a lot of well-characterized action and humour.

I'm still trying to guess which one selenak wrote since she said it was easy! But I haven't read everything yet.

Hee, so as it turns out it was NOT me, but it does feel very much like mine; I also had that thought when I was reading it. :D

OMG, I was so sure. //facepalm -- But you wrote the strawberry cake one with Dottie! I didn't guess that either.

[sholio]

I thought it was a really good guess, though! Of all the fics in the fest, that's probably the one that pings most like my fic to me.

Aww. -- As it turned out I didn't guess anything right! I should have guessed the opposite of my original guesses, maybe. But I still love anon periods, they're so fun.

Thank you for trying, anyway! <3 <3

I like anon periods too (they're very democratizing to the fic) but I am THE ACTUAL WORST at guessing. I don't think I've ever guessed ANYTHING right. XD I always think my fics are terribly obvious, but as it turns out I'm blindingly terrible at recognizing other people's tells, so I suspect the same is true of me.

(The one person who can reliably guess my fic is sheron, who betas for me a lot. I still can't get over how supernaturally good she is at it. I guess it's not THAT surprising to guess my Jack fic, since I'm one of only a handful of people in the fandom who writes him, but she actually managed to get "Midnight Clear" this year - the Peggy and Dugan one - and I've literally never written those characters in the same fic before. It's downright spooky. I cannot rule out the possibility that she's installed spyware on my computer. O:)

HAH, that makes me feel better! I always feel my fics are very obvious too -- I think everyone does, really.
