Discussion - May 2015 100-Word Anon Writing Challenge (#6)

[farntfar]

I join a whole bunch of people, it seems, who got a vote, for which I really grateful, but noone guessed me.
Also a couple of shortlistings. I'll be thanking you properly later once we're all outed on Sunday.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Which means yours is either 'Damnation of Qaseem' or 'PRISONCEPTION' Interesting but not too useful.

Are you certain about this, Chris?

The Damnation of Qaseem was not attributed to Perp, according to my records and Prisonception was only attributed to him once, not twice. At least, that's according to my records, which, admittedly, could be out. However I have double-checked my clue and Perp got the blame twice for my story!

 

[Perpetual Man]

Not blamed, honoured.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

On the other hand, Juliana's must be 'Eyes of Fate' (assuming all comments honest)

I really couldn't say

What I will say is that one Chronner gave me the credit for writing Juiana's story, which made me swell up with pride.

Ah, I see what went wrong - copy/pasting to get everything in one line Remedy (who had two entries for Perp) got cloned. Which Gives me 'Clean Sweep', which fits with the one vote.

 

[Remedy]

I got votes and no one guessed me, but best of all was the flattering smattering (Ooh, I like that combo) of superior chrons members who got blamed for it

Check again

This is much more fun than I thought. I have an image in my mind of Chrispy going rapidly bald and cross-eyed as he scans the comments for clues.

 

[Zoe Mackay]

One person has guessed my story, and I was not unhappy with how the voting went. (Actually, I can't imagine being unhappy with it at all because I have a sense of perspective, but you get the point).

I have decided that I am rubbish at guessing.

 

[johnnyjet]

More clues to obfuscate things: I got no correct guesses, one vote and four short listings. By the way, thanks for the vote, ***.

PS: I'm pretty awful at guessing myself, Robert.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Mosaix, you got two correct: one was no surprise to anyone but the second one was unique to you.

 

[Remedy]

I can't wait until Victoria gets here to find that yet one more person has attributed her to the story she voted for...

(including myself)

*gulp* look out Mosaix!!!

 

[ratsy]

I was picked for a lot of stories..I will say this though, Johnnyjet may have been guessed as my stories author...once or twice

 

[johnnyjet]

I did warn Victoria about the eyes of fate . . .

 

[johnnyjet]

Ooh, a clue from ratsy! Hmm.

 

[hopewrites]

My favorite part of these is seeing who get's put down for what I wrote, and the variety of styles my name gets put down for. I dont remember if it was an official game, but the first time we did this it felt like everyone had me pegged, now I'm struggling to see any consistency in whose name is put down for my piece or the pieces I get put down for.

Which tells me I've been off so long doing my other world things that A) no one is familiar with my style or B) in all the growing up I did while I was out my style has changed so much that I dont sound the way I used to.

Probably some of both.

 

[johnnyjet]

Or maybe some people become so overwhelmed trying to associate stories with writers' styles that they just begin throwing darts. (Did I just confess to something?)

 

[Juliana]

they just begin throwing darts. (Did I just confess to something?)

Ouch! I thought I felt something sharp stab me in the shoulder...

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Personally I end up putting them in a random-number-generating programme and allot authors accordingly, but this time I think I did rather well with 31 out of 31 stories attributed to the correct author. Sadly, I wasn't allowed to flaunt my skill.

*gulp* look out Mosaix!!!

Oh God! I didn't did I? And I was having a laugh at you guys having a strip torn off by Victoria. I should have studied the voting more carefully. Too late now.
