SS8 - The Guessing

[Cory Swanson]

Yeah, post them. I'm not good at guessing. I need to spend more time dissecting everyone's style before I can do that well.

Schedule change, so I'm changing my vote to "post answers" as well.

 

[Phyrebrat]

Left my Mac in school. Will get it back and post answers unless authors want to reveal themselves.

I wrote #3 and was correctly guessed by someone I was guessed as.

I still couldn't come up with guesses, there were a few I thought I might know and will no doubt go "ohhh I should have known that" when the others are revealed.

Tons of fun guys!!

Oh all right as a last chance guess I'll guess that Kerry or Jo wrote #4 which was totally brilliant and I still love reading.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

I was the author of number one, so Jo and Coast were correct.

Here is the whole thing:

 

[sinister42]

I wrote #8.

 

[Coast]

I was the author of number one

Thanks Victoria, I really liked it!

Mine was number 2, guessed correctly by Kerry.

Thanks for running things Phyrebrat!

 

[Cory Swanson]

I wrote #8.

Good story too. I enjoyed it immensely.

I wrote #7 as was guessed.

 

[sinister42]

Thanks - glad you liked it.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

#13 - which seems to have been rumbled by most

 

[chrispenycate]

I wrote #5, which most of you recognised, and then added #15, which DGJones did – I'm becoming predictable in my dotage. Just about everybody saw 'list of names - not as many as there are stories - oh, Chrispy's done multiples as usual'; now why would anyone think that?

I really enjoyed 'my' flying primitives story, a direction I would never have taken (which is part of the reason we do this, isn't it? Not only to stretch our writing muscles, but our imaginations' boundaries?).

And I am useless at guessing. I think I know which one hope did, and my own, and just maybe would have got Jo's…

I'm responsible for number 6. I don't think anyone guessed me did they? In fairness, it was a much darker story than I usually write, inspired by recent events in the US. I'm tempted to sub it somewhere.

I wrote #12 for sinister42. It was an interesting challenge for me, channeling Lovecraft and Adams simultaneously.

Thanks for the great story, Kerry. Yes, you absolutely should sub it somewhere.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Some really good story beginnings in there. I'd love to read more, especially @Jo Zebedee, @sinister42, and @johnnyjet.

 

[sinister42]

Right on. I'm planning to post mine in critiques, actually. Thanks!

You succeeded! Thanks for the great take on it.

Thanks. I had a lot of fun with it. I'm glad you liked it. And thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for running thing, Ph.

My tiger story was creepy awesome. Thanks Jo.

I wrote both #10 and #11 for Johnnyjet. They were a ton of fun to write. I always look forward to and enjoy this challenge.

Great entries, everyone

I wrote both #10 and #11 for Johnnyjet.

Aha, so you were the culprit for both stories! Really great job on two totally different stories. Thanks, @Vaz!
