Sekrit 9: The Guessening: Electric Guessaloo: Age of Guesstron

[sinister42]

I will post answers to this no later than the late evening of Sunday October 29th. That's "late evening" in Oregon, mind you. Once I post the answers, you'll all be able to use your ample brains to figure out who guessed what correctly and congratulate each other accordingly.

Unless I get sucked into a Stranger Things marathon, and I've got a wedding to attend on Saturday, and it's my 10th anniversary on Saturday, and I'm playing D&D with my kid on Sunday, and...sh*t, I'll find time.

Why don’t we just post our own then

Will do!
TDZ already grokked it that I penned story 9 for Chrispenycate.

I have since lost my ecopy so am going into messages to retrieve from when I passed it to sinister42

Ok, now that someone’s started the ball rolling, I shall jump on the bandwagon and ...err... that’s getting dangerously mixed up, there, isn’t it?

I was #13.

 

[sinister42]

This is all most excellent and I'm all for it, but if you'd all still like a comprehensive list in one place, I'm happy to provide.

Yes please, it'll stop the scatter effect

I find it a bit coincidental that story 13 was about a train and number 13.

Some kinda moderator special power hmmmmm?

 

[Phyrebrat]

I was number 12

Or

Was

I?

(Yes, I was)

Oh, certainly we’ll take a comprehensive list — we just ran out of things to talk about in the meantime.

 

[sinister42]

Groovy. A comprehensive list will arrive posthaste. Or maybe prehaste. Or maybe antehaste. Or maybe anti-haste. I don't like to rush myself.

It's no big secret that I wrote Number Six. Here it is.

So is that the protocol at "reveal time" then?
Do we post the tales we wrote into this thread?
(First time insecurity )

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Some do, some don’t. It’s totally up to you.

 

[Danny McG]

Well, having downloaded and thoroughly enjoyed Victoria's tale of aliens tampering with their agents minds, all I can do is offer mine up for comparison.

(Ha! It's like comparing an Oreo to a birthday cake, I've a lot to learn about writing stories)

 

[Dan Jones]

I was number 5. I think. It was a long time ago.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

I was number 5. I think. It was a long time ago.

So that means The Big Cheat was Phyre.

 

[chrispenycate]

Ah, yes. My babies were numbers 1, 3 and 4. The doughnut one was assigned me, though I knew none of the characters or backstory (I haven't followed Starwars much since the original trilogy) and the others had triggered off responses - so I wrote them anyway. As one does. Someday I'll succeed in writing a story that incorporates all the demands, and the Santamaster can assign to whichever requester is left over, but this one I was in Finland, in Switzerland, traveling a lot, so performance was somewhat mediocre - I didn't even get a phrase of TDZs opera houde, for example.

People guessed quite a lot of mine, but there again, there were quite a lot .

 

[Danny McG]

Wow! Just a story writing machine.
I've downloaded those three now to read through tomorrow.

Do we do like critiques and stuff on the stories we were sent?

I think mine was from Cathbad

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Do we do like critiques and stuff on the stories we were sent?

Not generally, except in the same vein as those in the 75 and 300, which is to say, positive.
