I honestly didn't see that last story!

So I simply assumed there was a red herring name, as usual.

One should never assume... etc.

Somehow, and I can't work it out yet, you've named nineteen authors for the nineteen stories but missed your own name out!
Have you added a ringer to the list of authors? - I'm only on my phone tonight so am unable to cross check this.

Edit: you've got chrispenycate down twice on the list, for weathered and storm chasers, therefore you are the Author of one of those two stories

Yeah, everybody knows that it's in Sekrit Santa where Chrispy writes extra stories - doing it in Anonymous would be just too confusing

 

[Cathbad]

~sigh~ I don't think I'll ever try to guess again.

Possibly... but then again, maybe I did a double trick just to throw you off. Hmmm...

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Good challenge, everyone! Enjoyable stories, all. Here are my guesses (wild as the storms from the stories):

WITNESS STATEMENT 07/08/17... - Ashleyne
The Majestic Storm - DragonAether
SAD - Droflet
Weathered - Chrispenycate
A Storm in Time - Shyrka
Last Night - Joshua Jones
Dies Irae - Victoria Silverwolf
Forecast - TitaniumTi
Like war, weather is what you get - jackwinabix
Closing Arguments - PeterV
Ba Dum BOOM - Glen
The Wizard of OZ: the Lost Alternate Ending - Starbeast
Solomon Blacke - johnnyjet
Mist - farntfar
It Was A Dark and Stormy Night... - mosaix
The coming home blues - dannymcg
Left Behind - antimon
The Traveller - Cathbad
Storm chasers - PeterV


My two favorites were:

Dies Irae

and

It Was A Dark and Stormy Night...

I chose It Was A Dark and Stormy Night..., though it was very close. Looking forward to the reveal, and to a story being crowned champion.

Honestly... I have only written one CC

 

[Cat's Cradle]

I know, I know, PeterV! (Did I get either right??) There is sometimes a - oh, what's the term...Pickled Herring?*...in the authors list so that we do not have to guess ourselves as the writer of one of the stories (to maintain the anonymity aspect of things). You, my friend, were herringed, on my second listing of you.

*I'm being Mr. Funnyguy...it's red herring, of course.

 

[Danny McG]

Disheartened to notice that nobody's voted for my story as yet
