Many congratulations to the winner!
Well, ‘random guesses‘ except for the two I definitely knew. I cheated, really. I only did as well as @Elckerlyc , not better. Still my best performance to date, however!

Well now, don't be so modest. 7 is definitely better than 5.
I am working on a second guess, but doubt it will be (much) better.
It is a bit quiet on the guessing front, though.

I guess people don’t like being teased…?

My second submission (it’s been a bit busy here in Blighty, this is my first chance to review my guesses!). It’s you and me @Elckerlyc , a fight to the death!

You have 7 correct. The ball is in @Elckerlyc 's court.
Oh, really? No overall improvement?! I’m going to substitute in the four entries @Elckerlyc gave herself in the second round - let’s see if that improves my score…

Good grief! Let’s hear it for good, old fashioned, GAGL - guile and good luck.

Congrats!
Congrats!
Well, I might have been a bit premature in declaring myself the winner. What does @mosaix say? Is it time to chat about the stories?Of course the downside to guessing game is that we have been unable to discus our own stories
Apologies, everyone. I've been a bit distracted of late and not contributing as much as I should.
Now we're into July I suppose it could be the end of guessing and the start of chatting. But it's up to @elvet, really.
I suppose, in future, we could separate the guessing and chatting threads so people could choose which thread to look at?
