[annavere]

Round two...

Stolen Time - mackiedockie
Garbage and Flowers - brightknightie
Holy Ground - merriman
A Little Drinking, A Little Treasure Hunting - .... black dwarf
Reunion Under the Fireworks - .... .... dkwilliams

My brain is shorting out over the last few, so I think that's as far as I can go.

Guesses - 1st set

Okay I'll jump in with my first set of guesses. I am still reading and also we have some new blood so I am still puzzling out the possibilities. And two Pinches really throws a spanner into the works.

Series of Connections - Sharpest_Asp
Garbage and flowers - Brightknightie
Old Fashioned Number Nine - Killa
Stolen Time - Mackiedockie
In Good Company - Pennywashburn

Right?!! I had a system! 😉

Re: Guesses - 1st set

[pennywashburne]

I heart your icon so hard!!

Re: Guesses - 1st set

[jasmasson]

Thanks, I love Clue! (Also, has a good representation of my face while trying to work out who wrote what!)

Re: Guesses - 1st set

[dkwilliams]

I also love Clue! We are going to see the touring musical production of it next month!

(and I echo the facial expression, but also the "Flames! Flames on the side of my head" - which is how I feel now. I think I need a lie-down.)

🤣

Re: Guesses - 2nd Set

[dkwilliams]

Okay, let's see how my crystal ball is working (bangs on the thing)

Cousin's Retreat - Sharpest_Asp (yes, I know I guessed them for another story but I think they did a two-fer Pinch)
Duo - Jasmasson
Ancient Chronicles - Karenia_rune (just because I can't sort this one out and she's new so maybe?)
Moondance - Hafital (going with the crowd on this one)
The Art of Abjuration - Coralsendria (torn between this and Behind the Story so flipped a coin)
The Homecoming - Raine_Wynd
The Future is Prologue - Morgan leri
Behind the Story - Lady Silver/Argentum_ls
Guests for the Weekend - Annavere
The Pitch - Havocthecat

I think that Black Dwarf either wrote "Forging" or "A Little Drinking" and Merriman wrote the other. (Unless Black Dwarf really tricked me and wrote the Mummy/Stargate one which...fair enough.) I am going to guess

"Forging" - Black Dwarf
"A Little Drinking, A Little Treasure Hunting" - Merriman

And I think our other pinch hitter might be Teratornis with "Holy Ground" and "I Say We Party"

[teratornis]

Alright let's go

Duo - Black_Dwarf
Moondance - Hafital
Stolen Time - Mackiedockie
The Pitch - Havocthecat
Garbage and Flowers - Merriman
Behind the Story - Karrenia_rune
Old Fashioned Number Nine - Killabeez
Ancient Chronicles - Morgynleri
Reunion Under the Fireworks - Dkwilliams
Cousin's Retreat - Sharpest_Asp
The Art of Abjuration - Jasmasson
The Homecoming - Raine_Wynd
A Little Drinking, a Little Treasure Hunting... - Pennywashburne
