Everyone who guessed got at least three right. Great job.

Every story got at least one guess, and the only story that nobody guessed right was "Forging," by argentum_ls. Lady Silver in stealth mode!

Coralysendria, Sharpest Asp, Teratornis, and pennywashburne were also tricksy, with only one person correctly guessing them.

A few of us who've been around here a while were pretty obvious. There were three stories that every single one of our guessers got right:

- Moondance or A Series of Extraordinary Events (hafital)
- Old Fashioned Number Nine (killabeez)
- Stolen Time (Mackiedockie)

Two other stories also had 6 correct guesses:

- Cousin's Retreat by Sharpest Asp
- Ancient Chronicles by Morgyn Leri

Results:

Hafital - 3
Teratornis - 8
Lady Silver - 8

Tied for 3rd place with 10 correct guesses: Annavere and dkwilliams

2nd place: jasmasson with an impressive 11 correct

...and in first place, Black Dwarf, with a sweeping 12 correct guesses!

Assorted Story Stats:

20 Stories
22 Signups
2 Pinch hits (Sharpest Asp and killabeez)
2 treats a la havocthecat
Sharpest Asp wrote 2 stories
Havocthecat wrote 3 stories, which made her difficult to spot!

Crossovers: 4, BtVS twice.

Thank you so much to Teratornis for tabulating our Highlander Character Appearances:
- Methos - 13 (some things don't change!)
- Duncan - 11
- Richie - 9
- Joe - 8
- Connor, Amanda - 6 each
- Rebecca - 4
- Darius, Kronos, Randi McFarland, Tessa, Ceirdwyn - 2 each
- Amy Brennan-Thomas, Hugh Fitzcairn, Gina de Valicourt, Robert de Valicourt, Kalas, James Horton, Sunda Kastagir, Angie Burke, May-Ling Shen, Ramirez, Gregor Powers, Jennifer Hill, Brenda Wyatt, Anne Lindsey, Caspian, and Silas each had one appearance—as Tornis said, we really dragged in the whole ensemble this year.

I think this is probably the first year that we had more Richie appearances than Joe. Clan Denial still riding strong!

Thank you all for making this first year of modding fun and easy for us, and let's do it again, yeah? Also, just for fun, let's leave the collection open for any additional treats anyone would like to write. ♥

Okay, I had some time to count this all down.

4th place: Hafital with 5 correct guesses!

3rd place: Diana with 6 correct guesses! WHAT HAPPEN.

2nd place: Killa with 9 correct guesses!

And NOW IN FIRST PLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME: Black Dwarf with 11 correct guesses! Like they came HARD AND CORRECT. CONGRATS!

A few thoughts:

1. How did people find Malinaldarose? IT'S THEIR FIRST TIME.
2. Oh mackie, mackie, mackie, we see you coming from far away. And I ain't mad. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
3. Everyone was apparently CONVINCED Pennywashburne wrote The Smith of Lemnos, so both she and merriman get a master deception award. I hope you coordinated that.

It was a lazy year here at the ranch. I am glad you all had fun. I did too! I've read about half of the stories and now I'm gonna go finish the rest.

Notes: There were 3 drop outs, and one of them was me, for which I apologize profusely. It's not an excuse, but I started a new job this fall, and its biggest month is December, and I am not used to leaving for work at 3:30 am.

In addition to the drop outs, one of the pinch hitters didn't sign up. AND some of the stories for the drop outs were altered to fit their recipients, or new stories started altogether. And some stories were extra, which is why some people got more than one story. That was done at the author's discretion and not remotely a reflection of that recipient's original author.

So enjoy THAT. Ha.


I will leave this up until after New Year's and then I'll go into the archive, do the clicky clicky and then edit this.

HAVE AT IT.
