Everyone who guessed got at least one right, including Raine Wynd and Mackiedockie who both only guessed one.

Every story got at least one guess. One story -- Discrepancy -- got only one guess.
One story -- A Favor in Turn -- got 7 guesses, though three of them were Diana's, so 5 guessers.

- Ghosts
- It's Christmas! In Paris!
- Someplace New and Someplace Old (2 guesses were Diana's)

- A Night at Le Wroonian Blues Bar (2 different authors guessed)
- How to Graduate from University (3 different authors guessed)
- License (2 different authors in 3 guesses)
- Friendship and Favors (4 different authors guessed in 4 guesses. Rhi really stumped people.)
- Hellish Dreams of Heaven (2 people guessed the same)
- Discrepancy

3 stories got only correct guesses:
- A Man of Peace (3)
- Promises and Promissory Notes (4, one of 2 stories with 4 correct. The other was Silver Apples of the Moon.)

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.

It's such a good feeling to do some reveals,
It's such a happy feeling to ...something that rhymes with reveals.
And when you read the reveals you'll say,
"I didn't know they wrote that!" today!
( Here there be reveals )
Thanks so much for the newbies coming out to do the fest, and to all the old timers here in the salt mines. I watched some HL on DVD this holiday break, and Duncan's hair notwithstanding, that show still rocks.

I'll be back when the year is through,
And I'll have more ShortCuts for you,
puts on shoes and sweater
And you'll have things you'll want to write about,
I. Will. Too. (Maybe.)

amand_r

Thanks for being patient this year! Our guessing scoring goes as follows:

Lady Silver: 2
Hafital: 2
Killa: 5
Diana: 8

Diana, I don't know how you do it.
