Guess the doers of darkness!

[dark_administrator]

We have about 100 fanworks and 60 participants who submitted fanworks, including those who pinch-hit and created treats. Some of us are undoubtedly curious about who our assigned doer of darkness is and/or who created a particular fanwork so let's play a game!

Do you have a solid idea -- or any -- who your doer of darkness is? Or who created a particular fanwork? Did their fanwork style give them away? Or have they raised subterfuge to another level and confused us all? Tell us your guesses!

Guesses for dhobikikutti

[dhobikikutti]

Because it will be easier to track if it's threaded...
Anyone who think they know what I've written, comment here! I will say that there is stuff by me in both the full length and the shorter treats collections.

(Alas, I cannot promise drabbles to anyone who guesses correctly since the number of previous unfulfilled writing commitments before me is horrific, but you never know, I might surprise both of us.)

Re: Guesses for dhobikikutti

[azuire]

You wrote Viraha YOU DID.

Re: Guesses for dhobikikutti

[terajk]

I suspect you wrote Softness.

Re: Guesses for dhobikikutti

[esperante]

I'm SO SURE you wrote The God of Small Pictures.

guesses for paperwar!

[littlebutfierce]

I feel like the things I did (I'm paperwar) will be totally obvious (combination of tropes, style, & fandom availability), but if people want to guess, if they are right I will attempt to write you a drabble or a ficlet or something!

I think esmenet did my gift, based on fandom, the fact that she wrote me a ficlet w/the same character before, style, & a couple other things. But! I am often totally wrong about these things, so! (& there is a question of US/non-US spelling complicating my guess as well!)

I don't (yet) have any solid guesses for who did my two Chak De! India treats. Am delighted that there were so many people offering!

(Edit cuz I guess as per everyone else I should make this an official comment thread for me? ^^;;)

Re: guesses for paperwar!

[qem_chibati]

I could be way off, but I'm guessing

5: 名取周一 x 夏目貴志 (Natori Shūichi/Natsume Takashi) | 1,045 words
Empty Pages.: 夏目貴志 (Natsume Takashi), 名取周一 (Natori Shūichii) | 1,415 words

guesses for terajk

[terajk]

If you think you know what I wrote, comment here! A drabble for correct guesses!

I have stuff in the main collection, and also in Treats. :D

Re: guesses for terajk

[littlebutfierce]

Well, of course you are on my suspect list for either of the Chak De! India treats I received, but I was utterly delighted to see how v. many people offered the fandom, so I cannot say for sure. :D

what did I write?

[busaikko]

I'm pretty sure no one will have a clue! *waves*

Re: what did I write?

[mific]

I'm pretty useless at this but I'm guessing "Clouds Reveal the Moon". Er - there's a palace in it? And ghosts!

guesses for troisroyaumes

[troisroyaumes]

Too bad I can't guess since I matched up all the assignments. But feel free to guess me, and if you guess correctly,...well, I will eventually write you a drabble as a prize. (Though admittedly it has often taken me more than a year to fulfill my drabble requests.) ^^;

Guesses for Lihai

[yifu]

I didn't step out of my comfort zone so my fic would be pretty easy to guess. (I think?)

guesses for esotaria

[talibusorabat]

I don't think AO3 has enough of my fandom history for people to make a guess, mwahaha. But a ficlet for you if you guess correctly!

Guesses for toujours_nigel

[toujours_nigel]

Not that it's less than obvious or anything.

Re: Guesses for toujours_nigel

[dhobikikutti]

I think you wrote Tankar.

guesses for starlady

[starlady]

I feel like my contribution (one story, in the main collection) is totally obvious, but. A ficlet to anyone who guesses correctly!

Guesses for redsnake05

[redsnake05]

I am completely stealth. Really.

[seekingferret]

sanguinity already guessed my story, so it's clearly just as obvious as I thought it would be, but others are welcome to guess.

[sanguinity]

*chortles*

Guesses for softestbullet

[wordsatourbacks]

I believe softestbullet made icons for bro'Town, Coffee Prince, จีจ้า ดื้อ สวย ดุ (Jeeja Due Suai Du) (Raging Phoenix), and Little Mosque on the Prairie! My guess is based on how gorgeous those icons are, the fact that those fandoms are the fandoms listed on her AO3 dashboard, and the fact that three of the four fandoms only have one Kaleidoscope work so far and there is an icon set for each of those fandoms! :D

Re: Guesses for softestbullet

[softestbullet]

*ambiguous expression*

Guesses for monanotlisa

[monanotlisa]

Rather easy, I feel, but do give it a shot. I'll make you a three-set of icons! :)

Re: Guesses for monanotlisa

[mific]

Hmmm, I'm terrible at this guessing game. Maybe, Experiments in Writer's Block?

[fresne]

All things considered, not terribly sneaky.

[dhobikikutti]

You know, I know you said you didn't want to request and offer the same fandoms, but I'm really wondering if you wrote the Pin of Bones Gilgamesh one.

[terajk]

I believe sanguinity wrote my fabulous gift!

[sanguinity]

:-)

I figured it was trivial for anyone wondering what I wrote to start from my profile and figure it out that way. I had hoped it would be harder if one was starting with the fic!

[mific]

I'm probably too easy. And I could have phrased that better. Um, there's more than one?

[monanotlisa]

You made the one for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? The Coffee Prince one? :D

Guesses for esmenet

[esmenet]

I was totally subtle and not obvious at all. Really.

Guess for Qem

[qem_chibati]

:D?

sqbr?

[terajk]

Based on the art style, Cindi's adorably badass expression, the focus on messing with gender norms *and* the charm of the overall concept, I guess Well they have to be good for something is sqbr's work.

Re: sqbr?

[sanguinity]

Oh, def sqbr. Also, The key to our future success.

[nh4ever]

I think dhobikikutti wrote "Viraha" because who else merges that many Hindi words into english fic.. o and the title.. :0

[dhobikikutti]

Well, to be fair there are other writers using Hindi in their fics, but yeah, the title was a bit of a givaway. :)

[carmarthen]

I feel like mine was super-duper obvious, heh.

[ambyr]

Juuuust a bit :-). I'll take "the one with footnotes talking about attested names" for five hundred, Alex.
