Interesting.

It's interesting that ease of author identification is not just a function of how long I've been reading their posts on TPF and before. I've been read...

If @"Paul" hadn't commented on Amnesis in the way he did, I'd now say that might be him. "The kind of thing I'd write" or something like that. On the ...

:zip:

Definitely the Christmas that was Not.

On the basis of the balls and urine, maybe. But no, Hanover wrote the Christmastime Valentine's Day one, of that I'm as sure as sure can be.

Actually I'm feeling almost convinced by this.

I'm joking. I have my suspicions but I'd rather not say.

praxis

I know. I wanted to point it out to others :smile:

Just want to point out that I changed my 180 guess to "Felice" and completely disavow my earlier stupid guess.

:zip:

Yes, I'm changing my guess for "Felice". Reckon it was 180 Proof.

I nominate Michael.

@"Baden" Not to mention that faulty word counting machine you had to use.

Hope you enter next time Jack.

Yeah, it was actually well-written and fun for what it was. More the fault of the system as you say.

Yes indeed.

Ah, so @"Tobias" entered a story. "Felice", maybe.

Wow, Paul too :grin:

I don't want to take this thread off-topic, but I just want to say that this is a beautiful review of one of my favourite books, though I totally disa...

Yes, I'm discombobulated.

In any case, the suspense is killing me.

I wouldn't be so sure :grin:

Now I'm thinking "Amnesis" was Caldwell and she was just throwing me off the scent before, at the same time as being self-critical.

For a long time I thought "A Cross for Maria" was by Noble Dust, but now I know the truth.

Yeah, except for three or four it's more difficult than I expected.

Only Baden knows the authors, so he'll probably post a list when he's back later.

By the way, thanks to @"Baden" for running it again. It's been a lot of fun and it's made my first foray into fiction a very pleasant experience.

I took that to be a stylistic choice, perhaps for comic effect. I didn't comment on it because I couldn't quite get my head around it. Stew, I believe...

I still think 180 wrote Oscar, because I think he wanted to write something completely different from last time, and the style is unique, like 180, an...

Outlander, john27, and Athena were posting comments about the competition, so maybe they were authors.

Good point. 180 is clearly much, much older than that.

Plot twist: Plum Pie was the latest Marco sockpuppet.

Or am I? :joke:

I'm sticking with @"Michael" for "The Ballad of Marco" Now I'm confused. I'm not falling for it though.

Same here. I'll say Benkei.

It's really interesting, the way other people read things. Interesting, but wrong :wink:

Anyway, now you know it wasn't me, but I won't give any more away about which one was mine.

Also the style looked the same as gmba's previous entry.

:lol: I reckon he was trying to throw people off with that. But as it went along it became Hungarian, as I recall.

There's one mistake as far as I can recall ("the bailiff rose from his seat" then "It unfurled a scroll, and its voice boomed.") but otherwise looks g...

With "Amnesis", I'm going partly by circumstantial evidence. Wayfarer said he had been writing a science fiction novel, and said he might enter the co...

:grin:

"The Key": Another author I can't identify, but I'll guess Caldwell

I didn't read it as nihilistic. "The Christmas That Was Not": disagree. My guess is @"god must be atheist"

I won’t yet reveal my guesses for the others I’m sure of, but here are some I’m not sure of: “Amnesis”: Wayfarer “Felice”: really not sure. Praxis? I ...

Time will tell…

You’re implying some kind of shadowy conspiracy? :wink:

Interesting. I voted for that one, but I’m sure the author is @"Noble Dust", although I wasn’t sure for a long time.
