Oh, this is hard! Some of the artists are recognisable but with most of the writers I'm reduced to trying to guess from whether they say colour or color, -ise or -ize, which ain't exactly reliable.

I *think*....
Happily Ever After - JackyMedan
Between Us - Comatosebadger
Space Oddity - mific
Do you think blue is my colour - mekare
The Emerald Queen and her Knight - look_turtles
Equilateral Triangle - ButterflyGhost
This Time, without the Trout - DesireeArmfeldt
....but I'm stuck on the rest!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say I have a sneeeeaaaaking suspicion that the A++ felt Dief design "Hungry Like the Wolf" was made by Wagnetic :)

Ummm, I think Feroxargentea might have written ‘Stallions on the Fly’ and ‘Lionlimb’? Based on the well known “uses dividers” method of detection!

[mekare]

I have no clue honestly, apart from the art (one of which I betaed) but I am not confident enough with the writing styles to guess the writers.

The mods still thank you kindly for your commenting on this post -- we like seeing the discussion being followed.

[feroxargentea]

Well goshdarnit, I need to be more sneaky with the scene breaks, or maybe learn how continuous narrative works ;)

Heh, this reminds me of how one of my dSSS fics got guessed back when I was writing for the dSSS before I became a dSSS mod. At that time I had a distinctive way of writing author notes (a way which I subsequently stopped using).

[feroxargentea]

Notes and tags and regional spelling and punctuation, yup, all helpful *g* And ButterflyGhost and DesireeArmfeldt are just damn fine writers whose work always leaves me envious.

Yuletide is rather harder, with 1500 or so participants, but I did manage to guess one or two, including a couple of old dS fans with distinctive styles. If you've not read Queue's latest, I do recommend it.

Oooh, link me to the Yuletide fic by queue! I've read fic of hers in the past, but not recently. (Also, who else that I would recognize from dS was in this year's Yuletide?)

TYK for any Yuletide recs, 'cause I just find the number of entries overwhelming. (Self-rec too!)

Queue's poem is here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/17103638 (Much Ado About Nothing). I should have kept a note of other dS people but didn't...

As far as C6D goes, there are two Hard Core Logo stories ( https://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2018/tags/Hard%20Core%20Logo%20(1996)/works ), one of which is mine. Also three Longmire, if you count that ( https://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2018/tags/Longmire%20(TV)/works ). I've only read the long one so far but liked it a lot.
