Guess the Writer/Artist

[mizface.livejournal.com]

Okay, so first things fist - I love playing guessing games, even though I am really, really terrible about it when it comes to fic writers, and somewhat slightly better on artists (my art degree has to come in handy somewhere). Still, it’s fun to try (and to see if anyone guesses what I created), and I am all about FUN! And you are too, right? Right!

So leave a comment with your guesses. There will be a prize for the person who guesses the most authors/artists correctly. I will even supply it, fic or art, winner’s choice (which is maybe an enticement, maybe not, but hey, there you go).

And don't forget to leave recs at the rec-as-you-read post!

Yay!
