Hope my friendslist is the right place. *wink*

This is mostly aimed at people participating in go_exchange but I'm also interested in hearing from anybody who's done any kind of sekrit-santa type anonymous fic/art exchange...

waxbean and I were discussing the way there's always a lot of guessing going on in private and semi-private (and we of course are not eligible to play this game), and we were wondering about hosting a post just for that purpose, right before the Big Reveal, and then we can all laugh about how spot-on or dead-wrong the guesses are.

BUT...is this idea utterly booby-trapped with potential for hurt feelings and wank that I'm missing? Wouldn't be the first time I puttered obliviously past a Red Flag.

What do y'all think?

Sounds like it would be fun (and there's potential for hurt feelings and wank in anything... don't let that stop you).

I personally am absolutely miserable at guessing identities in these things, so I wouldn't ever participate, but some folks are quite good and enjoy doing it. :-)

What I think will be fun is seeing how many pieces I thought were screamingly obvious that will turn out to stump people. There might be some, you never know.

Good point about the wank. It seems to me it's not the things you worry about generating wank that do it -- it springs out of some totally unexpected, innocuous-seeming source.
