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?

It's all the same to me. I know there are many people who guessed my work instantly ;) And of course if you post a space for guessing, I won't mention that I know which fic was yours, because duuuh. Other than yours and mine, there are probably only three other people whose work I knew right away. Everyone else... I couldn't even begin to guess.

Yes, your work is pretty damn distinctive. I'd know it even if I didn't know it -- right away! :) There are more artists like that than writers like that, I think.

Ah, but guessing the ones you couldn't begin to guess is the fun part!
