Blind_go guessing yadda yadda yadda

So I'm making my way through the fics that were submitted to [community profile] blind_go, and the going is pretty slow because I don't want to go blind from all the shiny awesomeness I'm reading. Seriously, what were all of you people on? That is some damn fine writing over there.

But trying to guess who wrote what is making my head hurt.

I have a notepad file where I'm recording my guesses and observations, except that not a lot of guessing or observing is going on. It's full of stuff like, "such and such fic uses present tense and AND ROCKS MY WORLD and I kind of think it might be so-and-so blah I dunno who it is." I honestly suck at identifying writing styles, especially at the micro-level. Like looking at commas and spelling and tedious stuff like that. Usually I just go with my gut feeling, especially when I'm too lazy to look closer.

In conclusion, when I win the prize for least number of correct guesses, I can say I told you so.

Also, if you participated in blind_go it is obligatory that you make at least five aftermath posts (five...go...you know). Anyone who doesn't do so will go blind.

Damn, I still haven't made my quota of five aftermath posts. *flails* I'm going to go blind, mother, and I have no Shindou to support me in my blindness!

I'm going blind from the shininess of those brilliant stories anyway, so I guess it's going to be a natural progression. *_*

You've started? I should too, except so many delayed fandom obligations are rearing their heads, all at the same time. >_> Blind_go ate my life! I'm merely hoping I get ONE guess right, and it's annoying how some people keep hinting, "Oh, you're definitely so-and-so, I can tell by your story" and I. Just. Can't. See. What Great Shiny Clue They See.

Five aftermath posts? Let's see...I have two. Three more then! :3

I started a list and tried to go through by elimination, but it's not working very well. So far, I haven't figured out anyone's yet! I'll be very sad if I end up not being able to guess any. ;_;

So no, you won't be the one with the least number of correct guesses!!

1. i'm bookmarking blind_go, i'm so excited!
2. ahahaah, you know, um. present tense is basically my factory reset mode. it is freakishly difficult for me to write past tense. and then i read meta where people are like, "i can't read present tense it's just too weird!" and i feel suddenly bad. :(
