Blind_go guessing yadda yadda yadda

[flonnebonne]

So I'm making my way through the fics that were submitted to 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.

Dude, I am probably going to the be the one flailing to make quota. I didn't think people would actually do it. Ah well, I'm supposed to be going blind anyway because I constantly sleep with my hair wet (Chinese supersition, yeeha!).

I had a holiday yesterday so I managed to read more than half the stories, but then my parents called and I had to chat with them for FIVE HOURS so I got stalled. Now I have to go to work again...boo hoo! But at least I don't have any other fandom obligations.

Oh, don't take that superstition seriously; there's a version that says your hair won't grow longer when you do that. (See me squee for Love Mode! Kiichi-sensei love.) It might explain why my vision's not so good though. >_> No, mother, I will be blind for not being superstitious and not posting about the pain of blind_go! *flails*

I've saved them all and now I will be reading them much, much later, in between my protestations of grief for the baduk fic that never came to pass.
