Oops. I only just saw this. I apologize. I've stopped posting authors' names in advance in order to protect the identity and reputation of those unfortunate souls who sign up and then get railroaded by real life so they can't get a story to me. This way, only they and I know who they are, which makes it more likely that if they "fall down on the job" this time around, they'll be more likely to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and try again in the future. Public embarrassment would kind of work against that. (Inside) -- Fic Recon

What I can do, though, if there's interest, is post a list of authors' names at the very end (before the official reveal) and give everybody a day or so to play the matching game before I let the cat out of the bag. Is there any interest in that idea?

That sounds good to me if we're trying not to embarrass authors who find they can't participate. I just found that it was a lot of fun to try to guess the authors while the stories are being posted. (NT) -- Me, 19:43:24 06/11/08 Wed
