Ok, I’ll go next. I’m really clueless about most of these, but my (hopefully) slam-dunk guess goes to Khamanna for “Average Joe”. Maybe Anthony for “ F—- Off, Aliens”? Michael Yu for “Bow and Arrow” and possibly John Statts for “Somebody Help Philip”. Those are mostly wild guesses but eagerly anticipating the “reveals”! |

I have no idea anymore. I don't even know mine I know one and not because of his writing style but more of his review I'm gonna play Sherlock Holmes on Fuck off Aliens. I was wondering why it had 23 reviews and the next had 15 PK had made a surprise appearance 3 times on this script... Defending the parameters that many writers including myself missed.. so obviously he wrote it BUT WAIT! he never entered, he might have reviewed one more I'm not sure. Just maybe he was asked to explain the parameters by another writer... I'm just kidding with you. Don't take it serious Libby was also an advocate for this script, I'm guessing one of her favs... so she must have wrote it... But she didn't' enter either So who wrote it?????? Well after probably being annoyed that fellow writers couldn't figure out the parameters. His review contained this : I have just finished reading "Still Life" and the superpower fails to save the world in that one too, but I didn't see anyone complain about it in that thread. Sorry Matthew If it isn't you I would be surprised !!! I've been doing these things for 10 years, trust me I've had my ass handed to me plenty of times. and made the odd comment in my own reviews |

From comments: Michael Yu - Advance Man Coastal Mainer - Psyche Ward
Thank you, Kathy, for attributing Average Joe to me. I wish! |

Mark, I think you might be onto something there with all that Sherlock deduction. Definitely a Brit wrote Aliens, I'd stake something big on that. I did at first think Ant, but now I'm swayed otherwise.
Lots of new writers which is great to see and most got involved in the reading and reviewing. I hope they stick around. I'm going to investigate further before making anymore guesses... |

Yes, I want to know also! My guesses were obviously just stabs in the dark. |

Tell-tale signs, UK v US spellings, ways in which some writers intro characters, add commas, use bold headings, fancy title pages. Some writers we know lean towards certain genres. Kathy, we know the genre you love. And Kham will more often than not feature children as characters. Rob writes quirky characters, John and Mark veer towards noir or SciFi... Hmm, but comedy too. So, see? It's easy. Actually it's not. Added point of difficulty is all the Newbs in the mix. |
