I like the simplistic voice-- it makes me think that the narrator is either very young, or may actually have a mental incapacity.

Hmmm... There are ten unguessed female authors left, and after re-reading it I still get a female author vibe.

I don't have much more to offer in the way of commentary, but I could see Vana having written this.

We're starting to run so low on female authors that I'm starting to doubt my premises.

I'm gonna guess Mama Squirrel for reasons unknown... I've already critiqued it a LOT. But... I may not have mentioned that I like the simplistic forms of the sentences. So I'll put that out there. (too lazy to check whether she did or not...)

Folks, you need to pick this up. My sole remaining grandparent just went into hospice, and it would be entirely too depressing to have to break this same round for a second funeral.

At this point, how about just announcing the author and moving on to the next one? I don't think it would really be fair to award points to the person who randomly picks the name from the list of people who haven't yet been guessed.

The last person I could see writing this would be Slash. Based on that, I'm guessing Slash.

Hmmm... I've been keeping track of the guesses in a spreadsheet, so I'm reasonably certain of my counting. I may be confused about someone's sex, though.Males guessed: Males remaining: Females guessed :Females remaining :People who have been guessed whose gender I have not yet determined: People remaining whose gender I have not yet determined:

Ah. The problem was that rivka had Leonide on the "not guessed yet" list, while you (correctly) had her as already guessed. I withdraw my disparagment and award five points. It is indeed Teshi.
