I've read a lot of your writing tweets, so I shall try to match style accordingly!

I'm not sure I have a style either, but I will say I wrote this Sissyfus story way outside of my comfort zone, so I'm not sure my tweets will be much help.

That said, I expect to get guessed right away. Not sure why, I just have that feeling.

I'm not sure what will give me away or how people will figure it out (and yeah, feel free to let me know what it was that gave me away), but I expect to get knocked out early this year.

I expect to be guessed early by the same smug alien who pings me every year... I swear she's planted some sort of "chip" on my person somewhere.

KateSmash · Mar 22, 2018

I want to get guessed early. So here's a clue:

Mine is the one about can-can dancers. :e2dance:

Lillian_Blaire · Mar 22, 2018

Wait, wait. SO IS MINE!!

KateSmash · Mar 22, 2018

Can-can dancers are the new Sparkle Goats.

Lillian_Blaire · Mar 22, 2018

I have glittery sheep in mine. Close enough.

KateSmash · Mar 22, 2018

My can-can dancers are actually sparkle goats on top, bush snakes on bottom. :evil

Just send me your story now then. It's a winner.

It's can-can dancers all the way down....

Looks like I'm going to going out to play bridge just as Cobra posts all the lovely story snippets :gaah

Lillian_Blaire · Mar 22, 2018

Gah! I can't wait!

*paces*

AnnieColleen · Mar 22, 2018

I sat down to my lunch break today with a feeling like something’s missing — no laptop, no looming story deadline. So weird!

Lillian_Blaire · Mar 22, 2018

I've been staring at my computer all day, trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be writing. Weird, indeed.

KateSmash · Mar 22, 2018

There are two solstices a year ...

*bounces around impatiently*

Looks like I might have to go out to run errands right around the same time. :/ Hopefully I'll at least get to glance at them!

CobraMisfit · Mar 22, 2018

To be fair and transparent, "Almost There" is most likely "Late Tonight or Tomorrow Depending on Things". Of all the elements that go into the Sisyphus, the Guessing Thread is the most time consuming. BUT, we are close to obtaining clearance to land, so we'll come out of the holding pattern soonish!

Lillian_Blaire · Mar 22, 2018

We appreciate all your hard work and will be ~~patiently~~ waiting.

Seriously though, you’re awesome and we understand these things take time.

paddismac · Mar 22, 2018

Thank you so much Cobra, for all you do for us!! :Hug2:

And thanks for the heads up on the probable timeline! (the bouncing was getting really tiring)
