A great contest with some truly amazing stories from our amazing authors.

What a great group of authors!  Now we know why all the stories were so good, and the decision to pick so difficult.  Thanks to all of you.  Thanks also to Cia and those who made this SA Anthology work.  Next year also?  Awesome!

I'm flattered that the readers thought my story was written by two very accomplished authors: @Mancunian and @Cole Matthews.  

Btw, I'll probably write more reviews, but I was afraid that if I wrote a review for every story except my own that would be a very glaring giveaway.  For an observant reader it would be like erecting a flashing neon sign that said, 'I wrote this one!'  

1 of 10 correct guesses   

I did vote for the story I guessed correctly (Mikiesboy  )  I should get  bonus points for that, right     

Thanks to all authors  This was so much fun! A  new one for Christmas??!!

I saw that Valkyrie wrote a review of her own story   Something with pitchforks lol.. 

Thank you to Cia and all of the Site Admin team for a great contest, I'm looking forward to many repeats in the future. 

A special thank you to all of the authors, and their teams, for the stories they have written. You all did an excellent job and provided us with high-quality reading. You made it easy for us to enjoy and very difficult to guess who wrote what. Thank you for sharing your talent.

I wouldn't worry I only guessed 1 correctly.

Well, not sure what’s happening, maybe it’s just my mobile but I can’t see the reveal 😫😫😫. Will have to check from my laptop when it’s not 3:30a

Yes, same concern. Also adding comments. I did not do that later on.

Yes, same problem. Had to switch to a computer.

Ugh. *throws covers off*

Got 3 right (5 if you consider that like @Valkyrie, I was interchanging my guesses for 10/11)

Not quite the passing grade I was hoping for, but it’s fun to see the names revealed!

I couldn't either. I had to change my phone's setting to desktop view and then it showed. Not sure why it happens. Probably something some evil programmer decided to code just to mess with us.

You could be like @astone2292 who gave himself a 4 star review 😂😂😂 with critique and everything 

I really enjoyed the contest and thank all the other secret authors for their willingness to contribute. It was fun writing in a different genre, too.

I considered it an itty-bitty hint. Give out some 5's, then be a little harsh on myself. That, and I wanted to see if I could leave a review on my own stinkin' story... and it worked!

And so all is revealed! I didn’t guess because I honestly had no idea for most of them. 

Thank you Cia for running a fun event. I was glad to be part of it.

That review is why I didn't think he wrote that story

A trick to remember in the future!

It was a fun sort of side-project to jump into. I wish I had more time to flesh out my story a bit better.  Now that it is back in my hands, I'll see if I can squeeze it into my schedule a bit. 

I had the same idea that @astone2292 had, but decided against it, thinking it was too cheeky and dastardly. I won't make that mistake again, I'll see you next go.
