Woohoo! It's what all of you have been waiting for! That's right, the grand reveal of... just the author's names. That's right, we have another game because where's the fun in just TELLING you who wrote your favorite story? Right now there is a 3 way tie between who used the theme in readers' favorite way, but with just 3 votes each, we can do better! Vote here on your favorite use of the Forbidden Knowledge theme.

Now, for your match up fun! I've listed in numerical order, all the authors who took part in this year's event in NO particular order. You might be surprised at some of these names, but maybe not. Maybe it was not Forbidden to YOU, and you figured it all out. Can you figure out which story they match up with, also shared below?

So you don't believe I depicted the list of guesses accurately? 😪 Now I am sad. It took me at least a minute to compile that list.

I can't even bring myself to throw the author names in one hat and the story names in the other and pick one from each, thereby randomly matching them up in some sort of convoluted hodgepodge. 

I know two for sure, only because I wrote one, edited another and have a third fairly educated guess only because another author dropped a me a hint that was a dead giveaway.

Other than that ....

Did you ask AI to throw a random combination? With all respect, it's way too random ....even for AI. Can I have the randomizing script please?

He’s got one wrong, at least, which I count as a great success for the unnamed author….

If he has one wrong, he has to have at least two wrong, at least that's what @Lee Wilson claims.
