Writing a Review on your own story would be a new level of deception! 

Honestly? I'm such a horrible liar with a guilty conscience, I stayed away from my entry on purpose.  I even had anxiety sweats the few times I did go look at the reviews and comments because all it would take is for someone to look at my profile activity at just the wrong moment to figure me out lmao.

When I do go look at it, I have another tab on the home page that I refresh when I load the story so my profile activity lies.

Pretty sure @Mark Arbour wrote What it Takes for that exact reason   

It does have a touch of @Mark Arbour prolificness, I'll give you that. Good eye. Good eye.

I could very well be wrong in my guess on that one. I'm still not budging from it though. Someone has to stay static. 

Of course, somebody has to be wrong afterall.  IM JOKING!

Dagnabbit, Jeff. Stop giving Bennie more ammunition to dig up. He was a detective in a past life.

I know that's why I purposefully stopped reviewing and giving comments/likes. I have to go back when this is all over and do it all. GOOD LUCK @BendtedWreath!

Yes, but he could also be playing the more complex version of subterfuge and intentionally left one of the random stories untouched as a red herring. 🤔

HAHAHAHA Way ahead of you.

I may have to change some of my completely randomized matches, considering I only had somewhat of a guess on 3. Well, something happened and I know 1.

Depending on how you found out, I'd ask which one... but if you found out because you got it directly from the horse's mouth, maybe don't say which one it was. Feel free to pin Well, That Just Happened on me if need be. I don't mind claiming that one, either.

Well, that something that happened may have been that I miraculously found one of the titles on my laptop. Although I have a pretty good idea on @Inkognito’s based on a comment above.

Doh! What am I saying? Author comments in this thread are to be taken with a grain, no, a pillar, of salt.

Jeff speaks the truth.

I also may have been slightly annoyed that half the stories were immediately drop-kicked to page two or three the moment they went live, missing out on front-page visibility. 

And because I’m as petty as I am funny, and fully aware that a lot of GA readers also browse AwesomeDude, I submitted Grindr there too.

I'll give you a hint, mine was the one written with words, in English. That may or may not contain characters. in situations, with humour.

[lawfulneutralmage]

I am with @BendtedWreath on this one, not enough data for anyone to guess mine. I have left a hint, but that is tenuous.

As for checking what was going on, I did the same as @Jeff Burton, always having a second tab open to quickly change focus thus activity history... we are sad people

If I could put a curse on you, it would be to turn your coffee into decaf.

[lawfulneutralmage]

Not if you have any consideration for those living or working with him!

[lawfulneutralmage]

Tea is a preferable alternative!

Book VI of Falcon Banner series and you've got a deal. Plus you have to put up with more PM's from me in the future about the thing I'm working on.
