I assume so that stories have time to gain an audience that has nothing to do with how popular you are.

Is that really it? I thought it would have to do something with the organizers. I guess it makes sense, my brain was just making it more complicated I suppose.

But that doesn't really work because if an author is so ~famous~ in their fandom corner that people will priotize their work over all the other writers', chances are their writing style, their characterization, their favorite tropes etc. will be noticeable enough that people will know which fic is the BNF's anyway.

Yah, most of my readers recognise my style and post something like "I think I know who wrote this" which is half-gratifying, half- "oh dear, I'm predictable".

In the mean time, my best friend and I are continuously mixed up no matter which of our shared fandoms we write in, despite having different favorite characters and pairings in each, as well as different favorite tropes.

But whenever we write something with blinds on the author, invariably, when the reveal is up, many readers will be shocked that I wrote what I wrote and she wrote what she wrote, because they had guessed opposite.

AYRT and I've just been made a liar b/c someone just guessed one of my works as by someone else. Hah.

This really isn't true though.

We do guessing polls and it is very rare that anyone knows who anyone is. There are two writers I can recognise (and everyone does) because they are so different. But even BNF are guessed as some of us new writers.

Depends on the fandom, I suppose.

Then again most of my fandoms are very varied when it comes to ships, so people are only going to read the few fics that have ships they like anyway. No need to hide the authors' names because it's not like there are 30 fics for the same ship by different authors.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-26 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah see, in my fandom there are 30 writers writing the same ship, or more. One of our ship centered fests had a cap of 40 allowed to write for it...and it hit it in the first couple days being allowed to sign up.
