Re: Disappointments

I’d say they’re different authors. The Last Leaf fic has a disclaimer and research footnotes, but the Transients in Arcadia one just has what looks like the entire prompt pasted at the top. The prose similarities are probably due to both being O. Henry fic.

They have the exact same formatting for the A/N at the top: bolded "Request(s):" followed by a C&P of the recip's request, followed by "Disclaimer: I do not own these characters and make no profit by them."

When I search for "and make no profit by them" under Search Within Results in the full Yuletide collection, I get exactly one author who's used it in Yuletide before: fawatson. She's used that exact disclaimer statement 29 times, in fact. Nobody else has used it even once.

I think the lack of references on the other one is just because she didn't have any -- it's a much shorter work and doesn't reference any historical events.

Recip looks like a Yuletide newbie. 50-50 on the response.

Oops, I missed the disclaimer on the Arcadia fic.

cyrt I'm glad you did -- if you hadn't, I wouldn't have gone digging into it further and discovered who it was!

I know the Watsons have been here before. We'll know they still are if the disclaimers suddenly get re-worded. :D

Oh my god, of course it's one of the Watsons. What would Mary Renault think?
