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?
