THE REVEAL!

[rarepairs_mod]

Here we are, ladies and gentlemen – the Big Reveal! Thank you so much to everyone for your patience and participation. A huge thank you as well to our awesome pinch-hitters! This round was a little bumpy, so we're ever so grateful to you all for bearing with us.

Now that the Big Reveal has been posted, feel free to claim your fics and cross-post them to your own journals. But DON'T FORGET to go and COMMENT on everyone else's fics! We had wonderful entries this year, as always, even though quite a few of you were forced outside of your comfort zones, but unfortunately there haven't been many comments. So go show your fellow participants some love!

If you find any mistakes, please point them out. We would also appreciate any feedback about this round of the exchange in general.


We'd also like to congratulate briony_tallis for having the most correct guesses in our Guess Who Wrote What poll, with five correct guesses. Here's a little something for you -- way to go! :D

Comments

I swear some of the best fics ever in this community came out of this exchange.

Thank you mods for your patience with us all, and most of all for putting this whole thing together.

[purelush.livejournal.com]

Yay! So exciting! Thanks so much for putting this together :D :D

[kellychambliss.livejournal.com]

Great fest; thank you, mods! So many fine stories: I posted some recs here (http://kellychambliss.livejournal.com/77357.html) and here (http://kellychambliss.livejournal.com/73482.html)

[captainpookey.livejournal.com]

Woo-hoo!

Awesome exchange, thanks guys! :)

After all my finals get done with I'll have to go back and read & comment on a lot of the ones I missed, there's been some great stuff here!

[therealsnape.livejournal.com]

Wonderful fest, thank you for modding!

[cranky--crocus.livejournal.com]

I went to look at the comment I posted on my gift fic and broke out laughing. Oh, ironing. Laughter.

Thank you! :)

[cranky--crocus.livejournal.com]

This fest was excellent! Thank you! I wish I had more time/a laptop available to read and comment on more fic! I'm sure I'll get around to it once everyone has forgotten, unfortunately!

Thank you, mods! This was great fun; I'm glad this fest was my first! ♥

[tetleythesecond]

And I sure hope it won't be your last!

Thank you so, so much, my dear. I love my gift! <3

[cranky--crocus.livejournal.com]

Laughter. Between this and your comment under it, I can't stop blushing. And someday, I may even get it through my thick skull that you could actually like your gift!

You're one of the many prominent, beautiful Internet faces of the Minerva McGonagall club. I was petrified at the idea of writing this story! I didn't have a plotbunny, I had a brainbasilisk! Laughter. Glad it turned out alright in the end. :) Thanks again!

[tetleythesecond]

Thank you, mods, for a great fest! It was fun, and there were a lot of great stories posted. And did I mention that I love my gift?

[restlessme.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for putting this together mods!
Such wonderful writing came out of it.

[bendleshnitz1.livejournal.com]

This is my first time participating in an exchange here.
From last year's exchange reveals list I got two of my new favourite rare pairs and one LJ friend who is awesome. I knew I had to participate this year and I'm very glad I did!

Thank you mods for your patience and reminders and hard work (running an exchange is no easy task, I'm sure). And thanks again to fictitious_burn for my lovely gift :)

[brightflower]

Wow, I seriously can't believe I had the most correct guesses; thanks so much for the beautiful banner! And, of course, for running such a great fest! I realize I still have some catching up to do with reading and commenting, hopefully I'll be able to read everything later on tonight. =)
