And with this final masterlist, we must say goodbye.

Though we'll keep the account active for as long as we can, rarepair_shorts on dreamwidth and livejournal is coming to a close.

We will no longer be posting any more challenges. But for the years the community has been active, you can still go back and read old posts.

Thank you for everything.
