THE REVEAL!

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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

And now... drum roll please!

Number Game Ficathon Fall 2009 Masterlist

Wow, that's a mouthful, isn't it? Anyway, sorry to keep everyone waiting for the masterlist. We've been neglecting our modly duties lately.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this event. The turnout was a bit less than last year's... out of the fifty-seven or so who asked for pairings, nineteen fics were produced. But that's okay! It was still a lot of fun.

Remember to go through and leave many lovely comments on the fics!

And also, we are still accepting entries, for all you stragglers. :)

THE BIG REVEAL!

At last, the moment for which you've all been waiting with crossed fingers and bated breath: THE BIG REVEAL - huzzah! We'd like to take a moment just to thank you all for your participation this round; it was a lot rougher than last year, true, but when all was said and done, we still had quite a bit of fun. (We're even rhyming, see?)

Since THE BIG REVEAL is now up, feel free to post your stories on your own journals, etc. And make sure you comment, if you haven't already, on the gift written for you! But don't stop there! Everyone (especially our fantastic pinch-hitters; thanks again, ladies and gentleman!) worked very hard to create high-quality gifts. So go forth and COMMENT, and give 'em the love they deserve.

Any feedback for us, too, about how we ran this round, etc., is always much appreciated.

But enough of us! We present to you... THE MASTERLIST! (So go see if your guesses were right. :D)

Prompt: one by one
Rating: PG
Word Count: 650 words
Summary: “You look a bit nervous, Ron.” Colin smiled and gently removed Ron’s thumb from his mouth.

Ron went slightly pink and prayed he didn’t get even redder. “Me? Aw, no. I wasn’t nervous. Just fidgety is all. They aren’t the same thing, mate.”

Author's Notes: Hmmm...I know the prompt seems like a strange fit, but think barriers. Ron and barriers.
