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!

Ta da! )

Recipient: THE COMMUNITY!
Rating: PG
Author’s Notes: This may be the strangest combination of drabbles ever. xD Luna and Hagrid are the last two characters I’d ever thought I’d write, but when presented with such an opportunity, who am I to turn it down? I hope you enjoy!


Title: Mutual Curiosity
Pairing: Tom/Luna
Word Count: 436
Summary: An unnerving cry – not quite high enough to be piercing – reaches her ears, and a half-mile later she discovers a bird of dark plumage pecking at the carcass of a doe.
Author’s Notes: Ambiguous dark!fic is ambiguous. Also, a different take on the Death Eaters.
Mutual Curiosity )

Title: Discreetly Indiscreet
Pairing: Tom/Hagrid
Word Count: 415
Summary: Yet for all his staring and waiting, he is not at all well-practiced in the art of patience.
Author’s Notes: Isn’t this just a match made in heaven? Thank you for giving me the chance to write something cracky. :) Also, my eternal gratitude to [livejournal.com profile] manu86 who wrote the Guide to Dialects and Accents.

Title: No Vacancy (But I'll Make Room For You)
Pairing: Ginny/Gabrielle

Rating: PG-13ish?
Word Count: 1036
Summary: Poor Molly was forced to make room in her already crowded home for all the guests who had traveled a long way.
Author's Notes: Done for Challenge #2. Finally got my act together and finished this thing, haha. And actually, this came out quite a bit longer than I expected it to.

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)

Accio Masterlist! )

Happy Holidays! ♥

Title: Black Hole
Pairing: James/Bellatrix, with a side of James/Lily
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2517
Summary: After several months, James was able to piece together Sirius’s story. ‘Unfair’ did not even begin to cover it.
Author’s Notes: Thank you to my lovely beta. This is slightly AU; Bella and James are actually nine years apart in age, but for the purposes of this fic I’ve made Bella a seventh-year whilst James is a first-year. This was a wonderful challenge… I hope you enjoy it, [livejournal.com profile] absolutelybatty! Happy holidays! :D

Title: Magnetism
Pairing: Dudley/Romilda, with unrequited Harry/Romilda
Prompt: Challenge #7 - the Dursleys
Rating: PG
Word Count: 825
Summary: Romilda brings a box of coconuts to Harry as a parting gift in his sixth year.
Author's Notes: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] peskywhistpaw for supplying the pairing and the prompt "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts (diddly diddly)". Also done for Challenge #7. I made Romilda act rather like a fangirl, haha... I suppose she'd only be like that around Harry, though. Don't expect anything other than silliness from this.

Title: Trip Like I Do
Pairing: Cedric/Petunia
Prompt: Challenge #7 – the Dursleys
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1165
Summary: Petunia and the acid trip of doom, complete with snogfest and a battle with an alien.
Author's Notes: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] peskywhistpaw and [livejournal.com profile] phil_urich for supplying prompts. :D Title comes from the Crystal Method song of the same name, and there's a reference somewhere in here to the song "Mellow Yellow" by Donovan. If you're wondering where the hell this pairing came from, read the five-part Subliminal Series.

ALSO: This contains crack. And may potentially squick you a wee bit, but only if you forget that this contains crack.

Apologies for the long Author's Notes. ;)

We'd just like to thank everyone once again for participating in this event - it's been a great pleasure! Hopefully you all had tremendous fun with it, even if it was a little challenging. ;)

38 people received a list of seven pairings to work with, and 20 of those people actually followed through - not bad! :D In total, 28 fics were written for this event. Way to go everyone!

Feel free comment with your thoughts on this event; we certainly would appreciate it. :)

Lastly, please remember that everyone worked hard on these fics, so take the time to read and review if you haven't done so already. Thank you! ♥

Accio Masterlist! )

Title: Subliminal
Pairing: Cedric/Petunia
Rating: PG-13, for language and possibly disturbing images
Word Count: 1641
Summary: Petunia has a most curious vision.
Author's Notes: Done for the Number Game Ficathon. This is waayyy longer than I expected it to be; I went over 1500 which I know is where I'm supposed to cap it – but I basically never write 1000-word fics, so I ain't cutting anything! :P Actually, this has snowballed into the five-part Subliminal Series.

I know you're wondering how I made sense of this pairing... :DD

Title: Of Men and Moments
Pairing: Ginny/Rosmerta
Prompt: Challenge #3 - femmeslash
Rating: PGish
Word Count: 148
Summary: During every visit to the Three Broomsticks, Ginny observed the way males, students and adults alike, turned their heads when Rosmerta walked by their tables – the way the color rose in their cheeks, the way their lips parted slightly.
Author's Notes: Done for Challenge #3. I'm not entirely happy with it, but I need to get this justification thing out of my system before I do anything else with this pairing.

Since the official deadline has passed, here is the masterlist of the ficlets and drabbles written for the Spring Wishlist Event! This was great fun for the mods, and we hope it was for you, too!

In total, there were sixteen wishlists and forty-six gifts, and each person had at least one wish granted. That's amazing, everyone, and we want to thank you so much for participating!

We did find, however, that this event didn't quite run as smoothly as our fic exchange did last winter, so we'd appreciate any feedback you might have to offer - we'd like to do this again next year, but we need to know how to improve the event!

If anyone would still like to grant more wishes, you are free to do so; we know that some people didn't get much of a chance to participate because of things happening in real life. Another post will be made in the future, listing any late fics - and this masterlist will be amended, of course!

Also, please remember that everyone worked hard on these ficlets and drabbles, so take the time to read and review! I promise you won't be disappointed!

So without further ado: The Masterlist! )
