CHINGUX 2014 REVEALS
(❁'ㅅ'❁) (─‿‿─) (◕ヮ◕✿) (⊙♡⊙)
Here we are at the end! I want to start by thanking everyone who was involved in this exchange (writers, readers, spectators, cheerleaders) for making it such a success. When we began, I never imagined that
chinguline would hit #1 on Livejournal's top journals of the day multiple times over the course of posting. None of this could have happened without you and your generous participation.
A million thanks goes out to the wonderful pinch hitters that came through in the clutch for us:
markerlimes,
rubyls,
gdgdbaby,
michaelwesten,
yeolie, and
onyu, who wrote extra stories on top of their own assignments;
loudestoflove,
colorfunk,
shykai,
sardothien, and a sweet anon, who signed up specifically to pinch hit and were called upon when dropouts occurred throughout the exchange; and
quid and
cocacola, who hadn't originally signed up to write or pinch hit but still agreed to help out of the kindness of their hearts.
This endeavor started out as a mere idea on Twitter and blossomed into an exchange that churned out 82 stories in 3 months' time. Some stats:
chinguline garnered a whopping total word count of 739,470 words, nearly ¾ of a million. The most written ship of the exchange was actually OT4 (yay!), coming in at 26 stories. In terms of pairings, Chanyeol/D.O appeared in 25 stories, followed by Baekhyun/Chen and Baekhyun/D.O, appearing in 22 and 14 stories respectively.
On a personal note, I want to thank everyone who listened to me groan and cry and freak out as the exchange unfolded. This was a one-mod show and things got pretty stressful here and there, but everything went smoothly thanks to your unending support and endurance (and the occasional hand-holding). Special thanks to R for providing me with essential scaffolding and advice that absolutely contributed to
chinguline's smooth operation behind the scenes. Thanks to the participants for bearing with my sometimes long, often persistent emails and being all-around superstars about getting your stories to me. Finally, thank you to everyone who's been here from the beginning, especially the ones who decided to stick around during developmental hell, aka that period of time in the spring when all I tweeted was stupid TFLN and ASW remixes on the mod account. It's been a long summer, but it's been a blast. So long, and thanks for all the fic!
Without any further ado, here are your summer 2014 CHINGUX writers:

After going to town in the comments here, please consider flipping back through the masterlist and catching up on the stories you missed. Cheers, and happy reading!
