HiH Holiday Exchange - Gift Round-Up And Final Words!
Art by Ayne
Well, this is it, folks - the last post from me about the HiH Holiday Exchange! :) I hope everyone has had a good time participating, and I hope that everyone has enjoyed the gift that came up for them. Thank you to everyone for everything you've done to make the Exchange a success (or what I think was a success, lol). And extra special thanks to our wonderful pinch hitters (you know who you are!) for stepping in at the last minute and creating some fabulous gifts for their fellow HiHers. ♥
As far as I know, everyone who signed up to participate (even those who had to back out before the deadline) now has a gift for them here at hh_sugarquill! If for some reason you signed up but did not receive a gift, please PM me and we'll fix that right up. I don't think this is the case - I've been pretty diligent - but you never know what will slip through the cracks.
And now, something that will hopefully make it easier to find both your gift and other gifts you might want to see - an alphabetized (by recipient) list of all the fics and art created in this year's HiH Holiday Exchange. :)

[if there are any problems with this list - wrong links or names or something - let me know!]
There is a huge variety of pairings and ratings here - something for everyone, if you ask me! So definitely take the time to peruse the list and check out the hard work everyone's put in for the exchange. I sincerely hope everyone had fun participating and liked the gift they received in return!
I've also noticed that there are a good few of you (I know who you are~) who haven't yet commented on your gift. I'm hoping this just means you hadn't noticed it was posted yet, and that you'll immediately run off and do so now! :) Even if your gift isn't exactly what you were hoping for, please keep in mind that someone worked very hard and put a lot of thought into making something for you. At the risk of sounding like your parents, it's incredibly rude not to at least say thank you for a gift you've been given. So pop by your gift and show some love for the person who's worked hard for you this holiday!
And with that, I think this is the last you'll hear from me on this year's HiH Holiday Exchange! Thank you again to everyone who worked hard and put together some fantastic holiday gifts for their fellow HiHers. :D I hope you all had fun!
Happy holidays, everyone. ♥
