Hi Sandystar,

I'm happy to say that most of your suggested themes are already scheduled to be featured here, (although some of them will not have their turn until next year :-)) so stay tuned! But I have to say that the "Five Times..." is a new one! Actually I didn't know it was a "theme"... Is it a big theme?

I wanted to also clarify about Foreign Locations... We have had suggestions for "foreign locations" as well as "travel fics". In your mind, are those two themes the same, similar, or not at all the same? I'm just wondering if they are two quite different themes or if they can be combined...in my (limited?) experience, those two themes are fairly mixed up together for the most part, although I know there are fics that are completely set in a foreign locale without the "travel" part...

And, I wanted to tell you that I appreciate all the recs you left for old themes (all rarepairs! - which, as you know, are rare, and our rec lists desperately needed so many more of them, so yay!). Also, I loved how you coordinated your icons with each theme ^_^ It was a pleasure bookmarking them :-) Thanks!

Well, the "Five Time . . ." fic is kind of a pan-fandom phenomenon I don't know if I'd really call it a theme but it is a very common story structure. I guess that travel fics are really a subgroup of foreign locations fic, I mean if you had a story about Fleur in France or Viktor in Bulgaria it's not really a travel fic, but yes I'm sure there's a lot of overlap.

Thanks for the wonderful community, you guys are really doing a great job here :)
