Half Moon Rising Fic Jumble Awards
When we first thought of the Fic Jumble format for our first Metamorfic_Moon writing activity, we anticipated some unique fics. The creativity, effort, and quality exhibited here greatly exceeded our high expectations. We'd like to recognize those authors whose work really stood out as outstanding. It was tough to choose, but in the end we settled on sixteen categories with a first place winner and runner-up for each.

We've made banners for each of you; feel free to post them on your profiles, or within your fics, or wherever you please. You should each be very proud of your work.
Very many thanks once again to everyone who participated (both writers and reviewers) in the Jumble. It’s been a fantastic month for R/T fic (over forty full-fledged fics written within a month!), and every participant has made a valuable contribution to that. We hope that you are inspired to do more of the same in our upcoming community events, look for Christmas fun, another Jumble in the New Year, and Remus' birthday celebration on the 10th of March.
