ONLAYFORLU 2014 REVEALS
MASTERLIST REVEALS
Hello there!
onlayforlu's first fanfiction exchange has finally ended. Congratulations to everyone! It's been a long struggle to finish this event, but thanks to all our participants and pinch-hitters, we've finally completed the exchange successfully.
Also, we would like to thank the readers. Your enthusiastic responses were very welcomed. Your cheering and love are like melted chocolate fused in honey. Please feel free to leave more cheering for the fics by leaving comments and/or gifs.
A big round of hugs and fervent thanks goes to kojafras, seekingsugar, atharaigas, sardothien, ukexing, onyu and anonymous for stepping in to save the day when we hit some unexpected roadblocks. Especially atharaigas, who ended up writing 4 fics for us, including her assigned recipient.
And now, onto the individual mod notes!
MOD NOTES:
finally, we are here together at the finish line. /wipes a proud tear away :')
being the first exchange i'd ever run, i didn't expect it to be this much investment, but man does fandom really take it out of you LOL orz but you guys, with all your encouragements and tweets and retweets helping us out there and the kindness we've received from the other exchange mods, you really made it special for me. so, thanks. :')
to my beloved co-mod, without whom i probably would've self-destructed and taken this exchange down with me, thank you for being the calming presence i needed to keep moving forward. :') your experience with previous exchanges really helped, and your overall kindness to offer up your services to help me mod was a great gift indeed, esp during the times when i was literally too swamped by school/work obligations to take care of things. thank you so much for dealing with me and my flakiness :'''')
to you, my dear participants, i do hope the exchange was an enjoyable experience, and thank you for your hard work. with the departure of one half of our beloved pairing, i have doubts that we'll be able to continue the exchange for another round. but regardless of whether we continue or not, i hope you can continue supporting both zhang yixing and lu han in their future endeavors in whatever capacity it may be, exo member or not.
here's to all of you ♡

We've finally come to the end of Onlayforlu exchange.
The process had been long, stressful and filled with last minute errors. Despite that, you are still here with us, celebrating the LayHan Brotp/Romance. Without everyone's help, including the writers, the readers and pinch-hitters, there wouldn't have been a need for Onlayforlu. So, thank you all for making this exchange happen.
ventice, it hadn't been easy with all the drama piling up and Real Life interfering, but I admit it had still been fun to pitch ideas and work together with you on this exchange. Thank you, bb, for creating the opportunity to gather this many layhan fans.
Cheers!
Mod C (tyreling)

We've prepared a little gift for our participants, including the pinch-hitters. Hope you like them.
