Squee Squee and more Squee!!! Many of my favorites are on this list, and as I've about a week's worth of reading to catch up on, so I haven't yet read the last two on your list, but I'm thrilled to know that I have so much to look forward to! Whoopeee! Work, schmerk!

Hee. You're in for a treat!

And we're ALL in for a treat when yours posts--I know it!

I took a sneak peak at your art rec and am still giggling- fabulous!

I hope you like the story, and I really hope my recipient likes it. It certainly fulfills the letter of the prompt, but I have a sinking feeling that it's not quite what she was asking for. And I don't think there will be any mystery about who wrote it :D

I don't know about her, but had you gotten my prompts (and should you ever do so in the future) I'd simply be utterly grateful to the Exchange Gods to have you and happy my prompts inspired you in any way.

Mind you, that's not to say it's good to completely ignore your gifter's wants. I mean, if they ask for threesome, given them threesome. If they don't want a forced situation, don't give them anything that hints at that. But if you have to adapt a prompt somewhat for the purposes of the muse...

And yeah, that art was my favorite--makes me want to blow it up, print it out, and frame it. The list above doesn't exhaust all the stories I enjoyed or art I liked--but the longer a list, the less likelihood someone will check it out--so I thought I'd limit myself.

Obviously, I'm not allowed to have favourites, but it's pleasing to see that you liked so many.

harmony_bites February 17 2009, 18:52:19 UTC

I like more than I listed actually--but those are my personal favorites so far. And I know others that have different favorites. You're doing good :-)

I think the slower pace has allowed people to keep pace better with this round. I'm pleased with the level of reviews.

harmony_bites February 17 2009, 19:04:44 UTC

I think it has helped digest things better. Cuz you know that call for short one-shots? Kinda ignored (and I'm rather happy with that given a lot of my favorites so far)

Most muli-chapters after all even if completed ahead of time are posted over days on archives--giving a fic time to build momentum and for people to read it. So yeah, I think the weekends off to catch up (and loading the longer ones Thursday/Friday) has been a good idea.

And the reviews have been awesome. They seem to be averaging around 70 for a one-shot. Who ever sees that even on FFN?

Hey!

I was wondering if you could go over to TPP and go click on my Winds and Wisdom story to see if an illustration is there. BeaWeasley2 surprised me with it, but she said that she can't see it. So I wanted to know if perhaps, for some reason, my computer is the only one that can see it. A quick way is to go to the featured author part of the site since I'm (surprisingly) there. :)
It would be a favor... if you have the time.

Also...
I'm happy that the exchange has gone so well for you and everyone.

harmony_bites February 18 2009, 17:09:21 UTC

I'd contact the TPP mods--that would make more sense.

The Exchange has been fun.
