And Tales of the Glories of Kreuzmases Long, Long Ago
Happy New Year! We hope you all enjoyed your respective holidays, and hopefully you've been enjoying all the Kreuzmas goodies posted here!
The exchange portion of our fest is finished, but don't go anywhere, because starting tomorrow, there'll be bonus fic and art coming your way! But before we get to that, we wanted to take a few moments to thank all of you.
To our writers and artists - seriously, you're all awesome! ♥ ♥ It was a joy to have such fabulous participants!
To our readers (and lurkers!) - without you, there'd be little point in having a fest, so thank you for showering our participants with so much love! ♥ ♥ We hope you'll continue to do so, both for entries you may have missed or haven't yet had time to get to, and the bonus round to come.
Also, thanks to everyone who volunteered to pinch hit, but we're actually rather thrilled to say that we didn't need you. Not a single person dropped out. \o/
Participants, please do remember to take a moment to thank the person who wrote/drew for you! (And showing your fellow authors and artists some appreciation for their efforts is always encouraged as well!)
We also want to apologize to those of you who had to re-upload your works to the moderation queue. We still have no idea why your posts disappeared (still no word from LJ support three weeks later) but we're extremely grateful for both your cooperation and your patience!
In the meantime, for your convenience, we've compiled a master list of all of the fic and art posted to date. (We'll do another final list after the bonus round.)
