I'd also like to honour our Guessing Champion argyleheir!

Comments

[celandineb.livejournal.com]

I just want to say that as a reader-only and not a participant (being nervous about writing in this fandom since I've read so many excellent fics in it), I very much enjoyed reading the fic and seeing the art -- I didn't have time to read/look at everything, and confess that I didn't always comment either, but it was really a great exchange from my perspective. Three cheers for the hard-working mods, those who stepped up to pinch-hit, and all who contributed!

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

The importance of good readers/viewers simply can't be overstated! Every comment matters too, and thanks so much for being such an enthusiastic participant in your way!

that doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying to tempt you to write someday, though.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

And on a personal note, a huge THANK YOU again to apple_pi for the beautiful story.

And massive THANK YOU to my fabulous beta readers, use_theforce_em ("Tree of Knowledge"), and waxbean ("Rarified Air")!

[use-theforce-em.livejournal.com]

Thank you for letting me beta! Because, serioiusly, that was way too much fun. :D

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much to all the mods...and to villainny, who not only beta'd for me, but also wrote my wonderful story and KEPT IT A SECRET!

[blueeyedtigress.livejournal.com]

Wow! It's somehow fresh and new all over again, seeing the names beside everything!

Thank you so much to sarahsan for my comic! We need to see more of your work, please!

And nettle_mooneye, I haven't forgotten waht I said about your "Candlelight" -- it really would make a lovely poster, and I'd buy one! ;]

Now I need to re-read/re-view everything, knowing who created each! *Whee*!

Thank you so much to everyone who modded, created, and beta'd. Simply wonderful, everyone!!! ;D

[quantum-witch.livejournal.com]

*Nudge* Told ya it was sarahsan ;)

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

OH YEAH. I guessed one nobody else did! Whoo!

Thank you, refche, that lj was AWESOME.

[kyraille.livejournal.com]

emjay! I never would have guessed, because your style with portraits is so distinctive. Sneaky. I love it, so pretty.

And a really tremendous thank-you to the mods, this must have been so much work to organize.

[quantum-witch.livejournal.com]

Eee! I was leaning toward use_the_force_em as the writer of my giftfic! Eee! I loved it then, and I love it even more now! :D:D:D:D Girl, you rocked my mind!

[use-theforce-em.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Well, you deserved every word of it! I'm only glad that you enjoyed it so much, seeing as I get so much enjoyment from viewing your artwork all the time. It seems only fair. ;D

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Such a wonderful exchange! I'm still deeply immersed in the reading; so many of these stories deserve far more than the quick read that the glut of Christmas exchanges tends to promote. And I'm so behind on my commenting!

Thank you for putting in all the organisational effort, vulgarweed, waxbean, linnpuzzle & sanomi !

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

We had so many rich and long stories this year, which is always delightful to see in an exchange with a tight deadline. Thanks so much for your reading, and please continue - I like to think this place is an archive in its own right, I don't like to see it forgotten by mid-January.

[runcible.livejournal.com]

ZOMG. Thank you so so much, bethbethbeth!! I LOVED my story. :x

And thank you to you mods for setting this up. This has been great. :)

[musegaarid.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yay! My present was from meredydd! :D

I know I asked for something unusual and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your being willing to try it. It's tough to write outside the accepted pairing, but you managed perfectly and I really did love it. It tugged so beautifully and I aspire to reach your level of description someday.

Thank you so, so much!

[meredydd.livejournal.com]

*blushes furiously* I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)

[melandry.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I was correct in my suspicions! Thanks, quantum_witch!

[quantum-witch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was pretty obvious. And sadly, very rushed. It was a pinch-hit prompt and I really didn't have enough time to make it as good as I wanted :( But, now that I've got those two down on paper... they're going to get drawn again :)

[mangy-mongrel.livejournal.com]

Oh sarahsan, you lovely pinch hitter you! *snuggles*

[sarahsan]

*snuggles back* I am sorry it was a bit of a rush job, dear...but judging from the ficbunny-spawning that picture has already been responsible for, I have a hard time believing this is the last we've heard of A&C at the Weasleys'...

Hope you had an amazing Christmas, and here's wishing you much more amazingness all this year!!

[andremeese.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, maelipstick!!! I still love it, and I can't wait to see the rest of it. ;)

Thank you, meredydd for being my beta and my friend and the best damned person I've ever known. *GLOMP* My fic couldn't have happened without you!

And to the incredible mods, you are my HEROES. Thank you so much! I look forward to another incredible year!

[maelipstick.livejournal.com]

Oh no, thank you for being so nice about it being unfinished. Incidentally, Part two is now up at lower_tadfield. I'm so glad you liked it.

[meredydd.livejournal.com]

*happy dance* Thank you, aviss! The story was so well written, the characters so spot on... *more happy dancing*

[waxbean.livejournal.com]

A huge public thank you to vulgarweed for the absolutely delightful and highly smutilicious fic, "Tree of Knowledge." I loved it. Adam/Adam and Adam/Aziraphale/Crowley - in one fic! Brilliant!!!!

And some of the imagery in your story still sort of creeps up on me... especially the scene of the two Adams in the tree - that was both eerie and HOT.

xoxoxoxoM

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Aw, bless. I really enjoyed writing that, intensely. You were my enabler/encourager to new levels of pornitude! I'm so glad you love it so much, that's more gratifying than you can know.

Yeah, that one sticks with me too. :D <3

[sanomi.livejournal.com]

Wow, there were so many fantastic gifts this year! I wanted to thank dreya_uberwald for writing a really wonderful fic for me. :D I know Horsepeople aren't easy to write.

And thanks to waxbean, linnpuzzle and vulgarweed for being greats mods-- and more thanks for writing some wonderfully smutty fics and beautifully funny art! ^_^

The holiday season wouldn't have been anywhere near as cool without you guys!

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

And thank you for joining us! And for your lovely art!

[sarahsan]

quantum_witch, I KNEW IT WAS YOU!! *glomp*

Love...is just not strong enough a word for what I feel towards your gift to me. I was pimping it all month, including to people who had NO idea what the heck I was talking about. It was worth a twenty-second synopsis of the book just to get them to understand the gist of the pic. XD

Thank you from now til next year. And beyond. I am pretty sure I pulled something laughing.

To the other writers/artists/inmates: you all ROCK. I have never encountered such a high-quality collection of fanworks in all the time I've been in fandoms. I still haven't finished reading/viewing everything yet, but all I've seen is just incredible. Thank you for a PERFECT Christmas season.

And to the mods, you wonderful, beautiful, and quite possibly insane people--I just want you to know what a joy and honor it was to be a part of this exchange. It made my year, truly. Your time and hard work are appreciated more than I can say. Here's to a fabulous 2006, and looking forward to a spectacular 2007 (am I scaring you yet?? :D).

[quantum-witch.livejournal.com]

Aw, I even tried a different style ;) That's my ultra-simplistic cartoony style that hasn't hit the GO fandom before. I'm so glad you liked it. The prompt just leapt at me and forced the picture. I enjoyed doing it :)

This fandom has some of the most open-ended possiblities, compared to many others, doesn't it? Considering the sort of characters and their abilities, it's a wonder our brains don't explode with all the ideas :D

[such_heights]

Thank you so much, mods, this has been a blast and I really appreciated the notification emails etc. I am once again amazed by the amount of work people put into this.

And also an enormous thank you to musegaarid for bringing much, much holiday joy with her fic for me. =D

[musegaarid.livejournal.com]

*blush* It was fun. ;) Thanks for a great prompt!

[linnpuzzle.livejournal.com]

You'd think that being a mod would mean that I'd figure this out, but no... sanomi! I should've known it was your style, since I kind of squeed over your Crowley a couple of times, but for some reason I couldn't. It's gorgeous as hell, and I hope you'll draw more in the future.

Thank you so much, it was a beautiful present. Much better than what I had expected. :D

[lady-oneiros.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much vibishan for my gift fic! I shall have to send you an email filled with squees.

And a BIG thank you to the mods! You all did wonderful jobs hosting the exchange, not to mention creating gifts of your own. My own procrastinator self dies a little at that thought. ^_^ I had a blast this year, and I can't wait until next year, though I'm sure you all will enjoy the break!

[daughtersofisis.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness, moonytoes! I think I mentioned that I love you a while back, but HEY I LOVE YOU! And thank you so much for my gift, which was perfect, and which I have been bragging about in a really annoying way since I got it. (I would ask if I've seen you around remusxsirius, but with that username, I probably know the answer. ^_^)

[waxbean.livejournal.com]

thank you for your awesome novella, DoI! It was so wonderful to read!

[argyleheir.livejournal.com]

A ginormous thank you to linnpuzzle! I just adore my gift art. As I mentioned before, it's more than I could've hoped for: Crowley, Aziraphale, and The Plants are utterly utter.

And I actually guessed some of the participants correctly? Yeesh. I really thought I was being rather obtuse about it...

[reflectedeve.livejournal.com]

Eee, thank you so much for my gift! :) I love it so very much. It's so completely gorgeous . . . the imagery and mood are so evocative, not to mention the historical setting, which was everything I could have hoped for. And the GO-style footnotes! You're rather brilliant, you know.

[dreya-uberwald.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much to htebazytook for such a wonderful gift, it was a true delight to read.

Also, lots of thanks to the mods for organising this years go_exchange. It must have been a lot of work for all four of you.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

It was, but it's well worth it! :D

[maelipstick.livejournal.com]

linnpuzzle can I just say that I cannot think of anything I have done in the past year that made me worthy of your amazing gift. I know I squeed loudly at the time and let me do so again. It was absolutely amazing. I adore sulky Crowley, and having him and the beautiful wintry background was amazing.

Also, I can't believe you did that and modded as well. Wow. So much love. And so much love to waxbean [Unknown site tag] sanomi for making this all happen too. Thank you guys.

[maelipstick.livejournal.com]

And vulgarweed Damn my HTML.

[magicicada.livejournal.com]

Wow! I have so much reading to look forward to. Many thanks to everyone who made this exchange possible.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

There's SO much good stuff this year. I think you'll have a really good time. :)
