You may now take your bows, fangirl/boy openly, thank each other face to face, publicly honour your betas, and repost with glee to the four winds. (But especially to the Good Omens Library.)

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my amazing co-mods, waxbean and vulgarweed and double-thank our pinch-hitters who came through for us by creating such wonderful gifts in an incredibly brief period of time.

I'd also like to honour our ultimate guessing champions, sticktothestory for fic and littlewolfstar for art. Well done, you two!

And for everyone who's still working their way through the bounty, feedback is still appreciated whether the author/artist is anonymous or not...

Stay tuned, everyone, for the stats post, and we'll see you next year!

I'd like to thank my awesome betas, celandineb, musegaarid, and waxbean!

[waxbean.livejournal.com]

you're so welcome, V!

[megkips.livejournal.com]

carnivorusthing this is actually going to sound a bit silly, but I was wondering if I could own the original art for my gift? I mentioned on the comment that it touched a personal chord with me, so that's why I'm asking.

[waxbean.livejournal.com]

I would like to thank my co-mods, vulgarweed and musegaarid. You two were an absolute joy to work with (here, joy is specifically defined as reliable, quick-witted, and slightly demonic!).

argyleheir, thank you so much for writing an absolutely splendid tale for me.

I would also like to thank my two betas: vulgarweed and secret_weapon! You two made my story so much better. Heh, Central London, who knew?

lovingly,
Mary

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Back at you, sweetie. (I think "slightly demonic" is obligatory to pull this off.)

[musegaarid.livejournal.com]

Many thanks go to my co-mods, of course, waxbean and vulgarweed. I know I was the n00b this time around, but you never made me feel that way at all. You were both remarkably patient for all my questions and delays.

Thank you again to oddsbobs and googlebrat. I can't believe how lucky I was to get two amazing fics with such a bizarre pairing. Especially one from the person that I wrote for. ;)

And sooper snuggles to my betas, _serpensortia and amberdiceless. You two know you're the best.

[waxbean.livejournal.com]

I don't think you count as a n00b, seeing as you ran your own Exchange yourself...

lots of love and appreciation,
Mary

[reflectedeve.livejournal.com]

Thanks again for my adorable story, irisbleufic! You made a super santa.

Thanks also to everyone for the incredibly sweet comments on my contribution. You all made my December, which was kind of insane and stressful this year, so very much more pleasant.

[reflectedeve.livejournal.com]

Oh! And obviously, one more enormous thank you to the mods! You guys work so hard, and it's very much appreciated. This was my second year doing go_exchange, and I am so totally coming back for a third. I had so much fun! (And I'm still behind on reading all the fic!)

[littlewolfstar.livejournal.com]

Wow, surprises, surprises!! 8D

Thank you my not-so-secret-anymore authoress caitirin for the great gift! ^_____^ I never would have guessed o-o

Everyone did soo great this year! ♥
CONGRATS ALL! ^-^ And a big thank you to all the mods and their hard work!!!

Lots of new people to stalk pay attention to!! 8D

[littlewolfstar.livejournal.com]

No pseudo_geek, i'm not going to forget to thank you for doing this with me~ ^-^ and disapproving my horrible color choices XD
*snuggles*

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

I want to give my co-mods musegaarid and waxbean public group hugs.

I want to tell dreadpirateandi, I enjoyed the story SO MUCH. Thank you. As my own country drowns in political bukkake this year, I will especially clutch it to my heart again and again.

I want to double and triple thank those who did double-duty (I believe it's the first year that waxbean, musegaarid, and I didn't have to! XD) and those who came in like the Lone Ranger when we needed it most. Thank you, masked human-shaped-beings!

[quantum-witch.livejournal.com]

Political bukkake. I think I just cracked a rib! XD Perfect.

[andremeese.livejournal.com]

Oh, goodness! Thank you so much, sticktothestory! I saw you EVERYWHERE this year, you know. Not only are you an awesome author, but you're a marvelous reviewer, too, and, well, you just rock my socks. Thank you for being a pinch-hitter and for making me LITERALLY SQUEAL WITH GLEE.

Also, THANK YOU SO MUCH, mods! This is my third time writing for the Exchange, and I've had a great time every year! You guys seriously rock. Seriously.

meredydd, my shiny beta, also deserves a million thanks because she really helped me to get my story finished, even if I did turn it in a bit late. You're amazing, darling!



And I'd also like to say that our fandom ROCKS, guys, and you're all to blame for it. :D

[sticktothestory.livejournal.com]

Thank you for giving me such an awesome prompt to work with! I'm so happy I didn't know Sticks and Stones was yours, or I'd have been twice as nervous about pinch-hitting for you - I must have reread that story at least three times now.

[ineffabili-tea.livejournal.com]

I'd also like to thank all the mods for their patience and hard work! Thanks for making go_exchange possible for us all.

And thanks again, unravels, for my lovely gift!

[rasetsunyo.livejournal.com]

I'd like to thank my lovely, helpful, patient beta refche, the picture wouldn't be nearly as good without your help.

Thank you waxbean for my wonderful, wonderful gift, and thank you lovely mods!

[waxbean.livejournal.com]

you're so welcome!

xoxoxoW

[runcible.livejournal.com]

Thank you mods for this *___* And to migratory, for my awesome gift. :D :D

Also, to everyone who replied to my drawing: thank you!

[quantum-witch.livejournal.com]

Whew! Third exchange, and two times pinch-hitting! It never fails to amaze me how deadlines push the boundaries of Muses (and good taste). Enjoyed every moment (and so glad it was before school re-starts)! Thank you marvelous mods, for struggling through this Sisyphean challenge once again. Love you much.


YES! AUTHORS GO TO GOOD OMENS LIBRARY! UPLOAD! MORE STORIES! YAY!

And if artists have a moment, come to the deviantArt GO Club (http://goodomens.deviantart.com/), and consider joining in the Terry Pratchett Project.

[prestissima.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much to the mods, for your hard work and tireless efforts to make this the biggest exchange ever!

[aviss.livejournal.com]

And thank you for your lovely gift! I enjoyed it a lot!

[sarahsan]

Praise, thanks, and abject kowtowing to the GOE mods for yet another amazing year. You all really are the greatest, the hardest working, and the all-round coolest comm moderators on the planet. Hats off to you. <333

My deepest thanks to my No-Longer-Secret Writer, jazzy_fay. Let me take this moment to reiterate my intense SQUEEEEEEE for my gorgeous fic. Splendid job; I can't thank you enough. -^_^- *&hugs*

[aviss.livejournal.com]

Thank you mods for bringing this exchange to us another year, is a pleasure to participate and the effort you guys putt in this in amazing. Thanks so much!

[waxbean.livejournal.com]

thank you for your wonderful story, Aviss - I shouldn't have favorites, I know... but I can't help it-Seduction for Dummies was awesome!!!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_silverfox/]

Thank you so much greywing12 for a fic that was even better than I'd hoped for. :)

And also very special thanks to nettle_mooneye who was originally supposed to be my secondary beta as neither of us is a native speaker of English, but due to a problem with my primary beta's e-mail ended up being my only beta. You did a great job, my dear. I couldn't have done this without you. (Well, I could, but you know all the mistakes that would have stayed in, if you hadn't found them. ;) )

[malicehaughton.livejournal.com]

*runs, hides, finds corner and bows head in shame* I was a little slow, yeah. Sorry about that. And yeah, I guess that makes me one of the flakes. I will get the story that I was working on up sometime soon I swear it, even if it didn't make it up on the actual list.

And now I feel guilty. Ah well, not to be helped. Wth RL and Christmas Holidays and things, I ran out of time.

Thanks anyway to _silverfox who was beta reading the fic as I wrote it. You made it so much better, and will continue doing so until it is finished :)

[secret-weapon.livejournal.com]

Thank you quil_solo for my fabulous gift! I loved it so much, it totally brightened up my day!

Also much love to my wonderful beta waxbean for dealing with my montrosity of a fic and ongoing battle with commas.

And thanks to everyone who reviewed! Am so glad you like it.

[waxbean.livejournal.com]

you're so welcome! I loved beta-ing your fantastic story.

[freudian-lisp.livejournal.com]

Firstly, a big, big thank-you to our brilliant and absolutely fabulous mods! Guys, I know how hard this exchange stuff can be and you did a wonderful job on it. Everything went surprizingly smooth, considering that so many joined this year. Thank you!

Secondly, the_leechwife I freaking loved my gift! It's so sweet and I wouldn't have guessed it was yours in a million years (don't know the writers and artists in this fandom too well). I'm going to re-read it when I'm done with this comment

Thirdly, THANK YOU to all who joined. Your stories and pictures really helped me into Christmas-mode. You made my snow-less holiday just a tiny bit better :)

[the-leechwife.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeee!
I mean, it was a pleasure.
*eats praise*

[sticktothestory.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, refche, for your amazing gift - I really love it.

And thank you, mods, for all the effort you put into this exchange, for your patience when I failed to deliver in time, and for brightening up what so easily could have been a spectacularly shitty month. I'm looking forward to this year's exchange already.

[waxbean.livejournal.com]

no, really, thank you! You were an awesome pinch hitter - and your story was completely HOT and HILARIOUS - which is truly my favorite combination.

[the-leechwife.livejournal.com]

Oh my! I would like to thank all the mods and anyone who helped organise this wonderful festive treat. I would also like to thank my beta ragetti_wench and my recipient kalamburd for being so sweet and giving me a reason to write nice fic.

Most of all I would like to thank the supreme nettle_mooneye for doing a STUNNING job and giving me just what I wanted for Chrsitmas. I stand humbled before you.

[argyleheir.livejournal.com]

Thanks again to the mods for all your kindness and patience. It's been wonderful to participate again, and I can't wait to go back and explore anything I managed to miss.

[waxbean.livejournal.com]

thank you for my fabulous gift, Argyleheir!

take care,
Mary

[mandyvonblandy.livejournal.com]

Cant wait for next year!

[dreya-uberwald.livejournal.com]

Thank you to all the mods for running the exchange this year (a special thank you goes to vulgarweed for betaing the fic I wrote). Thanks also to hiza_chan for the lovely gift.

[migratory.livejournal.com]

Thank you to _silverfox for a wonderful story.
Also thanks to a_bees_buzz for stepping in at the last minute to be my art beta.
And, of course, many thanks to the mods. You're all wonderful.

Happy new year to all xxx
