The characters have banged their last bang of this birthday, and now that we've finished handing out fresh towels and sports drinks, we're back with the author and artist reveals!
...But before we name names, we want to extend a few quick but very heartfelt thanks.
First and foremost, enormous gratitude and praise to the brilliant and talented authors and artists who participated in our birthday celebration and all of those who've contributed to Daily Deviant throughout the years. This comm is great because
you have made it that way.
An extra helping of that thanks to the members who helped out with pinch hits and extra pieces in Banging Birthday, some of those very eleventh-hour:
akatnamedeaster,
lilmisblack, and
thilia -- and to everyone who's pitched in with similar help for Kinky Kristmas over the last several holiday seasons.
Last but definitely not least, tremendous amounts of appreciation going out to everyone who read, viewed, commented, recced, and otherwise interacted during our birthday celebration and to those who do it all year 'round. We keep saying this, and we mean it more each time: What makes this fandom amazing is the opportunity to connect with a huge number of intelligent, articulate, fascinating, like-minded fans. Those of you who interact, participate, and communicate are what made this fandom great in the first place and what has kept it alive all these years. You
are HP fandom. And we love you for it.
