And the winner is....
EVERYONE! Er... *is lame*

Actually, I do want to thank everyone who participated this year! I had a grand time running this, despite the occasional hiccups, and everyone is simply lovely. It's so refreshing to have a warm, fuzzy exchange in fandom where everyone is so supportive of the insanity we are producing.

Extra love to jin_fenghuang for taking on a last minute pinch-hit so I didn't have to torture more people with my own "art" than absolutely necessary.

So, now on to the reveals and some utterly foolish awards, all bestowed with adoration and groping!

Well, that's all folks... I'll get around to updating all the posts with user names in a couple days, once I get done with the large stack of student essays that are menacing me from the kitchen counter.

Feel free to post to your journals what you've done! I'd adore it if you would include a link back to the original post (This will not only pimp the fest, but help you keep track of the original post and comments!)

So, you can now login and reply to the lovely comments left at your creations.

And barring anything awful, we'll be back next year for the 3rd Foolish Year!
