(If anyone ever feels ambitious enough to make masterlists for the previous years, I'll be happy to put them up!)

Since no one's come forward looking for their drabble, I'm going to declare this year's exchange officially finished with much success (if the comments pouring into the mod inbox are any indication)! Don't forget to send your friends over to read your work and others' - the tags are already in place for those who are choosy.

Writers, to see all your comments, be sure to check both IJ and LJ's HP_Halloween. Also, remember that you can click the "track this" button at the start of each post (it looks like a thumbtack) if you would like to receive the comments on your drabbles in your inbox.

If you do a round of rec-ing, let us know here! Some of these drabbles just might qualify for a newsletter, you never know.

Have no illusions, starduchess and shadowycat are a huge reason why this year's exchange ran so smoothly and efficiently. I had a very busy birthday week and was able to be present more this year because I had their capable hands taking on much of the work managing 46 writers. They're owed more than equal thanks for their hard work! (and if you like Snape/Harry or Snape/Lupin and want to post extra drabbles for them, feel free!)

That said, if you're ever interested in helping out, please volunteer early next year by contacting me at the mod mail or my email if you know it. I hope Starduchess and Shadowy will be back, but if not, I'm spoiled now and don't want to do it alone. ~_^

( Walk of Shame )

Thank you all for participating this year - you were terrific! We ended up with 46 participants and 47 drabbles - the most yet of any year I've been mod. I hope you had fun with this and a good Dia de los Muertos. Let's all meet here again next year for more spooky fun!

love, lore

Wrap-up tomorrow. Comment away, all! This drabble courtesy of Severed_Lies, who is an enthusiastic writer! Thus....

Gift for: perfect_potion

From: eyesdimtonight

Title: Candy Corn
Pairing: Snarry
Rating: G
Disclaimer: I very clearly do not own Harry Potter or any of the associated characters or ideas. Nor do I own even a single bag of candy corn! Woe is me!
Warnings: Does silliness count? Snarky Severus!
Summary: It was all Granger's fault... Prompts were SS/HP and candy corn.
Notes: I loved this prompt! I'm British myself and we don't have candy corn, so the reaction of the boys here is based on the fact that they're also British.

Gift for: ragdoll

From: luvscharlie

Title: Number 12, Grimmauld Place (Appearing Hallowe'en Night Only)
Pairing: Bill/Tonks, Sirius
Rating: Light R (for frank discussion)
Warnings: Naughty talk, and Bill wishes someone had warned him about Tonks back in school, but even he knows it's pointless now. Poor bloke.
Summary: On Hallowe'en night, Tonks wants to reveal Number 12, Grimmauld Place to the Muggles so that she and Sirius can have a bit of fun with the poor, befuddled non-magical humans. Bill resists, but he never could much resist Dora Tonks.
Notes: Despite the fact I had to delete a ton of words, I had a great deal of fun writing this. Takes place during Order of the Phoenix, when Harry's safely away at school, so it's risky, but only to grown ups, Tonks insists.
