Closing Ceremonies, Personal Thank You.
Friends of Snarry:
Hi. My name is djin7, I am the maintainer of the snarry_games. I would like to say a few words to you all.
Before we announce the results of the 2007 Summer Snarry Art Games, I would like to take this time to thank some people who really made this round possible.
We have had a pretty rough time of it this year, first with our name change at livejournal, and then our sudden move from that same place. This caused us some technical trouble, a late start, and issues such as not having the time to get a Closing Games contest going. However, I think we made it through with as few problems as possible, and I have many - MANY - people to thank for that.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE:
To glockgal once again for donating our beautiful Snarry Games artwork for 2007. I would also like to thank pervart for our layout , various icons and doing a tonne of work in the last round, the Winter Games. Many thanks to ac1d6urn for doing up graphics and icons for the Artist Games, using Glock's lineart, as we had to change our theme mid-year thanks to the Trouble With Canon (tm).
Speaking of the layout, a big shout-out to fleurdeliser, who transferred the community over to InsaneJournal, keeping all our entries from the last two years safe again. Also, to snakeling, who redid the layout here.
Thank you to mods earthphoenix, who helped with coding, and counting the polls, and to magic_helmet, new to the Games this year, who is pretty busy running and administrating author websites, mailing lists, and the SS HP Prophet, who helped with memories and counting the polls. Thanks also to new mod dacro who kept up with our memberships, checking user info and age statements. ♥
To meredyth_13, for inventing the poll spreadsheet this year, saving the mods a tonne of time and heartache, and to igtow for perfecting it.
Also, to igtow for being the Queen of the Lists. Lifesaver. Excel List Guru. ♥
To those who helped in the counting process: meredyth_13, magic_helmet, earthphoenix, snakeling, Deanna, and reddwarfer.
To snakeling, who did the thumbnails and coded all the artwork for me to upload, thank you!
Thank you to the following Champions who came through for their teams when they were needed: glockgal, zombaid and cnry_crem_dght for Team Angst, undunoops, chaosraven and tripperfunster for Team Romance. Also, thanks again to igtow, who realised we'd be short before any of us did, because of her awesome list making madskillz, and came through with a last minute pinch for Team Romance. ♥
A very special thank you goes out to reddwarfer, snakeling, and especially aliciamasters, all of whom sacrificed their time and sanity this last month to help post the entries. Because of the size of the teams, we decided to post four times daily, approximately every 6 hours. This mean that I could not possibly do it alone, or even with some help - I needed big help. These ladies came through. Each one had a shift and performed admirably, and worked hard. Some minor errors were made, but anyone who works 18 hours, gets four hours of sleep, and still gets up early in the morning and posts for me; writes for several fests and still saves the time; has RL trauma and still makes the effort: you all deserve a medal, and then some. Thank you so much. You made this Games so much easier, and there really aren't enough words to thank you all. ♥♥♥♥
Also, another special thank you to Hilde, who fashioned this Games Medals and Banners using glockgal's 2007 Lineart and logo. They are fantastic, and we are happy to unveil them, coming up soon!
To all the watchers and fans who helped make this project a huge success: My deepest gratitude. For following us over from Livejournal, for pimping and reccing, for participating, commenting, and generally just being there- THANK YOU!
The totals are in, and have been tallied several times by several different people. This means that the Medal Ceremonies will be coming right up, after a personal open letter to my Games Champions. Stay tuned!
