wanking_mods @ 02:00 am: Wacky, Wanky Stats and Observations
While we're waiting for the reveals post, how about we take a look at what we all accomplished this time, yeah?
( HP Wankfest 2011 Stats and Silliness )What we're try to say is that you all certainly are a creative and talented lot of wankers! There was an unbelievably huge range of ideas and tones in the pieces, and we're absolutely astonished that everyone was able to do so much with a few props and the general theme of masturbation. We had obscene amounts of fun viewing and reading the art and fic as it came in, and we sincerely hope you enjoyed them as much as we did.
Reveals are scheduled to go up in ten hours. The Wanktastic Awards will follow not too long thereafter. Keep watching us throughout the day for those posts and more. It ain't over 'til the battery runs down...Tags: modly
wanking_mods @ 12:00 pm: HP Wankfest 2011 Reveals
Wow, it seems like it was just a couple of weeks ago that we wank-loving mods first tossed
off around the idea of running another round of Wankfest. And now it's already time for reveals! Time really does fly when you're having, er, fun, doesn't it?
Below the cut you'll find the author and artist reveals. Don't go away just yet, though -- the Wanktastic Awards will be presented a little later today. After that, we'll have some final words and a few last fun things for everyone.
Now, without further ado...
( HP Wankfest 2011 Reveals! )So, what do you think? Some surprises? Some not-at-all-surprises? Find some new authors and artists to follow?
Stick around for the results of the voting!

wanking_mods @ 04:00 pm: 2011 Wanktastic Awards!
For the most part, the art categories had pretty clear winners from early on. The fic categories, however, were considerably less certain. Particularly in Best Male Character Wank, where we had a
five-way tie for quite some time. We thought for sure we were going to have to hold a wank off! But thankfully a few last-minute votes provided a tie breaker. Actually, we still ended up with a two-way tie in that category -- as well as one other -- but we can live with that. ;)
So, here's how the voting turned out in the end:
( Voter's Choice Awards )Now for the Mod's Choice. There was so much amazing work submitted to this fest that there was no way we could give an award to every single thing we loved. But we certainly did make a solid effot. ;) Most of our selections were pieces that did quite well in the voting also, so we know most of you will likely agree with us and nod along.
Well, here are
our thoughts on the matter:
( Mod's Choice Awards )Stay tuned a little longer, everyone! We're
still not done yet. There are a few more goodies coming up soon...

wanking_mods @ 08:00 pm: Wankfest 2011 Farewell Address... and Goodies for All!
Well, with this final post, HP Wankfest 2011 is all over. The mess is mopped up, the lotion and towels are put away, the various characters are having a smoke or a nap, and poor Snape has been sent back to his dungeons with a special salve to treat the chaffing. We're sad to see it end, but also ridiculously proud of the fantastic collection of fic and art that came together here this time around.
Truly, you all demonstrated some unbelievable creativity and surprised us over and over again with your inventive uses for the prompts and brilliant pieces that were far beyond your everyday wankfic or art. To date, the fest generated more than 800 comments on its 48 pieces, and 23 fics and arts -- nearly half the fest! -- found their way into the Daily Snitch.
Our huge, huge thanks to all the amazing authors and artist who clearly brought their A-game for this celebration, and to everyone who read, viewed, commented, recced, and squeed along. You made the return of Wankfest a smashing success and a whole hell of a lot of fun.
As a special thank you to our participants, there are some final goodies below the cut. Those of you who were around back in 2008 will get a particular kick out of what's down here. ;)
Thanks again, and happy wanking!!
