I wish I had something more tangible to offer you than my heartfelt thanks, but please know that it really is heartfelt. I never dreamed that I'd be allowed to play with some of the most awe-inspiring writers in fandom, so thank you for giving that to me.

Thank you for running the Games, which never fail to produce some of the best work on offer for the pairing. I know... well, I don't know with any certainty, but I can imagine the amount of work that goes into it, the ups and downs (hopefully the ups far outweigh the downs), and the emotional toll it must take on you, wrangling all of these different personalities and perspectives. But you always manage to keep a cool head and keep an eye on the more important issue: teh Snarry, in all its glorious forms.

Thank you for your dedication to the pairing, your perseverance, inspiration, infinite patience, and most of all for inspiring the churning out of such wonderful Snarry works each year. If this truly is your last one, I hope you'll remember your experiences with pride, a great sense of accomplishment, and true fondness. I know that's how I think of my own experiences with the Games.

So, thank you for letting me play in your Games, two years running, and for allowing me to stretch a little bit and create a couple of stories that I am truly proud of, and that might never have been written otherwise.
