All good things must come to an end except for Snarry which is eternal, and so, with this post, the Sixth Annual Snarry Swap has officially come to a close. All artist and author names have been added to the individual posts. If you notice any errors, please let us know!

We realize that this has been a busy month for new fic and art, but if you do find something you enjoy, it's never too late to leave some love for the author or artist.

Special thanks, as always, go out to shadowess for graciously providing website space for us to house our art, demikiss for all her assistance as fest beta, and to all our amazing pinch hitters - emilywaters1976, gingertart50, leela_cat, suitesamba, and torino10154. ♥♥♥

We hope you enjoyed all of the fabulous stories and art posted this year.
