Snarry Holidays

The third round of snarry_holidays has officially come to a close! In a little over an hour, we'll post the final masterlist so you can finally see who wrote/drew for you. :) I've really enjoyed this round and it was especially wonderful getting to know some newer authors and artists, as well as seeing some familiar folks again. ♥

Thank you so much to everyone who participated as an author or an artist. We had a surprising number of dropouts this year, and thus there was a lot of under-the-wire regifting taking place. Thanks for everyone who was so supportive about allowing us to regift and working with us. We're especially grateful for those people who got their gifts in on time. ♥ Thank you to the pinch-hitters who stepped in: countesszero, who came in early on and was worked into the fest; ivylady, who generously allowed us to gift her pinch-hit to the comm; and psyfic, who stepped in at the last minute and was an absolute dream. ♥ Everyone's patience, perseverance and enthusiasm has been lovely.

jin_fenghuang volunteered this year to let us use her website for hosting longer fic and art. She helped with modding duties and spent many hours conquering the beast that is html and coding. She participated in the fest herself and has left many wonderful comments. Thank you so much, dear. You've been an absolute rockstar.

lesyeuxverts is always a fabulous co-mod and can be counted on for support in handling frustrating situations and effectively proofreading long fics at superhuman speed. *hugs tight* You deserve many martinis and chocolate and Snarry porn!

carpet_diemon also co-modded with us this year, helping in the arduous task of matching assignments, as well as answering emails and proofreading, even with injured hands! Thank you so much for your diligent work, hon!

arcanetrivia saved our collectives asses by helping to proofread many stories. She was thorough and fast as lightning. Thank you so, so much.

Thank you to sev1970 for providing the coding for the first round-up and for her incredible enthusiasm.

To everyone who has commented and rec'd (and provided us recs), I can't promise you my firstborn - because I have no intentions to have squabbling children (one could say I'm hardwired like Snape in this way *g*) - but I can thank you profusely, so: THANK YOU!!!

Anyone else I have forgotten: thank you! Feel free to kick my ass. *g*

Everyone made this such a lovely round: thank you so much. There will be some last admin-y notes with the masterlist about posting and hosting your fic offsite, etc. :)

*kisses and Snarry cheer*

Weekly Wrap-Up: Week Three

If there are any errors, please let me know! :)

( Art )

( Fic )

If you missed the previous wrap-ups, here: Week One, and Week Two.

I hope everyone's enjoying the holiday season and/or the snow. ♥ But I especially hope you're enjoying the fest! We have a couple of surprise gifts, so the fest will be running a bit longer than we anticipated - probably until Christmas Day itself. We will wait about a week for reveals so that everyone has a chance to catch up. :)

A quick reminder to continue leaving feedback! If you rec something (fic or art), please tell us in this post. :) I've been able to send some recs over to the Snitch. Thanks for those that have been sharing links.

And lastly, we have already posted the gift for thesewarmstars called Speak Low If You Speak of Love. For some reason, however, the HTML is being recalcitrant despite all our collective efforts. Therefore, we're going to re-post the fic the old-fashioned way on IJ/LJ/DW. Sorry to spam your flists, but perhaps this way the HTML will come out correctly. :) It's a great fic. There will be a new fic posted later on tonight - a gift for everyone!

Hi everyone!

I hope you're continuing to enjoy the fest! I just wanted to take a moment to encourage anyone with any suggestions, comments or recommendations to send an email to snarryholiday [at] gmail [at] com. Additionally, if you have found any of the warnings, on a piece of fic or art, to not be adequate or accurate, please let us know by emailing us. :)

Thanks!

We hope everyone has been enjoying the fest so far! Thanks so much for everyone who has been leaving such kind comments. We'd love to see even more comments, so that the wonderful authors and artists get love and to spread the Snarry cheer. ♥ So commenting and reccing are very, very welcome. If you make a rec for anything (fic or art) in the fest and/or see a rec, please leave a comment here or email us. :)

If anyone missed the Week One Wrap-Up post, it's here.

If anyone has any suggestions or questions so far, please email us (snarryholiday at gmail dot com) or leave a comment here. And, just FYI, our submissions have balanced out so that we'll be posting twice a day regularly (at 10am and 9pm EST, if you haven't already surmised *g*).

We hope everyone is enjoying all the great fests, the promise of snow (whether in real form or v-gift form), and the holiday season!

This is a friendly reminder that all gifts are due to us Monday, November 16, unless you are pinch-hitting or have already requested an extension. If you need an extension or think you might, please email us at snarryholiday [at] gmail [dot] com.

We are here to answer any questions you might have!

Hey everyone! We've already had some people express interest in pinch-hitting -- well, now is your chance to sign-up. We'll definitely need some back-up writers and artists on hand, as we'll undoubtedly have a few drop-outs during the course of the fest. Hopefully all of our artists and writers are busily and happily working on their creations for this holiday, but real life crises do crop up. If you do have to drop out, we'd appreciate it if you let us know as soon as possible.

Those who are worked into the fest within the next few weeks will become full participants (who will both write/draw a customized gift and receive one), so if you missed your chance to sign-up but would still like to participate, you may still have a chance if there are any early assignment problems/drop-outs.

Please fill out the form completely, including a working e-mail address. Thank you all in advance. We love our pinch-hitters! :)

If anyone is interested in betaing, we still need beta volunteers. Go sign-up here!
