thank you

On behalf of your mod squad, [livejournal.com profile] callistosh65, [livejournal.com profile] draycevixen, [livejournal.com profile] norfolkdumpling, [livejournal.com profile] saintvic, [livejournal.com profile] sc_fossil,[livejournal.com profile] sineala and myself, I'd like to thank everyone for helping make the third annual Pros Big Bang so much fun to participate in.

To the writers, artists, and vidders, thank you for so generously sharing your talent and creativity with the fandom.

A big thank you is due to [livejournal.com profile] callistosh65 for not running away screaming when we started talking about setting up a Pros Big Bang in the first place. And to [livejournal.com profile] draycevixen, [livejournal.com profile] norfolkdumpling, [livejournal.com profile] saintvic, [livejournal.com profile] sc_fossil, and [livejournal.com profile] sineala for responding with enthusiasm last year when I asked them if they might want to help out. (These days they all do far more than I do.)

To the Pros fandom in general, thank you for cheerleading, supporting, and providing encouragement to everyone involved.

Here's hoping we'll all be ready to do it again next year. ♥

This Year's Stats

Big thanks to all the mods for being so supportive and encouraging throughout the whole process. It can't have been easy, particularly as some of you were also doing your own stories and art!

With a bit of luck, I'll actually be able to start reading in a couple more weeks!

This has been fantabulous - thanks to everyone who made it happen, contributed and waved pompoms. Last year was wonderful, because I was very new to the fandom and suddenly I had all this great stuff to read. This year has been a bit different - exciting and scary, then relieved and apprehensive at the same time, and now I have all this great stuff to read!

Well done everyone, and thank you.

It was such fun even when we were gnashing our teeth! thanks to all the participants, writers, readers, artists, vidders, cheerleaders, editors, betas, friends and family, who all worked together to get this accomplished.

Thanks so much to all of you for making it happen, keeping most of us on the strait and narrow, and ensuring that the technical aspects were comparatively painless! It's wonderful having things on AO3 and being able to download them ready for my Kindle - what a luxurious month you've given us!! I started reading the first few almost as they came out but of course have fallen behind, so there will be pleasure in November, too.

Hey, you mods are all amazing. Thank you for your organization and enthusiasm! Oh, and your amazing patience as well. *g* *Big round of applause and cheers*

It was great fun (yes, fun, angst is fun) to participate, thanks to you and all the other participants and cheerer-oners and readers!

Thank you, too, to all my fellow participants! I have only read one story so far (arrgh) but look forward to reading the others in the coming weeks. Ooooh, lovely stuff!

Thank you!

I'm really proud of finishing my story, and I love the way everyone pulled together to finish theirs, too. I think it takes a lot of guts to do something like this, and you guys have done it several years now. So... good for you, I think it's really well organized and amazing, and I'm glad I got to play along. :)

Thanks, all. I have thoroughly enjoyed the reading and the art and expectation and diving onto new stories. I have very nearly kept pace with the posting as well.

Hope it runs next year. I really want to have a go at it, too, one day.

Thank you mods for making it happen ♥ And *hugs* to all this lovely, fabulous fandom that keeps going and keeps producing all this marvellous stuff *g* Some time, I will do a Big Bang and not fit it round major surgery, but until that time, I've found it's a brilliant distraction - cheers guys! *g*
