Congrats to all the participants this year for doing such a great job, both in writing lovely fics and in thanking your givers! You made modding very easy. *g*

( The poll results: )

Happy New Year, all!

I'll post the reveals this evening, so now is your last chance to guess the authors!

Just for fun, I thought I'd set up a poll to guess the authors of this year's ficlets. I'll offer a ficlet in any of the fandoms (except Dr Who, which I don't know) to whomever guesses the most correctly. The poll will be open until the reveal on Dec. 31, and you don't need to have been a participant to play!

The authors this year were: alisanne, angela_snape, celandineb, circeniko, cruisedirector, curia_regis, emiime, geekmama, juniperus, just_ann_now, thrihyrne, and torn_eledhwen. One person wrote two ficlets. :-)

( Here's the poll - open to all! )

Title: Prise de Fer ("take the steel")
Recipient: just_ann_now
Fandom: Swordspoint
Author: thrihyrne
Pairing: Richard St. Vier/Alec Campion

Warnings: n/a
Summary: Alec attempts to celebrate Richard's birthday, and succeeds at making it up to him.
Notes: For the dear just_ann_now who was interested in long hair tied back (or untied) and massages/backrubs. My gratitude to my betas, pillars of prose-guidance and insight. Thank you!

Recipient: alisanne
Fandom: HP
Author: juniperus
Pairing: SS/NL
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Summary: Never challenge a Gryffindor at their own game.
Notes: I hope this pleases you! I thought pr0n around the sharp leaves of the mistletoe entirely too much risk – I feared putting Slytherbits (of which I am notably very fond) in harm’s way. :P

Header info is here. Thanks to those who have already submitted!

Remember, if for some reason you're not going to be able to finish your ficlet, please let me know ASAP at 3fan DOT hols AT gmail DOT com!

Fics are due on December 10, so just under a week from today. Header info is here. Several of you have already sent yours in - many thanks!

Remember, if for some reason you're not going to be able to finish yours, please let me know ASAP at 3fan DOT hols AT gmail DOT com to discuss the possibility of an extension or so that a pinch-hit can be arranged... but hopefully that won't be necessary. *g*

Posting will begin on the 12th!

The deadline for submissions is 10 December, so you still have three weeks - lots of time. *g*

If you anticipate not having your ficlet ready for submission on time, let me know ASAP, by commenting here or by email. Because posting will start only two days after the deadline, extensions really aren't possible, so I'll need to find someone to pinch-hit if you can't finish. But remember, a drabble is sufficient -- the maximum is 2000 words, but the minimum only 100 words!

Email your ficlet to 3fan DOT hols AT gmail DOT com, as an attachment in .doc, .rtf, .wpd, or .txt format. The header info to include is:

<b>Title:</b> <b>Recipient:</b> <b>Fandom:</b> <b>Author:</b> [will be removed before posting] <b>Characters or Pairing:</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Warnings:</b> [if applicable] <b>Summary:</b> <b>Notes:</b> [if applicable]

Please, everyone, reply to the e-mail so that I know you've received it. If you signed up and didn't get an e-mail, let me know in a comment here.

I'll post header info in a week or two (no one's going to finish that quickly, right?).

FYI, we have an even dozen participants this year. :-) So there will be one ficlet posted daily from the 13th to the 24th. Looking forward to it!
