I'd like to thank the Academy...

Author reveals are up! :D

Now that all is said and done and the ashamed among us can start making our excuses and apologies, I think many thanks are in order. I'm talking about last-minute beta readers, long-suffering flists, poor souls who came into close contact with a harrangued author as the deadline loomed, & etc.

So if you have thanks (or apologies, depending on how strung out you got as the 28th approached) to give, comment and have at it here! :D

*** I think one thank-you, however, should be universal. I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to silvermuse89 and tarigwaemir, who have managed to organize this challenge (and all of its crazy participants!) not once, but twice, and seamlessly both times. You both are amazing, simply put, and I don't think we can ever thank you enough for all of your hard work. <3333

I want to thank svz_insanity, chaineddove and daisy_chan, who were sort of like an Unholy Trinity of both torment and love. XD Y'all mock because you love, right? right?

Also my flist and anyone following my eljay. I'm sure there were many, many people who just wanted leap across the internet and rip the caps lock key off of my keyboard. TOO LATE NOW.

And again, thankyouthankyouthankyou to our magnificent mods. You ladies are full of win and awesome, really and truly. *___*

OH. To anyone who commented on my fic entries, thank you so much for reading and making the effort to comment. You guys are fabulous and I can't express how delighted your comments were to read, each and every one. It makes it all worthwhile! <3

Thank you guys! :D

I want to thank zoesque, sagekaley, murinae, thehoyden, distansu, Sora, bobrhyn and anyone else on my flist that I unfortunately accosted and went "OMG CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE I SUCK" at. XD

Also, much thanks to my flist for not chucking large heavy objects in my general direction for making obnoxious "OMG SEVEN DAYS" posts complete with CAPS LOCK (LIKE THIS) and total disregard of proper punctuation and grammar whatsoever.

Also, much much kudos to our wonderful mods! 83 fics, yowza. *___* You guys are fantastic.

Oh, and like Zoe--THANKS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMMENTED ON MY FICS. You won't believe how dorky/obsessive compulsive I was when it came to checking my entries. XD You guys are fantastic and you're one of the best parts of the blind_go experience. ♥♥♥

tarigwaemir and silvermuse89, thank you both for helping me write again. I'd forgotten what it's like to have other people say they've enjoyed something I've written. And thanks to my reluctant beta, smallredfox--sorry I pulled you into this.

Thanks first and foremost to the amazing, wonderful mods who organized this challenge. You guys are the best!

Thanks to doumeki for lending me her Akira muse, without whom I'd certainly not have written anything. In fact, thanks to doumeki and also aoyagi for listening to me FLAIL LIKE MAD while trying not to give away my fic (and failing at the not giving away part like whoa).

Thanks to zoesque for being an endless source of entertainment. XD Zoe, what would I do without you, really? Also, thanks for dragging me into this challenge. I LIKE TO SUFFER REALLY.

Thanks to all the reviewers who made me feel a little better about my rushed crazy half-coherent THING which everyone else seems to like better than I do *lol* Let's all do it again ^_^.
