Oh, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to! - but I must... This is the final post of the Discovered in a Christmas Stocking Challenge, and hasn't it been brilliant? Thank you so much to magenta_blue who did a fab job making a banner and icon that made me giggle whenever I saw it, and to everyone who's participated, who's created, and read and viewed, and commented and just enjoyed it all - Pros is just the best place to be at Christmas time!

I'll link posts to the Calendar above as usual, so that you just have to click on someone's userpic to be taken to their creations and contributions, and the challenge is archived on the User Info page as usual too... And I am planning to catch up with the Dialj Bounds, one of these days... For people who've written fic - don't forget to send your stories to our ProsLib archivist, at proslib at gmaildotcom, and perhaps archive yourself to The Automated Hatstand...

And that must be all for this year... Although there might be another wee challenge along shortly - maybe even very shortly *g* - so do keep your eyes peeled...

Thank you so much for organising - I know we've told you before, but you really are fabulous for doing so much for us all.

And thanks to everyone who took part - I've enjoyed it so much (and I've still got loads of it to read and look at... we just need a couple of extra days in the week *g*). You've all been brilliant, thank you.

You're totally welcome - it's fun! *g* And it has been brilliant, hasn't it... *sighs happily*

Just - thank you for doing it! We thank the authors and artists individually but the 'behind the scenes' work makes it all possible and gives everyone so much pleasure.

Oh, you're welcome! It's fun when so many people are so brilliant about it - all totally worth it! *g*

I've been waiting for your wrapping up (or folding up and putting away) post to say thank you for the great job you've done of organising, while writing wonderful fic yourself - doing either one of those on their own would have been beyond me.

The quality and variety and cleverness of everyone's contributions has been really impressive. (is awed)

Thank you!

Hee - thank you! I think it helps immensely that I have neither partner nor children nor career to be worrying about at the moment!

I'm always totally awed by the way Dialj Christmas/Winter/Let's-Have-Lights works out, and this year has been as wonderful as ever - Pros is so fab! *g*

fab

It is indeed - just as fab as the people who make it happen! *g*

Thank you for organising another brilliant challenge!

I am continually amazed at the creativity of Pros fans - and at all the hard work behind the scenes which enables that creativity to be shared around us all, as well, and this comm is a shining example of that.

As to how you manage to organise these challenges, write superb fic, and do RL as well... wow.

Take a bow, bsl! *g*
