Discovered in the Christmas Tree

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It's that time of January again - time to close down the Discovered in a Christmas Tree challenge, with all its sparkling Pros-iness... Though it's all still here really - if you click on any of the icons in the calendar below it will take you to the day in question, and all the post-ers contributions. The banner on the User Info page will take you to all the tagged entries for "Tree", so you can find things that way too.

If you've not already done so, do send your fic-type offerings to proslib at gmaildotcom for extra archiving, or think about archiving them yourself to the Automated Hatstand, or at least adding them to a MasterList of your own stories! As has been pointed out a few times recently, the more places Pros-y stories are archived, the better for future readers to find and enjoy them!

All that's left to say is a big thank you! to everyone who took part - writers and artists and vidders and creators, and readers and commenters all - and particularly to thisyear's banner and icon designer, gvenanne, who did a brilliant job of helping us to shine through the dark end-of-year days! You've all helped to make Pros a gorgeous place to be around Christmas time, yet again! *g*

And keep your eyes open, there'll be another discoveredinalj challenge along soon... *g*

Thanks for hosting the Christmas special. It was great fun.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You're welcome - it always is fun, isn't it! *g*

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

It was marvellous! Thanks for all your hard work.

I shall be posting my poems to AO3 but am I right in thinking they're not suitable for fic archives?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

And thank you for participating! *g*

Erm... why are you thinking they're not suitable for fic archives? ProsLib certainly contains poems, and if you check out the Automated Hatstand's Genre page you'll see there's a tag for Poetry-FILK... *g*

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Oh!! A hangover from work where we weren't allowed to put poetry books on the fiction shelves... The rule must have had quite an effect on my subconscious. I remember arguing heatedly about stories told in rhyme!! I've never looked at the Genre page! Will send off to both. Glad I asked!!

Oh wow. What a pretty tree. I have to say, together, people did a great job of decorating it, and thank you, slantedlight for finding it, bringing it round, and putting it in the pot for us to decorate in the first place (*strains metaphor slightly*), and gvenanne for illuminating it so beautifully.

Isn't it gorgeous? And how awful of me not to have shouted out again a big thank you to gvenanne for designing our banner and icon this year! *runs to fix*

[hagsrus.livejournal.com]

Thanks for all your energy - and for seeing it through *g*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I do like Christmas in Pros... *g* And thank you for your hard work, archiving everything! *g*

[siskiou.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is great! It makes it so much easier to go back and catch up with all the lovely offerings! This post will go into the memories.
And thanks to everyone who organized and participated!
Advent with Pros is always so much fun!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hee - you do know that I've done this every January 7th-ish for the last five years or so...? *g* If you click on the banners to the Christmas challenges that are up on the user page, the first post you should get to each time should be the calendar with all the links on...

And yeah, it's a particularly good time to be in Pros, innit... *g*

[siskiou.livejournal.com]

Thanks for pointing out the banner link!
I've always been around for Pros advent before, but missed a lot of it this year, so it's particularly nice for me. :)
Pros is always good, but Advent with Bodie and Doyle is the icing! Thanks!

Thank you for all you do too - I'm sure it's a ton of hard work, but you always seem so serene and in control!

It's greatly appreciated ♥

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hee - I can tell you've never met me... *g* But it's fun when people are enjoying themselves, so... *g*

[golden-bastet.livejournal.com]

And than YOU for managing the whole thing! :D Lots of stuff to come back to in the future (and I didn't get to read everything, so some more to go through when I have some free moments).

However - I'm thinking crossword puzzles are beyond the realm of proslib, but I'll ask. (And I'm playing around with another one now...)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I've not read everything myself yet - and I forgot to print out your crossword on Friday too! I must get my new laptop hooked up to the printer here...

I wouldn't discount anything from ProsLib, you know, they've got all sorts of things on that CD, including graphics... *g*

[milomaus.livejournal.com]

Thank you and everybody for all the work and thoughts and love that went into this lovely collection!
It was sooo much fun!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It was good fun, wasn't it! Yeay! *g*

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Apparently you can currently open a comm account on Dreamwidth and import everything from LJ as a mirror comm. I don't know too much about it but it sounds like a good thing to do - the more places the better, etc. Somebody else might know...

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I was thinking more of sending stuff off to the different existing archives, ljs and websites rather than creating brand new blogs etc, but if people fancy want to open mirror ljs then I suppose they could... *g*

Thank you for organising this again ♥ I still have a fair few to get through, so I'd best get to it!

[margaret-r.livejournal.com]

Thanks for organising such a great Christmas treat and all your hard work. It was a month full of delightful goodies:)
