Discovered in the Holly and the Ivy - taking down the decorations...

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It's all sadly over for another year - there are no more posts to come in our calendar... I never like making this post, taking down the banner, and closing the challenge, and posting the final calendar... But it is nice to say thank you to everyone who took part! Creators and readers and commenters all - you are what makes our Pros community a lovely thing to be part of - may your new year be lovely and Pros-y and full of many good things (including more creating and reading and commenting, I hope... *g*)

The calendar posts are now all tagged and archived - click on one of the days in the calendar, and it will take you to that person's post - or posts. (I know I've still got catching up reading and commenting to do!) Once you're on a post, you can click on the tags to find either all the Holly and Ivy entries together in one place, or all the discoveredinalj posts made by a particular author/artist/vidder (actually, I'm still working on that, but you can find lots to start with). And finally, the challenge will be added to the User Info page, and all entries can be found by clicking on the challenge banner if you ever feel like going back for a browse.

I know lots of people have archived to A03, but if you've not already done so/been picked up, do send your fic-type offerings to our Proslib archivist, via proslib at gmaildotcom for archiving to our very own Pros-only collection, too (and thank you, too, hagsrus for all the wonderful work you do to save our stories and creations!)

And I think the only thing I have left to do now is to close the calendar curtain on the challenge, with one more look at all the pretties... Thank you again, everyone!

(using my holiday icon one last time!) *g*

Thank YOU for putting this together and organizing us again this year! It's always a fun challenge.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It's so sad to put away the pretty icons for another year!

And yeay you're very welcome! *g* It is fun, isn't it!

[etain-antrim.livejournal.com]

This was a great celebration! Thanks to you for organizing and to all the participants for contributing.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Everyone did a wonderful job, didn't they! And thank you for being here too! *g*

[sw33n3y.livejournal.com]

Thanks for all your work in organizing and hosting! It's great to have all the posts just a click away, on the calendar. :-)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! *g* I must admit that I like the linked calendars alot. They were the brainchild of my original co-mod, empty_mirrors, who did all the original coding - I copy and adapt every year, and then fill in all the bits!

Thanks for all your time and effort organizing this for us - and thanks to everyone for their gifts! It was wonderful to have a present to look forward to every day.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome - and thank you for joining in too, it's lovely to have you back! And didn't everyone just do such a fab job... I miss December/early January already!

Thanks to you, sunshine!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

*vbg* You're very welcome - thank you for all your joining in!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Many thanks - for all this, for making it happen (and for beta-ing!). Here's to another great collection!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome - thank you for being part of it! It is another great collection, isn't it - how ace is everyone who joined in? *g*

[gilda-elise.livejournal.com]

It was fun participating. I do so hope you're up to organizing it again next year.

BTW, is it allowable to put the banner up on our own profile page?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

So glad you enjoyed it! I must admit that I did wonder if this would be a good year to finish, but it would be strange not to have our December/January at the comm, so I rather think there'll be an eleventh... *g*

And hmmn - I don't have any objections, as long as minori_k in particular, and perhaps also discoveredinalj were attributed for the creation - but since it was minori_k's creation, let me check with her first!

[minori-k.livejournal.com]

That's okay as long as you credits to me :-) please mention my name if you put the banner up to your profile page?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Thank you for jumping in, Minori! *g*

[jessebee.livejournal.com]

[dollidaydream.livejournal.com]

Thank you, thank you for doing this! It was a great thing to have over Christmas and the New Year! Until next time. :)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! It was rather fun to have, wasn't it... *g* See you next year!

[murphybabe]

It was fab! Thank you to everyone who was part of it. I am still reading and catching up, and I still have to comment on most things, so the fun hasn't quite ended yet for me :)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I'm still reading and catching up too - I love that lj is always here for us like that! Everyone did a grand job, didn't they. *g*

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

I'm still bouncing along at the back, catching up, puff puff *g*

Thank you for getting us all together and pointing in the right direction. I've enjoyed it all to bits.
