We would both like to thank everyone for participating this year and apologize for at least some of the chaos. The first year of any exchange is often fraught with mis-steps and we're not immune to them. Hopefully you've enjoyed not only your gift, but the gifts that have been given to others. If you have any questions or comments, or if we've made a mistake anywhere in the unveiling, feel free to let us know. This should have everyone covered, save one outstanding fic that did not make it back from beta in time. That piece will be posted under the usual guidelines as soon as it's received. We will be going back through the posted gifts to add the Author and/or Artist information to the headers so that everyone is credited appropriately, it will just take a couple of days to complete them all. There are no rules about re-posting or linking to your journal now that everyone's been revealed, it's your intellectual property, so please do with it what you will.
Again, thank you all for making this such a success.
Without further ado, let the Santas be unmasked!
