The two mods for The Baekfest this year were paradisist and lababoreine and their messages are included below.
paradisist:
"What a crazy time it's been - from the day baekfest was born from a spazfest on twitter to an actual baek fic exchange! It took 3 months for baekfest to run its course; thank you for believing in us, supporting us and giving us such quality fics to host on this exchange. I can't thank co-mod lababoreine/queen reine enough because without her, things would be a mess, both of us slogging in front of our coms and formatting endless html. It's been a hell of a great ride with reine and i'm glad we've gotten closer now. Hope everyone had a lot of fun be it reading or writing for baekfest, thank you tlist for all the support and THANK YOU all baekfesters who've come on this crazy journey with us! <3"
lababoreine:
"Us mods have been working on Baekfest for so long that it almost feels like I've been broken up with now that it's over >///< I cannot possibly thank my comod, Swee, enough. She was there to walk me through late nights like a mother does for a toddler (because let's face it, I'm pretty much a toddler) and help with absolutely anything. She's not only a talented writer and an excellent mod, but also a truly great friend.
Thanks to all fellow mods (across all exchanges) who have shown us support, given us endless advice (no really, sorry for blowing up your kkts and twitter dms, you know who you are), and basically been parental figures in this exchange with two newbie mods. Thanks to my twin and my wife because damn, I'm amazed you guys didn't shoot me over how much I talked about this exchange.
Most important, however, is the thanks I must give to everyone who has participated and helped out in this exchange. Thank you to all the talented writers, the avid readers who have blessed us with their comments, and those who have spread the word, caught our mistakes, and saved our asses time after time again. Baekfest would be nothing without you, and our gratitude is infinite."
Honorable mentions and endless thank yous to this year's lovely pinch-hitters who jumped in to help out the exchange out of the kindness of their hearts: exollent (1 fic), astrou (1 fic), yoake_no_sora (1 fic), hyperlydian (1 fic), cherrysoo (1 fic), gdgdbaby (1 fic), admortems (1 fic). Plus, the people who pinch-hit on top of writing their own gifts for the exchange: kaihanbitches (1 additional fic) and coppertears (1 additional fic). Without you guys, the mods probably would have died on the side of the road. Thank you.
It's been a great year! Thanks to everybody who has supported us along the way and helped catch our mistakes. We're genuinely humbled by the great turn out of this exchange. We hope everybody enjoys the fruits of these talented writers' labor.
Please continue to comment and give the fics love! Just because postings have ended and reveals are up doesn't mean that the fun is over!
We are sad to announce that as of right now, The Baekfest will be a one-time event. Both mods thank everyone for such an interesting first and last modding experience. If there are any changes to the plans, we will let everyone know through social media platforms and livejournal, but as of now, we hope we remain a fond part of everyone's memories.
You can now cross-post and reply to comments!
For the sake of Baekhyun's juicy thighs... We salute you!
