Finally it's over!

I'm literally about to post the VERY LAST FIC! Other than that, all of the secret santa fics have been posted and I am currently working on the reveal! I will be posting the reveal as soon as I can, so if I get on with it it will probably be in the next 3 or so hours! :)

Go check out your own fic if you haven't already! <3 They have all been amazing!

I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone for making this thing as amazing as it has been and run as smoothly as it has. Aside from a few hitches which you guys have helped me out with I think it's gone pretty smoothly.

A big sorry to everyone who I have bugged to get fics sent in. Obviously I am one person so I had to be push sometimes. You've all been great though and I hope you'll all join next year. The standard of the fics has been beyond epic and I have been so impressed. I can't wait to stalk everyone's stories. I haven't had time the past month!

I will be running this next year but I know a few changes that need to be made:

-Starting it early (Maybe beginning of October or even earlier ) to give people like 2 months to write the fic as opposed to a month in holiday season.

-Getting all prompts before a set deadline (maybe 1st October to say 10th December) then posting them in bulk over a set period (15th December- 30th December) rather than posting them throughout the month. It would cut down the amount of hours needed to organise it as well. Anyone who has seen the DashiDorawa LiveJournal Secret Santa will know what I mean. Obviously numbers will be taken into consideration when setting these dates.

- Maybe allowing people to give more than one prompt to allow authors more choice in what they write.

-Enlisting the help of another one or two co-authors (seriously, because posting 130+ fics on my own whilst having coursework and Christmas was no easy feat).

-I will also be posting another blog just open to suggestions for improvements that need to be made.

-I will probably also make a second account for future events because I feel bad getting the karma for the fics that you guys wrote :(

Please bear in mind that this is my first time doing this as well, so it was all a bit random and experimental! I hope you'll join next year as well I'm sure it will go better then :3

GO READ THE FICS :3

THANKYUU THANKYUU SO MUCH. I'm still a bit emotional after reading my fics so please excuse my greasiness.

THIS SECRET SANTA HAS JUST BEEN TERRIBLY WONDERFUL. EVEN WHEN I STRUGGLE WITH MY PROMPT, EVEN WHEN I HANDED MY FIC LATE. YOU'VE BEEN SO PATIENT AND WONDERFUL AND NOW IM GONNA CRY AGAIN. AND THEN AFTER ALL THOSE TIME WAITING I FINALLY GOT MY FIC. OH BUT WAIT. PLOT TWIST: I DONT GET JUST ONE, I GOT FRIGGIN TWO!!!!!!! I STILL CANT GET OVER THAT.

Again thank you thank you so so much. I am so grateful that you advertise the secret Santa in my wall. My account was pretty new and I'm not a very active aff user. I don't even write much. I feel like its fate that you happened to find my account, and that I happened to be in love with infinite. This has been an awesum experience for me and I'll be looking forward to the next one.
Love from the still crying

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID.
I swear I can't even imagine how hard this must have been because I am very honestly a huuuuuuuuuge procrastinator and this would have taken me, like, a YEAR to even do.
Seriously.
You are amazing.
Thank you so much.
Definitely joining again next year!
