LIFT THE CURTAIN: REVEALS!

[stormymood]

Hello everyone!!!!



*DRUMROLLS* WE MADE IT! \^_^/
I know this year was not a good year for exchanges, which is why I'm more than happy that so many of you participated and made this exchange possible!! Thanks for participating and handing in so many beautiful fics! Thanks for putting so much work into your gift fics! <3


So: First of all I want to thank all of you! This year the whole process of organising this exchange was particularly smooth, and it's all thanks to you guys! I love holding arashi-exchange each year, which is why I would love to know from you, if you were happy with Dreamwidth as a platform? As a mod I can tell you that it was fairly comfortable here (everytime I had to log in on Lj, I battled several advertisments plopping up and the messed up tags), but I wonder if you felt comfortable here too?


Before opening the curtains and revealing everything, I would like to thank yukitsubute  and reveetoile  for pinch-hitting! Thank you, you were awesome!! <3

Also a huge thank you to all the readers who supported this exchange by commenting and reading fics!

thanks for the beautiful fic :)

[learashi]

Awww thanks dear.

[piggywhale]

Yeah! It has been super fun. Thank you our awesome mod for being incredibly patient and bare with my super lateness. You are an angel! And biggest thanks for organizing this wonderful exchange for us. It was a fantastic experience for me. Thank you!

And to my dearest writer phrenk. I had my suspicion that it might be you who wrote me such a wonderful fic. So happy to know that my guess was right 😍 I have been a fan of your work and it makes me VERY happy to receive a fic written by you. Thank you soooo much again. You have made me a very happy fangirl ❤️🌈

[satoyan]

Oh man, I am so relieved!! Your signup was a really cool way to think about it, but I felt bad that I didn't hit as many aspects of characterization that you wanted as I was hoping to, and I didn't even try for the darker plot bits... So I'm really extra glad that it worked for you. <3<3<3 Phew, hooray! <3

[eiko_lotus]

Thank you our dear Mod, for being so incredibly patience with us (me in particular) and this has been a great fun indeed. Hope to see you all around in another exchange.
And to my dear author [personal profile] himekohimura, Thank you so very much for that hilarious crack fic. It's one of my favorite and stress reliever now. :D

[yukitsubute]

Thanks so much for this great exchange, it's every year a pleasure to be part of it, 💜💚💙💛❤

And the biggest thhhaaaaannkkkkk you to reveetoile for this wonderful story!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[reveetoile]

Thank you for such a nice exchange. I had so much fun writing for my recipients and there were so many wonderful stories to read and enjoy <3

Thank you to yumn_yumi I really liked my story. It was very cute <3

As for your question mod: I like DW more than LJ now XD I got so used to this platform and I really like that you can put longer entries here than in LJ. That makes reading more comfortable in a way :D

[koi_choshi]

Thanks Mod for being so patient with me!! I've been so bad with time management but you were so cool and supportive and you even gave some reminders!

For everyone who wrote for this exchange, otsukare! And special mention to yukitsubute for that very cute and fluffy fic! I had an inkling it was you! I think you know my junba preference so much at this point that you got it well. :D

[ladyc2]

Thanks to the mods for a great exchange. It was my first time doing the Arashi exchange and i had fun.

Thanks to yukitsubute for my Kame/Aiba fic, it was great.

[cielmelodies]

Thank you so much for your work, mods, and all the participants for all the wonderful fics posted this year :)))

Much love and special thanks to xdestroying for writing that wonderful fic for me!!! :D <3 I loved it, and it was a wonderful birthday present, being posted on my birthday and all :D

[coolohoh]

Thanks to the mods for holding this exchange!

To my dear author fishydotlove, thanks for the wonderful story! Now where our sequel! XD

[fishydotlove]

[coolohoh]

A sequel? (Or sequelssss?) YAYYYY *hugs you* <3 <3 <3

Please tag me or shoot me a message when it's out! I've not been very active on DW lately... >< Thank you so much! <3

[darkdropout]

Thanks to the mods for running this wonderful exchange and for being so understanding of my circumstances during this year's exchange!

coolohoh!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for such an amazing fic!!! I will always cherish it! <33333

[coolohoh]

I'm so glad you liked it! And thank you so much for your absolutely lovely comment on the fic post! Honestly I cursed my luck a little when you got my assignment ><... None of the prompt spoke out to me... So I decided to give sense8 a go... But I totally got stuck halfway, and decided to get around it by time skipping instead :P In the end I'm really glad I forced myself to write this prompt and reading your comment made me ecstatic and I'm really glad I joined the exchange! I'm so glad you love it! <3

[lilly0]

Thanks so much for the beautiful fic you wrote for me cielmelodies I loved it to bits!! <3

[satoyan]

Dreamwidth is perfect for me! <3 Thank you to the mod for the understanding and support, and thank you to koi_choshi for the lovely fic!! <3<3

[yumn_yumi]

Am I the last one who know it is time to reveal? 😂 *i always late to know any stuff from Dw. Gomen nasai*
Because i'm using LJ with android application i'm still confused how to used Dw, I've some struggle things but its okay. I'll be okay with Dw next time.

Sankyuu for mod, Isa-san who answer my questions and remind me. And @yukitsubute -san who asking me to join this exchange. i'm enjoying to make the fic for @reveetoile -san. This is my first time to join something like this and I really enjoyed and have fun. Arigatou gozaimashu... ^ - ^

And for the writer-san, @an-anna -san. It is soooooo beautiful fic. I love it. That plot twist is something that I love so much ^ - ^

[xdestroying]

Thank you, mods, for all your hard work this year too. This exchange has been lots of fun ^^
Extra thanks for giving me an extra day to write, and for helping to give my recipient cielmelodies a pleasant surprise on her birthday. I really appreciate your cooperation on that, it made the posting of that fic even more exciting.

And thank you to akhikaru for the lovely fic. It was short and sweet, and I really liked it. With all the AUs around, it was really nice to read a non-AU fic. ^^

[fishydotlove]

It's been an interesting experience. Thanks mod for all the hard work and for being patient with me :) it's my first time participating and I had great fun doing it!

Thanks to my dear author reveetoile for writing the most adorable fic ever <3 i'll forever cherish it!
