Mini Fest

Thank you to everyone who participated in our December 2010 holiday fest. We’ve had some amazing entries from some very talented people, some writing their very first fics. We had a total of 45 entries this year. 10 pieces of art and 35 fics.

Thank you to my co-mods; remuslives23, nursedarry, torino10154 and especially red_day_dawning, who was my go-to person when I had computer hassles. I couldn't have done it without you ladies!

I would also like to extend a special mention to whitestar_alpha who helped me compile the prompts list; and also to the wonderful werewolfsfan for her tireless efforts searching out the recs all of you made. Thank you lovelies!

If you intended to participate in our defunct July challenge and didn't give us a link to the entry once it was posted at your journal can you please do so in the comments? I'd like to include them on the masterlist. :)

Without further ado, the 2010 mini_fest Masterlist!
