D/Hr Advent 2011 Closing Remarks

[jela_ow]

D/Hr Advent 2011 was the first time all three of us mod-ed and it has been a wonderful and learning experience for us. The fest started later than usual this year and so there were time-constraints in the part of the participants as well as the moderators. We’re very thankful that everyone has been understanding regarding this.

Thank you to everyone who was a part of D/Hr Advent 2011. Everyone’s contributions, from our authors and artists, readers and reviewers, and the betas and brit-pickers who appeared in works’ notes, helped make D/Hr Advent 2011 a wonderful fest.

Recs
D/Hr Advent is still looking for recs! If you've rec'd any D/Hr Advent art or fiction on your journal (LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, InsaneJournal) or in any un-locked post or comment, we'd love to know! Leave us a comment on this post or email dhradvent@gmail.com with a link to the rec.

Cross-archiving
D/Hr Advent is affiliated with Hawthorn & Vine, a Draco/Hermione exclusive archive. If you are a H&V member and wish to submit your D/Hr Advent work to H&V, D/Hr Advent has a dedicated sub-category under LJ Communities at dhr_advent.

Acknowledgements
In closing, we’d like to thank our pinch-hitters: ningloreth, eilonwy, deirdre_aithne and starduchess. Thank you so much, your work was greatly appreciated by both ourselves and the community at large. Special kudos to go herbeautifullie for her gorgeous graphic design work on all the story banners, promotion banners, community icons and the LJ layout.

Thank you to everyone for a fantastic fest, and we hope that you’ll join us next year for D/Hr Advent 2012.

Very Best,
Kyri07, Jela_Ow, and Boundbooks

And I play with the random icon button instead of remembering to type the rest of my comment.

Thanks for taking up the banner of this year-end fest, and THANK YOU for hosting it on AO3. I love being able to control/edit/examine my submission right up to posting day, rather than having to email a mod AGAIN each time I notice a typo.
