My fantastic amazing gift in this year's

sshg_exchange was the absolutely stunning Root of the Matter by

noxiaa. I was completely floored by her take on a very challenging prompt. The story is magical, in every meaning of the word, and I lost myself in it. The first chapter may frighten you off because it begins at such a dark, terrifying point in Hermione's life, but there is hope and brilliance that follows.

My contribution was Behind the Dungeon Door which

shiv5468 chose as her 2nd gift (!!!!!!!!!). It was one of the few times I've let go of my internal censor and just WRITTEN without angsting over the outcome, and I think I might need to take an object lesson from the experience. Writing was actually, um, fun. Who knew? I owe my eternal thanks and the non-baby equivalent of a first born to

pokeystar and

christev for the Bingo planning chat that spawned the most brilliant idea ever: a porn soundtrack for a PWP fic that featured porn.

pokeystar's husband wrote the music featured in the story, and he deserves a million, billion kudos for delivering a spectacular soundtrack.

Huge kudos also go to

christev,

dickgloucester,

machshefa, and

sc010f for chasing away any lingering wibbles and stray commas.

Thank you to executive producers

shiv5468,

ginny_weasley31 and

scatteredlogic. What more can I say that hasn't been said? Thank you for the fantastic prompts? ;) Thanks for modding this fantastic event that brings such joy and drama (draaaaaaaaama) to our lives.

And thanks to

christev and

pearle9240 for some fabulous icons.

miss_page_54 still has some work cut out for her. ;)
