HD Holidays List is Up!!!!!

OMG I am so excited!!!  And a little bit sad, too, since it's never easy seeing some of your favourite authors passed over.  I may or may not have said, "NOOOOOO!" a few times, but I also said "OMG YAAAAAAY!!!!" so I was very conflicted by the end of the night and dreamed my friends turned into zombies and came after me.  (Not joking, I woke up at 2am in a cold sweat with heart palpitations.  None of you turn into zombies, okay?)  We would love to have kept everyone in, but then we would be posting fics until Valentine's Day and no one wants that.  (Shush, those of you that DO!)

ANYWAY, I am happy to see such an amazing mixture of seasoned and new writers this year.  Some of the new people came from other fandoms and all I can say is H/D FOREVER!!!!!  WELCOME!  I can hardly wait to see what you guys come up with.  Many more of you have either been lurking or just haven't made a previous H/D Hols lottery, so congratulations!

And then there is the ART!  I am salivating with gleeful anticipation, I kid you not.  *rubs hands excitedly*

Also, many many thanks to everyone already volunteering to pinch hit.  While it would be nice if no one dropped out, we know that life is a pain and unforeseen things happen, so we have little doubt there will be some bailing.  We'll be posting a pinch-hitter post later, so be sure to keep your sign up sheet handy (or fill one out if you didn't sign up on the main post) and we'll also need people with beta skills to assist the newcomers, so keep an eye out for the beta sign up, as well. 

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE THAT MADE IT THIS YEAR AND TO THOSE THAT DIDN'T, WE STILL LOVE YOU! 

*TWIRLS EVERYONE*
