Being naughty finally pays off

Here it is -- the master list of all art and fic posted in smutty_claus in the fifth fabulous year of the fest. All stories are also mirrored at our JF community.

I hope you enjoyed this year as much as I did, and will join us again in 2009!

( Specialis Revelio! )

Our Secret Santas' identities will be revealed in one week. Until then, why not plan to do a little reading and reviewing? Our authors and artists may be anonymous, but they still love to read your comments. Immerse yourself in long stories, or admire some beautiful artwork. Rediscover old favorites, or if you're looking for something new and different, try one of the 23 pairings that was introduced to the fest this year: Binns/Pince, Cedric/Angelina, Charlie/Luna, Draco/Rita, Draco/Rose, Lysander/Lily II, Lysander/Lily II/Lorcan, Michael/Hermione, Oliver/Hermione, Ron/Lavender, Ron/Susan, Scorpius/Rose, Seamus/Lavender, Sirius/Rita, Snape/Charity Burbage, Snape/Hermione/Draco, Snape/Hermione/Lucius, Snape/Pansy, Snape/Rita, Teddy/various, Teddy/Victoire, Theo/Pansy and Tom/Minerva.

I'd like to thank a few people for helping me out behind the scenes. Thanks to my elf lunalovepotter, and to pocketfullof for making a couple of posts when I was busy with other stuff. Thanks also to florahart for helping with a story, and to cheapxdate for going above and beyond. Thanks to everyone who volunteered to fill in -- even though I didn't need to call on you this year, just knowing you were there helped me sleep easier at night.

2008 was the smoothest fest I've ever run, and that's because of our wonderful participants. Thank you all for being a mod's dream come true. You're talented, enthusiastic, responsive, and above all you really capture the spirit of giving that this fest is all about. You've made this fest a joy to run, and there's just no way I'd miss it next year.

Mark your calendars for signups on September 1!

Author's notes odogoddess, you asked for "a clueless Snape/seductress Pansy moment", and "Slytherin motivations". I hope Snape is sufficiently clueless, here! The motivations (real or imagined) are thick on the ground. You should find a few other things you asked for. I hope it pleases you.
Thank you to my beta reader S and her good eye for significant detail, and to smutty_claus moderator r_becca, whose patience is unearthly.
