Posting of gift fics and art is now complete!
The identities of our secret Santas will be revealed in one week, on January 6. Until that time, why not plan to do a little reading and reviewing? Browse through well-loved pairings, or discover new favorites. Immerse yourself in long stories, or admire some gorgeous artwork. And please -- comment to let the authors and artists know you enjoyed their work.

I'd like to thank all the participants for helping to make this the best smutty_claus year ever -- thank you for your enthusiasm, your promptness, your generosity, and your incredible talent. Y'all are awesome. Many thanks as well to lunalovepotter, my elf who helped me out behind the scenes. *snuggles her* I also want to recognize some very special people who've been a part of this community since the very beginning: our 4-time participants. Much love to coffee_n_cocoa, florahart, karasu_hime, leni_jess, nightfalltwen, oh_honestleigh and purebloodgryff -- the best participants a mod could hope for! *gathers them up in big Molly Weasley-esque hug*

One of the things that sets this community apart from others is that every participant in smutty_claus gets a gift, every time we do this fest. This would not be possible without the assistance of pinch-hitters. Thanks to everyone who volunteered to fill in -- whether I needed to call on you or not, just knowing you are there makes me sleep easier at night. Much love to the speedy, flexible, and extra-generous people who stepped up to the plate when others were unable: antosha_c, ragdoll, jairissa and bsafemydeers. In thanks for their special contributions, a place for each of them will be guaranteed in next year's fest.

...and YES, we are definitely doing this again! Signups start September 1, so mark your calendars!!
