Reveal Yo'self 2017!!!

[aibamods]

A Thank You From Your Mods

Unlike last year, we’re NOT going to go ahead and declare this year a success. Personally, in any case. We’re prouder than we can say about our writers. We had 19 fics submitted by 19 awesome writers, resulting in nearly 221k words, and we are in awe of all of the talent and creativity represented. In our third year, we’ve have had a steady crowd of lovely participants and we definitely experienced a more than a few difficulties, but life is life and we’re just happy that we got to celebrate the wonderfulness that is Aiba Masaki.

Special shoutouts: nicefinalbeam, thoroughlynerdy, and murrponchan for a pinch hits (2x for nicefinalbeam!!). You all get extra Aiba in your stockings next Christmas. Make sure to keep an eye out.

Finally, we move on to what you really want: reveals! See what we have for you below. :3

Thanks Mods for all the work you put into this exchange! I know I struggled a bit this year with finishing on time and you were very helpful and accommodating <3

And thank you everyone for sharing so many great stories! I didn't get a chance to comment on nearly as many as I would have liked, but I really enjoyed everything I read. (Hopefully I'll be able to comment on a few more fics now, or else later when they're crossposted elsewhere!)

It has been another really fun year for me and I would like to express my sincere gratitude for our dearest mods for being SUPER awesome (as always). I am glad to be able to participate again this year. Also, thank you all the writers for delivering such wonderful Aiba stories. I have a great time reading and there are many more I want to read, yeah!

Dearest ica_90, I should have known it's you who wrote me the wonderful fantasy and subtly angsty Sakuraiba story. The fic has your signature writing style all over it. <3<3<3 I am so happy with the reveal. Thank you soooo much for putting so much effort and heart into writing it. I LOVEEEE it! Thank you!

[astrangestorm]

Hijacking your comment to say THANK YOU. I'm gonna get REAL, sorry in advance, but I had to drop out of this exchange because I had to have back surgery over Christmas break. I wanted so much to participate but it wasn't in the cards. But being able to still get rewarded with such a great story from a prompt I never expected someone to write was so very much appreciated. Thanks so much for your hard work, it was very therapeutic to get something I really wanted when my health has been less than ideal <3

[sky_fish7]

Sorry for jumping in but oh no, that sounds really bad >.<" I hope you're doing better now and I just wanted to say that I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work again in future exchanges, hopefully :3 *jumps away again*

[darkdropout]

You are so, so welcome!! It was my pleasure! And I hope you are feeling better and recover soon!! <3

[thoroughlynerdy]

You are SO welcome! I am relieved you liked that idea and I was so happy to read your lovely comment! <3<3<3

[sky_fish7]

Thank you so much at everyone for their contributions to this exchange. I was not able to read that many fics yet and I owe some comments (typing on the phone is just annoying but rn I'm on the computer so yei xD), but will try and check out some more in the future =)

Big big THANK YOU to ahm1988 for writing this absolutely lovely amazing story for me, I REALLY enjoyed it to bits and I will definitely reread it in the future a lot! <3 Thank you again! *hugs*

[falkner]

Thank you for your hard work!
