Reveals 2020
There's something very surreal about the fact that this is the last reveals post I'm going to make for this exchange. I thought I'd have a lot to say (in my heart I do, probably), and I was thinking of doing some kind of rundown of just how many words by how many authors in how many stories for how many pairings were created specifically for this exchange over the past ten years. But partly I'm lazy, and partly I believe that this exchange speaks for itself -- has been able to get to that point through a literal decade of support from each and every one of you.
So I'll just do the regular mentions: special thanks to my betas (including folks who haven't written for this fandom in years but still come to the rescue whenever Nino season comes around), and to two particularly wonderful pinch hitters, without whom we wouldn't have been able to finish our tenth year so smoothly:phrenk and selvage.
And of course, to you. Whoever you are, whenever you're reading this, in whatever capacity you've participated. It's been an absolute pleasure and honor to interact with so many talented and enthusiastic writers and readers, people who've come and gone and come back again, including more than a handful who've been here from the very beginning. I've lived almost a third of my life and met some of my closest friends over the course of this exchange, which is kind of wild to think about, but I suppose that's what ten years gets you.
So yes, you. Thank you for being here. It means so much to me.
Now, onto the reveals!
Now, while this is definitely the last time this exchange will exist in this format, I think we can still entertain the idea of having some kind of Nino Party in a different format (something like an AO3 prompt meme, which is less pressure for the writers and less work for your mod), if there's enough interest. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Also! Since the fic world has clearly shifted away from journal-based fic, I made an AO3 collection for the exchange: Ninomiya Exchange! Writers past and present, if your fic has been cross-posted to AO3, please consider adding it to the collection. Right now only my fic is in there, which is kind of embarrassing... Relatedly, I've never tried to keep it a secret, but if you didn't know specifically who I am, here's the big Mod Reveal. XD. To add your fic to the collection (when posting a new story or editing an existing story): Go to the "Associations" section, and in the "Post to Collections / Challenges" field, type in "ninoex" and this collection should appear. It would be absolutely wonderful if we could get a good chunk of the fic from this exchange in one place on a platform that's more current with the times. :3.
Hm. I think that's it! Thanks for ten years, y'all. See you around. <3

Thank you rinji_chan1 for writing this wonderful fic for me this year.
Thank you everyone for contributing to this exchange! It was my most favourite fanfiction event and it was always an adventure to join! I'll miss this, I really will! But I'll gladly keep my eyes out for any form of Nino party that might be there in the future!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! <3

First of all, I want to thank you Inez, for being this patient with me, and at the same time for giving me the opportunity of participate. This was my first year in the exchange and I had a lot of fun, I really hope to being able to write in whenever you’re planning to do.✨
