Nino Exchange Reveals 2012~

[nino-mod.livejournal.com]

Reveals, yesss! We made it!

First -- always first -- thank you so much for participating. This exchange wouldn't be possible without you writers and you readers and the enthusiasm you all have for it. Running an exchange can be surprisingly stressful, but knowing you're having as much fun as you are makes it all worth it.

And of course, thank you to my special helpers -- those of you I tapped for beta jobs, as well as our super pro pinch hitters: alphie_damiek, harinezumi_kun, ltgmars, and primroseshows (who offered to pinch even though she wasn't participating in the exchange to begin with, what a star ♥).

And without further ado, here's the table!

Eeeee reveals! I'm sorry that I'm so late at reading all the fics and I haven't been around much for commenting or anything.... BUT thank you arashiforyou for the great fic and thank you nino_mod for everything that have happened during the sign-ups to your very last email (personal encouragement and not), and congratulations for all the writers for pulling it through! I'll wait patiently for next year's exchange and hopefully I can join it for the third time ♥

So ridiculously true. YOU TWO ARE SO SNEAKY!). ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ You're the bestestest mod ever and I had a lot of fun with my first Neenexchange!

Thank you so much darkdropout <3
I think I became incoherent for a moment when I read that you were the one who wrote a fanfic for me <3 I tried to guess who was the author, but I didn't have a clue. And.. I don't know.. I'm so so happy now <3
I'll treasure that fic forever <3


And thank you nino_mod for being amazing. I really enjoyed this exchange and I hope I can join next year too <3
You are so nice and patient. Thank you for everything :)

[airairo.livejournal.com]

[g-esquared.livejournal.com]

jess omg JESS how are you so stealthy. this explains so much. i am sorry writing this was so taxing on you but please know i seriously loved it and homg FIRST NEENCHANGE AND I GET YOU. TO QUOTE YOUR TITLE, NEVER BETTER.

to the mod, i frequently declare my love for this and you (...okay do i? or am i just thinking it all the time ;_;) BUT ONCE MORE CAN'T HURT. already stewing in anticipation for next june. :D

[harinezumi-kun.livejournal.com]

geeeeee ♥ no worries, it was the good kind of taxing and i am so, so happy you liked it ;_;

[harinezumi-kun.livejournal.com]

OMG SCREAMING MY FIC WAS BY PRIMROSESHOWS!!!! DDDD: primroseshows, thank you SO MUCH for my fic, i love it, and it has spoiled me for exchanges forever, i'm pretty sure XD

and thank you inez for running this exchange again! it was great, great fun and i can't wait for next year :3

[primroseshows.livejournal.com]

haha surprise!! Actually I was super pleased when I got your assignment, because I am a HUGE Avatar fan and I've always wanted to write Arashi in that universe, and you gave me the perfect excuse. ALSO, our headcanons for Ohno = waterbender, Sho = earthbender, and Jun = firebender matched 10000%, so clearly it was destiny! ;) high fiveee

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU FOR BEING A CHAMPION with pinching and everything. Champion pincher, yeah, I hope you like that title.

For real, you and your fic brought me much joy. ♥

[tonieboo0013.livejournal.com]

I haven't gotten the chance to read many of the fics posted (I barely had time off work to finish my own fic :|) BUT I PLAN ON READING AND COMMENTING WHEN I GET THE CHANCE!

A very large dose of appreciation to icecreamsuki for the fic! Thaaaaank you ♥

AND A VERY LARGE MILKSHAKE OF LOVE TO THE MOD. WHO IS PATIENCE INCARNATE.



Until next year, folks o/

[aridseas.livejournal.com]

Thank you to mynamelessname for my fic! It was lovely and honestly a sweet pick me up at a time when I needed it. ♥

I also would like to apologize again to nino_mod for pulling out of the exchange. If it's alright with you, would it be possible for me to still write a fic for my originally intended recipient (augustfai) even though it's not going to be posted here? I'm not entirely sure what the etiquette should be for situations like this, but I would like to write out the fic I had been planning nonetheless.

[nino-mod.livejournal.com]

You can absolutely finish up your original idea. No restrictions in that regard, and I'm sure augustfai would be happy to see another fic aligned with her interests, even if it isn't specifically dedicated to her for this exchange. :3.

[aridseas.livejournal.com]

Great! Thank you so much. I absolutely would like to write it out still, if only because I don't want you to have asked all those questions for me for nothing. ♥

[augustfai.livejournal.com]

:D!! My dear, if you find yourself wanting to finish the fic you had been planning, then by all means. It doesn't even have to be for me! Whatever you feel comfortable with. ♥

[aridseas.livejournal.com]

It will definitely be for you; especially after bothering you and nino_mod with all those questions, how can it not be? ♥ I still have a fic I'm currently trying to finish up, but it will be next up on my plate after that's done.

[aridseas.livejournal.com]

Hello! I have your fic completed (nearly a month overdue, I'm very sorry about that!) here:

http://cyanichues.livejournal.com/15843.html

I hope you'll like it. ♥

[airairo.livejournal.com]

Thank you SO much g_esquared! I absolutely loved and adored my fic. More than I can even express. ;_; <3

[g-esquared.livejournal.com]

ugh i am so pleased that it worked for you!! i actually had two other giant ideas that never made it to completion. D: by the way, your pizza boy ohno drabble is just the cutest thing ever, i think i have it memorized in my head. so i was all HOW do i write ohmiya that she will enjoy if she already does it so well???

tl;dr -- the pleasure is all mine. :3 ♥

[airairo.livejournal.com]

Aww I'm so happy you liked my drabble! Your Ohmiya was absolutely perfect. Obviously nothing to worry about! <3 Although if you ever wanted to finish those giant ideas I would be fully supportive!! :)))

♥

[heavenlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

jadeswallow Seriously, THANK YOU SO MUCH for just a heartwarming fic <3 and Inez, for being the amazing, patient, mod you are. Totally made my first ninoexchange and second exchange *ever* an amazing experience. <3

[fluffyneen.livejournal.com]

Thank you honeyporridge for writing me that beautiful story!! :3 Like I've said before I wasn't expecting what you gave me but I enjoyed it to bits regardless- let's say you opened up a new dimension to my fic-reading? (if that even makes any sense.. :/) Anyway the point is thank you so much! And of course thanks must also go to nino_modfor making my first exchange experience so smooth and enjoyable! I'll definitely stick around next year! ♥
