Thanks to all! Our master list for 2012

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Thanks to everyone for being a part of this year's festivities! With one final bonus fic, Small Gifts 2013 draws to a close. (And your errant mod Maggie offers you an apology for her belated gift.)

We posted 42 gifts this year (four pieces of art, one podfic, and 37 fics), the work of 36 different authors and artists. We saw our first podfic this year (yay!), dipped our toes into tumblr, and opened up a Small Gifts collection over at Archive of Our Own.

Thanks to our artists and authors, who proved that there are thousands more tails tales to tell about these two.

Commenters, reccers, betas, and cheerleaders, we love you! Your feedback keeps us all going.

A happy, happy 2013 to all!

Your mods,
Maggie, Mindabbles, and Sambethe
