A slightly-delayed wrap-up post, on account of some of your Admin team having holidays/vacations. (I know – how dare they?) But the last few days have allowed the full glory (not Glory) of our first site-wide event to sink in.
Guys, you were amazing!
Over the month 24 individuals created fics, works of art and other wonderful things. And that’s not counting the banners, which I haven’t actually done yet, but will very soon. Of those creations, 22 were stories, some of them one-shots, some seven whole wonderful chapters long, and some in-between. There were ten stand-alone works of art in addition to these.
And you loved them! Between them they garnered 684 “Likes” and 863 Comments! And we cannot thank you enough for going to the trouble of leaving those comments – each one of them is treasured by the people who put time and imagination into creating all these amazing goodies in order to share them here. They are appreciated possibly more than some of you can imagine.
Thank you, everyone, for reading, writing, arting (what? It so is a word.), looking and just plain being with us here in our shiny new fandom corner.
You can find them all here. Or click on "Browse+", then "Events" to get to exactly the same place. So that's three links above.
As for the month of September itself, including our Celebration?
Wow! You guys did us proud! In September as a whole lots of you read, looked, commented and liked – an astounding 2252 comments all told, from 121 individual commenters.

I loved this challenge, the freedom to tell whatever story we wanted to tell, and the addition of art was so cool.
I look forward to future events like this!
I haven't put pen to paper since before my accident. It was a surprise to actually have an idea. I credit this site with the resurgence of a long nearly dead talent and need. Thanks so much ladies
Niamh, that is so lovely. We're thrilled to think we may have been of any sort of help - and thank you for sharing your creations with us!
Thank you for inspiring me to write the most porny thing I’ve ever written—and that’s really saying something, LOL! This was fun as heck.

Awesome!
Thank you for creating the challenge and getting me to write again :) It felt good!
I had a blast writing Spuffy for the first time in actual YEARS. And the warm welcome back has me writing a sequel. It was incredible and I'm so proud of this archive, the community we are building here, and the support people are giving one another. We're making Spuffy memories here that will last forever. :)
Thanks to everyone who participated and commented! Comments are EVERYTHING, y'all. That is what gives people the incentive to keep writing. :)
Thanks again!
Thanks for prompting the first Buffy/Spike-leaning fic from me since 2001.
Wow, congrats to everyone!
I must say I loved creating new content for the event, it was fun and exciting. Personally I pushed myself out of my comfort zone a little bit, but it was a positive, challenging experience that gave me the opportunity to experiment with something new.
I had a wonderful time!
