And that wraps up the start of 2018. Great work everyone! We had plenty of extra Yuletide love running through the month. Hopefully that helped you all through the extended post-holiday hangover. I know it did for me. ^^

Congratulations to all who took part and, once again, if you have any feedback, don't hesitate to let me know. I think there's talk of trying to make some changes to how this is a run (like a banking point system), but I'd really need some outside help as far as brainstorming goes. Especially on the prize front, because I'm drawing a total blank.
Do let me know if you guys would like to see more themed bonuses akin to the oneshot special in the future, as it's something I'd like to do more of. And if you think there's a fic that you'd like to put up for Hidden Gem consideration, please PM me. I was thinking it might be nice to rotate the featured fic around more often than just every month (or have multiple featured fics in a month to spread the love around).
The new featured fic is: snowstorm on the yellow sea (V.2), by roule! A review will net you 10 bonus points.
Best of luck to everyone choosing to participate in February, which, unless you're a time lord, has already started!
