Hello there my lovelies. This year's exchange is now live, as the first three stories have been revealed. There are a few people who are still trying to get stories in, and I've heard from all of them except for one. I have a pinch hitter engaged.

Normally, I would post a link to each story separately in this community, but for the next three days I am out of town at a funeral, so I won't be able to do that. On Saturday night when I get home, I will go back and post links for everybody if you would prefer to follow it through dream with instead of going over to AO3 and looking at the collection. If you receive a gift from one of these stories in the next 3 days, I did tell the collection to send an email to you, so you should be notified if your story comes up. In any case, please enjoy the stories for today and tomorrow and Saturday, and I will be back to see you on Sunday!

Collection is now up for posting. please be sure to post in subcollection hlh2018. Link to it is here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/hlh2018

I have invited everyone to post, and I think I managed to turn on the anonymous thingy, so yay! I guess I will know when I get the first story uploaded.

HOWEVER, IF YOU DID NOT GET AN INVITE TO POST IN THE SUBCOLLECTION OR IF YOUR NAME IS TINY NINJA, please give me an AO3 username so that I can add you in. REPEAT, TINY NINJA, I NEED AN AO3 NAME FOR YOU.

Everyone else, please check to see if you have access, and if you do not, please let me know what the right username is over there for you.

amand_r

How are we doing? I will be making the AO3 collection soon.

I have gotten a few requests for betas, and so I am opening this up here for commenting. I have at least one request that wants canon beta, so if you have that ability, let me know.

Thank you?!

amand_r

If you don't get yours, check your spam filters and then email me.

IT WAS HARD. I am sure there are incestuous repeats, but nothing younger than two years, so meh.
