Hello all,

It still doesn't feel real, but it's time for dmhgficexchange to go as gracefully into the night as we can manage. We made the decision to retire last year from having exchanges for a number of reasons that really boil down to not having the time needed to commit. Anyone running a community like dmhgficexchange knows this is no part-time gig. My life was different when I first became a mod here years ago, but things change. Life goes on. HP7 has been released both in book and film format. We have jobs and mortgages and kids to raise; educations and internships to complete; parents to care for; more responsibility than we can properly deal with. Rather than think sadly of this being the end, I'd like to reflect on what an awesome run we've had. What is it, 10 rounds? I never would have imagined. maplesugrrrl, geewhiz, reetinkerbell and I have loved doing this. YOU have made it terribly fulfilling for us, and terribly humbling too. For all the hard work we put in, we genuinely got it back in spades. Sometimes we should've just got out of the way and sometimes we got our asses kicked, but all in all, it was worth it. Your art, your talent, your hard work inspires.

If I had to share my one regret... Well, there are lots, but the one I always come back to is probably how many funny, clever or sweet little messages we received over the years that were left unanswered. There have been too many to count but I wish we could've let each of you know how often you made us laugh like idiots or feel better on a bad day. No, those words you wrote didn't disappear into the anonymous and mysterious ether of the internets. We read them even if we didn't have time to respond.

I will edit this post in the coming weeks to create an FAQ based on your questions. Please ask away in the comments.

Sincerely yours for the last time,

Tara
on behalf of geewhiz, reetinkerbell, maplesugrrrl and myself


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Are you closed?

No, we are not closed. dmhgficexchange will remain an active community. We will continue to maintain the archive of gifts as well as community memberships. The only activity we have retired from is the big one: hosting Draco/Hermione gift exchanges. We feel confident you will not lack for such fests given the options currently available.

[tbd]

I am here to announce the winner of our last ever Reviewer Award. In the end, many of you voted and for a lot of different people (something I for one love). I won't post a list of the stats, because we don't, but I felt it worth mentioning. Even though to some having a large list of people with only one or two votes might not say much, to us it signifies the variety of reviews and the variety of opinions on what makes a good review. We see it as a good sign.

The winner will receive 4 Draco/Hermione LJ icons, created by mod eucalyptus (emails will be sent).

( Reviewer Award Winner )

We wanted to thank everyone who voted and especially everyone who reviewed. This is not a wrap-up post, but I have to say, it has been an amazing round review-wise, with ups and downs and this is a perfect way to end this part of the exchange.

Last one folks!

Vote Here


(This post is short and without all my pushing, mainly because the sun is shining and I aim to enjoy it fully. But seriously, VOTE!! :D)

I would like to start off this post by thanking those of you who've already voted - we are thankful that you've taken the time to pick out your top three reviews and shared them with us. Unfortunately, the turnout could've been much better, and because of that, the mods have decided to extend the deadline, in the hope that it will bring in more votes.

The Reviewer Award is something we as mods discussed weather we should bring back or not, and when we ultimately decided to do so, it was because we think it's a fun and festive way to not just end the round (especially as we do not have Story/Art Awards) but a great way to thank those who've participated by reading, viewing and reviewing. A creator is rewarded by the reviews they are given, and we created the Reviewer Award as a way of thanking those who've taken the time to review and share their opinions. As many of the readers/viewers are also creators for the exchange (or beta readers for writers of the exchange), this becomes even more important because it's a way of give and give back.



If you, when reading this, feel that I might be pushing it just a bit, that could be because I probably am. But, we really do wish more of you voted, if only to make all of you think about what the reviews mean to you, and perhaps even change your view of them. A good review does not have to be gushy and in agreement with everything you've created - in fact, a great review might be one that points out your mistakes, if there are any, or makes you think about other ways you might've taken your story or interprets your art in a way you had not imagined. When you consider all of the reviews you have been given, you may surprise yourself by realising that the reviews that most often makes you the happiest (i.e. the gushy kind) might not rate as high as a well thought-out review that, upon first reading it, you might've felt was a bit critical.

The fact that it's a fun way to thank people who takes the time to read and view the work created is, of course, also important.


Reviewer Award Voting

Artists and Authors have until Midnight, Sunday to nominate their top three reviewers, in our effort to thank them for their participation and their help in making this exchange what it is -- an enjoyable fandom fest for all (well, all Draco/Hermione shippers at any rate!). A few of you have already put your votes in, but with over a 100 participants, the number of people who have voted does not as of yet come even close to the halfway mark of the number of participants. So we certainly would love to see more of you voting.

You can find the post HERE.


In addition, all author and artists names should now be added to their respective posts. So please have a look at your work and if something is wrong (or you would like to add a different name or change it entirely. We've used the names listed on the Master List) please say so to this post here, and it will be changed as soon as possible. I recommend visiting the gift you created, if only to save the link or the post to your memories, and to read the reviews (so that you can vote, of course!). If you were a pinch-hitter, but the red text at the top of your story stating you were one is missing, please let me know here and it will be fixed as well.

This is the official post for artist and writers to nominate their top three reviewers. The criteria you use to determine which three reviews you choose to nominate is up to each and every individual -- it can be a review that made you laugh, that made up smile, that made you think, that pointed out mistakes in your story that will benefit you in the future or that gushed and made you all fuzzy inside. It is entirely up to you.


- The nomination starts now, and runs until midnight Sunday, June the 5th 12th. [EXTENDED DEADLINE]

- You may nominate three reviewers, in order 1-3; 1 being the best, that have reviewed the gift you created.

- The Monday following, we will compile the nominations, and give out points based upon their 1-3 ranking. A post listing the winners will follow, although not necessarily the very same day.

- You do not have to include a reason for why you choose the reviews you did, but feel more than free to do so if you wish.

- Don't forget to include the name of your gift and your listed author's name, especially if different from your LJ name. This is mainly for our sake, to help us keep track when we count the votes. (Thank you!)


You are allowed, until Sunday, to change your mind regarding the reviews you've chosen, as another comes in that you would like to exchange one of the previously picked ones for. But, you need to repost the whole comment, as well as either include a note about how you've reposted due to a change of heart, or remove your previous comment (you may of course, if able to, edit the existing comment). This is because otherwise we won't know which of the first three reviews you might've elected to remove in favor of another.

We hope to see many of your nominations, to help us thank the many people who've reviewed the gifts created for this, our very last, round of dmhgficexchange.'

Comments are screened, as this is the post where nominations/votes are posted. If you have any questions or comments, feel more than free to post them here regardless, and we will answer as soon as we can.

Ree,
on behalf of myself, eucalyptus and geewhiz.

We are finally here! The big reveal, who drew, mixed, and wrote what, who participated, and who pinch-hit.

There is no question that without those that signed on to create a gift when the original participant no longer could, many of you would not have received a gift. We are eternally grateful to our pinch-hitters. We had PHs join shortly after the round started, mid-way, and during the final weeks. Some are regular participants that created another or multiple other gifts in addition to their original assignment, while others joined without already being attached to the round. Please join us in thanking them for their their generosity, their time, and their creativity. The pinch-hitters for this round are:

constantbedhead, dormiensa, in_my_blood, Jade II, Margaritama, mex, phloxness, rafiki_tiki, rainsrabble, reetinkerbell, shadowclub, somandalicious, vitalitat, and yuzuki.

Thank you to callarose for creating a gift for the whole community. This gift was not one meant for someone that later dropped out. callarose wished to give something to all of you and we thank her for her thoughtfulness.

To our participants, we thank you for joining us, for submitting inspiring and challenging requests, for creating gifts with your recipient in mind, something that would please them. We know a portion of you were re-assigned in the course the round, and we thank you for your flexibility and willingness to ensure that your fellow participants received a gift that aligned with what they requested. It's not an easy thing to do and we appreciate your hard work. All of you worked hard and have given the community and D/Hr fandom something special. Your talents touch every rating, genre, and style and we cannot say enough how valued you are.

To our reviewers, thank you for leaving feedback for the round's authors, artists, and mixer. It means a lot to know that someone is reading, viewing, and listening to the gift you've created. Letting them know what you thought, how the work made you feel, means a great deal and we are happy that you have put in the effort to recognize the effort of others. In this vein, we also would like to thank pokeystar and her exchange_bingo for reaching out to us to arrange a partnership for this round.

To the beta-readers, the watchers, the reccers, the newsletter editors, the cheerleaders, the friends-of-participants that encouraged them to keep going, we thank you. Without you the round would not have been as successful. While you may not have filled out a sign-up form, you certainly have played an important role.

And last but not least, we would like to thank ldymusyc and spadul of dramione for allowing us to post our weekly round-ups on their community in order to increase promotion of the gifts posted here.

THE LIST
Now, on to the reveals! We've arranged gifts by mix, art, and fic. After that, it goes by rating, and then date posted.

Please review the gift you have received. If you cannot find it, if it is not listed here and we've missed it, please let us know ASAP.

RE ERRORS: We have gone over this list more than once, but it is possible errors still lurk within.

- If you cannot find your gift anywhere, please let us know ASAP.

- If your name/gift isn't listed here but has been posted, please let us know and we will correct that.

- If you are a pinch-hitter and we have not indicated so "(pinch-hitter)" on the gift you pinch-hit for, please let us know. If we failed to include your name at the top of the post, please let us know.

- If there is an error in the way we spelled your name, please comment to this post and we will correct it. If we've used an LJ version and you want something else, or we've used another version and you want the LJ format, let us know.

- If there are any other sort of errors, please let us know and we will correct it.


( Master List: Darkest Before the Dawn )


We will be editing posts to insert the name of the person that created it, as well as adding the gifts to the community's memories. We will be working on this over the course of the week.

OTHER MATTERS

Reviewer Award
The master list is up, you may go forth and repost, but we still have the reviewer award. You are not required to participate, but it's always something fun to do in order to recognize the reviewers.

If you have created a gift for this round of the exchange, you can nominate your favourite 3 reviewers from among the people that have reviewed the gift you created. They can be people that reviewed before or after the posting of the master list. More info here. We will be asking for your nominations later in the week.

One last post
We will be having a 'good-bye' post at some point after the Reviewer Award is wrapped up to officially close the round, provide info on membership, and say
thanks for 10 rounds.

This is a short announcement to all participants and members that we have posted all the gifts received for this last round of dmhgficexchange! We have had more than 100 gifts created and have tried our best to keep track of everything as we went along, but if you did not receive your gift, please contact us ASAP at dmhgficexchange at gmail dot com.

All is certainly not done and over with, so have a wonderful weekend, enjoy the gifts and keep an eye out for a few more announcements, including the big reveal of the authors and artists who made this last round such a pleasure.

This story was generously written by a Pinch Hitter in a much shortened writing time. Their name will be revealed when we post our final Master List.

Title: Do You See Me? Do You Know Me? Do You Want Me? Do You Love Me?
Author: Margaritama
Rating: PG-13
Recipient: hinkykneazel
Disclaimer: In its use of intellectual property and characters belonging to JK Rowling, Warner Bros, Bloomsbury Publishing, etcetera, this work is intended to be transformative commentary on the original. No profit is being made from this work.
Warning(s): EWE, UST, Mystery, Romance, Humor
Author/Artist Note(s): This was kind of a strange one. I wrote then lost it, then wrote it and changed it. Not long (due to time) but I hope the recipient or community enjoys. I do need to be thankful for this prompt because it reintroduced me to one my fave Depeche Mode songs, “World in My Eyes.” I did my best to give you post-Hogwarts, romance, humor all whilst embodying the sensuality of that particular song which would have sent me in a different road were it not for the other requests. The timeline for this is post-Hogwarts and the year is 2007, so they are in their late twenties. I would say Hermione is 27, if I’m not mistaken.

Title: Of Revelations, Theories and Unexpected Consequences
Author: in_my_blood
Rating: PG-13
Recipient: pencil_gal
Disclaimer: Nope, not mine. Nothing but the plot and occasional (just barely there if you look really closely) humour. I make no profit from this.
Warning(s): Some mature themes.
Word Count: 5,290 words approximately.
Author/Artist Note(s): Post-Hogwarts, a little but not really epilogue compliant (I kinda took what I wanted and left the rest). Thank you so much to my beta, bunney, who helped me short notice. You caught some mistakes I wouldn’t have noticed if I’d gone over it 10 more times than I already had! And then I went and re-wrote some stuff and asked you to go over it again, which you very graciously did. :P Thank you as well for giving me someone to talk to about this. Also, thank you to the mods, not just for this exchange, but for all of them. Seriously, some of my favourite fics have been resultant of a dmhgficexchange. The effort & time you guys give up for this is astounding. I’m going to miss them. And lastly, pencil_gal, I’m really very sorry I couldn’t work the alcohol into there. Especially considering your prompt wasn’t really very demanding at all. I tried, I really did, but they honestly resisted. Apparently, they wanted to get together without the excuse of liquor...
Summary: Draco was always trying to find a way to Just. Make. Her. Stop. But what happens when he succeeds?

Warnings: Minor character death, slight innuendos, alcohol usage and swearing. (Ha ha… just noticed I wrote down no character death as a no-no on my form… oh well…)
Author Note: The last chapter. I hoped you enjoyed this little journey, I know I have. So there are a few people who deserve thanks: first off to my AMAZING beta, UnseenLibrarian, who managed to beta this story at the last second against all odds and did an amazing job battling the evil forces of my spelling (trust me, it's hard!). Second, to my best friend, Mel, who despite being a thorn in my royal ass, has been this story's most avid groupie and cheerleader! None of my stories would be written unless she gave me such fantastic compliments on my writing. Love you, Newton! May you all enjoy this journey as much as I did.

Author Note: Just a small note. I am aware that there’s quite a jump here in how Draco sees Hermione. For the record, his first conscious attraction to her was at Halloween; considering this chapter starts with New Year, they’ve been friends for quite some time, and so Draco has had time to become more aware of his attraction. Also a slight warning: this chapter contains slight sexual innuendos and a bit more. I promise not to go in to the gory details though so it should be fine as long as you’re older than 13. Enjoy.

It starts during the final battle on May 2 (my birth-date by the way), but the earliest date is some time around Christmas of DH (flashbacks galore!…Hermione reaches HQ after Malfoy Manor, I would say… instead of Shell Cottage).

Re Gifts:

- I'm a bit reluctant to say how many gifts we have left as I feel the moment we've posted the last one we will suddenly discover 3 behind the email radiator. However, I believe we have 12-ish gifts left to post. Please keep in mind I have JKR-level math skills.

- 7 look to be for individual users, 5 for pinch hitters. At this stage, if you haven't received your gift yet, it is completely okay to email and ask us about it if you are concerned. Obviously we won't tell you who created your gift, but we can let you know the status of your gift.

- You know what this means. IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! Consider the reviews you've received and the users you'd like to nominate for the Reviewer Award.

Summary: There are some adventures you can't go through without ending up liking each other, as Hermione learned in First Year. Now, it's Draco's turn to learn this lesson.

Summary: Voldemort has won. His idea for a New World Order shocks the wizarding world. Can his followers succeed in bending all to their will or can the disquieted group of battle-weary Order members band together and regain their purpose?

Warning(s): Implied Nudity, sad sad scan job of colored pencils and colored pencils that have no use for the artist weilding them. <3
Author/Artist Note(s): Well, I wallowed on this for-ev-er. I originally intended to write for it but when nothing came from my keyboard, I resorted to pencil. I sifted through hundreds of stock references, trying to get just the right idea... and in the end, I simply went back to your 'Dramione Anthem' and it led me in a direction I could follow! While I am not the best artisit, I did put effort into this piece and I hope you at the very least smile when yous ee it! :) It was created with just you're chosen song in mind, and of course with you in mind! <3
There are actually two versions of this piece! I am not overly confident in my own coloring skills so a friend of mine did a digitally colored copy of my work. Both the original, done totally by myself and the digitally colored copy are included for your viewing pleasure, Gravidy! :) We both hope you enjoy them! <3

Warning(s): Bigotry. Mentions of diseases and deaths, but nothing that you wouldn't expect from a fic set in a hospital.
Author Notes: First of all, I owe the mods huge thanks. Believe me, your patience, support and kindness will never be forgotten. Many thanks also to A. for her beta work. All remaining mistakes are my fault only. This story has gone through several mutations until reaching its final form. I'd originally planned to write a long fic told from Hermione's POV. The characters' jobs would be entirely different, and Snape would not only be present but would also play a large role in the plot. After much struggling, I had to admit that my initial plan just wouldn't work. So, I chose to write a much shorter, more to the point story. I sincerely hope that the result won't disappoint you, shiv5468. I know you'd like to see Draco and Hermione work together over Snape, but whenever I tried to write him into the story, things got out of control and headed dangerously towards Snape/Hermione territory. That's a great pairing, of course, but this is a Draco/Hermione fest. To regain control over my own rebellious plot and make sure it would qualify as actual Dramione, I had to leave Snape out of it and focus the spotlight on Draco.
Summary: Draco Malfoy enrols in a training programme for Healers to help his parents rebuild the family's reputation. His routine as a Trainee Healer includes bearing dozens of whiners, tiresome tasks and Hermione Granger.

Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with Harry Potter or the song "Brilliant Minds" by Furniture.
Warning(s): Some language.
Author/Artist Note(s): I know I didn't hit all of your prompts, but I really did try. This was as far as I could stretch the rating with that song as inspiration, but I hope you like it anyway. ^_^ Your song completely grew on me, and I hope I at least did that part justice. Thanks to my big sis and hubby for being my last-minute betas. Apologies for the lame title - I'm rather crap at them.

Summary: "Why does it feel like everyone either of us could possibly have ever known is asking me to give you another chance?"
