hp_beholderAnd here we have it, the 55 stories and works of art from this year's hp_beholder exchange, now with names attached. Authors and Artist: you're at liberty to post your work wherever you want!
Once again, stories that were too long for a single IJ post were hosted on the HP Beholder Dreamwidth community. If anybody would like a Dreamwidth invite, email me at beholder.mod at gmail and let me know. Art, however, I still hosted on my own website, so Artists: please give me the new links for your art as soon as you re-upload, so that I can update the coding. And Authors: if you'd like me to add a preferred redirect for your stories, just let me know!
There's also a collection on the Archive of Our Own (AO3) for those of you who are interested in adding your hp_beholder fic. You can find the collection here: http://archiveofourown.org/collections/hp_beholder
If you'd like to add your stories to the collection but don't have an AO3 account, let me know and I'll arrange for an account invite.
(note: the AO3 is currently unable to host art, but...someday soon?)

STATISTICS!
As I've done before, I've put together some stats for those of you with a kink for number-crunching:
Fic/Art by Pairing Category
(more than 55 total due to multiple pairings in some stories. Note: last year's totals are in parentheses...make what you will of the statistical changes.)
Slash - 20 (22)
Het - 42 (31)
Femslash - 11 (19)
Threesome (of sorts) - 1
True Love (i.e., pairings that appeared more than once)
Petunia Dursley/Vernon Dursley - 3
Percy Weasley/Viktor Krum -2
Severus Snape/Minerva McGonagall - 2
Severus Snape/Petunia Dursley - 2
Characters who were the focus of 3 or more stories/works of art (Note: there were 63 different characters represented in this year's Fest)
Severus Snape - 15 (Hands down, the most popular character, even though he isn't on the official Beholder character list, which...might have something to do with the moderator's magical powers of persuasion :)
Note: speaking of Severus Snape, I'd like to extend a public - and much belated - thank you to snapesgirl for the fantastically adorable knitted Snape she sent to me earlier this Beholder season. If I weren't technologically challenged to an alarming degree, I would have already posted photos of him in my home (Young!Snape is nestled beside a stuffed polar bear, i.e., my animagus form - and, no lie, my cat is currently kissing him as I type this. *g*), but I found photos on her journal here. Thanks so much, my dear!
Ahem. To continue...
Andromeda Black Tonks - 5
Minerva McGonagall - 5
Alastor Moody - 4
Gregory Goyle - 4
Millicent Bulstrode - 4
Petunia Dursley - 4
Viktor Krum- 4
Abraxas Malfoy -3
Arthur Weasley - 3
Horace Slughorn - 3
Percy Weasley - 3
Vernon Dursley - 3
Irma Pince - Only 2 (but she has seven partners in one story!)
I'd like to close with a few thanks…first to all the participants and watchers who offered to pinch hit, I'd also like to thank the authors who graciously agreed to behind-the-scenes re-assignments when the usual unavoidable difficulties arose.
And finally, for the fifth year, many thanks to all our wonderful participants (and their betas!) and all the folks who read stories and admired art and left feedback and made recs in their journals and who were so positive and supportive about the uncommon pairings that are at the heart ofhp_beholder.
