hp_may_madness

As all time zones are now well into the month of June, I guess it's time for a little statistic and wrap-up post.

I must say I'm deeply impressed by you guys. The participation was way above my expectations, and it makes me so happy to see that people have really thrown themselves into this challenge and created so much amazing fic and art.

This year was our 5th year running this fest, and we had 16 participants.

An extra shoutout goes to the five who managed daily posting, which I think is the highest number yet.

digthewriter had the highest word count (23k), wrote the longest post (4900 words), and was also the only person to create both fic and art

In case some of you feel they have a story or a series they haven't wrapped up yet, I hope you will still pay some attention to this community the next few days. Even if we have entered June.

I hope you enjoyed playing in the hp_may_madness. Who knows, we might be back next year if people still want to play...

Thank you so much for playing! nim and I are so proud of you all!
