Here come the reveals!
Both mods have a few thanks to give out in our personal comments below, but we also wanted to share with everyone the different factors that went into reveals and the stats that brought them together, shared by our little lights <3
This round we had the following:
23 fics submitted
291,820 words written
1 writer that wrote 3 fics
4 lovely pinch hitters
Mod A: I just wanted to thank you all so much for everything that you all did to make this fest a great success! I know I sound a little cheesy, but truly all of your hard work and energy really make being a mod lovely and great. I really do appreciate all of you so much, from those that picked up last minute fics when it certainly wasn't necessary, to those that wrote multiple fics (and even sent them all in before second check in!) I know writing can be difficult and stressful, and I'm sure it's not helpful sometimes to have deadlines and people badgering you on those deadlines, but you all did fantastic and there were so many fics that were just really really lovely and wonderful. Truly all of you worked so hard and I can't believe we had such a successful round. When I first started this with Mod E, I wasn't sure if it was going to be successful - I only had to hope that there were going to be people interested in our first round, hoping that we would maybe get 5 or 10 sign ups. But then we had 36 claims to start off with, and then a total of 23 fics submitted! I also wrote for the fest (can you guess which one is mine? My user is still a secret for now) but it absolutely blew my mind that we had that many fics submitted, and so many fics that were quite long too! I enjoyed every moment of this round and it makes me a little sad to say goodbye, as well as end this so quickly. But I honestly had so much fun and this isn't the last round you'll see from us, so please anticipate more to come (maybe sometime in the winter again when we've had enough time to cool down - and after we finish top!baekhyun, if anyone wants it!). Again, thank you all so much, you're all the best! Truly, truly, thank you little lights <3
Mod E: Hi little lights! Wow so the fest has finally come to an end. You know, when I first pitched the idea to Mod A, I wasn't sure if it even was a good idea. It was not the first Baekhyun-centric fic fest and I wasn't sure if people were even going to be interested. But 23 fics were submitted in the end, and that's a lot! I wanna thank all of you for writing such amazing stories. I used to write fan fiction a while back and I know the struggles you go through with each story. So I just want to thank you all so much for giving so many stories. To you that pulled through even though you weren't sure you were going to finish the story. To you that submitted several stories. To you that joined last minute as a pinch hitter. I wanna thank you all so much! As someone who is very Baekhyun biased, I was pleased with how everyone wrote him in their stories. And I'm genuinely happy that it managed to be a bit diverse in the pairs as well! I'm sad to say goodbye, but luckily top! baekhyun has just started and you will find us there! Maybe like Mod A said, we'll start another round this winter if anyone is interested. But for now, thank you all so so much for participating. I hope everyone continues to comment and give kudos to our lovely writers and don't worry, you'll find me ranting away on both top!baekhyun and my own twitter, I'm hard to get rid of! I love you all little lights, thank you for making my little fic fest into something so great, Love from Mod E <3

First of all, thank you to the mods for hosting this fest and also for being so patient while hosting it! Life can be difficult most of the times so maybe we got some hardships along the way, with people disappearing and lacks of feedback (let me hug you, mods) but somehow we made it and now it's already Reveals post and the round is over!
I really hope there will be another round soon (in winter just like you stated) and I would gladly join again!
Secondly, thank you so much for all the writers who had participated along with me, we did it, guys! We made the round so colorful with various genres and Baekhyun pairings! Thank you for writing such amazing stories, although I haven't read some of them but I will find some time!
The last but not the least, I'm so happy to have written three fics! From all the fics I have written for some fests, I love the fics I wrote for this fest the most!
Thank you so much to everyone and most importantly to the mods! Fighting with top!Baekhyun!❤❤❤
