Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Congratulations to our new writers, Admirablemonster, Aerlinn, Aipilosse, ChrissyStriped, crownlessliestheking, Elvewen, Fey, FingolfinSilme, firstamazon, Harp_Of_Gold, just_one_iota, lemurious, Nienna, Niko, SatiricalDraperies, SkyEventide, Starlightwalking, Sylanna and UnnamedElement, who completed their first swap!

That's our biggest group of newcomers yet! Please check out their stories and make them feel welcome. Thanks as well to all our veteran writers who continue to participate and make this swap a vibrant part of the Tolkien community.

Last, but not least, Keiliss has completed her first swap as a moderator for My Slashy Valentine. She's been a regular participant in these exchanges since 2004 and a fervent promoter, and I'm glad to have her!

And now, for your reading enjoyment…

Thank you both so much for running this again and making it happen, and so smoothly against all odds! You totally rock! ♥
And what a delightful collection this is again! It's also lovely to see so many new writers around.

We are so thrilled with all the new writers, really hope they make a regular habit of it. And it is lovely that our regulars are still with us *hugs*. The collection seems more varied than it has been recently and we're really excited about that.

Love that icon - it's stunning!
