Happy Christmas Eve! :) Thanks for joining me for this last edition of MFAC. It's been a great 10 years and I'm sure it's gonna be weird not to do this next year, but it's also gonna be nice not to stress about it.

I didn't really ask for help this year but _bettina_ still offered to do a guest entry and to post entries while I was ~on the road~ Thank you so much for that, B! :*
And thanks again to all the helpers over the years, I would so not have been able to get this done some years without all the guest entries and icons and fics and fanmixes and podfics and wallpapers and art people contributed. Forever grateful! ♥

I also want to thank everyone following this little thing, esp. those who took the time to comment on various or sometimes even most entries. You will never know how much I appreciate it :') *group hug*

And now, with one laughing and one crying eye [that's what we say in German, sorry if it sounds weird in English!], on to the last door! December 24th:

Picture:

This is Fireworks and Freedom by Sybille Fischer-Bradford, which is the December picture in my art calendar at work and I just thought it was really pretty :)

Recs:

Make the Yuletide Gay (Popslash) - for me this is THE original secret santa story exchange and I love that it's been running since 2001.

Yuletide! (rare and obscure fandoms) - this has also been around since 2003 already, apparently. Amazing. You can always find fun stuff for things you never knew you desperately needed fanfic for :D

Vid:

Starships! by bironic - excellent multi-fandom space vid. so many great fandoms! so well done! <3

Enjoy! :)

It's been as always a pleasure to help out! Saba, I wanted to thank you for a great fannish advent tradition over the years and I'm very sad to see it go! I've always enjoyed it so much and thanks for all the work you've always put into it! *hugs*

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Bettina, I have no words to say how grateful I am for all your help throughout the years, thank you so much! <3

And it makes me so happy to hear how much you've enjoyed MFAC and I appreciate all your comments telling me so all this time :) :*

Thank you for running this for so long.

I love mfac, seeing what you posted was always a highlight of my holiday season, and of course, it's due to mfac that I sort of got to know you better, so for that I'll always be thankful.

Happy Christmas, Saba. May it be happy and joyful for you and everyone around you ♥

Thank you so much for all your work over the years to make our fannish December that much more memorable! (I really don't know how I'll manage without it in the future - it just won't feel like December :-)

I love that vid so much!

[mfac.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Turlough! You contributed so much to mfac and I'll forever be grateful for that! <3

Also, always makes me happy when people say that this was an important part of their holiday season :')

Right? It's such a great vid!

That is a fantastic picture. I love the feeling of energy and joy. Also let the fic binges begin! Also also what a cool vid!

And more than all those alsos, thank you very much for putting mfac together for all these years, and making the season so much more festive and joyful. ♥ ♥ &SABA; ♥ ♥

Thank you, Saba, for all the work you've put into this over the past ten years. I've enjoyed every bit of it, and I'll miss it. :D This icon is one I got from, I think, the first year you did this.

[mfac.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Donna, for being around all these years and making me happy by commenting :) <3 Also, yes! I recognize that icon! How awesome that you still have it! :DDD
