Story Index

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

Under the cut tag, you'll find a detailed index of the stories written for the atlantisbasics challenge. They're organized by genre (gen, slash, other – thus far we have no solely het submissions), then alphabetically by title. I'll be adding additional stories as they're posted.

akire_yta and I want to extend our thanks to everybody who participated and created such wonderful works.

You guys, thanks so much for administrating this and doing all the paperwork. It's so much work and you did it so well! I've never gotten reminder notes for a challenge comm before. *g* Although obviously I need them. Thanks for bearing with me during my lateness! I really do feel bad about it and apologize again—but I'm so pleased I finished it, and I like the way it turned out.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

We've been really pleased by the response - there were far fewer missing stories this time around. And we had an internal sense that so long as something was up by Sunday, all would be fine, so no worries *g*

[ozsaur.livejournal.com]

This is one of my favorite challenges, and I'm so glad the two of you decided to do it again this year. Thank you for all your hard work.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

Yay! It does my heart good to know you enjoyed it. The benefit for me is having all these terrific stories to read *g*

[roaringmice.livejournal.com]

The overall quality of the stories I've read so far has been very high. It's quite a pleasure. I hope you do this again.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

It's been a pleasure for me as well. If there's interest, I foresee another round next summer.

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

*seconds that*

I am odd that way, I find organizing challenges fun (even when I have to hop on a plane on release day and disappear off the face of the intaweb for a week! *facepalms*)

[neevebrody.livejournal.com]

Thanks to pouncer and akire for doing this again. This was my first ever challenge and I had a wonderful experience. So many wonderful stories by so many wonderful writers. I'm sure this was a lot of hard work and in the middle of it all, pouncer even found time to beta for me, which was just awesome. If you do it again next year, count me in.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you had a good time!

[texanfan.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for doing this. It was a ton of fun! One question, why isn't my story listed?

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

Eeep! I knew I'd make a mistake somewhere! Added now :)

[texanfan.livejournal.com]

Much appreciated!
