Post of great thanks and admiration for the retiring Erised mods

[birdsofshore]

First of all, it always feels so ruddy awkward posting after a massive break, but I'll dispense with the shuffling around and just go for it.

Yesterday I signed up for hd_erised for another year and realised I had not acknowledged anything about the fact that some of the mod team are stepping down. Erised has been one of the absolute highlights in my fandom calendar and I can't really think about it without getting a mix of excitement, nerves, joy and amazement. The amount of work the mod team have put in each year is phenomenal and I have no idea how they manage to keep everything running so smoothly and make it the glorious experience that we love. Each time my assignment has challenged me to do things I didn't know I could do, and I know other participants have experienced the same, because the work that has been created for Erised is among the finest that we have in this fandom. Also, most years I was a monstrous pain in the arse with deadlines, and the mods always worked with me to make sure I could still submit.

I want to say a very heartfelt thank you to gracerene , capitu  and sassy_cissa  for their patience, care, love, dedication, kindness, and hard work which always went above and beyond, for creating something which has been like no other fest. ♥ ♥ ♥ 

 

And good luck to the incoming mod team along with grace who is sticking around for another year!

What a lovely post, and I could not agree more with how much hard work, time, and energy Capi, Cissa, and Grace put in. ♥

Seconding this post of gratitude for the phenomenal Erised mods and a big supportive cheer for the new incoming mods! Not an easy fest to wrangle by any stretch and it is always seamlessly run, and a great delight to be part of. I'm so, so thrilled you're taking part again this year. I can't wait to see what you come up with! <3
