Works have been revealed!

[blackemporiummod]

First: Creators have been revealed! This year was an absolute knock out of the park as far as works! We had so many truly blessed works, over a wide range of relationships, ratings, and settings! Some of the relationships for this year were brand new to the Black Emporium; others, old faves.

But they have all been fantastic. Today, in the hours before reveals, we managed to give treats to EVERYONE who signed up this year! While treats are never mandatory, the BE mod team finds it incredible that we have so many people who are willing to put in extra work to make sure everyone can have a little bit more rare pair happiness!

If you would like, please feel free to advertise your works on your tumblrs/other social media now, redate works if you wish to today’s date, and/or make rec lists of works in the exchange you’ve enjoyed! IF you at us with recs lists, we will reblog them here!

If you haven’t yet, please visit the collection and leave some kudos/comments for our writers and artists!

Thank you to everyone who participated! Thank you to those who were able to leave feedback on various works in the exchange, those who wrote their assignments, and those who wrote treats as well. We have always been impressed by how giving this community is — this year has been no exception! Thank you for warming the cockles of Xenon the Antiquarian’s heart — and believe us, that’s hard to do. Even Thaddeus Gigantus Crumbum the Third cracked a smile when he saw your generosity!

However, we also know that this was a year of adjustments for BE as well. Since we changed sign-up forms this year, we’ll be circulating a request for feedback within the next twenty-four hours. This will be to re-evaluate changes from this year as well as various ways we’ve done BE in the past. We really encourage you to leave feedback; the form is anonymous because we want to capture people’s true thoughts. Feedback like this really helps us figure out how to develop BE for future rounds. We will be soliciting feedback for a couple weeks, and then mulling it over; by the time the next year’s round starts, we will notify you of any new rules or procedural changes.

Thank you once again, and we look forward to seeing your feedback (and seeing you next year)!
