Thank you to bisharp for all these lovely graphics!

LOOKING FORWARD

We do plan to run an event this winter. We're debating between either a second Inter High Exchange or an event similar to the bonus rounds.

Please let us know what you'd like to see by voting here!

Lastly...yes, we're going to try to run a SASO 2016. ;D Keep an eye on our tumblr and twitter around next March for when nominations open up.

---

We're so very proud of you, and we hope that this summer is something you look back on with pride for years to come. Whether your team placed high or not, whether you worked on both or neither of your team's main round entries, whether you created a million bonus round fills or just one, this summer you probably pushed yourself hard and did things you'd never done before. Your fandoms and your ships are richer for your effort and the work you've created. Thank you for everything! You did it!!

Final reminders that all bonus rounds are eternally open for fills. You can give us feedback on the event here, where the refs will be hanging out for the next week or so.

Feel free to use this post to celebrate yourselves and each other, reminisce about the summer, and generally party hard. You all rock! See you next year! :)

Comments

Ayyyyyyyy lmao

Alcohol warning I just got home from a concert and I had a drink in the last hour and it was moonshine and I'm sorry I'm writing this while slightly still tipsy, especially considering my fear of alcohol glorification all right okay.

Anyways.

I love my team. Thank you iwaizumimemes, kougamira, baccababe, snuggy4589, and sealion for your work in main rounds 1 and 2! Thank you for all your hard work.

We had two members that had to discontinue SASO due to family stress and medical issues and, though they were not able to contribute to points in the event overall, they continued to be with the entire team in spirit.

We dedicate our work to them, as well as to twitter user @cuchavira (Betty aka Bea) whom is the biggest TanaNoya shipper I know and honestly I am a better man for knowing her and learning her frustrations with the "blanket brotp" staple for the ship. In comparison to the heteronormative bullshit and referring to Suga as "Mama" in MY OTP, DaiSuga, it became clear we needed to be the team that brought TanaNoya to substantial romo/sexual ship status and just just the "Oh they'll never be more than the most confortable friends" troupe you often find.

I'm not salty at all. (Ironically I am a member of a tournament running crew for console gaming called Salty Mayhem - and I run anime fighting games. So actually, I am extrememly salt. All the time.)

Extremely proud of my team, extremely proud of everyone our team interacted with, bounced ideas with for bonus rounds, etc. My brain isn't awake so Tadokoro is currently yelling how hungry he is and thanking everyone on the behalf the kin uh.

I should, sleep. And do this when I'm not slightly tipsy uh.

Love you guys sorry I'm pushing myself yet again and my QP Tyv is going to kick my ass when he finds out I'm trying to do feedback when I should be trying to rest- a concept I know nothing of. Uh. Oops?

Thank you again.
