Work Text:
ROUND 2 of NCT Write Write! has officially come to an end, and boy, what a fantastic round it's been. Whether you've made it to this post as a prompter, a writer, a reader or even as someone who has supported us or someone taking part from afar, your contribution has meant the world to us, and we cannot thank you enough for coming along with us on this journey.
This Round, we were lucky enough to receive an absolutely unbelievable 1,579,228 words written across 113 fics by 110 extremely dedicated, talented authors. We would like to give a special mention and our sincere thanks to cottoncandyboys, kaipou and renhyuck for writing two fics each and really blowing it out of the water!
✧ A note from the Mods ✧
Before we get into the reveals, we would like to share a few words with all of you to properly and sincerely say our goodbyes.
Enrara is something that we have poured a lot of our time, effort and love into, because we really wanted to organise something that people could enjoy. Right off the bat with Round 2, we were taken aback by the sheer volume of responses we received. When we were sitting together and talking about our hopes for Round 2, we never in a million years could ever have expected that we would reach the finish line with so many of you beside us.
It has been the greatest challenge, but also the greatest honour for us to have worked with you all over the last 7 months, and we really hope that we have made Enrara a good experience for you all.
We know that we haven't been able to meet the expectations of everyone out there. We've seen some of the messages and tweets, and we would like to apologise that we couldn't make this a better experience for everyone who was disappointed. We hope that you know that we never endeavoured to hurt or upset anyone. We just ask that any messages be sent directly to us, instead of to writers and readers, who are not responsible for the running of this fest, and do not deserve the hurtful messages that have been sent.
Enrara, at its core, is a fest aimed at creating opportunities for people to do things they love: reading, writing and enjoying these activities in the company of other members of the fandom. We have had the best time talking to all of you, and seeing your excitement and happiness throughout the Enrara period. It has been a true joy reading your tweets and emails, and we've come across some of the nicest people while doing so. Thank you for every kind message, every word of encouragement and every 'thank you' you have sent our way. We will continue to treasure all of it.
It has been no easy feat for many of you to complete your works—we are well aware of this. We want to thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, for persevering and giving it your absolute best. Please know that all your efforts are so appreciated. To borrow from The Joy Luck Club, our well wishes come from afar (probably) and carry with them all our good intentions. We wish you all the very best, not just in your writing and any future fests you may be participating in, but in your everyday lives as a whole! We hope that you will be proud of your work, the way we are, and know that many, many people are out there, feeling thankful for all of your efforts.
The last thing we would like to talk about is Enrara and its future. We have seen a number of people talking about 'next time' and 'next year'. To be truthful with all of you, we can't promise there will be a next time. As much as we have enjoyed the last two rounds, we're not sure if the two of us are at the right stage in our lives where we can commit the time to bring Enrara back for a Round 3 in the near future.
This isn't goodbye for good, so much as it is an open door. We'll still be around, and we'll be here to support you all and the future of the NCT ficdom. But in case you don't hear from us for a while, we hope you know how thankful we are for all of you! If you've made it to the end of this longer-than-necessary section of the post: THANK YOU! We would never have made it here without your love and support. Truly. Thank you for being with us all these months.
Goodbye for now, and please continue to support NCT and the NCT ficdom with even more of the love and warm-heartedness you have shown to us and to Enrara!
We love you all ♡
