Fairy Tale Fortnight End Credits

Fairy Tale Fortnight is officially over! This is our final post, one last time to speak while you are all listening, and we wanted to take this opportunity to express our thanks.  It's a bit bittersweet actually. It will be nice for us to have our days back in our control, rather than being consumed with magic and wishes, witches and trolls, but at the same time, we're sure going to miss it. It's been a huge part of these last couple months. We have had such an awesome turn out! There were so very many awesome people who expressed interest and made Fairy Tale Fortnight a part of their April.
If you get a chance, we'd love to know what you thought of the event. :)


Personally, I want to extend a simply massive thank you to Ashley for hosting with me.  They don't make thank yous big enough.  I feel so, so fortunate to have had Ashley help me run this and keep me sane, and bounce ideas off of, and get all fangirly and ridiculous with.  It has been a lot of fun.  I also want to give a huge thanks to Bonnie, who took the Fairy Tale Fortnight idea and ran with it, and really went above and beyond to always have awesome content both on her blog, and to share on ours.  Lastly, a huge, HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in the Little Red Riding Hood video.  It started out as this crazy idea that I never thought I would get to make happen, and all of you were so enthusiastic and lovely throughout the experience, and I just want to thank you for that.

And for all of you who participated, and all of you who read the posts and shared some fairy tale love, Misty and Ashley have one thing to say to you:

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for joining us, for reading the posts, for writing your own posts, tweeting and spreading the word, putting our button on your sites, talking about it with your friends. Thanks to the authors who took time out of their busy schedules to answer emails and interview questions, write up guest posts and offer giveaway prizes, and generally make these two bloggers shake and shimmy-squee. (be glad you couldn't see/hear it... it wasn't pretty) You are all wonderful people, truly amazing and this event would not have been this amazing without you.  Again, thank you. Thank you, thank you, and we hope to see you all again next year.

What's that you say?! Next year? Yup! Fairy Tale Fortnight will return again next year. Tell all your friends.

  3. Le sigh, FTF is over. It really put me back in touch with my inner twelve tear old. You know, I watched Tangled 6 times during the event? I think FTF might have had a lot to do with that...
    Thanks for sharing so many interesting and fanciful titles! I look forward to injecting my personal library with magic. :)
