This is the tenth year for me as the main Slashy moderator (hard to believe it's been that long!). A part of me did not want to do a round this year, but I knew Keiliss would shout at me from the great beyond. Kei was an inexhaustible supporter of the Slashy Swaps and Tolkien fandom. She got me to sign up for the 2004 Slashy Santa with her. (I suspect many past and present participants can say the same - she was very good at getting people to join her in fiction exchanges/challenges.) The rest is history.

This round would not have been as easy or as smooth had it not been for the efforts of Ysilme, who volunteered to co-mod with me this year. She supplied virtual tea, a stout shoulder to cry on, endless cat pictures and has been absolutely fantastic.
