Roundup: The Mane Event exchange

[firecat]

The Mane Event is a multifandom gift exchange "for all things hair-related." I think this is the first year it has run. 22 people signed up and 42 works were posted.

I wrote two works—one assignment (Agatha Christie's Poirot) and one treat (Greek myth, Asterion the Minotaur/Icarus).

I received a wonderful art gift (Sherlock Holmes, Doyle)—from my assigned recipient! (We share several fandoms!)

I hope this exchange runs again.
