H/D Erised 2023: A Modly Announcement
Hello, beloved H/D Erised Community!
It’s almost time for our formal fest announcement! We can barely wait for this year’s art, writing, and squee! Keep an eye out for more info, coming very soon!
But first, an announcement:
We, your loval mods, @dictacontrion, @firethesound, and @gracerene have been deeply honored to helm this fest for the past half-decade-plus. We love H/D Erised and we are perpetually bowled over by this community’s enthusiasm, creativity, support, and brilliance. We have also come to the difficult realization that our real life plates runneth waaayy over, and we won’t always be able to commit the amount of time and energy it takes to keep this incredible endeavor running. With heavy hearts, we must announce, dear friends, that it will soon be time for us to step away.
Still, we know that H/D Erised means as much to many of you as it does to us, and we want it to have a bright future for many years to come!! So….drumroll please….
We are DELIGHTED to announce a new mod-team-to-be: @epitomereally (El), @thehoneybeet (honey), and @nv-md (Ali). We are in awe of their generosity, thoughtfulness, and dedication, and we have every faith in their ability to run an amazing fest for years to come. For this year, 2023, all six of us will be working together as a transitional supermod team. Then, starting in 2024, Honey, Ali, and El will take the helm.
The three of us (Honey, Ali, and El) would like to add that we are so grateful to Dicta, Grace, and Fire for shepherding H/D Erised for five (!!!) years. Erised is one of our favorite parts of December and we are so excited for future years of Erised with you.
Most of all: H/D Erised is what it is because of all of you—your creativity, your creations, your comments, your recs, your squee, your community spirit, your enthusiasm, and your incredible love and dedication. All of us on the mod team, past, present, and future, are grateful for all that you bring to this phenomenal community, and hope to make 2023—and many years to come!!—as wonderful and exciting as ever!!
With much love,
@dictacontrion, @epitomereally, @firethesound, @gracerene, @thehoneybeet, and @nv-md
