Cat's Birthday HP Drabblethon 5: Epilogue... yes, all is well.
Cat's Birthday HP Drabblethon 5 was made of win. THANK YOU so much to all involved, writers (and artist) and readers! :D :D :D

Thanks to bethbethbeth and everyone else who pimped this thing in their journals and encouraged new people to come and drabble for the kitties. Thanks to the prolific reviewers - especially bonfoi, who commented on everything (and, in a nice bit of karma, received three responses to that "Snupin adopting a cat" prompt). Thanks to moreteadk for squeeing madly and staying up late two nights in a row and posting drabble-recs.

All prompts now done. Some more than once, thanks to enthusiastic pinch-hitters.
I've updated the links on the big list, so you can just click on the done! next to each prompt. There were 123 participants, and we only lost seven along the way (a few turned up late). The final count is 132 creative items: 100-word drabbles, ficlets of various sizes (up to 1,664 words when femmequixotic couldn't stop Dracoing), and one drawing.

Something for everyone's tastes, definitely! Come over and browse! *offers biscuits*

Now the cats are sleeping it off, and I'm curious: participants and passers-by, did you have a good time? Which prompts were you hoping to get? And which prompts were you totally scared of getting? Snape/Squid? (done! by _lore) Do tell. :)

Anyone else notice lots of Neville? And lots of Luna, too. Lots of Snape, as usual! And three prompts with Snorkacks. And a fair bit of McGonagall, Draco, Hermione, Lupin, Tonks, and Weasleys. Not so much of the next-gen characters.

I think I might compile a ship-count. Don't have time to count characters too. Any volunteers to scroll through six pages of comments and count the Neville-related drabbles? (Or Luna, or Snape.)
