The collection for the 2021 Heavy Artillery Holiday Fic Exchange is now live and available for your reading pleasure! You can check it out here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/HeavyArtilleryHolidayExchange2021

We were also fortunate enough to have several folks write treats for our participants this year, which are included within that collection, though the authors were not kept anonymous. Stories written as part of the main exchange will remain anonymous until Sunday, December 26th, when authors will be revealed.
Happy Holidays to everyone in the greater HBO War fandom! May they be filled with lots of love, laughter, and really, really good food.

I look forward to running more events for you in the coming year, and hope to see a whole slew of new and returning faces for the Holiday Fic Exchange in 2022! In the meantime, please feel free to reblog this post and share this collection far and wide so our extremely talented holiday authors receive the credit they’re due for their beautiful works this holiday season.

Love,
Mod Tec
