If you were a member of regular sign ups who didn't receive a story, and DIDN'T write one, this means that your writer also dropped. If you were a member of regular sign ups, wrote a story, and didn't receive one, please contact me as soon as possible and I'll rectify this.
PLEASE take a moment and drop some feedback for your author. Thanks for another great year, folks.

Title: A Man Does What He Must Author:renata_kedavra Summary: The first time Erik meets Victor Creed, and the last time Erik sees Victor Creed. Recipient:a_q Request Used: "Charles and Erik try also recruit Victor during the First Class recruit drive - he is not as polite as Logan." Rating: PG Spoilers: XMFC, X1 Notes: Big thanks to aphrodite_mine and lilacsigil for very helpful and speedy betas!
Thanks also to aphrodite_mine for suggesting the title, taken from this Winston Churchill quotation: "A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality." (Erik would undoubtedly alter it to read "mutant morality.")
I want to make sure that everyone who wrote a story also gets one.
The following ficathon-ers have WRITTEN a story but haven't RECEIVED one. If you are the assigned author for this person, please turn in your fic. If you would like to write a pinch hit for them, please respond to my email, xmmmods@gmail.com
Summary: After Logan has flattened Three Mile Island, Remy returns to New Orleans, finally free of his past when it catches up with him again in the form of a fellow prisoner from his time at Stryker's.
Request Used: "Anything that follows up on Gambit, post-Origins Wolverine. I'd prefer if Rogue is NOT involved, but if she shows up that's okay."
Rating: PG
Spoilers: X-Men: Wolverine and X-Men: First Class
Notes:There's no Rogue, don't worry :) Also, this was born from the fact that marvel wikia lists Riptide as one of Stryker's prisoners in X-Men: Wolverine.
