Dear football betters, writers and readers!

Another round of football betting and paying debts has come to an end. Without further ado, allow me to present reveals and masterlist:

( The Masterlist )

( Guessing Game Results )

I want to thank the participants, readers, and commenters. hp_footballbets is only a very small fests, and we, the mods, were stunned by the great response it was getting. You were fabulous, ladies! ♥♥♥

Much love to tetleythesecond, best co-mod ever, who had to run great parts of the fest all alone when my internet provider decided I could go without web access for another week after my move. *hugs* (To Tetley, of course, not to that company.)

And now I stop babbling. Hope to see you again at the next big football event!

Dear fellow betters and readers!

With yesterday's bonus ficlets, posting at hp_footballbets has come to an end. Time for another round of fun:

( The Anonymous Masterlist cum Guessing Game poll )

Reveals and Masterlist will be posted Saturday next, so you have a week to guess the author, and to read and reread while the stories are still anonymous. Please don't forget to leave a comment.

And if you love a story so much that you want to rec it, please comment here with a link to your rec. It would be brilliant if we could send a hot rec or two to the Daily Snitch.

Have fun! :)

Author's Notes: Written shortly after I signed up to do this, as I assumed, given my complete lack of football knowledge, I surely be paying up, and not realizing there would be prompts to work from later. So, now it’s my gift to the Mods and all of you to thank you for this wonderful fest. I hope you enjoy! Un beta-ed, so I’m the one you need to forgive for any mistakes.

( The Winner Takes All )

With yesterday's fic, regular posting has come to an end. But as is proper for a football match in which there are only winners and no losers, there'll be two short rounds of extra time. Here's the first one.
