A few housekeeping items:

* Posting. We began with two gifts per day, but from here on out, we'll have one per day for the rest of the month. Every other day, we'll post links to new gifts at remusxsirius and rs-small-gifts.tumblr.com. Let us know if there's anywhere else we should be advertising our gifts.

* Commenting. Please keep an eye out for the gift someone has created for you and comment when you see it! There's nothing more anxiety-producing than waiting for a recipient to reply. If you're going to be offline for an extended period and you haven't received your gift yet, just let your mods know--we'll notify your gift-giver that you'll be back soon.

* Reposting. Once the gift you've created has been posted here, feel free to repost it to your own journal or archive. We've set up a collection for Small Gifts over at Archive of Our Own if you want to post your fic there, current or past. Just add this year's work to the Remus/Sirius Small Gifts 2013 subcollection.

* Recing.If you rec a gift at your journal, would you please drop us a note here to let us know? We'll keep track of recs and notify the Daily Snitch when we see three for any gift.

* Did we mention how much we all love comments? Leave a word or two for a creator if you enjoy something!

Your mods,
Sam/sambethe, Min/mindabbles, and Maggie/magnetic_pole
