Some housekeeping items:

* 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, 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 2014 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
