[smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com]

...and we've reached the end of another year here at rs_small_gifts. We've had 35 gifts from 32 artists and authors, with seven first-time participants (hurrah!) and more than few of you who've been here every year since we started in 2006. Thank you to all participants for your fic and art and your ongoing love for Remus/Sirius!

Huge thanks to those of you who read along and commented! Since we started with out introductory posts at the end of November, we've left 700 comments for one another. And much appreciation goes out to our three pinch-hitters, brighty18, chibitoaster, and kingzgurl, who helped us ensure everyone got a gift this season.

Best wishes to you all for a happy and healthy 2015, filled with all kinds of fannish adventures and joys! Our 2014-2015 master list is below.

Your mods,
magnetic_pole, mindabbles, and sambethe
