smallgiftsmodsWe'll end this week with one more call for introductions over here. Drop by, introduce yourself to fellow participants and readers, and get to know the other folks involved in this exchange. One of the perks of Small Gifts is that we're not anonymous, and you can make new friends and catch up with acquaintances throughout the month.
December is here, and posting begins tomorrow! And while anticipation is high, your mods want to issue a challenge to you. Already, after a week of discussion, we've left 318 comments for one another--nearly half the number of comments we left for each other during the entire exchange last year, from late-November discussion through early-January bonus gifts. Do you think we can reach the high-water mark of 2010's exchange, when at the height of Live Journal-based fandom we left a total of 2,277 comments on discussion posts and gifts? We challenge you to try! Leave a comment, even a short one, on the art and fic you enjoy. Writers and artists, engage with your audience--just as you love getting comments, we commenters love hearing back from you. Let's chat about the characters and creations we love! Fests are fun, so much fun, but comments are what make long-term community.
Who's up for a challenge?
