Hi! (sostrata here from lj). I've been reading rs small gifts since the beginning and have written for two fests, including last year. I'm not participating now because I had already missed one fic fest deadline this year due to health reasons and thought I'd better not risk another. However, I would like to pretend that I am participating, anyway! I'm still trying to figure out how exactly to do that :). I don't have a dreamwidth account, but I'm sostrata on AO3.
I've been a R/S fan since...2006? 2005 at the earliest. I tried to be a fic writer both because I wanted to "fix" things in the books and because the specific types of fics I like are not written as much as others- I like book era or after Harry bonding with R/S in particular, plus happily ever after fics- and I thought I would have to write them myself. I haven't finished a lot, however, because of my health. I was out of fandom completely 2009-2016 because of extreme illness. But I'm back and, while still struggling to write, I hope that I can contribute a bit more!
At any rate, I know I will enjoy what others write for this year's small gifts. A lot of the prompts were just my kind of thing!
