Countdown to small gifts 1/7: Introductions!

Welcome, folks! Every year at small gifts, we start off the holiday season with a week's worth of discussion posts. It's a chance to get to know other participants (or say hi again), meet our readers (hi, readers! we love you!), and while away the hours before December 1. We'll have one topic per day until November 30.

Today: introductions!

1) Leave a comment letting us know who you are as a fan. (Leave your Tumblr name/AO3 name as well as your DW name, if they're different.) How long have you shipped R/S? Are you a reader? Writer? Artist? Crafter? Do you participate in any other parts of Harry Potter fandom? Are you active in any other fandoms right now?

2) Say hi to someone else!

Welcome back!!! It’s funny how times flies, isn’t it? Percy/Oliver is a great pairing. Love it. I do also love Harry/Draco. I never thought I would, but there’s also so much potential there. I guess that’s part of what I love about this stuff — rising to the challenges in the books. I can imagine that being in a smaller fandom would be fun. I would think there might even be more interaction. Although, HP fandom is certainly smaller than it used to be. :)

time certainly flies :'''D I never thought i'd be into H/D much either, and in a way I still don't really ship them...i don't see any basis in canon for it (unlike with R/S!), but...at the same time it's much easier for me to accept whichever scenario or reason or AU or what have you, for them, than for R/S. probably because i'm less emotionally invested and don't have firm headcanons for what happened during lie low at lupin's or at hogwarts or during the war, but also because for H/D it's just open-ended enough that there's more room to play. :) (and some of it is definitely spite because seriously fuck that epilogue.)

volstovic cycle is just small enough that i think most of us know each other :'D though i wouldn't mind if the fandom got a renaissance and an influx of active participants. :)
