Countdown to small gifts 1/7: Introductions!

[smallgiftsmods]

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!

Hi!! I’m Kat, snax0 here on dw and humanveil over at tumblr (and ao3).

I got into R/S when first reading the books. It was my very first HP ship and is actually what got me into HP fic, but I only started writing them last year (I think). I’m a writer and reader (and sometimes artist), and am active pretty much all throughout the HP fandom.

I’ve been active in a few fandoms over the years, though currently I’m only writing for HP and Star Wars. My interests tend to fluctuate a lot so it’s always different, but HP is always the one to pull me back.

This is actually my first year of actively participating in LJ/DW fests, so this is my first time with small gifts, and I’m so excited!! I can’t wait to see what people create.

Welcome to small gifts!!! R/S is what got me into this as well. I am so excited that so many new people were inspired to join this year. It makes me giddy that after 12 years, we have more participants this year than in the last 5!!
