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 everyone, I'm new this year as well! I write under JenCala on Ao3 and JenCala28 on FFN. You can find me on Tumblr at JenCala as well.

I'm a Slytherin, wife, and mom of 2 little monsters, er lovely boys, and live in central Florida. You would think this would enable me to visit WWoHP often, but I've only been once so far. I need to go more!

I've been in the HP fandom for many years, but only got into Wolfstar a couple of years ago and it quickly became my OTP and I am obsessed with these dorks and just love them to bits. I write a lot of smut and do venture into other pairings occasionally, but Wolfstar has my heart. I do enjoy other fandoms, but I'm mainly happily entrenched in HP.

Hello fellow Central Floridian Slytherin! How about that crazy Dementor fog this morning?!

[jencala]

Hi! It was insane, wasn't it? I actually went to Orlando last night and was driving home around midnight and could barely see ten feet in front of me!

Where are you in CF? I'm in Lakeland.

It was crazy this morning!! Driving into work was an adventure, to be sure.

I live on the Davenport/Loughman line but spend a LOT of time in LBV and near USO. :) I'm so happy to see other Central Floridians in this little circle.

Hi Jencala! I'm not so far from the studios but I've only been once too! We need to up our game haha!

[jencala]

Yes we do! It's a shame, isn't it?

Did you enjoy WWoHP? I haven't been . . . too afraid I'll feel old lol

[jencala]

I felt like a kid there and I'm 42. I have many friends older than me that have gone and loved it. It was fabulous and I can't wait to go again!

Hi JenCala! I just checked out your AO3 and I loved your RS Games fic this year :)

[jencala]

OMG thank you so much!! It's honestly my favorite fic I've written.

Welcome to small gifts!! Lovely boys and little monsters are essentially the same thing. :) I live near the WWoHP on the other coast and have only been once as well. How cool to discover a whole new area of fandom that reinvigorates your interest after many years. Love it!
