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!

Yes! Thank you for running the fest- so excited to be participating this year!

I definitely agree- there is a lot of mystery surrounding the first war and the marauder era characters. Especially Peter! I sort of wish we knew more but at the same time it's nice to have the empty space to fill it with our own ideas and headcanons!

the empty space to fill it with our own ideas and head canons!

Yes! It's like a little sandbox JKR left just for us. For a long while I though the First War was going to be far more central to the conclusion of the books than it was, and I was disappointed at DH. But now I'm grateful that there are still so many empty spaces left for me. And, honestly, I'm much more expected about continuing to write about Lily and Remus and Sirius than I am about Voldemort.

Yes I completely agree! Loose ends can be frustrating but so fun to play with!
