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!

Welcome. I’m tickled to learn that so many of your favorites came from here. I can say, humbly, that I do think lots of great things are created for this fest. I think that it might be at least partly the small gift aspect — I hope the pressure is low so people can think creatively and let themselves have fun. :) Getting to go to WWoHP so often sounds amazing. I have been once, to the one on the other coast and it was lots of fun. There used to be several RPGs in HP fandom. Now that you mention it, I haven’t seen any around for a while.

I tried really hard to get back into the RPG scene a few years back, but a combination of not finding the right partners and just LOATHING Tumblr for that kind of writing scares me off. We wrote so so so much in some of those games, they really were like co-writing fic. I miss that - it was a challenging and different form of writing and I crossed paths with so many talented writers. Ah well, maybe one day!!
