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 to the fest!!! That is a long hiatus. I am curious about what made you come back and how you find the differences. What I love about this fest is that we all have the commonality of R/S being our happy place. I agree about keeping them alive — there’s no reason not to, if we can, really. :)

Hello! Thank you :)

I came back because no one in rl knows anything about my fandom activities, and I needed something that was just mine to cheer me up a bit. Which it has!

In the days of old what I remember is that everything was on lj, and now everything seems to be a bit more spread out. It has also meant having to get my head round tumblr, I feel like such a dinosaur sometimes. AO3 is a wonderful place, I don’t ever remember interacting much with ffn before, everything was just on lj and I chatted with people on aim or msn. But yes, change is good :)
