Countdown to Small Gifts 1/3: Introductions

[smallgiftsmods]

Welcome, folks! Every year at small gifts, we start off the holiday season with a series of discussion posts. It's a chance to get to know other participants (or say hi to old friends), meet our readers (hi, readers! we love you!), and while away the hours before the fest begins. We'll have three topics this week, posted Monday, November 25; Wednesday, November 27; and Friday, November 29. Posting begins Sunday, December 1.

Discussion is not limited to participants! Please introduce yourself if you're a reader, too.

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 been in HP fandom? How long have you shipped R/S? Are you a reader? Writer? Artist? Crafter? Do you participate in any other parts of HP fandom? Are you active in any other fandoms right now?

2) Say hi to someone else! We're friendly around here like that.

Maggie, I remember getting to know you and your fascinating stories in 2006. I’m happy you’ve remained active in this particular part of the fandom, and grateful to you for creating and continuing to run the fest, since some of my best memories of sharing are from Small Gifts in 2007 – 2010.

I remember meeting you, too! So few folks are around from those days--which already seemed "late," like fandom had passed its peak.

I'm so glad you remember the early fests fondly.

I'd be interested in hearing more of your story, if you wanted to introduce yourself. :) M.
