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.

Hello, Isa! Lovely to meet you! Particularly after I didn’t expect to meet anyone who’s come to the fandom just as early as I have.

I haven’t written much James/Lily – except as a side-pairing in R/S centric fics, just a couple of James-pov and Lily-pov fics. Your favourite rarepairs remind me of how I’ve preferred slash as well as gen to het, and I used to enjoy reading about characters who are very minor in canon. If I ever read or wrote in LotR fandon, I guess I’d prefer Gimli/Legolas to Arwen/Aragorn.

I hope to meet your Remus and Sirius soon, too!
