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.

Just wanted to say, I recognize your name from Sherlock Holmes fandom, too... it's always so nice to see familiar names across different fandoms!

And as I was thinking about this a memory pinged; I went back to check and: yes, indeed, your fic "The Mystery of the Human Heart (The Encounter at St Pancras Station)" was one of my absolute, absolute favorites from a Holmestice round a couple of years ago. I still feel warm and fond and moved just thinking about it.

Aha! I knew I knew your name! Welcome! And thanks for the kind words. And I'll return the favor: I loved your remix of ancientreader's story. M.

Oh gosh, thank you so much! That makes me extremely happy. Remixing ancientreader's story was a delight and an honor.
