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.

Welcome back, Gloom! I remember your Christmas feast story from a few years back.

Gah, it's never a good time of year right about now, isn't it? And then in January and February, we're all desperate for a fest or a party or some excitement.

Glad to see you again! M.

oh wow, well remembered! I'd forgotten all about that particular fic! :D
and you're so right re this time of year (ugh), although there are a few fests going on in jan/feb that might potentially interest you? Remus Lupin Fest has just started claiming, and museinabsentia & I run RS Fireside Tales which is all about spooky/uncanny/ghost stories you'd like to be told around a fire.... submissions in Jan, posting in early Feb! Let me know if you're at all interested in that one, people are still welcome to join Fireside Tales!

I just followed both over on Tumblr--thanks! Let us know if we can announce Fireside Tales here at some point.

HP is such a good fandom for ghost stories. :) M.

Ooh, thank you for mentioning those other fests! (How do I *always* manage to stumble across the Remus Lupin Fest too late? I'm going to bookmark that for myself yet again...) I don't think I have any strengths in the spooky stories direction, but I'll check out Fireside Tales too. :-)
