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.

Thank you for mentioning me, too, here. It feels good to be remembered – and to see old friends as well as to meet new ones. Above all, thank you for your work on keeping this fest running. Since I’d already got to know you as an excellently active and caring HP fan, I wasn’t surprised when I first saw that you’d become one of the mods.

Yes, goodness! I share that feeling. I never imagined I’d write fic for so many years, and that I’d still come back after the break and after all the changes in life. Now I can’t resist replying to almost every post, as the fandom interaction is such a pleasure.
