Master list for 2007

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much to all our fabulous writers and artists for participating, to our readers for leaving so many lovely comments, and to all our pinch hitters for saving the day! We had an *incredible* turnout this year: 80 gifts posted over the past five weeks. The Remus/Sirius stocking really overflowed with love!

Underneath the cut is the master list for this year's exchange. There may yet be another gift or two posted to the comm, but for now, enjoy a guide to the delights of rs_small_gifts 2007. (And please let us know if you spot any mistakes or omissions!)

We're both still going through all the gifts posted in the last five weeks (a project for January...). If you're still reading and viewing too, please remember to comment! There's nothing an author or artists appreciates more. We're a Small Gifts comm, so even a Small Comment like '♥' or 'So sexy!' or 'Heartbreaking but brilliant' will make an artist or author's day.

Thank you - thank you - thank you! A happy new year to all!

I think one of jadis31’s art gifts has been left out... No, Ink Stains has been placed in the fic section!

Thank you both for running this so excellently. And once again, thank you, Maggie, for encouraging me to take part this time. I’m still amazed how well my writing was received here. It’s also been lovely to enjoy more new R/S fic and R/S art of more types than I had read in all other communities together perhaps ever since the DH release. There’s still a lot of commenting to be done.
