Remus/Sirius Small Gifts

...and we've reached the end of another year here at rs_small_gifts. We've had 35 gifts from 32 artists and authors, with seven first-time participants (hurrah!) and more than few of you who've been here every year since we started in 2006. Thank you to all participants for your fic and art and your ongoing love for Remus/Sirius!

Huge thanks to those of you who read along and commented! Since we started with out introductory posts at the end of November, we've left 700 comments for one another. And much appreciation goes out to our three pinch-hitters, brighty18, chibitoaster, and kingzgurl, who helped us ensure everyone got a gift this season.

Best wishes to you all for a happy and healthy 2015, filled with all kinds of fannish adventures and joys! Our 2014-2015 master list is below.

Some housekeeping items:

* Commenting. Please keep an eye out for the gift someone has created for you and comment when you see it! There's nothing more anxiety-producing than waiting for a recipient to reply. If you're going to be offline for an extended period, just let your mods know--we'll notify your gift-giver that you'll be back soon.

* Reposting. Once the gift you've created has been posted here, feel free to repost it to your own journal or archive. We've set up a collection for Small Gifts over at Archive of Our Own if you want to post your fic there, current or past. Just add this year's work to the Remus/Sirius Small Gifts 2014 subcollection.

* Recing.If you rec a gift at your journal, would you please drop us a note here to let us know? We'll keep track of recs and notify the Daily Snitch when we see three for any gift.

* Did we mention how much we all love comments? Leave a word or two for a creator if you enjoy something!

Your mods,
Sam/sambethe, Min/mindabbles, and Maggie/magnetic_pole
