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 chime in yourself if you're a reader, too.

Today: head canon.

What are your favorite items of head canon for Remus and Sirius?
Are there particular attributes or qualities or biographical tidbits you always include when you imagine them or write them or draw them? Have the movies or any specific authors or fics or artworks added anything to their characterization that you've picked up over the years?

As always around these parts, YHCINMHCATO. (Your head canon is not my head canon and that's okay. :)

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?

Welcome, folks! Every year at small gifts, we start off the holiday season with a week's worth of discussion posts. It's a chance to get to know other participants (or say hi again), meet our readers (hi, readers! we love you!), and while away the hours before the fest begins. We'll have one topic per day everyday until Friday, November 30. Posting begins Saturday, December 1.

We'll end this week with one more call for introductions over here. Drop by, introduce yourself to fellow participants and readers, and get to know the other folks involved in this exchange. One of the perks of Small Gifts is that we're not anonymous, and you can make new friends and catch up with acquaintances throughout the month.

December is here, and posting begins tomorrow! And while anticipation is high, your mods want to issue a challenge to you. Already, after a week of discussion, we've left 318 comments for one another--nearly half the number of comments we left for each other during the entire exchange last year, from late-November discussion through early-January bonus gifts. Do you think we can reach the high-water mark of 2010's exchange, when at the height of Live Journal-based fandom we left a total of 2,277 comments on discussion posts and gifts? We challenge you to try! Leave a comment, even a short one, on the art and fic you enjoy. Writers and artists, engage with your audience--just as you love getting comments, we commenters love hearing back from you. Let's chat about the characters and creations we love! Fests are fun, so much fun, but comments are what make long-term community.

Who's up for a challenge?

Goal-motivated? Feeling competitive? Watching more than one fest this season? Challenge yourself by going one step further and signing up for [personal profile] capitu's Harry Potter Comment-a-thon. You join a team (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin, naturally) and rack up points for each comment made between December 1 and January 6.

Hi, folks! If you're just joining us, we're on DAY SIX of seven days of discussion before Small Gifts begins posting. Start off by introducing yourself (and meeting fellow participants and watchers) over here!

Day 6: Remus vs. Sirius

Do you identify with Remus (or some of his personality characteristics) or Sirius (or some of his personality characteristics?--or both or neither? Has that affected how you prefer to read/write/draw/see the pairing? Does it affect you preference for a POV character? Has your identification with one or the other changed over time?

P.S. Sorry this post is so late today, folks!

Day 4: Wish lists for R/S (a.k.a. MOAR ON DAY FOUR!)

What would you like to see more of in R/S fandom? Types of fic or art? Themes or tropes? Minor characters? Fannish activities? Also, fandoms change over time--if you've been around a while, what do you miss about earlier moments in fandom?

Day 2: The very beginning

Wait! Have you introduced yourself? Said hi to someone else? Head on over to Countdown to small gifts 1/7: Introductions! before you do anything else!

Done? Okay: beginnings. Tell us about the first time you knew Remus/Sirius was for you. It may or may not be your OPT, it may be your only pairing or one of several dozen you read or write or draw, but usually folks have a moment when things click--canon makes more sense with these two together, or you read a fic that convinced you, or a friend said something that drew you to R/S. Tell us about it!

Hi, folks! If you're just joining us, we're on DAY SIX of six days of discussion before Small Gifts begins posting. Start off by introducing yourself (and meeting fellow participants and watchers) over here!

Today's question: if you could give Remus and Sirius a happily every after, where and when would it be? At what age? In what circumstances? I know our art and fic address this question all the time--in fact, many in our exchange will do so!--but chime in with your thoughts today, right now. Are there parts of their story that are essential to them and their dynamic--parts you'd need to keep despite the tragedy? How would you go about making them happy?

Hi, folks! If you're just joining us, we're on DAY FIVE of six days of discussion before Small Gifts begins posting. Start off by introducing yourself (and meeting fellow participants and watchers) over here!

Our question for today: what would you like to see more of in R/S fandom? Fandoms change over time, and many of us keep up with more than one character, pairing, or fandom. What would you like to see more of in the R/S fandom? Types of fic or art? Themes or tropes? Minor characters? Fannish activities?

Hi, folks! If you're just joining us, we're on DAY FOUR of six days of discussion before Small Gifts begins posting. Start off by introducing yourself (and meeting fellow participants and watchers) over here!

Today's question: Remus or Sirius? No, no, you don't need to pick one or the other, but do you identify more with one? Do you tend to enjoy fic written from one POV? Did you find yourself attracted to one character before the other? Do you feel more protective of one? Do you tend to favor one pining...or one making the first move?

Hi, folks! If you're just joining us, we're on DAY THREE of six days of discussion before Small Gifts begins posting. Start off by introducing yourself (and meeting fellow participants and watchers) over here! (We also tried to start a discussion about Fantastic Beasts yesterday over here, but I'm not sure anyone's seen it yet!)

Today's question: If your friends were to describe you as a fan, as a fan artist, as a fanfic writer, as a reader, as a participant in fannish discussions...what would they say about you? What are some things (characters, tropes, characterizations, types of fanworks, etc.) you like every time? What gets you excited...or depressed, or angry? What's something that someone might see in an artwork, a fic, or a comment and think "that's so [you]?"
[identity profile] smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com
Hi, folks! If you're just joining us, we're on day two of six days of discussion before Small Gifts begins posting. Start off by introducing yourself (and meeting fellow participants and watchers) over here!

Our question for today: have you seen Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? Stop by and tell us how it was! Warning: spoilers likely in comments.
[identity profile] smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com
Welcome to Small Gifts 2016! Every year as we count down to December 1, we post some discussion questions so that we can all get to know one another--and talk about R/S, of course! We'll have one discussion topic per day through next Wednesday. Festivities begin on Thursday, December 1!

Today: introductions. Tell us how you became an R/S fan! How did you discover the pairing? What drew you to it?

* Feel free to say hi to other folks as you introduce yourself! We're friendly around here like that.

* You don't need to be an official participant to play along. If you're watching the comm, we'd love to hear from you. (Hi, readers and watchers! *waves*)
[identity profile] smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com
It's our last day of discussion before we begin posting tomorrow!

Two notes. First: if you didn't get a chance to introduce yourself, drop by our introductory post and tell us a bit about yourself. (And if you've already introduced yourself, drop by to meet your fellow participants and readers.)

Second: for reasons that elude your mods, LJ occasionally marks comments with link as spam and then takes its time telling us it did so. Just yesterday LJ reported that several comments on our classic fic and art post were marked as spam. They're now visible again--go check them out!

Finally, head-to-head competition today: Remus vs. Sirius.

1. Who do you think was the first to realize his feelings?
2. The first to confess his feelings?
3. The more romantic?
4. The more sexually adventurous?
5. The first to apologize after a fight?
6. The one who selected Practical Defensive Magic and its Use Against the Dark Arts, Harry's Christmas gift in OotP?
7. Your first love?
8. Your current favorite?

Answer according to your own headcanon or--for those of you who love changing things up--according to the most recent fic you read or wrote. There's a handy textbox below if you're up to answering the hard questions. :)
