Probably. FAVORITE HP MOVIE: The first two, I must say, were always the best. NAME THREE OF YOUR OWN FANFICTION STORIES: SEVEN, SEVEN, AND SEVEN. THERE ARE NO OTHERS. GIVE THE LINKS TO THE THREE STORIES ABOVE: HERE ARE LINKS. (Stop your hate, OK. My heart's blood went into that sucker.) Any tidbit you want to add as a wish: I'm pretty much open to anything, but I especially enjoy pieces that grab hold of your insides and twist them. I don't know. It's not only sadness, it's a real, tangible, devastating pull. But if that's not what you do, then by all means, do what you do do.

Gifts can be posted in the gift thread which will be up soon. (I will include a link here when it is up.)
Please PM the recipient with the gift first!
If you missed the deadline and are completely heartbroken, I'm sorry but the names are going out soon after I post this. If you really want to participate, pm me with your info and if I get two names right away I'll give those two names to each other.
Here are some ideas for gifts:
A drabble featuring one of their fav pairings
A oneshot featuring one of their favorite pairings
A graphic (wallpaper, avatar, signature, etc) that includes one of their ships, or all of them. Remember to use their favorite colors.
Offer to beta one of their fics, or all of them, and post a link to something you've beta'd before.
If you have the ability, create a video and post it on youtube.
Remember that it does not have to be about ADMM or Harry Potter, you can write a fic about their favorite tv show or non HP book.
Most people post the fic on ff.net or wherever they post their other work, and simply dedicate the fic to their recipient. If you like, you may post the entire piece in the gift thread and give it to the recipient for their own use. Be sure to leave a disclaimer that gives them permission to use it as they like.
