Yay, I saw your sign-up, so nice to see you joining an R/S event! <3 It's a very nice exchange, rather relaxed and low-key :D Can't wait to see what you'll be doing <3
Ooh, yes, you're sharing your birthday with Sirius! And the Emperor Meiji :D (Very nice date to have a national holiday when you're in Japan :)) Good company, indeed! I remembered you have your birthday in November, but wasn't certain about the date. Party on, I'll say!
Yes, the date is from a JKR tweet - this was information I really enjoyed getting, which isn't the case with everything :D (Did you see that she revealed Teddy's and James Sirius' Hogwarts houses?)
I did see that about Teddy and James -- that was from Sept 1, right? Because right now Teddy is in seventh year and James is in first. (I so should have tried for a drabble that day.)
I'm disappointed about Teddy being in Hufflepuff, though, since I put him in Ravenclaw so that everyone in his family would have been in a different House! I may just have to ignore that particular detail from JKR because I like mine better. ;P
On the other hand, apparently Teddy is Head Boy as well! (Although even there -- have you ever read fernwithy's Teddy stories? Because she makes the really excellent point that there would have been very few wizarding babies born the year he was, making Teddy's class at Hogwarts very small. I think she has Teddy as literally the only Gryffindor boy in his year. So it might not have been quite such stiff competition for Head Boy...)
I say you should feel free to keep your own headcanon :D The trouble is, for me at least, that once I've seen JKR's thoughts about something, like for instance Teddy's House, it's a bit difficult to un-see it again, if that makes any sense. (And now that the theatre play is said to be 19 Years Later, and about Harry & Albus, it will be even more so, and yes, I do have somewhat mixed emotions about it. But that's another discussion :))
I haven't actually read those Teddy stories, thank you for pointing them out to me! I'll be sure to check them out :)
And here I was considering not joining small gifts this year due to lack of motivation. Then I foolishly went and looked at what prompts had already been left, and some of those prompts look so tempting. Now I'm not sure what to do.
Oh yes, looking at the prompts is always a dangerous thing when one is in doubt ;) It would be nice if you joined, I hope your motivation comes lurking back soon ♥
It's tempting. I do love how relaxed it is. My motivation seems to be having itself a little vacation in other fandoms, though, so I haven't decided if I'm going to try and corral it. Probably. I have a bad habit of not being able to say no to tempting prompts.

Because November 3 is also my birthday. :) :) Good to know I'm in good company!
ETA: Oops, I should have clicked the link. Apparently this is from a recent tweet by JKR.
Me, Sirius Black, and the Emperor Meiji. (Consequently, we get a national holiday in Japan.) Party on!
