Just in case anyone was wondering, @elzabetholsens is a wonderful cupcake and also a jedi master!
I would like to take a moment
To show my sincere appreciation and gratitude for everyone who had been laying Salt on the roads so far this winter! You are making this world a better place, thank you all for your fine public service!
The thing I love most about the Jon x Sansa fandom, and it’s something you really notice when you move in different fandoms, is just how generous a fandom it is.
And for me, this is all down to how the Big 3 (as I like to call them) @thefairfleming @justadram and @misshoneywheeler behave. They are pretty much the reason why this little corner of ASOIAF fandom has grown so large over the past year or so. Unlike so many other BNFs in other fandoms they don’t run the fandom as a clique, they are welcoming and encouraging to everyone who strays into this ship, they don’t gate-keep over headcanons or interpretations of the pairing and they don’t only reblog fic from friends or other big names. If you write something they like, they’ll reblog it and open you up to the rest of the ship regardless if it’s your first Jon x Sansa fic or you’re twentieth.
I wish other fandoms would take note of their example because then fandom would be a much more open, democratised, and welcoming place.
So basically thank you, ladies, for being such stellar examples of how to behave in fandom

A Treasure Called Rumaan
I would say that the first day of the Jon x Sansa remix has been a WILD success considering that I have read the fics submitted by thefairfleming and misshoneywheeler about 900 times respectively with no sign of stopping...
But let us all just take a moment to reflect on the treasure, blessing, and privilege that is rumaan for putting together this Remix! She truly did a phenomenal job of putting together both the LJ page and the jonxsansaremix page here on Tumblr, answering questions, and getting people involved and pumped up. And I know first hand just how excited she was for this and how much she cared about making it as awesome as all the submissions would be!
Lovely rumaan a treasure, that is what you are! Honey, you're my golden star! Thank you for making Jon/Sansa dreams come true!
