Announcing the Draco Malfoy Birthday Love Fest!

[birdsofshore]

Please join me for a week of Draco love and appreciation, in honour of his 33rd birthday on June 5th.

What is happening at the Love Fest? Whatever you like! Please bring your drabbles, prompts, arts, gifs, quotes, squee, meta, and general flailing. Contributions can be slash, het or gen, any pairing, maybe even a crossover, as long as Draco features. Anything from a few words about why you enjoy the character of Draco, or a gif that you thought was cute, to a multi-chapter fic (well, I can be optimistic, can't I?). ALL CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE ADORED. You don't have to restrict yourself to Perfect!Redeemed!Draco love, either; feel free to celebrate him in all his snarky, spoiled, unrepentant, irritating and glorious nastiness, if you so wish. Just warn for the usual things, if you feel like going dark or kinky.

Everyone is welcome; please don't be shy, just jump in. If no-one else comments, I will just fill up the thread by myself. :D Please post any contributions as a comment to this post, with a relevant title so people can navigate the fest more easily. eg. Prompt: Harry/Draco, or Fill: Draco/Hermione, or My favourite quotes about Draco or My favourite Draco fanart, or whatever it is you want to share.

Edited to add: Here is the master list of contributions so far! Thank you everyone <3

The Love Fest will run here from June 2nd to June 10th. Do spread the word with a banner! Choose from happy-rainbow-sparkly-fluff Draco, or moody-black-shirt-and-cheekbones Draco. Or take them both, to make yourself an amazing DRACO SANDWICH. :DD

Re: Draco and the Dark Mark

[evening12]

It's been a while since I read the books so my impression might be wrong. But for some reason in my head Draco hadn't been marked because that made it simpler for him to "infiltrate" Hogwarts. Otherwise, it would have been quite easy for someone to catch a glimpse of the Mark in the showers or when he changed or just by accident.

It isn't confirmed one way or the other in canon, although it is my view the signs point more to him being marked than not...

I would be interested if you have any other analysis on the 'not marked' side of the argument though. I love a good debate! :D

So I think this is a general JKR Dark Mark flaw though... because otherwise couldn't the Ministry just round up people and check left arms to find all the Death Eaters? I hope there's some concealment-type charm she hasn't told us about
