MASTERLIST OF FANWORKS Updated as regularly as I can!

FEST INFO:

When is the fest running?
We're here all week, from Feb 7th to Feb 14th. Please drop in regularly to leave love and see what else has been left.

How do I leave love for a character?
It's entirely up to you, but here are some examples, for your inspiration. So, for instance, if you're feeling a lot of love for Ron this week, go to his thread HERE and leave your contribution as a comment.

You could post explaining that you've always liked a man with a freckly arse. You could draw a sketch of Ron doing his bad-ass Auror thing. You could write a drabble featuring Ron just being Ron, a kinky PWP, or a 100k Gen rated kid!fic. You could cosplay as Ron and post a photo. Sculpt your interpretation of Ron's face in mashed potato. Or eat a bacon sandwich in his honour and then compose a haiku about how delicious it was. What about some Ron-centric recs? Ron icons, favourite quotes connected to Ron, a Ron fanmix, Ron's name written in fairy lights – if you can think of it, then DO IT.

Leave a description of your contribution in the subject line. Eg, RON: FANMIX, RON: HAIKU, or RON: DRABBLE or just RON: LOVE if it's just general love.

Commenting on other people's contributions, and general chit-chat, is firmly encouraged. Will this mean the threads get a little crazy? WHO KNOWS. :D

What is and isn't allowed?
You can write any pairing, or gen, any length, any genre, any rating. Please use warnings appropriately. Content does not have to be fluffy by any means, but character bashing would not be appropriate at this fest. If you have any doubts, just ask me or

capitu.

I've written a 20k fic for the fest, is that OK?
:DDD OF COURSE. If there's anything that you want to host on your own journal, just leave the link in the comment thread.

I can't find a thread for Aunt Marge / Griphook / Trevor! Are only certain characters eligible for love?
Please check the masterlist first, HERE. I'll try to keep the masterlist updated as much as possible, but I do have to sleep and stuff, so please skim through the latest comment threads as well, to see if someone else has begun one for your character. If Aunt Marge or whoever has been cruelly neglected so far, please start your own thread, putting their name in the subject line.

As to who's eligible: EVERYONE. If they feature in the Harry Potter series, they qualify for the fest.

My fanwork deals with more than one character, where shall I put it?
GOOD QUESTION. Did you feel inspired with love for one of the characters more than the others, perhaps? If not... if it's a pairing fic, say Neville / Luna, you could post it on Neville's thread, and leave a link to it on Luna's thread. If it's, say a drawing of the Lestranges, start a thread titled “The Lestrange family” and put it on there. If you still don't know where to put it, just ask me or

capitu, or just do something different entirely, if you like; we won't shout at you.

Am I only meant to leave love for my favourite character?
No! Leave love for as many people as you like! You have the whole week to shower as many HP characters as you wish with love. You could even challenge yourself and try to appreciate a character you haven't really given much thought to before.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

LET THE LOVE BEGIN! ♥

"Fight! Fight for my master, the defender of the house-elves! Fight the Dark Lord, in the name of brave Regulus! Fight!"
—Kreacher during the Battle of Hogwarts

Pretty sure I actually cried when Kreacher was telling the story of Regulus and the locket. I always loved how Kreacher's gave Harry his loyalty in the end.

From:

birdsofshore

Goodness me, I have spelt Kreacher wrong about 4 times this week! How embarrassing.

I really have a soft spot for the slightly grotesque Kreacher. I'm very happy to see him getting a little love.

That was stunningly well done. I agree with how you look at Snape, he is such a fascinating character.

From:

Absolutely wonderful! I wish I could tear my little piece up and start again. This is just perfect. <3

From:

imera drew this lovely artwork for me with the last Dudley/Harry fest. I thought she did a great job on the both of them. Also Dudley needs some love in this fest :D

I wanted Dudley to be slim more like a boxer or fighter. And have Harry pinned to a wall for some intense snogging. :)

Ohhhhhhhh I love that how true.

Somehow everything you write makes me cry. Thank you for such a wonderful elegy.

Agree with you here he is Luscious and his cane was brilliant. Hotness runs in the family. ;)

From:

I was just about to comment on the cane lol. I imagine he's looking at Draco while they discuss naughty things.

Blaise: "I'd be more than willing to use the cane Draco. Shall I have you call me Daddy?"

Your eyes are as warm as a dragon in flame
That traitors see ere they start fearing;
You're poised in command, and your voice is the same,
You sparkle like your brilliant earring.

You'll guide our great ship of state past fangs or rocks,
With you in charge, nothing's too scary.
But are you concealing cute bangs or long locks?
Deep down, are you secretly hairy?

Thank you for that riveting look at our departmental priorities. I really have to do something about the corruption on staff. May I suggest using one of the, er, independent news agencies, promoting an atmosphere of inquiry, rather than overwork state-sponsored news services? The nerve of some people.

And yes, I am confident in my body image, and no, you may not investigate my person for concealed hair.

From:

I am so in love with this!

From:

Rereading the HP books after getting into fanfiction has given me a whole new perspective.

In re-reading Umbridge, I love how skeevy she comes off in her interactions with Harry. Especially after being influenced by reading so many of the characters in awesomely kinky fanfics.

"That's right, because you know deep down. You deserve to be punished, don't you Mr Potter?"
—Talking about the blood quill

"As I told you once before, Mr Potter, naughty children deserve to be punished."
—Talking to Harry about his punishments

Now when I read her, all I can think of is kinky sex and Umbridge as the most strangely dressed Domme ever.

From:

Exactly! I love that.

I agree!

From:

perverse-idyll.livejournal.com

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've spouted off about Snape many times in the past, so I tried my best not to climb onto my usual soapbox here. Linking to some of the vast array of Snape art that exists helped open up the perspective, I think.

And this is only the iceberg's tip of a resource - there are infinite worlds of fanfic out there and not enough comment boxes to go around. If I'd tried to include fic, even just my favorites, I would have ended up posting a dissertation!

Thank you for giving us all the opportunity. This is a fabulous idea!

Everyone considered (and she was aware) Hermione to be kind of a know-it-all. And she was alright by it, mostly. The thing that most people didn’t realise was that she only liked telling you to stop when she thought you were making a mistake, but if she saw you doing something she approved of, she kept it to herself.

She was rather peculiar like that.

When she first saw Harry stalking Malfoy in Sixth year, she was worried. But, when she saw Harry’s fingers brush against Draco’s in Eighth year during a library study session, she smiled, bit her lip and returned her gaze to her book.

She left the library shortly after, willing to give the boys some privacy.

“Where’s Harry?” Ron asked, curious to see Hermione leaving the library alone.

“He’s busy,” she answered simply. “Keeping himself occupied.”

“With what?” Ron asked, trying to look over her shoulder to see if he could spot Harry.

“Let’s go, Ron,” she said, pulling him by his robes and all but dragging him away.

“Where?” he asked, complaining.

“To keep ourselves occupied. You pay far too much attention to Harry.”

Ron had no complaints after that.
