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! ♥

Re: LUNA'S THREAD

[khalulu]

Dear Luna, so serene, so centered in yourself and so un-self-centered, the girl who's always seen the thestrals, who doesn't blame, who gives Harry a chance to slip away after the battle. Who's to say there are no Crumple-Horned Snorcacks? If Voldemort had been as unafraid of death as you are, how different our story would be.

Re: Reasons why I love Luna

[khalulu]

I agree!

Re: GINNY'S THREAD

[khalulu]

quite true!

Re: HERMIONE'S THREAD

[khalulu]

Ah, Hermione, you're smart, brave, loyal, fiercely principled, tenacious, and you slapped Draco when he was laughing about Buckbeak's death sentence. You go girl.

Re: Why Snape? - pt III

[citiesandsigns.livejournal.com]

But art links! Exactly what my day needed! I have seen a number of these before but not nearly all of them.

And I think I probably have a third view again - not quite in line with yours, though we share some ideas, and I think quite far from writcraft's in a lot of ways, though I find both of your thoughts very interesting & always enjoy reading them. But I'm always rubbish at meta. I'll just have to write more fic. Eventually.........

Re: Severus Snape: The Byronic Hero of the Potterverse - Part II

[citiesandsigns.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed this! As I said to perverse_idyll below, I don't know if I really fall completely in line with what either of you wrote in my opinions, but I really appreciate them - it's so much easier to think about characters when there's an active community talking about them so that there are all these opinions around that one can consider & reconsider. It's something I appreciate hugely about HP fandom (and I AM still pretty new to the fandom, heh). This all makes me want to add my own thoughts, but whenever I try to write anything like this I just completely freeze up - apparently if I'm going to say a lot about characters I'll just have to do it through lovingly-crafted works of pornographic fanfiction. *headdesk*

Re: DOLORES UMBRIDGE'S THREAD

[alley-skywalker.livejournal.com]

Oh God. Now I'm kinda curious to see Umbridge/Centaurs fic (not like..gang rape though. Just like kink).

Re: Why Snape? - pt III

[akatnamedeaster.livejournal.com]

Absolutely perfect, both as an essay on Snape and evidence of your love for the character. Really, nothing more need be said after this. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. :)

Re: DOLORES UMBRIDGE'S THREAD

[birdsofshore]

It could be cool if she started getting into it half way through :DD Maybe a fabulous dirty shag from a centaur, or maybe a centaur and his friend, is all she needs to turn her into a Muggle-loving, feisty rebel, determined to bring down the Dark Lord? ;-)

Re: BLAISE'S THREAD

[tamlane.livejournal.com]

OMG, that's absolutely perfect!!! The little cane! And his eyebrows!! I love it! XD

Re: BLAISE'S THREAD

[tamlane.livejournal.com]

NNNNNNNGH. I would read the hell out of that!!!!!

Re: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE'S THREAD ~ banner

[tamlane.livejournal.com]

ROFL

That's awesome.

PODFIC OF LUNA FICLET

[raitala.livejournal.com]

It isn't really Luna, so much as it is a love letter to all the next gen kids :)

Check out the podfic here - I can't embed it for some reason *side eyes LJ.

Re: DRACO'S THREAD

[thania-hinata.livejournal.com]

DRACO : ART - Calendar

It's 2012 calendar, still not have time to edit it into 2014.But hey you can always put new box and paste the new date into picture ;)
I just freaking love Draco too much. Everyone who see this in my room always looks shocked xD
Hey he's my soulmate so what~
I've put each picture with Draco's image from Year 1. Well Year 4 and 5 must combined (he has very few appearance in the movie *scowl*)
Sorry with the big heavy image :((

DUDLEY: fic and letter

[ashindk.livejournal.com]

Dear Dudley,

I’m so glad that you managed to step out of your parents’ shadow and form your own opinions in the end. I really hope that you and Harry manages to patch things up and get to be friends. I’m a little disappointed in the way you were left hanging in the books, to be honest. We never got to see how the war and being in hiding changed you, and you and Harry never got to talk about everything that happened. I like to imagine that you end up being a father and do things the right way… as opposed to the way you were treated by your parents. I would love to write more fics about you, and I promise that one day I will. But I'm very busy, so for now I’ll have to just leave you with a link to one that I wrote awhile ago. It’s about you and your son. (And Harry and Draco, because let’s be honest, most things are about Harry and Draco around here).

Love, Ash

Visiting Family

Re: BLAISE'S THREAD

[0idontknow0]

*nods* Oh yeah.

Re: DRACO'S THREAD

[capitu]

OMG!!! CUTEST THING!!!! <333333

Re: DRACO: GRAPHIC

[capitu]

LOL Awesomeness!!!

(p.s. it also amuses me to think of Draco's reaction to a message of love conveyed via such a plebeian medium, heh)

Hahahahahaha!! You're so right! I can almost picture his sneer!

Re: DRACO'S THREAD

[capitu]

That is cool beyond words. I don't know how I've lived without this!!!!

Re: PANSY: Pansy Parkinson, 19 Years Later

[capitu]

Oh wow, that was amazing. I love this, the perception vs. the reality. Brilliant.

Re: PANSY: Ficlet

[capitu]

That was amazing, woman! I fell in love with Pansy myself. Thank you for this.

Re: BLAISE'S THREAD

[capitu]

LOL! But he looks so dashing! I love it. :D

Re: NARCISSA'S THREAD

[capitu]

Brilliant. And perfectly fitting. I loved your last line. She did indeed. :) I love Narcissa.

Re: JAMES SIRIUS' THREAD: Six Word Story

[capitu]

LOL! Perfect! Hahahaha. And you know? I bet that technically he's absolutely right. XD

Re: SCORPIUS' THREAD

[capitu]

The perfect mix, he even got a bit of messy hair. ;)
