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 orcapitu.
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 orcapitu, 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.

Minerva McGonagall's Self-love
Date: 2014-02-14 11:23 pm (UTC)Remember?
"I should have made my meaning plainer," said Professor McGonagall, turning at last to look at Umbridge directly in the eyes. "He has achieved high marks in all Defense Against the Dark Arts tests set by a competent teacher."
Harry witnessed Professor McGonagall walking right past Peeves, who was determinedly loosening a crystal chandelier, and could have sworn he heard her tell the poltergeist out of the corner of her mouth, 'It unscrews the other way.'
"Are you quite sure you wouldn't like a cough drop, Dolores?"
'Is it true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge?'
'Yes,' said Harry.
'You called her a liar?'
'Yes.'
'You told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back?'
'Yes.'
Professor McGonagall sat down behind her desk, frowning at Harry. Then she said, 'Have a biscuit, Potter.'
Potter!'
'Yes, Professor [McGonagall]?'
She glanced up and down the corridor; there were students coming from both directions. 'Bear in mind,' she said quickly and quietly, her eyes on the scroll in his hand, 'that channels of communication in and out of Hogwarts may be being watched, won't you?'
And then there was the time she took three stunners to the chest for Hagrid. And stood up for Trelawney in spite of thinking she was a quack. And bought Harry time to find the horcruxes.
A scholar, a mentor, and a BAMF fighter. A tip of the very pointy hat to you, Professor.

Re: GINNY'S THREAD- shipping and graphics
Date: 2014-02-15 07:17 am (UTC)but My otp (after Ron/Hermione) is Ginny/Neville and I wish she had ended up with him instead. I feel he wouldn't brushed her aside for her safety and completely leave her out helping. (and harry ended with luna who understood him and crack through his barriers )

Re: NEVILLE'S THREAD- patronus headcanon
Date: 2014-02-15 07:19 am (UTC)bears are earth creatures and neville is not only good with plants, he's also very levelheaded and stable.
bears are sometimes considered dumb/stupid but they will prove you wrong and show how fierce they are.

3. It's so adorable how passionate she's about quidditch
4. I adore that her and dumbledore are best friends.
5. I feel i'm in the minority? but I adored her rowling-given-through-pottermore backstory. I love that she's a half-blood, I love that her father is a religious minister and how she's so close to him.
6. Maggie Smith was an AWESOME McGonagall
7. artist rec: Ehay- she makes awesome mcG art!!!!

Re: HARRY'S THREAD- Fanfic(s)/Fanwriter Rec
Date: 2014-02-15 07:56 am (UTC)he writes such a flawless and understantingly sexy Harry and all his fanfictions are a delight and pleasure to read. he has written several of my now favorite harry pairings.
plus, he's british.
Definitely recommend him to everyone. (he won't jump ships though- warning on that)
Re: SEVERUS SNAPE'S THREAD
Date: 2014-02-15 08:45 am (UTC)Yet maybe that's the definition of love, to feel so strongly that one overused word couldn't possibly hold the intensity. And there's so much intensity here. I don't even know if it's my intensity or his own. It's coffee with no sugar, acid with no base. It's the fast current in the river where my uncle told me not to swim as a child, the dark current that can pull you down, down, down faster than you can swim.
At times I identify with him. At times I want to rescue him. Always he fascinates me. And yet I know where this story is going. Down. Much faster than any of us can swim.
That doesn't stop us from trying. There are so many of us down here in the dark, trying to stop the bleeding.
There are so many of us who love him. Surely that will make a difference? Maybe if we write passionately enough, paint clearly enough, read deeply enough, the story will shift and something new will emerge?
Probably not.
But I'm foolish enough to keep trying.
