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! ♥

Aww! Let's hope he can keep quiet about it. It's got to be safer than using that pink umbrella!

Ooooh Nev ♥
Love the transition. Even though I felt for him in the years between adorable and drool-worthy.

*snickering*

Oh I agree!

Re: RON IS HOT FICLET

[birdsofshore]

OMG. I kept highlighting bits to quote at you in this comment, but every line just kept getting funnier and funnier. Draco is hilarious in this.

That’s it. Blaise, kill me now! I’ve got a boner for Ronald Weasley!”

I was cackling away at that, but then:

“He might be … he might be.” Draco bites his fist, struggling to control himself. “He might be hotter than me,” he squeezes out.

ahahaha, that is fabulous. Poor Draco. And poor Ron. We need a sequel :D

Re: RON'S THREAD

[0idontknow0]

Dear Ron,

I know you felt like a sidekick and had all the pressure of being the last boy out of six but you are rocking. Rockin' Ron. It's okay, I'll never say it again. Don't worry. I won't embarrass you like that. Anyway, I know people give you a lot of trouble sometimes and take you for granted, but Harry wouldn't be where he is without you (sadly, he'd likely be dead). You're a great friend and brother to him, even if you had a few rough patches (it happens, what's important is that you two resolved it). And I think we all know you love your family dearly, pranks and yelling and teasing and all. You've done a lot of growing up since we all first met you at King's Cross. You've matured. You've finally admitted your feelings for Hermione and I think you've identified who you are and that you aren't just another Weasley or just Harry Potter's friend. You're you, and you're important, and you're smart and able to do great things when you stop being insecure (remember that first Quidditch match?).

I'm really tempted to just give you some cookies I baked but I know that isn't enough (and Molly can bake something fierce, so... yeah, I'm not going up against that). You've done pretty well for yourself since the the war ended so I'm a little bit stumped. You married Hermione and you had lovely children. If I could make the Cannons win a game for you I would, maybe we can settle for meeting them? Maybe have a fly? (And I don't think we need to work about another Krum-like situation with Hermione since she's adored for some time now.)

Re: RON IS HOT FICLET

[raitala.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked this :D Totally indulgent,utter fanon Draco! I admit that I sniggered too when I thought of him wrestling with the ultimate confession that he might not be the prettiest boy in the school any more ;)

Are you going to write anything, or do you have your hands full modding the fest?

Re: RON IS HOT FICLET

[birdsofshore]

I adore it - so funny. Keep writing, you're on a real roll!

*shrugs* Well, I don't seem to be actually DOING any modding, LOL, so I've got no excuse. I had planned to make some amusing things but real life thwarted me a bit today and I've just been sitting staring at the screen instead.

On Sunday I think I'll try to contribute more, but for today I am just enjoying looking at everything <33

Regulus: singing dwarf telegram

[primeideal (from livejournal.com)]

Dear Regulus,

You rise above us, seeking out your prize;
Shielding your true colors close to your chest;
Schemes within schemes lurking behind the eyes
Of a young champion, drawn to be the best.

Below each uniform, another guise,
Soaring past hurdles in an unseen test,
Your loyalties shine through amid the lies,
A step ahead, again to seek and quest.

~your secret admirer

--
The heck is this supposed to mean? None of the Slytherins are this ditzy, unless-- no, Professor Slughorn, I'm not going to join your stupid club, I have better groups to join things to do with my precious time. And use my full name, I like it better.

Re: RON IS HOT FICLET

[raitala.livejournal.com]

After the day you've had, you're entitled to just stare. You've made this all happen, after all!

I hope you will note the painful tense shifts and recognise how vital you are a beta, among other things ;)

Re: NEVILLE'S THREAD

[0idontknow0]

Dear Neville,

Hopefully I can get through this without swooning because seriously, you grew up well. You went from clumsy, nervous little Longbottom to strapping, brave Longbottom that kept safe the masses and beheaded Voldemort's snake. You're hard working and you're determined: you kept at it in the DA and you kicked those spells arses, you practised the hell out of those dance moves for the ball and danced up a storm. Your parents would be proud of you, I know your nan is. And you know what, you're a bloody wonderful friend and I think everyone gave you too difficult a time when you were younger.

For you, a rare (or at least I think it is) Pinguicula, is that the right term? Anyway, I'll be part of the common folk and call it Butterwort. Perhaps you can work your magic on it, I know you love plants. And you can keep one in the house to catch flies since it's like flypaper! And it digests them! Who knew? (You probably did...)

Re: RON IS HOT FICLET

[birdsofshore]

Ahaha, nothing painful here, just Ron and Draco perfection.

Yes, I must spend more Friday evenings telling people to write and draw and make things, so that I can sit and enjoy them. It is working out very nicely indeed :D

[0idontknow0]

These are all the reasons I ship him with Severus lol. Especially the Luscious bit. I imagine it'd be his drag queen name... if he were into that.

Re: DRACO'S THREAD

[celestlyn.livejournal.com]

Love you, Draco! Love you, Tom! You are amazing in all that you do!

Re: RON: HAIKU

[0idontknow0]

I love this!

Re: GEORGE'S THREAD

[calrissian18.livejournal.com]

I DUNNO... I LIKE GEORGE AND DRACO *shrugs*


He shakes out his sleeve, still curled up under itself from when he'd yanked on his jacket that morning. The fabric clings to itself, grits its teeth, relents and falls where it should at his wrist. He doesn't look any better.

The part of his hair is extreme, pushing an orange bank of hair to one side. The side without his mangled ear. The side where he could pass for unscathed. No, this way it's prominently displayed. This way there can be no confusion. This way he won't catch a glimpse and think...

It turns people's stomachs but Fred is dead and he won't forget it and that's worth a bit of staring.

Malfoy stares when he takes George's jacket, sneers, tries to be superior when he's working in a coat check. His nod lists to the side of George's head. "I know what you're doing," he says, hisses, judges.

George blinks. "I could say the same to you."

Malfoy's gaunt, dark hollows under his eyes and in the sunken depression of his cheeks. He's trying to disappear in plain sight.

George is trying to stick out like a hippogriff in a line of horses.

It's a parallel but not a similarity. George is glad for it; he doesn't want to have things in common with the filth that killed his brother.

"I didn't."

George blinks again. Either he'd said it out loud or his face had said it for him. Either way, it doesn't much matter. It's not a sentiment he feels ashamed of having. He stares at Malfoy and his eyes are so much less grey than George remembers. And they're fierce now - like they were - but only to cover for the vulnerable in them - not like they were. "So who did you kill?"

Yeah. My thoughts exactly. LOL
