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.

Date: 2014-02-08 09:52 pm (UTC)Reasons why I love Luna
Date: 2014-02-08 10:34 pm (UTC)-In school, like Luna, I was considered the weird one because of my ideas. I like to think that Luna related with Harry easier because she met someone who tried to be her friend and didn't call her weird in a bad way if that makes sense.
-She's pretty level headed in many situations. I liked how she was in the dungeons, but she didn't let that stop her. She kept her head in a scary situation and I love her for that.
-Luna is a very kind person and I think she would be the first ones to give someone a second chance.
-I liked that even though she was bullied in school she didn't let that stop her. When I read how some kids hid her shoes and books I knew if it happened to me I would've written to go home for the rest of the term. Luna didn't and I really admire her strength to keep going like that.
-Also it's my little headcanon that Luna would help put people together like Harry and Draco, George and Blaise, Ginny and Cormac, and other couples and she would listen whenever a couple had a fight and wouldn't pick sides, but try to get both sides to see what happened and how they can fix it.
-I like to think that when she has Lorcan and Lysander she's not a very strict mother, but she doesn't hesitate to tell her boys about the world. I think she would encourage their imaginations and not to be someone different to please others because she didn't change and she found a good group of people.
-Her imagination is wonderful and there were times I could see that she did it to help her father and as a coping mechanism when things became rough.
-Another reason I love Luna she didn't change herself for anyone and reading that in middle school really helped. ^^
So a couple of reasons why I love Luna Lovegood.

DRABBLE: TEDDY LUPIN'S THREAD
Date: 2014-02-08 11:54 pm (UTC)“Why can't we just go the Astronomy Tower at Hogwarts?”
“Nah, can't Apparate there. Best if it's a Muggle building, all things considered.”
“Big Ben?”
“Oh, I hadn't thought of that! Yes, I'd like to do it there. Shall we?”
“You want to go right now?”
“Well, get your mittens and whatnot. It's bloody freezing at that altitude.”
“Mmm, I can think of something much better than mittens to stick my hands into.”
“Thank god for your hot Gallic blood.”
“Alright, let's go. Count of three?”
“One -”
“Two-”
Teddy was laughing too hard to say “three.”
The next moment, Victoire's ballet flats were at the edge of a massive clock tower. Low-flying aircraft blinked red as they descended.
The harvest moon was huge and orange. They threw back their heads and howled at it until they had no voices left. Teddy sounded like Hagrid's hound, except that he kept snorting with laughter. And gasping with asthma, and using his inhaler, and swearing merrily.
Hell of a seventeenth birthday, she thought.
