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.

Re: Spirits and Divination Part V

"I wanted to let you know, Professor Trelawney, you do have the sight, you told me that prophecy and it came true. You foresaw Voldemort coming back. You knew that Peter Pettigrew would be the one that would rejoin him..." He stopped talking; Trelawney was sobbing.

"You have made two prophecies that we know of about Harry. The one that Harry has shared with you tonight and the one you made to Dumbledore so many years ago," McGonagall said gently.

Harry looked at Trelawney. "Dumbledore knew that you needed protection, the kind of protection that only Hogwarts could provide. If Voldemort had discovered that you were the one that had made the original prophecy, he would have tried to harm you."

Harry glanced at the portrait of Dumbledore, he flushed slightly as he saw that Dumbledore had stood up in his portrait and was watching the scene with keen interest. "I think that Dumbledore discouraged you from leaving Hogwarts, for your protection. He perhaps, did not -"

"Sybill" Dumbledore's soft voice came from the portrait.

Trelawney turned and stared confused at his portrait.

"Sybill, I owe you an apology. Harry is absolutely right. I did you a great disservice. I feared that your life would be endangered if you left our castle walls so I discouraged you in very subtle ways from ever leaving the castle. Such a long time in one place, I fear has affected you greatly. I only had the best of intentions, to keep you safe..."

Trelawney sat in her chair looking dazed, Harry wasn't sure she was hearing anything they were telling her. She glanced repeatedly from the Pensieve to Dumbledore's portrait to Harry, a slow smile filled her face.

"That was me...that was me. I foretold of the future and it came true...all of these years, staring into crystal balls and seeing nothing...the spirit of Cassandra lives within me...I always knew, I always felt her inside me... but I'd never known she was speaking to me..." Trelawney rose from her chair... I must return to my tower and summon my great great grandmother's spirit to me once again-"

McGonagall came around her desk and sat next to Trelawney, gently taking her hand. "You will return to your tower soon, Sybill, but first Poppy is going with you to St. Mungo's. Your position at Hogwarts is safe, but you need to get well first."

Trelawney looked around the room at her colleagues looking at her worriedly, "Yes, yes. I see it now. Yes. I have much work to be done. But perhaps a rest will help me see my visions more clearly..." She continued to mutter to herself as Madam Pomfrey guided her to the fireplace and with a whoosh of floo powder they both disappeared in puff of smoke.

Harry looked into the empty fireplace with relief. He looked over at McGonagall. "Do you think she will be okay?"

"It is up to her now, you have done all you can for her. Thank you, Harry, for making me realize that something should be done."

Harry nodded embarrassed and quickly left. Slowly making his way to the common room he was glad to see Ginny studying by the window. "Where have you been?" she asked as he leaned over to kiss her.

"Nowhere. Just wandering around."
