Prompts of Color Feedback Poll

[swissmarg]

Despite having been the most popular idea for a Diversity Awareness Month activity, the Prompts of Color comment fest didn't exactly find a resounding echo amongst the community members. Only a couple of people submitted prompts, and only one person completed a fanwork (this spectacular portrait of Padma by imera, go check it out!). So I'm just curious in finding out what went wrong and if there might be anything we could learn for future events.

But I have yet to see one Black!H/D story or art anywhere.

Just butting in to say that I actually recall an artist doing a series of H/D art pieces which featured a non-caucasian Harry. The pieces were quite good. I may have to go on a search to find them.
Anyway, I remember that that art was also well received, so I think there is room for different interpretations of our favorite characters in a fandom as large as ours. But I do get that there discomfort there, too.


Edit: And I found it! Check this out. (http://harrydraco.livejournal.com/8983405.html)

This is awesome. Thank you so much for the link. I think I even recognise the artist from tumblr (creating Good Omens fanart). :) :) :)

I do think there is room in HP for different interpretations of all characters - it's just that I had never seen it done.
