The Next-Gen March Challenge

hp_diversity
THE NEXT GENERATION CHALLENGE

 A lot of interest was shown in the idea of a hp_diversity challenge focused on the post-DH era. The challenge is not specific to any one character this time, just that it must be set at least 5+ years post-DH sans epilogue (but may be epilogue compliant) and feature at least one character of color in a main role.

You may keep it canon, how does George end up with Angelina anyway, or entirely fanon, do Hermione and Cho ever get past their differences, that's up to you. Or maybe even a focus on the listed next-gen kids, Roxanne and Freddie. I'm hoping this sparks your imagination and inspires exploration of a wizarding world healing/healed after the war with characters rarely focused on in this particular setting.

I'm not above bribing, there will be banners for authors/artists.
These serve a double purpose: enticement and pimping =)

Thanks to entrenous88, snorkackcatcher, woldy, and vegablack62 for contributing to the open forum post that spawned this challenge =)

As always:

• Plotbunny Drop-Off Post is always open =)
• For all AO3 users, hp_diversity has a collection of its own on the site. Feel free to add any of your work to the open collection. I'd also encourage you to tag your fic with 'character of color' when applicable.
