If you posted a prompt, please consider participating. The more fanwork produced, the better :)

Working Timeline:

Posting Begins - May 5th

Claiming:
1) You may claim up to three prompts.
2) Prompts may be claimed up to three times. Claiming is first come, first served.

Participants will post directly to the comm (or with a link during the posting period; more guidelines to come later).

Filling:
1) Submission must feature a character of color. In prompts with "Any" as a character option, you must create with a HP character of color as the subject. Check out our tag list under "character:" for your canon options or write/draw an original HP character of color.

3) Minimum wordcount for fanfiction is 300 words; please keep an equivalent in mind for art. There is no maximum on wordcount or quality.

Can prompts filled for this mini-fest also be partially inspired by a word prompt from another community?

I know you said you would post more guidelines before the posting period, but it's May 5th and I'm kind of eager to post. Can I post sometime today or is it necessary to wait? Just wondering as it's my first time posting to this comm. :)

[identity profile] cinnamonselkie.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
May I please claim "Padma/Lavender, how to tell Parvati"?

[identity profile] cinnamonselkie.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you :) I am fairly new to this community, so I'm not entirely sure how this works - do I post an entry myself during the posting period listed, or is there an email address that I should send it to once it's written?

[identity profile] cinnamonselkie.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, that sounds good. Thanks :)

[identity profile] vividescent.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like to do "Dean/Kingsley, A portrait commission", please.

[identity profile] librasmile.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
May I have Dean, the truth about his father?

Hi arobynsung,

this is my very first fest and I'm still writing and I've got some real world business that's going to take up all my time. I won't really be free until Saturday April 30. I think I can get the story done by May 1. Is that still good? Please let me know. Sorry to be a problem child!

[identity profile] librasmile.livejournal.com 2011-04-28 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! * wipes brow * thanks! * runs off to write *

[identity profile] librasmile.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey Robyn,

unless I pull off a miracle I'm going to miss that May 5 date =^( Is an extension possible? ( And my apologies )

[identity profile] librasmile.livejournal.com 2011-05-05 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh thank God! Thank you! * runs off to get cracking *

Hi,

I'm sorry I posted but I couldn't get the cut to work and now I've made a mess on the posting. Is there any way to fix it?

[identity profile] librasmile.livejournal.com 2011-05-13 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I got it to work. Thanks for your patience and help and for letting me have that prompt.
