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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Feel free to leave any comments you might have below. Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who's already left recs for fanworks featuring characters of color. So far we have recs for Angelina, Blaise, Fred II, Padma, and Parvati. Could we get a few more?

You can leave your recs here or on the original post. All comments are screened.

Rec collection will end on September 30, 2014, so this is your last chance!

We need more recs! Fics, art, podfic, meta, anything featuring a character of color in the Harry Potter universe.

Submit recs: 1-30 September 2014
Recs posted: 1-31 October 2014
Comment Fest: 1-31 October 2014

Thanks for everyone's input on the poll for Diversity Awareness Month. It looks like recs are still something that people are interested in, along with a comment fest.

So we will collect recs* throughout September for any fanworks featuring a character of color in the HP fandom. Fics of any length, art, podfic, meta, icons, etc. are all fair game. The only things that are off-limits are fanworks that were recced last year.

Additionally, we will run a comment fest from 1-31 October with open prompting and filling.

If you'd like to spread the word, here is the code for the above banner:

October is Diversity Awareness Month in some places and I'd like to have a little event in honor of that. Last year we did a rec month, which was really good for the community, and we got a lot of fantastic recs.

We could do the same thing again this year, if you think there are more great fanworks featuring characters of color that were either created in the past year or classic ones that didn't get recced last time.

Or we could do something else. I'd love to hear your opinions!

Only one more week to go for getting in your recs of fanworks featuring characters of color in the Harry Potter universe!

You guys have come through brilliantly, with 26 delicious recs for fic, art, and podfic so far, but there's still room for a few more. Just go to the original reccing post and leave your screened comments before the end of September 30.

Adding: I just realized we only have ONE rec for Blaise, and that's a piece of fanart. Blaise is one of the most popular secondary characters! Where are all the Blaise/Draco and Blaise/Hermione fics?

September is halfway through, and we already have some terrific recs for Diversity Awareness Month, but we can always use more!

So far, 17 recs for fic and art have been made for the following characters:

- Blaise
- Cho
- Dean
- Kingsley
- Lee
- Padma
- Parvati

Glaringly absent so far is Angelina, and I know there are some good ones with Aurora, Roxanne, and Mrs. Zabini out there. So dig deep, go through your bookmarks, scour your favorite authors' master lists, I'm sure there are more gems waiting to be discovered!

You can either add to the original post, or leave your recs here (screened).

Announcing a new HP Diversity event!*

In honor of October being Diversity Awareness Month (at least in some places), we will be collecting and posting recs for fic, art, podfic, vids, meta, what have you, that feature a character of color from the Harry Potter universe.

You can submit your recs by commenting to this post (screened) until September 30, 2013. We, the mods, will then collate the recs and post them throughout the month of October for your viewing pleasure. Easy? Easy!

In the event that there are more recs than can comfortably be posted in one month (which would be awesome, so don't hold back with the recs), we reserve the right to pick and choose which ones will be featured. But we will post a complete list of all the recs at the end, so none of the juicy goodness will be lost!

Please use this template to submit your recs:

Author/Artist/Creator:
