Hello, awesome people!

We have now entered June and I want to say thank you to everyone who participated in this year's challenge! You guys are absolutely brilliant!


Two participants managed 31 posts and daily posting:

These two also followed the suggested pairings on all days but one. This is not the first time you have managed this and you keep on impressing me! Congratulations!

The main activity was still on Livejournal this year, but there are 5 posts on Dreamwidth that aren't crossposted to the other platforms, so please visit the masterlist for any posts you might have missed.

Here are some fun stats from this year's challenge:


  • 14 participants


  • 163 fics


  • 4 pieces of art


  • total word count: 100964


  • between 70-80 different pairings/threesomes/moresomes

As all time zones are now well into the month of June, I guess it's time for a little statistic and wrap-up post.

I must say I'm deeply impressed by you guys. The participation was way above my expectations, and it makes me so happy to see that people have really thrown themselves into this challenge and created so much amazing fic and art.

This year was our 5th year running this fest, and we had 16 participants.
[info]_melodic_
[info]akatnamedeaster
[info]alisanne
[info]burnin_up_a_sun
[info]digthewriter
[info]gracerene
[info]josephinestone
[info]kitty_fic
[info]lightofdaye
[info]llaeyro
[info]mayorhaggar
[info]nimrod_9
[info]sdkshelly
[info]snapealina
[info]sweetsorcery
[info]torino10154


An extra shoutout goes to the five who managed daily posting, which I think is the highest number yet.
[info]_melodic_, [info]alisanne, [info]digthewriter, [info]gracerene, and [info]torino10154
Congratulations! You are all brilliant! three of these followed our suggested pairings the entire month, that's remarkable!

Below follows some random stats:

  • ETA: total word count was 175800 (give or take a few words)

  • 16 participants

  • 5 participants managed daily posting

  • 3 writers followed our suggested pairings every single day

  • 269 posts

  • 2 artists

  • 5 pieces of art

  • 84 different pairings

  • 13 threesomes

  • 1 Slytherin orgy

  • The most popular ship was by far Harry/Draco with 67 posts by 9 different participants

  • 55 ships were only used once

  • [info]sweetsorcery had the highest average word count (1891)

  • [info]kitty_fic wrote next-gen ships in all their posts

  • [info]digthewriter had the highest word count (23k), wrote the longest post (4900 words), and was also the only person to create both fic and art

In case some of you feel they have a story or a series they haven't wrapped up yet, I hope you will still pay some attention to this community the next few days. Even if we have entered June.

I hope you enjoyed playing in the hp_may_madness. Who knows, we might be back next year if people still want to play...

Thank you so much for playing! nim and I are so proud of you all!

Hi, chaps!

Did you know that we've had 63 entries so far? And we're only halfway!

I've gone through the entries and tagged them, so all new participants and kinks should now have tags you can use for later entries.

Keep up the good work, folks, you are truly amazing!

Hello, all you amazing people!

I must say I'm seriously impressed what you all have managed to do this month!

I've been working a masterlist, which you can find here, and I've written down some more or less fascinating and useless stats.

HP May Madness 2014

  • 17 different participants (see full list at the end)

  • 217 entries

  • over 77 different pairings and moresomes

  • 13 pieces of art

  • over 124000 words


The most popular pairings this year were:

  1. Severus Snape/Remus Lupin

  2. Severus Snape/Harry Potter

  3. Severus Snape/Sirius Black

  4. Remus Lupin/Sirius Black

  5. Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger

  6. Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy

  7. Luna Lovegood/Draco Malfoy


4 participants managed daily posting of at least 200 words:
[info]alisanne
[info]katekintail
[info]nimrod_9
[info]torino10154

Give them a big round of applause! I'm so proud of all of you!


I'd also like to mention some participants who I feel deserve some extra recognition

[info]imera managed to write 29 entries (and post 26 of them) during the month and had by far the highest word count of all with 39146 words. [info]imera also had the longest entry (2692 words).

[info]akatnamedeaster was the only artist to participate this year, and we've enjoyed the wonderful and hot sketches so very much! *fans self*

[info]lightofdaye came out of nowhere on day 21 with the story "Unexpected". Best (unintended?) pun of the year!

Last, but not least, my hero, [info]nimrod_9!
I see my name on a lot of prompt posts this year, but the truth is [info]nimrod_9 has been doing 99% of the work this time and on top of that managed daily posting! I bow down before you!


Thank you all for playing with us. You are BRILLIANT! Give yourself a pat on the back and some well-deserved rest after this madness. Icons will be up soon.
