A Pale Horse

Hi everyone! Remix fics were due to be posted today--thanks to everyone for playing! Below the cut is our master list, which we'll update as additional remix challenge fics are posted. Don't forget, authors tend to appreciate feedback if you enjoyed their work! :D

Title: White Shades, Black Morning (the In-Between Place Remix)
Author: snegurochka_lee
Established pairing: Remus/James/Sirius
Infidelity pairing: Remus/Severus
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Angst
Word Count: ~750
Warnings: Infidelity, but you might also view it as simply non-exclusivity, depending on your goggles.
Summary: You get him in the shadowed times, those precious, hidden hours between dawn and eternity when the castle sleeps, or the Quidditch pitch roars, or the sweet, gummy stains of Honeydukes drip from fingers too far away to care where he is.
Notes: Written for the All (Re)Mixed Up Challenge, this is a remix of purple_chalk's enchanting fic, five shades of white. It will help an awful lot to read that before this one; it won't take you long. :) I turned it around to Snape's POV and made it more overtly an infidelity ficlet (as per the challenge).

White Shades, Black Morning (the In-Between Place Remix)

Well, folks, today is technically the deadline for our All (Re)Mixed Up Challenge. We have at least one entry posted, yay! Alas, several of us (including your mods) are not quite done with our remixes.

So, we're going to extend the deadline until Friday, October 30.

One more week to finish and post your infidelity-themed remix! Remember, it can be as short as a drabble, or as long as you want. Let's get remixing, and get some more infidelity fic out there next week!

Let us know if you have any questions.

Title: Stolen Moments (This Whirlwind) (Hermione/Draco)

Infidelity Pairing Hermione/Draco

Okay! Sign-ups are now closed for the All (Re)Mixed Up Challenge. The following is a list of our participants:

woldy (sort of) ;)

Go back and have a look at the sign-up post, if you haven't already been following it, and do what you need to do to choose the story you want to remix! Remember, you can only choose from the links at that post. You can read through a few of them (or all of them!), or go by pairings that interest you, or whatever other system you'd like to use.

You don't need to officially pick a fic (ie: you don't need to respond to any comments to 'claim' one); keep it a surprise if you'd like! If you do want to ask questions of the original author, though, feel free to do that.

Remember that the full list of rules are also at the sign-up & link post. Post your Remix here at the community before October 23 (be sure it features infidelity in some way, and be sure to credit the original author!)

And last but not least: have fun!

(And watchers: look for some great Remixes to be posted in the next 6 weeks. Be sure to give our Remix authors some feedback if you read something you like.) :)

Just a reminder that sign-ups for the All (Re)Mixed Up Challenge officially end tonight!

Check out the sign up post for the full rules, but remember, the stories or art you offer up for remixing don't have to be about infidelity already -- but the Remix of them does! How you approach that is up to you. If you're not one for NC-17 scenes, we like genfic or art just fine, too, as long as there is still some form of an infidelity theme present.

Artists, we'd especially love to see you!

And if you've been thinking of signing up with links to your stories/art but aren't sure you'll have time to submit your own remix, we're relaxing the give-and-take rule a little bit. To expand the pool of links available for remixing by our intrepid participants, go ahead and leave us links to any of your work you'd like to see remixed (two maximum!)

Submissions will be due October 23, remember.

Questions? Ask away! And then go sign up!

(Links go to our LJ comm, so you can see other folks' sign-ups, but if you'd rather sign up at IJ, see this post!

Hi ya'll! It's been a little while since our Fabulous No-Pressure Laissez Faire Challenge and we're kicking off a new one! Announcing --

The All (Re)Mixed Up Challenge!

Like last time, this'll be an easy-going good time—but instead of submitting prompts, you'll submit UP TO TWO of your fics/art for someone else to REMIX!

Wait, what's a remix?
Check out the Remix Redux FAQ for more info. Basically, someone else will re-create your work by taking a different point of view, using a different chronology, etc. We here at hp_unfaithful think that infidelity stories make a great genre for remixing – to get either another character's POV on the issue, or to see the affair from a slightly different angle.

Cool! How do I sign-up?
Just fill out the template below in a comment to this post to sign up.

Once you've linked your own stories/art, return to this post over the next week or so and choose someone else's fic or art that you'd like to remix. You can reply to their comment if you want (ie: if you want to chat about the remix), but you don't have to! You can keep your choice a secret if you'd rather, until you finish and post the remix.

When is the deadline?
The due date for posting your remixes is October 23, but you can post sooner than that if you like. In fact, the sooner, the better! If you post early, your remix might just get more attention than if it's in a glut of last-minutes posts on the day of the deadline. ;)

We don't have too many rules and notes of caution, but here they are:

1. If you sign up and post a remix, there's NO guarantee that someone will pick and remix one of your works. This isn't meant to be a gift exchange. Similarly, the works you make available for remixing might be remixed by multiple authors/artists.

2. If you sign up and make your work available for remixing, we assume you'll be posting a remix of someone else's work. No one's going to beat down your door if you don't, but you want to see more infidelity-themed work out there, right? Also, it'd be really, REALLY terrific if you could help us keep things balanced in this challenge.

3. The only requirement for remixes is that the central theme be infidelity; there are no other format or content-related restrictions (e.g., regarding slash/het/gen). So for example, if your original work features Harry/Ginny and no infidelity, keep in mind the remix of your fic could involve Harry cheating on Ginny with Draco. Similarly, if you're an author, the remix of your fic might be art, and vice versa.

4. Remixers may only remix works explicitly made available for remixing by the original author/artist. This is pretty basic—DO NOT remix something unless that work is specifically referenced in a sign-up post below.

Sign-Up Template – example: (please include links and make sure the fics/art are unlocked!)

<b>Original author/artist:</b> [ie: you] <b>Fic/Art to be remixed (UP TO TWO); pairing; rating; genre:</b> 1. Title: Pairing(s); rating: Summary: Link: 2. Title: Pairing(s); rating: Summary: Link:

Sign-ups will close on August 31. After that, no new links will be accepted, but participants can continue to peruse the links and remix however many stories/art they wish before the deadline of October 23.

Credit to musesfool and her Remix Redux fest for the concept. If you want more background on remixing, again, take a look at the Remix Redux FAQs here. Let us know if you have any questions! And have fun!

Title: Like Poison

Infidelity Pairing: Sirius/Remus
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): AU, infidelity
Length: 1,655
Summary: His kisses are like poison: I know they will be the end of me, that they will kill me slowly and painfully.
Disclaimer: This is a work of fanfiction set in the Harry Potter universe – all recognisable characters and settings are the property of J. K. Rowling and her associates. No copyright infringement is intended. No profit is made from this work. Please observe your local laws with regards to the age-limit and content of this work.
Author's Notes: This is AU – I could write the same story in the afterlife, since everyone involved here died; so, if you really hate AUs, you can imagine they are all dead and happy about it, living in the Great Beyond.

Many thanks to my beta, Minnow.

Like Poison

This was my daily_deviant entry for March which I meant to post here, but, erm, completely forgot. Until now. (I blame school.)

Title: A Different Kind of Hungry
Author: nehalenia
Established Pairings: Remus/Tonks, Ron/Hermione
Infidelity Paring:Remus Lupin/Hermione Granger-Weasley
Rating: NC17
Genre: Romance, PWP, mayb a bit of Angst
Word Count: 3328
Warnings: Infidelity, het, anal, liberal use of a certain "c" word; also AU because everyone's alive.
Summary: Mrs. Weasley has prepared a lovely holiday dinner at the Burrow, but Hermione wants something that's decidedly off the menu.
Notes: Dear god, I wrote a non-Snape pairing fic! And on top of that, it's het!!! Which is just to say, uhm, don't expect too much. ;) (There's a reason I write slash: it's because I suck at writing het. Still, smut is smut and it's good to try new things. Cest la vie.)

( A Different Kind of Hungry )

That's a wrap, folks! Thanks to everyone who participated in the Fabulous No-Pressure Laissez-Faire HP_Unfaithful Challenge, from the prompt-leavers to the prompt-claimers, lurkers, writers, artists, and everyone who has left some feedback.

The masterlist is under the cut. If you haven't completed your claim yet, never fear. You can post it whenever it's done, and if you leave me a link here, I'll add it to the list. See? No pressure. Laissez-faire. :)

Meanwhile, we still have an awful lot of good prompts listed in the original prompt-claiming post. They are free and up for grabs now for anyone who needs an infidelity bunny or two. Credit to this comm would be nice, if you take one and end up using it, but no need to sign up for them anymore.

Please do browse the masterlist and catch up on any fic or art you might have missed – both at LJ and IJ. The art and stories are listed in order posted, because I am not adept enough at either the alphabet or pairings to have made it more specific. :) (Actually! I debated splitting it by slash/het/femslash, but in fact – and this warms my pansexual, label-defying heart – most stories would not have fit in those types of categories. Hurrah for non-categorisation!) Let me know if I've missed your piece here.

Pairings are listed with the established pairing(s) first and the infidelity pairing(s) second.

Finally, authors and artists always love to get feedback on their pieces, if you see something you like.

( Masterlist! )

Thanks for playing! We'll have to do this again sometime. :)

Rating: R
Genre: Humorish
Word Count: 3000

( Something Like Comparing a grossly over-long title to a story that's not really even that funny )

A/N: Written for the hp_unfaithful no-pressure laissez faire challenge. The prompt I was working from was, a character feels guilty about being unfaithful. Their partner reacts in a surprising way. It …went a different direction than I initially had in mind, but it probably worked better anyway. Heh. Thanks to Leni Jess for the speedy beta.

Traces of Love

Just a reminder that our Fabulous No-Pressure Laissez-Faire HP_Unfaithful Challenge is drawing to a close this week! Please post your fic or art by February 26, in order for your mods to compile the masterlist by the end of the month.

The beauty of the FNPLF challenge is the flexibility, of course, and so if you aren't done yet, don't worry. The comm is always open for business, so you can post your piece whenever you're done. We'll do periodic updates to the masterlist once it's up.

If you've missed any of the entries so far, check out our handy challenge tag to catch up. Don't forget out our LJ mirror comm as well, where -- despite our efforts to lure more posters over here -- most authors have posted exclusively: the challenge tag at LJ.

See something you like? Go ahead and leave a few words of feedback for an infidelity author or artist today!

Thanks for playing, everyone! We are totally thrilled with the turnout so far, and anticipate even more fabulousness in the days to come. ♥

Title: Never the Straight and Narrow

Established pairing(s): Draco/Astoria
Infidelity pairing(s): Draco/Pansy
Rating: PG-13
Genre: drama, but in very light doses, also a bit of angst
Word Count: ~1000
Warnings: slight violence of the Hermione-sent-birds-after-Ron variety
Summary: The problem with Slytherins was that they never did anything in a straightforward manner.
Notes: There isn't much Draco/Pansy here but it does revolve around the infidelity against Astoria, so I hope that fits? Muchos gracias to ccharlotte for the beta. Written for the Fabulous No-Pressure Laissez-Faire Challenge. Prompt: "Why didn't you just ask her to marry you instead?"

( If they wanted to win a Quidditch game, they had to take out the other team's Seeker. To win the House Cup they made sure the other Houses were docked points for things they never did. If they loved someone, they married someone else, just to keep marriage from souring the relationship. )

PS. Mods, as this is my first post here, there may be a few tags missing here. Thanks!
