HP Wankfest 2011

wanking_mods @ 04:43 pm: Deadline Approaching & Wanktastic Poll II
Hello again, all! It's about time for a friendly reminder that the Wankfest due date is just under a week away. We've already received a number of submissions, and this is shaping up to be a great fest! If you haven't finished your pieces yet, get to wanking! :D

Well, according to our last poll, the HP character who was the most habitual wanker during the canon years was Sirius Black! Er, congratulations to Sirius. He came out on top even though he had two fewer wanking years than many other characters. Apparently he had nothing better to do while stuck in Azkaban and Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, eh?

Harry Potter came in second place, and Severus Snape was a very close third. I bet Snape would be decidedly unhappy to know that he'd lost to both Sirius and Harry. Well, then again, considering the nature of the competition... perhaps not!

The top four reasons given for all that wanking, in order, were: It's the best way to deal with free time, it's the best way to deal with stress, they were just wankers, and hormones. Thus proving that masturbation is entirely normal and natural, and good for what ails ya. ;)

And now, another brief poll to pass the time while we're waiting for National Masturbation Month to arrive:

Which Character Could Benefit Most from a Good Wank?

Hi folks,

I know a lot of you are probably finishing up your Wankfest entries right now, and sending them off to your betas. If you are lucky enough to have one, that is. But what if you don't?

Fortunately, the HP fandom seems blessed with a goodly number of generous and talented folks who are often willing to perform this service. We (the mods, that is) just don't know who all of you are.

So, please consider this post as a sort of clearing house. If you are willing to beta read a piece or two, please post here to let people know. It might be wise to include any squicks or characters you aren't willing to read. You don't have to be an entrant to be a beta. Watchers and other interested parties are most welcome, of course, and this is a great way to be involved in the fest. (Believe me, betas really help the process.)

If you need a beta, you're also welcome to post here. You don't have to give away the nature of your fic -- you could just say about how long it is and what you need help with, and then work out the details when you find someone.

We're hoping this post can serve as sort of a meet-up station for betas (you wonderful, blessed creatures) and the writers who need them.

Thanks for your attention. You may now return to your regularly scheduled program.
