♥ hp_kinkfest – Anything Goes!
hp_kinkfest is all about writing/drawing kink and doing it well. Each participant chooses a kink (either their own or from a list of prompts) and creates a fanwork showcasing that kink. All genres, all pairings & solo, all kinks. The first HP Kinkfest was in 2010; 2018 the fest will go into its ninth round. HP Kinkfest is now on LJ (hp_kinkfest), on DW (hpkinkfest) and on tumblr (@hpkinkfest).
