Portus Envy

Hi everybody!

Convention season is upon us and many lucky fans are getting ready to head out to Leaky Con to squee and party and discuss Snape their favourite HP characters, scenarios, and pairings to their fangirls' (and fanguys') heart's content.

Am I the only one with Leaky Con Envy around here?

There's just one cure I know for these blues--let's have some fun of our own.

Suffering from Leaky Con Envy? Well, we've got the cure.

You may not be going to Leaky, but that doesn't mean you can't have any fun this week!

As thrilled as we all are for our fandom friends who are enjoying the festivities in Boston (and really, we are thrilled), that doesn't mean that those of us who are missing it have to miss out. Instead of sitting around and feeling sad and allowing IJ to slow to a crawl this week, why not channel all that frustration into some fabulous creativity? There are tons of talented people who won't be at Leaky this week, and if we put our heads together, we can entertain one another quite well.

Last summer, when bluestocking79 and I set up hpconenvy (formerly portus_envy), this community was flooded with fantastic drabble, icon, and art challenges, offers of promts, and other special projects to entertain us all.

Let this community serve as your nexus of entertainment. We aim to showcase all the challenges, stories, art, icons and more that are produced by your fellow Leaky outcasts. Offering to write custom drabbles for those with Leaky Envy? Post your offer here! Have you come up with a fun game for others to play? Post it! If you're moved to start a special project, write fic, create icons, drabble or drawble this week, then please feel free to post a link or announcement here, so that others can see it and enjoy. The more people that get involved, the better!

So if you're looking for a good way to pass the week, looking to commiserate with fellow fans or are interested in meeting new and different people from all corners of the HP fandom, then come surf hpconenvy and see what's going on! As far as we're concerned, this is our own sort of party, and we're planning to have plenty of fun at it.

Please, come join the celebration!

FYI: This comm will be moved to  hpconenvy to match the LJ comm of (almost) the same name. We apologize for the inconvenience--come on by and join up and don't miss out on any of the fun!

Name: The Dangers of the Ticky-Box
Author:melfinatheblue
Rating:NC-17
Characters:Lucius, Severus, Draco, Bill Weasley, Narcissa, and random aurors
Prompt: Guilty from my 25prompts table
Warnings: smut, slash, incest, dubcon,
Word Count: 1450ish
Summary: The ticky box continues its plan to take over the world via smut. Now that it has corrupted Lucius and Severus, it has set its sights on Draco and Bill.
Author's Note: This is a sequel to Ticky Box Threesome, which you can find on lj here or ij here. This fic decided to be about serious things (or as serious as you can get where there is a ticky box involved.)

I had already planned to write this story before portus_envy was created, but in honor of the comm, I threw in references to Lupin attending an anime convention, and Snape a Potions symposium! ^_^

Title: Watching Videos
Author: geri_chan
Rating: R
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Word count: ~7240
Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part.
Warning: AU; part of my Always series, but you don't need to have read the other stories to follow this chapter.
Sequel to: Fathers' Day (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) and Vanilla.

Summary: The further adventures of Snape and Lupin at the love hotel. (More silliness than smut!)

Special thanks to: myene_01, who not only suggested the title of the video, but came up with the porn names for the most characters as well! ^_^ I wasn't quite as creative, so the silly but non-smutty names are mine.

Author's note 1: For readers who are unfamiliar with the previous stories or the Japanese concept of love hotels, they are places where rooms are rented out, hourly or for the night, specifically as a place for couples to go and have sex.

For morethansirius: Perhaps a Malfoy family moment at the Manor. Draco brings his girlfriend home.

Again, so sorry I couldn’t manage your first prompt. Thank you for being so understanding.

Lucius/Narcissa, Draco/Asteria, R for half-nekkid Lucius in a corset, 2500 words.


( Like Father, Like Son )

snegurochka_lee started her own little informal terminus_envy-type challenge for her Friends list on IJ, and it morphed into the Least Favourite Character/Pairing Drabble/Drawble & Ficlet Challenge! This isn't exactly my least favorite pairing, but I certainly don't like canon-Sirius, and I'm not generally fond of gender-switch stories. However, this did turn out to be fun to write!

Title: Double Date
Author: geri_chan
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sirius/girl-Snape, James/Lily
Word count: ~3550
Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part.
Warning: gender-switch Snape

Summary: Set during the Marauders era, Lily agrees to go on a date with James--but only if he can find a date for Snape, too.

For sc010f - Draco getting some action (doesn't have to be THAT kind) one summer afternoon


Draco/Ast*ria, sorta kinda crossover-y (James Bond), PG-13, 2000 words


( From France With Love )

Inspired by a_bees_buzz's excellent ticky box smut, I give you a sequel of sorts...(oh, and the ticky box is on a piece of paper, just in case you needed to know)

TICKY BOX THREESOME!
About 900 words, pure pr0n, staring Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy, and the infamous ticky box. It starts off, more or less from where she stopped, so read hers first.
( click here for ticky box madness )

Last time around I had trouble staying within the word count, so this time I'll offer only two ficlets (one for each of the two first commenters) but they'll be 2000-3000 words long.

Please specify the pairing and genre you want.

There's an SSHG_exchange in the works, so perhaps you'll prefer to abstain from Snermione here so as not to overdose? Also, I'm kind of in the mood for crossovers atm... Not sure I'll know the other fandom you might suggest but suggesting won't hurt.

All up to you though, I don't mean to be prescriptive. Unleash your wildest fiction fantasies! ;)

I'll try to post the fics during Terminus itself.

For camillo1978
Lucius Malfoy completely losing his sang froid, owing to an encounter with the one woman capable of making him bluster, Minerva McGonagall...

1200 words, PG-13


( Chastised )

For machshefa:
SS/HG, romance, smut, and something that they have to work out between the two of them

4000 words, NC-17
unbeta’ed
All my thanks to apisa_b for the html tutorial.
Note to readers: this is probably best viewed under IJ’s default setting or with another light background colour (I would personally recommend the “worksafe” setting). Copying and pasting into a word document should also work.

For angela_snape, who wanted Snarry, Chocolate and suggestiveness. This didn't actually turn out as suggestive I'd originally planned; the story surprised me by having something more serious at its core than I expected. Also, I think it's more preslash than slash, and whether a person reads it as gen or slash is probably a matter of perspective. But I hope you enjoy it anyway!

Title: Détente

A Muggle Holiday

Since bluestocking79 was so kind to write Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered for me.

I have tried to capture Hermione with a Moonstone Earring.

In anime form.

I bought some new pencils today--watercolor pencils. My paper didn't like the water too much so it shows a bit wrinkled in the scan (even after I tried to iron it). This is all experimental.

For angela_snape:
How about Charlie/Kingsley, romance, and something to do with dragons as the prompt?

2500 words, strictly PG

( A Horntailed Hungarian Romance )

Just a couple of icons today... hope ya'll like!
