SNARRY-A-THON16 PROMPT CLAIMING IS NOW OPEN CLOSED

art by stellamoon

The Snarry-a-Thon is open to everyone over age 18 and anyone may claim a prompt. A list of fest rules and FAQs can be found here. Each prompt may be claimed up to four times - twice by an author and twice by an artist. If you would prefer to use a prompt of your own creation or any of the over 1,700 prompts from a previous Snarry-a-Thon, please claim Wild Card #1. You can find previous prompt posts at these links: 2009, part 1, 2009, part 2, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. If you are feeling ~adventurous, please select Wild Card #2 and the mods will assign a prompt to you.

When you sign up, you do not have to list an alternate prompt. But if you do, priority will always be given to your first choice. As this is not an exchange fest, authors and artists should feel free to interpret/adapt the prompts in whatever manner you decide. Requests for specific characters (other than Snape and Harry), specific kinks (unless they are critical to the spirit of the prompt), situations, time periods, or type of ending are up to the discretion of the writer/artist and prompts may have been edited for inclusion. Unedited prompts can be found at the original "Call for Prompts" posts on LJ, IJ, and DW.

Snarry-a-Thon 2016 - The course of true love never did run smooth. ♥♥♥

Prompting is now CLOSED!

art by stellamoon

Don't hold back. All kinds of prompts are welcome - happy prompts, dark prompts, silly prompts, kinky prompts, fluffy prompts, romantic prompts, art prompts, prompts set in the past, present, or future, prompts from any universe, both unique ideas and beloved fandom tropes....We welcome any flavour of Snarry. Let your fantasies run wild! Submitting prompts doesn't commit you to anything.

Each person may leave up to SEVEN prompts but please, no more. And because we will be posting prompts inside a text box, we ask people please try to limit your prompts to no more than two or three sentences. We would like to reiterate that Snarry-a-Thon is not an exchange and personal preferences like who tops or side-pairings not essential to the spirit of the prompt may be edited from the final prompt. Last year's prompt table is here if you'd like to get a better idea what your prompt will look like in its final form.

The mods will stop taking prompts at 11:59 pm (EST) on Sunday, January 31. After we stop taking prompts, a complete list of all prompts will be posted at 12 pm (EST) on February 1. Comments will be temporarily disabled to give everyone a chance to read over the entire list of prompts and decide which prompt they would like to claim. On Tuesday, February 2, at 12 pm (EST), comments will be enabled on the post and claiming of prompts will begin.
