FALL FIC AND ART FEST
The days are slowly getting shorter. Madame Malkin's is featuring school robes. The swimming pools are closing for the year. Quiet waves lap at lonely beaches. Fortesque's is gearing up for one last busy week. There's time for one last quick shag with your summer fling.
It's time to go Back To School!
Welcome to stagnight's Back To School Fic and Art Fest*
Here's how it works:
1) Pick a prompt from the list below. You can also mix and match prompts.
2) Write a gen or slash fic or create some art of any length or size with the theme of Back To School in the equation in some fashion (it can also be about that time of year—no requirement that works feature James at Hogwarts).
3) Have a beta review your work. If you need a beta, let us know and we can help you find one.
4) Post said fic anytime between September 15th and October 31st. (If you are not a member with current posting access, email your work to stagnight at gmail dot com and we will post it for you. Please send it to us formatted exactly as you want it to appear and include your LJ/IJ name).
5) Read and comment on the other fics and art posted to the fest.
6) Write lots of porn featuring James in threesomes with Remus and Sirius. (Ooooops. How did that slip in?)
7) If you finish the first prompt(s) you pick, feel free to pick another.
8) Use any prompt you want. We will delete a prompt after it has been used two times (how's that for a show of optimism?).
Here are the prompts:
Topics:
1) Bludgers and quills
2) Wrong proportions
3) Wandless magic
4) McGonagall's desk
5) Dress code violation
6) Muggle music
7) Forest Creatures
8) Loops and dives
9) Whispered incantation
10) Notes and sketches
