Winter Fests and Exchanges

[ceredwensirius]

I realize this is probably a crazy thing to be thinking about in the middle of summer, but... harry_holidays  sign ups are going on now, which is why I thought of it. So...... what are my options, guys? What winter fests are you doing? I know that I'll be doing something for daily_deviant  and rs_small_gifts  and I've been toying with the idea of hp_yule_balls , but I don't know what else is out there to choose from. I promised myself that I would not load myself down with fest fics this year but come September I won't have anything to write about and I will have missed the sign ups. I suspect this will make me whiny. When do sign ups for rs_small_gifts  start? Couldn't I have either the harry_holidays  or hp_yule_balls (I am NOT NOT NOT doing both) fic wrapped up before sign ups for rs_small_gifts  even got off the ground? Same for daily_deviant . Ack. Are there any other Remus/Sirius fests? Oh, oh! There is brighty18 's fest, isn't there? I didn't do it last year because I was swamped at work.


Oh, oh, oh! Speaking of which. I ran across something today! crack_broom  is hazardous for my writing. I end up reading pairings I don't even like. And worse! No Sirius! *gasps*

Anyway, over at lupin_snape  (don't ask me why I was reading there, I don't even like the pairing) they have a remix challenge just for that pairing. Why doesn't Remus/Sirius have that (does not want to mod another fest, does not want to mod another fest, does not want to mod another fest)? Remus/Sirius should totally have that. Someone needs to get on that pronto. Not me.

Did no one mention mini_fest?

mini_fest is the brain child of brissygirl. Who after seeing all the Christmas fests that were requesting sign-ups before the end of August. Decided to try and run a small christmas fest. Where you can write/draw whatever you like whatever rating you like, whatever pairing you like.

If you're writing you are only required to write a 500 word ficlet of any genre, characters/pairings, era that you like. There is no word limit other than the 500 words that you start with. If your muse if playing nicely and you want to write 5000 words you are more than welcome too.

If you're drawing pretty much anything goes.

All I ask is since this is a Christmas fest that entries have a Christmas/Holiday theme of some description, this includes traditional Yule or Solstice celebrations and any other religious or non-religious holiday held at the same time of year. This is a prompt fest, not an exchange. Prompts are available to everyone and can be used by multiple participants. Select as many prompts from the lists as you want and use them in any combination to create your fic/art.

I didn't know about that one! What an adorable idea! Do you know of any other Christmas fests? Isn't there a Santa something or other one?

I love South Park so much! That is my official Christmas icon, lol.

I am trying to decide exactly which ones I want to participate in. I suspect I am going to go with Harry Holidays simply because I can ask for both het and slash as gifts. I still enjoy reading the occasional Sirius/Hermione if it is well written, but there just isn't a lot of activity in that fandom anymore.

dearsanta - not many followers
hp_holidaygen - has produced masterpieces!
smutty_claus - het, very well established and has some good stuff in their archives!
undermistletoe - multifandom

Also,
hphalloweenfest and hp_halloween for my favorite holiday!

Remix Redux has been going on for many, many years. There used to be much more HP and many GREAT R/S remixs have resulted. I adore remix.......

[werewolfsfan.livejournal.com]

Do you want examples of "remixs I have loved.........?" I have both R/S and other HP amongst my favorites!
Maybe even a Supernatural one or two....

Yeah, I'm sure back in the heyday of HP Fandom there were a ton. I love remixes, too. It will be cool if this works out and there is a decent level of participation. *crosses fingers*

Awesome. Sounds good. Thanks!
