HP Cross-Gen Fest?

So...I was making a list of all of my favorite pairings, as you do, and realized that significant chuck of them are cross-gen pairings. Which got me thinking about all the fests I follow and the fact that I can think of a single active fest for all-pairing Cross-Gen fic. I know there is

hp_darkages, for angsty cross-gen, but I'm not a huge angst reader, and while I definitely enjoy in on occasion, a whole fest of angst overwhelms me. There are also a few pairing-specific cross-gen fests, like the Snarry-a-Thon at

snape_potter and

hds_beltane, but I was thinking on a broader scale. I know there was

hp_cross_fest, but I don't think that has run in 4-5 years....

Anyways, am I missing a fest? Or is fandom just not as interested in cross-gen as I am? I'm curious about people's opinions/stance etc. and since I have been dying to use LJ's poll feature, I figured this would be a good chance!

Okay, my answers make me seem confused, so I feel I must explain.

I'm not really into cross-gen, and none of my favourite pairings are cross-gen. But if I was to read it, I think Trio/Next Gen would be what would interest me the most, because I don't have too many head canons for the Next Gen, as I already do for Maurader's Era. I like Teddy/Victorie and Albus Severus/Scorpius, but outside that every other Next Gen character is open.

Also, as a side pairing to Harry/Draco I like Harry/Scorpius and Draco/Albus Severus. And because of my James/Sirius head canon, I can see an unhealthy Harry/Sirius. I still don't really seek it out to read it.

Writing is completely different though. If I see a prompt that I like with a pairing I think I can make the story make sense with, then I'll write it. Especially if it is for rare characters that I have no specific head canon for.

Yeah, that totally makes sense! It can be hard to multi-ship once you get a solid head-canon in place for certain characters!

And I totally love a messed up Sirius/Harry with all the misplaced James feelings!
