Prompts & Claiming Post

Super awesome multi-fandom fest! Seriously considering taking part this year, and it's a great fest for giving you that extra bit of motivation to finish up any WIPs you might have lying around!



Join us at wipbigbang
Sign up April 30-May 9 and Finish Your Sh**!
This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them! All fandoms welcome!

hp_goldenage has finished posting for their 2020 Salt & Pepper fest and y'all should definitely check out this year's entries! You can find them all on dreamwidth or on their AO3 collection and, as always, there's a huge variety of genres and pairings to fit your fancy! Reveals are this Friday, so there's still time to give the anon authors some love!

Join dracotops_harry for the 2020 fest. It's our tenth year and we're going out with a bang!

Challenge #11: In your own space, recommend a fannish or creative resource.

'll recommend three because that seems like a nice number! Two HP-specific ones, and one that is more broad.

Harry Potter Resources

hp-lexicon: This website, which describes itself as: "The most compleat and amazing reference to the wonderful world of Harry Potter" is my go-to when I want to confirm some detail in my fics (and don't want to spend ages combing through the books themselves. It's accurate, detailed, and super useful!

potterwords: this is an old LJ community that has curated the canonical spellings/capitalizations of the various words used throughout the Harry Potter series. If I'm ever unsure if a word should be capitalized in particular, this is where I go to double check!

General Resource

writingwithcolor: This is an awesome resource if you are writing characters of color. As they put it: "We are dedicated to writing and resources centered on racial & ethnic diversity. We share Q&A-style writing advice, guides, book recommendations and more"

Challenge #12: Commit an Act of Kindness (or two or three ♥)

Done! ♥

Hello friends! Just wanted to post a quick drive-by reminder for any of my friends who are members (current or past!) of daily_deviant that they are still collecting member prompts for their Banging Birthday fest! The more the merrier, and you don't have to be an active member or planning to claim for the fest to leave some prompts. I'd love LOTS of options to choose from, so please do leave your two prompts and spread the smutty love!

Prompting Post! (locked to DD members)

In case you missed it, hpkinkfest is currently accepting prompts for their round 11 run until Noon CST on January 10, so just a little over 24 hours left! The prompting post on DW is linked below, and there is also a link to a google form on that post if you'd prefer to leave your prompts that way! Everybody can leave up to 8 prompts featuring any HP characters/pairings and kinks your heart desires! It's absolutely one of my favorite fests in the fandom, and I really encourage everybody to leave prompts. :D

PROMPTING POST

Will likely continue to combine these challenges and post every couple of days, just because there are a number of them I've done before! :D



Challenge #3: Pimp Your Favorite Communities, Fests or Challenges!

I could pick a whole host of options, but I'll go ahead and stick with fests/comms that I don't personally mod, as obviously I'm a bit biased. ;) I'm also limiting myself to just five, otherwise I'd be here all day!

daily_deviant: I know a lot of people have mentioned this in their favorites, but that should tell you how awesome it is! Some of my very favorite fics that I've read and written have been for this community, and I love that it provides a safe space for boundary pushing. You will see every kind of kink and pairing under the sun there, and everybody is super open and supportive and nobody thinks you're weird for writing Centaur porn or Sirius having sex with his motorbike... Super excited about the comm migrating this year to Dreamwidth, and I'm really hoping it will lead to increased participation!

hp_goldenage: One of the fests I make an effort to participate in every single year! Both because I think it's really well run and modded, and because I think it's a fest that is really filling a gap in the community. I'll admit, I don't write a ton of older characters, which is definitely influenced by my own age, but I love the chance to write something different for this fest. There's always a lot of variety as well, so there's something for everybody!

bbtp_challenge: I've loved this challenge for years and it continues to be a favorite! It's a multi-fandom, one-day smut "fest" where the only rule is to post a smutty fic on September 1. It's very chill and open to everybody (who writes porn) and I love it as it's the perfect excuse for me to prioritize and actually write one of the smutty little plot bunnies that are hopping around in my head!

hpfemslash-minifest: One of my personal goals for 2019 was to write more femslash (be the change you want to see in the world and all that) and this comm was SUCH a great, low-stress way to do that! They release a trio of prompts every two months, but you can also write for any of the past challenges whenever you'd like! I've written for every month/bi-month they've had prompts, and it's really helped keep me consistent with my femslash content.

getyourwordsout: This is an awesome community centered around making a writing goal (either in WC or number of writing days) throughout the year. There is lots of accountability and support, and it's a really wonderful, encouraging place for writers! Sign-ups are open until January 15, so there is still some time if you're interested! You can learn more about it here!

Challenge #4: Set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not.

I've actually already done this as part of my 2019 wrap-up! You can read about my 2020 writing goals HERE!

daily_deviant is hosting a Comment Kink Meme for their Kinky Kristmas this year, and it just went live! Only members are allowed to leave prompts, but members and watchers alike are allowed to claim, and there are so many delicious options to choose from! There is definitely something for everybody, and what better way to work out some of the holiday stress than writing a quick bit of comment!porn??

daily_deviant has officially completed their move to dreamwidth (hooray!) and has opened up prompting for their Kinky Kristmas Comment Kink Meme! Prompting is currently open to all Daily Deviant members, and festivities will officially begin this Sunday, December 15! Even if you're not a currently posting member, you're welcome to leave prompts, though you'll need to make sure you've joined the comm! You can find out more about how to do that here. Anyway, members get to leave up to 3 prompts, and I definitely suggest y'all do that before Sunday so that I have lots of smutty, filthy options for my various fills. :D
