hd_erised is back, baby! This is actually going to be my last year modding, which is bittersweet. But I've been drifting away from fandom in general, and HP in particular, for a long time now, and I feel ready to say goodbye. If any of y'all are Drarry-inclined, I'd love to see you join! <3

Posting has officially concluded for the 2018 harrydracobang! Modding this beast was a lot of work, but it was so much fun to see everything come together, and to have that extra incentive to complete my own beast of a fic. The link to the masterlist is below, as well as the link to the AO3 collection where all of the fics are hosted! There was a HUGE variety of fics in the fest this year, so there's bound to be at least ONE fic that appeals to you Drarry fans. I hope y'all will look through the offerings and give them a read! ♥

There are approximately 20 fics with accompanying art that will be posting over the next two weeks, and we can't share every single one of them with you! Follow on tumblr to catch the headers as the fics go live, and check out AO3 collection to read the amazing fic and view the glorious art!

If you're interested in cross generational HP pairings, then you should check out the prompts available for claiming over at hp-crossgenfest. There are a ton of pairings and pairing types available for claiming, and if nothing appeals, you can always do a self prompt! The fest headers will be posted to tumblr & livejournal this year, with all entries exclusively hosted on AO3. This may very well be the last year of the fest, so if you're on the fence, you should definitely take the plunge! :D

Hi friends! In case you missed it, prompting is open over at hp_crossgenfest! Any HP pairing is allowed, as long as there is a 10+ year age difference. The fest is running on livejournal and tumblr this year (with all works being hosted exclusively on AO3), so you can prompt either on the livejournal post, or via a google form, whichever you prefer!

For those of you paying super close attention to my posts, you might have noticed a couple of references to a super secret project that I was working on. Well, I am SO EXCITED to announce that the time for secrecy has come to an end!

Come join harrydracobang!

That's right folks, next year in 2018 we'll be hosting a Harry/Draco Big Bang on livejournal, AO3, & tumblr. It's an idea that capitu, writcraft, and I have been toying with for over a year now, and we're really stoked to make that dream a reality. More information, including rules, how to participate, and a full schedule, can be found by clicking on the banner above. We'll also be running everything on tumblr as well, so feel free to follow harrydracobang over there if you have a tumblr account. :D

I hope you're all getting as excited as we are, and I really hope you'll consider signing up as a writer or artist!

You guys, I am filled with feels.

hp_crossgenfest posted reveals a week ago, and i swear, each year this fest is more and more awesome.

I adore all the fests I mod, but this one will always have a special place in my heart. It was the first fest I modded, a comm I created from scratch and a fest I pretty much built from the ground up. I solo-mod this one, which has been stressful at times, but generally has been totally fine, because it's a pretty chill fest, and the past two years in particular, people have been great about communicating and submitting.

Every year the fest has run (3 years now) there have been more submissions than the last. I mean, for a smaller fandom, the fact that this rare-pair fest has shown marked growth is really freaking awesome.

This year was particularly great, with so many different pairings and pairing types, short fic and long fic, fluffy fic and smutty fic and dark fic. And art! Such glorious art! *happy sigh*

And. AND!! So many recs! Reccing is generally down in fandom (or it seems to be) but this fests always seems to bring reccers out from hiding. 16 of the 33 submissions qualified for a hot rec this year. SIXTEEN! That means that nearly half of all submissions received two or more recs, which makes me so freaking happy. I love seeing submissions be well received. :D

Anyway, I know a large part of this success has to do with my lovely flist. Many of you have supported the fest by participating or pimping or commenting or reccing (or all FOUR!) and I am really pleased and grateful for the support and enthusiasm. It's made modding this fest such a pleasure. <3
