the swamp

Ascendio is the Harry Potter fan convention happening this coming July in Orlando, FL. The convention features all sorts of fanworks, including a craft fair, two Potter-themed musicals, Wrock, and of course fanfic readings.

ravenna_c_tan is in charge of arranging the fanfic readings, and to encourage much slashy Snarry goodness, would like there to be a Snape Potter Story Hour. Anyone who has posted a fic in Snape Potter or who has participated in a Snape Potter fest is eligible to read, and of course all Ascendio attendees (who are 18+ in age) are welcome to attend! It'll be a great time to share the Snarry fandom love and feature the Snape Potter community!

If you're interested in reading at the convention, either in Snape Potter Hour or (gasp!) some other pairing, please email Ravenna at fanfic@hp2012.org.

For more info on Ascendio, check out the con website: http://hp2012.org/ or LJ comm: http://ascendio2012.livejournal.com

banner by swtalmnd and art by stellamoon

The Snarry-a-Thon is open to everyone over age 18 and anyone may claim a prompt. A list of fest rules and FAQs can be found here. Each prompt may be claimed up to four times - twice by an author and twice by an artist. If you would prefer to use a prompt of your own creation or a prompt from a previous Snarry-a-Thon, please claim Wild Card #1. You can find previous prompt posts here, here, here, and here.

When you sign up, you do not have to list an alternate prompt. But if you do, priority will always be given to your first choice. As this is not an exchange fest, authors and artists should feel free to interpret/adapt the prompts in whatever manner you decide. Requests for specific characters (other than Snape and Harry), specific kinks (unless they are critical to the spirit of the prompt), situations, time periods, or type of ending are up to the discretion of the writer/artist and prompts may have been edited for inclusion. Unedited prompts can be found at the original "Call for Prompts" post on DW, LJ, or IJ.
