The Aurors Prompt-Fest!!

[starlady]

First: The Aurors Prompt-Fest is open for signups and prompts!!

Are you fan of cop dramas on TV? Is Mad-Eye Moody one of your favorite Harry Potter characters? Ever wish the series had chucked Quidditch in favor of more Defense Against the Dark Arts?

Then you would like The Aurors, the TV show that, alas, never existed. Except here, in fanfic form! This is a prompt meme inspired by that fan "trailer," for readers and writers who would love to see a grittier, more adult Harry Potter, focused on the men and women (and possibly some non-humans, too) who defend both the wizarding and Muggle worlds against evil magic.

Signups are open now; close on December 8th at 8 p.m. EST; stories are due by the same time on January 8th, and will be opened for reading on the 9th. They'll be anonymous to begin with; author reveal will follow a week later.

swan_tower and I are your hosts. Please leave prompts if you have them, sign up if you see any that tickle your fancy, and spread the word!

Quick question!

The rules don't seem to say if one can participate in the fest but *not* claim any prompts. Basically, submit work that's not based off of a prompt but fits the theme of the fest.

Looks like it should be possible; our collection is open and unmoderated, so if you pull it up in the appropriate field when you post a new work, it should go in. If it doesn't, though, feel free to post it as a claim to one of my prompts (russian_blue) -- I won't mind.

We may get a suitable prompt before the week is out, though, which would remove the whole problem. :-)
