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!

You're welcome! :D

I went through the 'harry potter' interest tag on Dreamwidth, and found more promo-welcoming communities.

hpslash - slash and femmeslash
puppylove - Remus/Sirius

I also dropped comments on mod journals at some HP communities which as people to contact the mods before doing promo, so I'll let you know if I hear any 'yes, go ahead and promo' responses. :)

Also, here are some ones where I didn't inquire, but I thought I'd mention 'em in case you wanted to:

snape_potter
harryanddraco
harrylovesdraco

And one where I wanted to inquire, but could not figure out which of the five mods it would be appropriate to contact: severus_sighs

Hi there!

I went and inquired at some communities which required mod approval before posting promo posts. I heard back from the mods of these communities, which granted permission.

hpnextgenslash
hp_diversity
hp_femmeslash
harry_ginny_centric

If you're busy, would like me to do the promo posts there? If so, just dump the promo post code into a < textarea > box for me, and I can do the promo there. :)

[boundbooks]

I think you're busy, so I went ahead and did the promo at these, and at the ones I mentioned earlier. :)

Thanks a bunch -- starlady managed to hit a lot of the early ones, but both of us are currently swamped enough to fall behind on the promo.

Thank you very much!
