Thank you all so much for your input in the poll, we're glad to see so much interest still in an event! The majority of you wanted another wishlist event, so that's what we're going with. We do want to say, however, that those of you who suggested other/new forms of events had really great ideas that we may consider for the future.

That being said – here's the Summer 2011 Wishlist Event!

It will work the same as it did two years ago - and if you weren't around then and haven't yet looked at the masterlist yet, do it! We had the most outstanding outcome, with roughly eighty fics produced for our forty-one participants.

How this works is, you reply to this post with your wishlist. Your wishlist can be as long and as specific as you want (within reason, of course) but must contain requests for ficlets of rare pairings – pairings NOT on this list. Please remember that we don't allow fics rated higher than R.

Also, if you're the kind of person who ships really, really rare things (say, Cedric/Petunia or anything uncommon like that) it would be a good idea to include a wide range of other ships so you can get at least one thing granted.

Carte blanche wishlists are actually more frustrating than helpful, so please try to avoid those as well. A simple list of pairings and prompts tends to work best.

Your comments will be screened to begin with. You have one week to post a wishlist - until July 17, your time. After that no one else may post a wishlist. If you do post a wishlist before July 17, you may certainly add to it afterward.

The wish-granting shall commence July 18. Details as far as granting wishes will be given at that time.

There is no obligation in this event. If you post a wishlist, you don't need to grant other people's wishes; similarly, if you don't post a wishlist, you may still grant others' wishes. However, it really is a lot more fun if everyone participates semi-equally. ;)

If you have any questions, ask away! Comments containing only questions will be unscreened immediately.

Happy wishing!

1. Cedric/Fleur - AU where he doesn't die; I would absolutely LOVE a funny confrontation between Cedric and Bill about Fleur
2. Bloody Baron/Grey Lady - something that takes place after they're both ghosts. I'd love it if you included a lot of the other ghosts, as well. Maybe some good old fashioned romance would be good for this one.
3. Ginny/Viktor - Ginny and Viktor find out that they have something in common that isn't Quidditch
4. Ron/Pansy – in which Ron meets Pansy’s parents, whether intentionally or otherwise
5. Helga/Salazar - roads to nowhere; the flowers in your hair; you see me
6. Ginny/Fleur - so many lovely things; let me count the ways
7. Pansy/Luna - you could see it if you tried
8. Neville/Ginny - something about his unrequited crush on Ginny (first-person would be potentially lovely here)
9. Ginny/Blaise - un-secret meetings in conspicuous places; you can't be serious; no, this is not a date (except it totally is)
10. Sirius/Rosmerta - don't you dare; first date in a weird place

please ignore the Neville/Ginny, I suck

11. Ginny/Astoria - cobblestones; candlelight; subtext; footprints; a challenge
12. Dudley/female character - a visitor to Privet Drive; "Aren't you Harry's...?"; curtains; revisiting the zoo (would love this one!)

Also, feel free to mix and match the non-pairing-specific ones. :)

Any of these pairings:

Tonks/Severus
Regulus/Hermione

Kingsley/Anybody (Either male/female)


Prompts:

"But what's stranger still is how something so small can keep you alive"
We Used to Wait by Arcade Fire
Lyrics here: http://ww.burbler.com/arcade-fire-we-used-to-wait-lyrics.html

Include some sort of rain paraphernalia: Rain boots, rain coat, umbrella and so on.

Tea-time with ghosts, whether they be metaphorical or not.


A little general, but if you can write anything for my pairings, I am not too picky! Would prefer no bashing of other characters. Snarky insults are always welcomed, but no outright bashing please.

QUESTION

Date: 2011-07-11 10:43 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ex-absolute.livejournal.com
Hey super awesome mods! Just making sure that (because of LJ's new screening policy and the fact that my prompt list has links in it) you can see my wishlist comment and that LJ hasn't hidden it?

And also to make sure that the wishlist itself was okay? I'm a bit more specific than I was last year, and I just wanted to make sure you didn't want me to edit or anything!

Thank you! <3

LJ marked it as suspicious, but I took care of it, so no worries!

And your wishlist looks just fine. :)

Oh, been out of touch with LJ recently.
What is the new screening policy? *AARK!*

Re: QUESTION

Date: 2011-07-18 06:18 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] peskywhistpaw.livejournal.com
There have been a lot of spammy comments on LJ recently, so LJ has this new policy where if your comment looks "suspicious" - that is, contains offsite links (and there are possibly other criteria, but that seems to be the major one affecting LJ-ers who are not purposely being "spammy") – then it will be marked as such, and won't show up normally. At the top/bottom of the comments, where you usually see the Post a new comment button, the creator of the post will then see something that'll say something like, "Read 1 suspicious comment." You have to click on that in order to view the "spammy" comment, and from there you can mark it as not spam, and it'll show up normally. The commenter themselves has no control over the "suspiciousness" of their comment once it's been marked as such. The tricky thing is that when you, as the poster of the entry, get, say, an email notification, it doesn't say whether that comment was marked as suspicious. (Which is a problem with a post like this, and I totally wouldn't have noticed there were comments marked as suspicious until they were asked about.)

It's good when you are faced with actual spam, though.

Wishlist - Yay!

*Argus/Severus

I'd like to say that you're free to mix and match the prompts with the pairings. ^^; My bad for not listing them separately to begin with. Also, I'd prefer fics with PG13 to R ratings (though G and PG is okay) and angsty/dark fics are love.

Also adding...

Here's my list. If you see a prompt that you'd like to use for a different pairing that I have listed for it(as long as they don’t have names specifically within the prompt), go for it.

Dean/Pansy – “I won’t fall in love with you if you won’t fall in love with me.”
Seamus/Mandy Brocklehurst -- a DA mission
Ernie/Lisa – He didn’t have much time for books, except when she read out loud
Zacharias/Daphne – “I didn’t mind not living happily ever after...then you had to ruin it.”
Blaise/Cho – inner peace
Justin/Susan – Justin never thought Susan particularly attractive--until Auror Bones walked through his door.
Charlie/Lavender – “There aren’t enough women with decent scars, if you ask me.”
Anthony/Padma – Sparrows outside the window
Colin/Astoria – AU; It started with a request for a portrait
Scorpius/Lily Luna – “For once, can I want something someone else doesn’t already have?”
Percy/Audrey/Oliver (love triangle) – a diary/journal

Wish List:

Scorpius/Dominique
Prompt: “The heart was made to be broken.” Dominique loves Scorpius but can't stop hurting him and isn't really sure she should even try.

Teddy/Rose
Prompt: “Queen Elizabeth is a man! Prince Charles is a faggot! Winston Churchill was full of shit! Shakespeare's French!” – American Werewolf in London; Werewolf!Teddy wants to be tied up during the full moon in order to keep from hurting anyone. Auror!Rose is more than willing to do the honors.

Rose/Harry
Prompt: Harry can't help loving Rose even though he must hide it from everyone... she is the best parts of two people he cares for the most Ron and Hermione... (Stalker!Harry)

Rose/Draco
Prompt: "An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind." - Gandhi; As Rose and Draco seek to pay each other back for any number of insults and slights, they would have been well advised to heed Gandhi's words.

George/Angelina
Prompt: "Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life." - George Bernard Shaw. George (or Angelina) is having problems with Fred's death even 10 years later.

JamesII/Rose
Prompt: "People tell lies because they want something. They are afraid the truth won't get it for them." - Charade; James is certain that if can just get Rose into his bedroom, sexytimes will follow. The problem is trying to get her in there.

Astoria/Draco
Prompt: "To love your wife, frightfully unfashionable." - Scarlet Pimpernel; You wouldn't know from the way Draco insults his wife that he is desperately in love with her.

LilyLuna/Teddy
Prompt: "Intelligent, unscrupulous, determined, and capable of seeing a man strangled without changing color." - Henry James; Teddy is suppose to teach Lily the ropes of her new job, but she ends up teaching him about much more important things.

Rose/Cormac
Prompt: "Unrequited love is so boring. Weeping under a blue-black sky is for suckers or maniacs." - Alice Hoffman; When Rose can't be with the man she loves (maybe Teddy L.?), she loves the man she's with.

Albus/Rose
Prompt: "Men drive off bridges and drink too much because of women like you." - Janet Evanovich; Albus is sick of Rose flirting with every man she meets, mostly because he wants her for himself.

Not sure if I'm doing this correctly...

Sirius/Lily
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Despite the quote, it would be lovely if it wasn't unrequited.

Ron/Pansy
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares

Pansy with a softer side.

Charlie/Hermione
There's something about a woman that want you but don't need you

Sirius/Lily
How could I plan on forever?
When I never planned on you

Lily the control freak.

1.Albus/Horace – Young dandies in satin gowns

2.portrait!Severus/portrait!person(s)* of your choice - “We're not bad, we're just drawn this way.”
* “fictional” portrait!people (like the Fat Lady) plus everyone who's canonically dead at the end of DH (w/o Lily and Remus) and could have a portrait at Hogwarts or an eventual Wizard War Museum

3. The Grangers/The Malfoys – One day, in Australia...

4. Emmeline Vance/...
Who the heck is Emmeline Vance?
1. She's a member of the Order, part of the group that escorts Harry to Grimmauld Place in OotP.
2. She's already been in the Order during the First War. (OotP)
3. Early in HBP, she's “nastily” murdered by Death Eaters, “just around the corner” from Downing Street 10. It's covered in the Muggle press.
4. At Spinner's End, Snape says: “The information I have passed ... on the Order ...led ... to the recent capture and murder of Emmeline Vance”. Notice he actually says “murder”, not “elimination” or “neutralization”, not even “killing”. (Bellatrix doesn't react.)
5. Described in OotP as “a stately-looking witch in an emerald green shawl”. Interesting choice of color for an Order member on a mission.
So – Tl; dr? - Prompt:
Emmeline/Severus – A Tale of Two Slytherins (any era)

Severus/Narcissa
Lucius/Lily
Bellatrix/Ron

**Please feel free to disregard the prompts or to switch them around. I'm definitely more interested in the pairing than following the prompt. I included them because I love nature imagery :-) If you don't, it's totally fine**

Here are the pairings...
1. Albus Severus/James Sirius -- moonlit retreat
2. Bill/Charlie -- three star-speckled nights
3. Fred/George -- sunset, sunrise
4. Fred/Harry -- springtime showers
5. Fred/Oliver -- clearing in the forest
6. Harry/Bill -- by the sea
7. Harry/Charlie -- the leaves were changing
8. Harry/George -- first snowfall
9. Harry/Oliver -- summer breeze
10. Scorpius/Harry -- dancing flames

I'm okay with just about any genre, but a happy ending would be welcomed (though, again, not required). I'd prefer for all the boys to be 16 or older, and I'm happy with as high as an R rating.

Thank you!

Pairing: Severus Snape/Narcissa Malfoy
Prompt: With her husband shattered after losing Voldemort's favor, Narcissa needs an ally she can rely on OR Snape and Narcissa, both privately exhausted by the war, have an affair...not that either shows the other any sign of weakness.

Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Luna Lovegood
Prompt: Draco would like to hate Luna except that she's so easy to talk to (bonus points if set during her imprisonment in the Malfoys' dungeon) OR Luna uses Draco for sex. This is an unpleasant surprise for Draco, who had assumed that she would want more.

Pairing: Albus Dumbledore/Gellert Grindelwald
Prompt: First kiss/getting together OR wizarding attitudes toward homosexuality OR how Dumbledore feels about battling with (and defeating) the man he once loved

Pairing: Minerva McGonagall/OMC
Prompt: McGonagall had a husband who died during the first war. Who was he, and/or how did she recover from her grief?

Pairing: Minerva McGonagall/OFC
Prompt: Sassy lesbian witches

Pairing: Bill Weasley/Nymphadora Tonks
Prompt: Sometimes it's fun to have a fling. (Set before Tonks' relationship with Lupin, please)

Pairing: Bill/Fleur
Prompt: Loving someone doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to live with them, at least not at first. What conflicts do they have when they are newlyweds, and how do they resolve them?

Other: I would be so ecstatic to receive anything about any of these pairings, so these prompts are suggestions only - feel free to depart from them if you like! In general, I don't like over-the-top angst, though obviously these prompts lend themselves to a little emotional turmoil. Otherwise, let your muse run free. If your characterization is good, I know I will love it!

PROMPTS:
You can pick and mix the prompts with any pairing: they don't correspond. ALSO, you don't have to use the prompts if they don't tickle your fancy :D

[quotes]
+ "When you're running up the highway // Singing I am the king, the King of you all // When you look back to where it started // I'll be there waving you on."
+ "There's nothing wrong with feeling lost. nothing at all. In fact, being lost and confused and more-than-a-little fucked-up every now and then is more than fine: it's perfect. It's a young person's job to be lost."
+ "In my dreams the world would come alive, becoming so captivatingly majestic, free and ethereal, that afterwards it would be oppressive to breathe the dust of this painted life."
+ "Touching him was always so important to me. It was something I lived for. Little, nothing touches. My fingers against his shoulder. The outsides of our thighs touching as we squeezed together on the bus. I couldn’t explain it, but I needed it. Sometimes I imagined stitching all of our little touches together. How many hundreds of thousands of fingers brushing against each other does it take to make love?"
+ "You’re lovely, but you’re empty… One couldn’t die for you."

Oh, I remember having so much fun with the Christmas wishlist several years ago, and since I'm now all pumped up on DH 2.0, I'd love to post a wishlist for this. :)

Favorite pairings: Andromeda/Ted, Frank/Alice (Longbottom), Bill/Fleur, any permutation of the Deathly Hallows DA (esp. right after the war), any Black Family Tree rarepair. I also LOVE Founders!fic, with the caveat that the Founder's partner be an OC and NOT another Founder! :D

Things I like: explorations of non-British wizarding places (yay travel!), wizards & witches being amazed by Muggle technology, perspectives on wizarding history paralleling Muggle events, looking at different wizarding cultural institutions (art museums? theater?), visiting beautiful natural places (e.g. Grand Canyon, Great Barrier Reef).

Inspiration!
Love is wonderful in that it can never be wasted or used up. We can never replace the people or animals we have loved, but the love we feel for them can be expanded. I like to think of love as being stretchy. It is easy to feel guilty when you start to love a new pet - like somehow that means you love your old friend less. But when you think of love as being stretchy and able to expand, you can see that there will always be room for everything. You can love as much as you want.

"Life is what we make of it" by Edward A. Guest
Life is a jest;
Take the delight of it.
Laughter is best;
Sing through the night of it.
Swiftly the tear
And the hurt and the ache of it
Find us down here;
Life must be what we make of it.

maidenjedi: (NEVILLE IS BADASS)
From: [personal profile] maidenjedi
Remus/Lily - a little unrequited longing on someone's part around their fourth or fifth year at Hogwarts, with Lily finding out about Remus' "furry little problem."

Hermione/Viktor Krum - They supposedly snogged, when did this happen and how did Hermione react??

Alice Longbottom/Frank Longbottom - going into hiding, finding out they're having Neville, something about their "defying" Voldemort

George Weasley/Katie Bell or Fred Weasley/Angelina Johnson - Love on and off the Quidditch pitch for either!

Percy/Penelope - after Percy turns his back on his family. How does Penelope take this, how does their relationship fare during the war?

Charlie Weasley/Cho Chang - Post-Hogwarts for Cho, how might she decide to work with dragons in Romania, and what keeps her there?

Cedric/Cho - the Yule Ball, mistletoe, and Cedric stepping on her toes.

Prompt Pairings:
1) Severus Snape/Susan Bones

5) Astoria Greengrass/Zacharias Smith

when you say your heart still sings
when you're with me.

Away my darkness
You guide me when I'm blind
You are the light
That shines inside me
Showing me I'm
So much more

4) We don't know who we are until we're connected to someone else. We're just better human beings when with the person we're supposed to be with.

Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride…

These are mostly kind of angsty, so feel free to ignore the prompts if you have other inspiration for the pairings!

Draco/Luna -
"If i was scared, I would
And if I was pure, you know I would
If I was yours, but I'm not"


//

"Hand covers bruise"

Hermione/Luna - I lost the taste for judging right from wrong

Cedric/Harry -
We are a mess
We are failures
And we love it



George/Harry - What's the point of knocking me down
Everyone knows I'm already good on the ground


Dean/Luna - Bring on the wonder

//

Dean makes something beautiful for Luna

Ron/Padma - "I heard you used to play chess."
"'Used to?'" or, The seduction of Ronald Weasley

And just to add a few additional prompt ideas:

Stolen moments during the Battle of Hogwarts
On the roof of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
"This is an ipod; they're brilliant."
Working at the Quibbler
Taking a position in the Ministry
Returning to teach at Hogwarts
Roadtrip!
Bravery can mean lots of things, just like love.

wish list!

Pairings, lots of different prompts for mix/match/combining; can use as many or few as needed, they're just ideas.

Theo/Pansy - undercover/spies; secret childhood friends; unexpected loyalty; hostility and impatience; inescapable; happenstance; questionable reputation; mutual loathing; he's a writer or artist; power struggle; hidden tattoo
Pansy/Luna - Pansy is a bully, Luna is imperturbable, resulting sexual frustration; Pansy steals Luna's things; hide and seek; trail of bread crumbs; fragile; holding breath; skin
Pansy/Ginny (post-Hogwarts) - attending a formal function/attending a concert; Pansy hates Quidditch; feud; journalism; revenge; secret; public tryst; mind games; gossip
Ginny/Blaise - hate-hate relationship; intimidation; fear; feline; alliances; sneering; annoying physical attraction that won't go away
Theo/Hermione - libraries; "We've never actually spoken"; unacknowledged; silent rivalry; grudging respect; unexpected kindness; professional relationship; Ancient Runes
Daphne/Draco - both using each other to make other people jealous; bisexuality; scheming; parties; vanity; jewelry
Pansy/Daphne (post-Hogwarts) - the exchange, "That's not a toy." "Anything is a toy if you play with it."; crossdressing; rivalry; smoking; commitment issues; "This doesn't mean I'm gay"; hot weather, sweat
Remus/Lily - mistaken identity; Cyrano/Roxane situation; blushing; flowers; gifts
Zacharias Smith/a Gryffindor or Slytherin girl (Ginny? Daphne? can't choose!) - wake up next to each other, not sure how; love potion gone wrong; hungover; belligerence; "I've made a huge mistake"; scrunched up, annoyed face; inconvenient weather, blame game

Theo/Pansy is a favorite, so is femmeslash. Generally I don't go in for complete fluff, but love unexpected sweetness, otherwise stoic/sarcastic characters awkwardly talking about their feelings/awkwardness in general. Nothing too dark (lacking humor)/Death Eater or Voldemort-centric stories/character death. Any rating/era. :) Will love anything, just hope to enable someone's creativity!
