Introducing a Harry Potter fest to haunt you…

...as not all that goes bump in the night is meant to be feared…

Gothic Fantasy Fest is a Harry Potter fanworks fest dedicated to and centered around our love for the gothic horror genre!

This fest is hosted by The Writing Heirs of Slytherin Discord Server.

Fest Information

The inspiration to host this fest came out of our desire to see more fanworks in the fandom where the darkness within us all is celebrated, embraced, and reveled in.

The premise for this fest is simple: Create any fanwork (fic or fanart) you like, ensuring that your main protagonist of your work is a Slytherin!

But, and this is where the challenge comes in... your fanwork must incorporate one of the gothic horror prompts that we have provided and must be in the gothic horror genre!

We hope, through participating in this fest, that you’ll allow yourself to indulge in what haunts you most!

Fest Schedule

Sign-ups & Claiming Open: Aug. 5th at 12:00pm PDT

Sign-ups & Claiming Close: Aug. 13th at 11:59pm PDT

Fanworks Due: Oct. 17th at 11:59pm PDT

Fanworks Revealed: Oct. 22nd at 12:00pm PDT

Authors & Artists Revealed: Oct. 24th at 12:00pm PDT

For the remainder of our fest rules, read on!

Fest Rules

All levels of writers and artists are welcome! Even if this is your first fest!

All pairings and ship types (platonic, couples, and polyships) are allowed in this fest. You may also choose to focus your fanwork on only one character.

Ensure that your main character of your fanwork is a Slytherin (no exceptions)!

Any Slytherin from any of the Wizarding World eras is welcome. You may also choose to headcanon a non-Slytherin character as a Slytherin.

Your fanwork must incorporate one of the 99 gothic horror prompts that we provide. There are 12 additional Author/Artist’s choice prompts, however, those are first come, first serve. So, they will go quick!

Ensure that your fanwork qualifies as gothic horror. Read our full rules at the link listed below for further clarification on this.

The darker your fic the better, as this fest is the perfect opportunity to create some dark, morally gray, and/or dead-dove works!

Authors: there is no maximum word count for your work. But there is a minimum word count of 1,000 words.

Artists: As long as you follow the guidelines above, you may submit any form of fanart you like, including moodboards! However, AI-generated work and commissioned work from other artists may NOT be submitted!

This fest is an Author/Artist Revealed event. Your fanwork will be revealed on the dates listed above. When the fest is over, we will highlight your fanwork across our social media from Oct. 24th - Oct. 30th.

You do not have to be a member of The Writing Heirs of Slytherin Discord to participate in this fest. However, we do recommend joining so that you can be in contact with other Gothic Fantasy Fest participants! It’s also the quickest way to get a hold of the admin team!

Note: Our server has a 21+ age requirement to join, but this fest is open to fic writers and artists of all ages!

Disclaimer:

Due to the darker subject material of the prompts, please be mindful that the process of creating a submission for this fest may be triggering. So, take care of yourself, honor your limits, and enter at your own risk.

✨Introducing my latest long fic (yes, it will be over 70k words) and submission to the @hp-cry-me-a-river fest... ✨

IN THE LIBRARY WHERE HE KEPT HER

Draco wallows in the sudden passing of his wife Hermione Granger. By charming her favorite books, he's able to live vicariously watching their memories while succumbing to his grief. It will be up to him, the persistence of his friends, and the legacy of Hermione's love whether or not Draco chooses to continue living in the past, or to shut the doors of the library for good. Told through a combination of flashbacks and present-day scenes.

I've been working on this for months, I can't believe I'm finally posting about it...

🖌 You Should See Your Faces by @crookshanksagentofowca

Ship(s): Bellatrix Black Lestrange/Voldemort, Cygnus Black III & Bellatrix Lestrange, Druella Rosier Black & Bellatrix Black Lestrange, Walburga Black & Bellatrix Black Lestrange, Bellatrix Black Lestrange & Arcturus Black

Rating: T

Summary:

Ship(s): Regulus Black/James Potter and Sirius Black/Remus Lupin

Rating: M

Summary:

Grief is all-consuming.

No one really talks about that—the way it crashes over you whenever you least expect it, even years down the road.

You are given a period of mourning, shrouded in black—a few weeks, perhaps, and then you’re expected to move on, ready to face the world with a smile.

But what if the secret love of your life was also the loss of your life?

For James Potter, losing Regulus Black was as colossal, as *defining*, as loving him.

Now, he spends his time dancing with phantoms, struggling to survive.

🗝 Spider in the web by Scribblesofamadlibra 

Ship(s): Ted Tonks/Andromeda Black

Rating: M

Summary:

Andromeda Black fears her mother's yule celebration nearly as much as she fears a life trapped in the web of her family's ideologies. Will she have the mettle to break free?

or

Andromeda Black has had enough.

📜 Two Graves, One Gun by ErisMornsGhost 

Ship(s): Hermione Granger/Harry Potter, Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy (minor), Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley, Harry Potter/Daphne Greengrass

Rating: E

Summary:

In the fallout of their victory in the War, Hermione is forced to re-examine her life, her dreams, and her friendships. Caught in a damning cycle of push/pull with her best friend, Hermione must determine if it’s love (or is it leaving?) that will save her soul?

🕯 pick your poison, babe by cosmic_kate @ktsaysthings

Ship(s): Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy

Rating: E

Summary:

Hermione walks into the bar with a Ron Weasley shaped hole in her heart and a lilac skirt that fits her like a second skin. Her idea of getting him back doesn’t go exactly as planned.

Inspired by imgonnagetyouback by Taylor Swift.

No remedy for broken hearts

pairing: Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy

rating: M

WIP: 4/?

summary:

When Draco and Astoria can’t find a cure for Astoria’s mysterious illness, in a last-ditch attempt to save her life, they consult with Healer Granger.

It'll be too little, too late.

-

“What time am I meeting you at St. Mungo's later?” he asked, not lifting his eyes from his plate.

“I am meeting with Healer Granger at 4 pm. You don’t have to come. I can ask Daphne or Mother to escort me.”

“I have cleared my schedule,” Draco replied drily. How could she assume he had anything more important to do than accompany her? He tried to mask his annoyance. “I want to see what this all entails. I'm not convinced, still.”

“Well, you don’t have to be,” she replied, “I have made my decision. If this is the best option I have right now, I am not going to waste it." She was looking at him now, almost challengingly.

“Roscher said you might get worse in the beginning.”

“I am aware of what he said, I was paying attention.” Unlike you. She didn’t have to say that part.

“I was paying attention.”

“You were occluding,” she snapped.

For the @justleaveacommentfest I decided to make a dent in my Marked for Later list. There were 19 fics on there. So, I randomly generated a number and landed on Three Weeks and Five Days by @autumnweeen

Which has probably been on my list since it came out last year. The first chapter is a brilliant set up and i cannot wait to read the rest!

If the little one allows I will be finishing and commenting on every chapter.

“Malfoy,” she says. “I forgot that you existed.”

He rolls his eyes. His lanky, brown haired companion smiles brightly and waggles his fingers in hello. When she doesn’t greet him, he clears his throat.

“Theo,” he says, as if she should remember. “Theodore Nott.”

Hermione cocks her head. “I didn’t even know you existed.”

Hermione's Pavlova

[ Read the full fic on Ao3 ] @hprecipe-recfest

Rated T Adult Draco/Hermione No Major Warnings Apply Mild Angst/Romance with Humour

Pavlova Recipe Included =

Three times, she had watched him come back for more.

Perhaps it was a deep seated paranoia, or the admittedly generous donations he’d made that night, but Hermione found it difficult to take her eyes off of Malfoy.

A pot-luck banquet— raising awareness and funding towards matters of Gnomish zoning rights and displaced fungal harvesters— was not the sort of event she’d ever expected him to attend. Just turning up to mock her efforts seemed like a particular stretch even for him, let alone putting forth a ridiculous sum of money for his trouble.

There was nothing on Earth that could have convinced her that Draco Malfoy actually cared about the issues affecting the Gnomish community. Whatever bizarre agenda drove him to attend remained an utter mystery to her clever mind, even after observing him for the better part of an hour.

He was relatively well behaved, all things considered. Clipped small talk and certainly not the most popular man in the room, but he busied himself with gluttony. An enchanting assortment of food currently swept the hall, levitating in a fantastical rotation to suggest themselves to the guests and serve up portions to those interested in them. Yet, the only dish he’d even acknowledged that night was a dessert. Malfoy had pointedly chased it down twice more, harassing the dish, responsible for disappearing nearly half of it into his stomach.

Hermione’s Pavlova.

New Dramione Fic!

Let's all say hello to a new Dramione fic about Draco and his recently-deceased wife, Hermione. Ouch. Get the tissues ready! This one is going to be rough.

In the Library Where He Kept Her by GreenInk_RedLetters

Summary:

Draco wallows in the sudden passing of his wife Hermione Granger. By charming her favorite books, he's able to live vicariously watching their memories while succumbing to his grief. It will be up to him, the persistence of his friends, and the legacy of Hermione's love whether or not Draco chooses to continue living in the past, or to shut the doors of the library for good. Told through a combination of flashbacks and present-day scenes.

Everything that made him good and whole was a reflection of the witch. She stitched him up and made him something to be proud of. Who was Draco Malfoy without Hermione Granger? What sort of world was there without her gentle smiles and her ferce morality? She was everything and then...

Nothing.

AND

Draco's life no longer lay in terms of before or after the war, but rather before or after her. Because it was her that gave him meaning.

[draqo-pctter]

take my breath away; a dramione one shot for the spice it fluff fest

Hermione and Draco have spent years dancing the line between Just Coworkers and Something More. One night, during a dance at a Ministry fundraising event, Draco lets something slip that Hermione doesn’t want to let go of. When she corners him in his office the following Friday evening, she finds out exactly what he meant.
