Magical Trans Comfort Fest (AKA MT comfest) 2023!

For the third consecutive year, we are running the MT comfest! With new prompts, fresh out of the oven, we cannot wait to see what you'll offer the world! This fest is meant to provide comfort and a sense of community to those who might have a hard time during the holidays, and those who want to spread warmth during this time! Thank you @basicallyahedgehog for your beautiful graphics.

This is a very informal fest, so there is no hard deadline and you don’t have to sign up– all you have to do is create your work, and then post it into the collection once it’s open! The rules are the same as last year– above all, we ask for respect and kindness in both creating and interacting with this fest. Your creation must also have a positive tone, be an HP work, be thoroughly tagged, and contain at least one trans character. Works can be mature or explicit as long as they are tagged appropriately and the creator is over 18. You do not have to be part of the server to participate, though we’d love for you to join!

You can produce whatever you feel comfortable with, whether it be a drabble, a long one-shot, a doodle, a time-consuming fanart, a podfic, a collage, a fic-bind, a headcanon post… whatever you want!

The fest will run for three days and we are providing prompts for inspiration, but feel free to pick and choose or completely ignore them if you have other ideas! The collection will be opened closer to the date of publishing. In the meantime, feel free to check out the great works from last year’s fest!

You might have peeked two sets of prompts earlier on this post. For extra spiciness, we got you another entire new set of prompts! We have the regular prompts, and same as last year, they can be combined or used on their own. Then you have the dual prompts, who go together and don't bear really well to be separeted. Have fun!

December 23: Euphoria - Board games - Holiday T4tree - Fringe cutting - Spices & boats December 24: Ribbon - Book lending - Authentic introduction - Hot chocolate - Family & nail polish December 25: Sharing is caring - Flux - Jewellery shopping - Carolling - Communal cooking & empowerment

"It's me, big boy! I am your gift!"

Created for the Magical Trans Comfest 2023 & the Prompt "Ribbon".

Honestly, I don't know what came over me, but I had such a blast creating this! You might've seen those videos of artists editing Disney screenshots to whatever theme, and I did exactly that: I drarry-fied (and trans-ed lmao) Hercules! (So this isn't entirely original art, just keep that in mind)

Since I've read Falling for a Golden Boy by @stargazing-enby I've seen Draco as Megara and Harry as Hercules, so THANK YOU DOOM for the inspiration! <3

Big thanks to our amazing Mods, they deserve every bit of Love! @magicaltrans

Happy holidays to our magical trans family. We hope you’ve been able to find rest and peace amongst the chaos of the holiday period.

Now that the food has been eaten and the wrapping paper cleared away, we’re here to remind you that the Magical Trans Comfest 2023 is still open! There is no need to sign up and no hard deadline - create what you want, when you want to. Fic, art, podfic, collage, fic binding, poetry, whatever you love to make, we’d love to see it!

This fest aims to bring some comfort and warmth during what can be a difficult time for many. As always we ask that you be respectful in your works and when interacting with others’.

We have a bunch of fun prompts for you to pick and choose from - use one, use them all, combine them - anything goes.

Add your works to the collection and tag us in your posts so we can enjoy and share!

Happy creating!

One of your prompts is flux- could you elaborate on what you mean by that?

Hi Nonnie! Of course 😊

“Flux” has a couple of different definitions, but in the context of this fest we were really looking at these two:

A continuous moving on or passing by

Change, fluctuation - a thing, person or situation can be described as being in a “state of flux”

Outside broad definitions flux is also part of a few different trans identities. These include (but I’m sure aren’t limited to!)

Genderflux - often included under the nonbinary and/or genderfluid umbrellas, people who describe themselves as genderflux experience fluctuating intensities of gender (as opposed to shifting genders, as in genderfluid)

Genderfluidflux - again within the genderfluid and nonbinary umbrellas - describes people for who both their *gender* and *how much* of that gender they identify with change over time.

Demiflux - for demiflux people part of their gender identity remains static, for example genderqueer, while they experience fluctuations in other parts of their gender identity, such as woman.

One way I personally imagine it is like having an x and y axis - the horizontal axis is gender and the vertical axis is how much gender I have. At any given time I could be anywhere on that grid, in different combinations.

All this to say. This prompt, as with all our comfest prompts, can be taken as literally or as figuratively as you want. At its heart we were wanting to capture the nature of change that can be involved for a trans or nonbinary person, how our relationship with gender may change over time etc etc. As long as it has meaning for you then that’s all we want 😊

(As a PS, you can find out more about different flux genders on the nonbinary wiki)

[magicaltrans]

Them indeed!!!

Them

Written for the @magicaltrans Trans Comfest, for the prompt “baking”. This is part one of a twelve-part series using the fest prompts featuring transmasc Harry and nonbinary Draco.

Please note: Draco is still on the self-discovery journey and has not yet identified as nonbinary in this first fic. This canon name and pronouns have been used. These will change across the series.

Pre-Relationships; light angst; Fluff and Angst; Baking; Draco needs a hug; Trans Male Character; Trans Male Harry Potter; Draco is nonbinary but doesn’t know it yet; Self-Discovery; the unique angst of figuring out who you are; Everyone needs a friend like harry; Hogwarts Eighth Year; gingerbread men; POV Harry

Read on AO3

“Can I… is it ok if I give my gingerbread men skirts?”

“ Draco. ” Harry was pretty sure he felt his heart break. “You can do whatever you want to.”

“Are you… are you sure?” Draco was still soft spoken, sounding so unsure of himself. It felt unnatural.

“Men, women, people, gender nonconforming, it doesn’t matter. Do what makes you happy, Draco.”

Draco turned away with a little hum, contemplating his gingerbread man — person — with his head tilted first one way then the next. Harry held his breath, feeling like he was witnessing something important.

Magical Trans Comfort Fest (aka MT Comfest) 2022!

We are excited to announce that we will be running the MT Comfest for a second year! There are all new prompts, and we’re looking forward to seeing what you create ✨ The goal of this fest is to provide comfort and a sense of community to those who might have a hard time during the holidays, and those who want to spread warmth during this time!

This is a lowkey fest, so there is no hard deadline and you don’t have to sign up– all you have to do is create your work, and then post it into the collection once it's open! The rules are the same as last year– above all, we ask for respect and kindness in both creating and interacting with this fest. Your creation must also have a positive tone, be an HP work, be thoroughly tagged, and contain at least one trans character. Works can be mature or explicit as long as they are tagged appropriately and you are an adult. You do not have to be part of the server to participate, though we’d love for you to join!

You can produce whatever you feel comfortable with, whether it be a drabble, a long one-shot, a doodle, a time-consuming fanart, a podfic, a collage, a fic-bind, a headcanon post… whatever you want!

The fest will run for three days and we are providing prompts for inspiration, but feel free to pick and choose or completely ignore them if you have other ideas! We will make a post closer to the dates of the fest to announce when we open the collection, but we wanted to announce the prompts with plenty of time for you to create. In the meantime, feel free to check out the great works from last year's fest!

The prompts for the 2022 fest are:

December 23: baking ⭑ name choosing ⭑ piping hot cup of t(4t) ⭑ braiding

Magical Trans Comfest 2022 Collection Open!

Fest banner by the talented @babooshkart

The MT Comfest AO3 collection is open for your works! You can post your work on the day of the prompt, early, late, or even after the holidays. We won’t be posting a masterlist until December 31st, and will keep the collection open until mid-January to give everyone some extra time! We also encourage you to tag us if you post anything to Tumblr so that we can reblog it 💕

Please keep in mind that the AO3 collection is unmoderated, so you are responsible for posting your work into it yourself (instructions on how to do that are below!) We ask that you double check the 2022 fest info before you post to make sure your work fits into the very broad guidelines of this fest ✨ As always, the mods are here if you have any questions or concerns!

How to post to the 2022 MT Comfest collection

Please pay careful attention to this section, since we’ve created a sub collection for 2022 and want to make sure your work appears in it! There are two different ways to add your work to the collection:

Posting directly to the collection

To do this, go to the 2022 fest collection and click the button underneath the title that says “Post to Collection”. This will take you directly to a draft page where you can create your work just like normal and when you post it will be in the collection!

Adding the collection to an existing draft

If you already have a draft of your work and it is not in the collection, scroll down to the “Associations” section of your draft. Underneath “Post to Collections/Challenges”, type this phrase exactly: HP_Trans_Comfest_2022 and then type a comma. The collection will most likely not appear in the drop down suggestion menu, but that’s totally fine! Putting a comma after the fest name adds it to the collection once you save your draft.

If you have any issues with adding your work to the collection, reach out to the mods and we will be happy to help you!

HP Magical Trans Comfest 2022 Banner Reveal and Announcement!

Hello! We’re so excited to get the second year of the MT Comfest started in just a few days on December 23, and we have a couple of exciting things to share 🏳️‍⚧️

Firstly, check out our beautiful 2022 fest banner created by the very talented @babooshkart! We asked her to capture the spirit of the fest in whatever way they wanted, and we couldn’t be more in awe of the finished art 💖 Thank you Boo!

Secondly, the HP Magical Trans mods will be continuing the tradition of making a donation to both TransgenderNI and Mermaids based on the amount of works posted in this fest. To be clear, we are not asking you to donate any money (unless you just want to!) The mods will use their own money and donate 1€ to each charity for each piece of work produced for the fest*.

*One fanwork = 1€ to TransgenderNI + 1€ to Mermaids. We have a limit of 50€ for each charity.

We will be opening the 2022 fest collection on AO3 soon, along with instructions on how to post to it! In the meantime, check out this year’s prompts and guidelines here. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an ask or join the HP Magical Trans discord!

[magicaltrans]

This is absolutely lovely.

Here’s a little something for @magicaltrans ‘s Magical Trans Fest 2022 ! With the prompt : name choosing. There are some Easter eggs that will make sense in the next days’ drawings hehe (also, just in case, Draco says no to Percival because of Percy Weasley)

ID: A digital drawing of Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy as children, laying on the floor and deciding on a new name for Pansy. Pansy has a bob cut with bangs, as well as a dress and an open coat on top of it. Their hands are crossed on their chest, where they’re holding a necklace with a square plate. Draco has his arms open. He’s wearing a long sleeved shirt with details on the sleeves and collar, as well as pants with the same detail in the middle of each leg. He has a dubious expression. The drawing is made with brown and white, some parts like clothes or hair being slightly lighter than the lineart. The dialogue reads:

Pansy : Hmm… Patton.

Draco: No.

P: What about Percival ?

D: If you do that I’m never talking to you again.

P: Pellanor ?

D: What the heck ?

End ID.
