Harry Potter Ace/Aro-Spec Fest

This fest is created to highlight any character who you see as asexual, aromantic, or anywhere on those spectrums.  Any era, any age, anyone.  Give me your QPRs, your sex-repulsed lovey-doveys, your hypersexual aromantics, and everything else you got.  As long as you give me a main character from the HP fandom who is a-spec, your work has a home with this fest.  Accepting fic, fanart, podfics, any medium your heart desires to give us.

Important dates

Announce: 6/24

Prompting: 7/14-7/31

Claiming:  8/1-9/22

Posting: 10/1

Guidelines

All content is allowed, no restrictions on what can be submitted so long as it is thoroughly tagged and doesn't violate tumblr or AO3 TOS.  Mods will have final approval on whether or not a work is sufficiently tagged in regards to potentially triggering matters in works rated M or above.

Etiquette

The goal of this fest is to celebrate and highlight the joys (and some of the stresses) of the lives of the HP-verse characters who fall into the a- sexual and romantic spectrums.  

There will be no ship or character bashing (even if it’s a fandom-wide hated character, this is for bringing others up, not them down).

SALS - Ship And Let Ship.

YKINMKBYKIOK - Your Kink Is Not My Kink But Your Kink Is Okay.  Yes, this fest is about a-spec relationships. Yes, that means they can still be kinky as can be.  No, that does not mean you can shame others for what they want to create so long as it is duly tagged.

Each person has unique lived experiences within and and without the LGBTQIA+ community.  Just because you don’t see yourself in how someone is portraying something, doesn’t make them wrong for it.

NO RACISM. NO ISLAMOPHOBIA. NO SEXISM. NO TRANSPHOBIA. NO HOMOPHOBIA. NO ABLEISM. No hate allowed in your works, even as a plot point.  Find your angst somewhere else, we are trying to cultivate a positive experience.  

Written fic

Written fic should preferably be longer than 500 words

There is no maximum word count

Must be a completed work, no on-going series to be completed after the fest

Works must be stand-alone (can be part of a collection but one must be able to read it without reading previous parts)

Using a beta is strongly encouraged but not required (if you would like help finding one, feel free to join the fest discord server to find them)

ZKBB 2024 Basic Guidelines

What is a Big Bang?

A Big Bang is a collaborative event where writers are paired with artists and beta readers to write and edit a long fic with accompanying fanart within a specific period of time. In a traditional Big Bang, writers come up with their own story idea, and artists and betas bid for places on writers’ teams based on the story ideas submitted.

What are the story requirements for this Big Bang?

All stories should be centered around Zuko and Katara and their relationship.

Oneshots should meet a minimum word count of 6,000 words when completed, and multichapters should meet a minimum word count of 10,000 words before the end of the event.

Stories must be rated G or T on AO3

Big Bang fics must be new, standalone works. No continuations of existing series or published WIPs are allowed.

Story ideas should be secret before the start of the event to allow for fair, anonymous project bidding.

What are the roles and expectations for this Big Bang?

Writers will be expected to come up with their own story ideas, meet word count checkpoints throughout the event, share their progress with their team, and communicate with their team and the mods as needed.

Artists will be expected to create at least one finished piece of art for their project(s). Any type of art is welcome. Artists will be asked to meet several checkpoints throughout the event, and should share their progress with their teams as the event continues.

Betas will be expected to work closely with the writer and provide advice and feedback as the story is written. All beta readers should be able to provide SPaG feedback, and may be asked to provide additional support with plot and other creative decisions.

Other information

All participants are required to be active in our event Discord server. Work space within the event server will be provided for every team, and separate servers for individual projects are not allowed.

Members who are inactive for three consecutive weeks may be dropped from their project(s) or the event as a whole.

Members who miss formal check-ins (see our event schedule for dates) or fall behind on their progress will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Members are welcome to announce their participation in the Big Bang, but should not discuss specifics about their project(s) publicly until after posting begins (or for writers, after the reveal date).

Use of any AI text or image generators is not welcome in the Big Bang.

Additional role-specific information will be posted over the next few days! Feel free to contact us with any questions.

More 🍝Spaghetti🍝 Family Lore + The 🍝Spaghetti🍝✨Kiddos✨ :0

And tagging @toastedjeans cause they were interested ;)

Long story short in Spag. Family: Tower crumbles, TowerFolk (The tower's people) move to the Main town and Part 1 of this AU is Over.

That's right, this AU has two parts

One that takes place before and during the events of the Pizza Tower and it's crumbling, then the other one that's takes place during the approx. 10 years that followed after, in between that time, Peppino and Gustavo started dating and after 2 years and a couple of months they got married, A year later, their kids were born.

Allow me to introduce the protagonist kiddos :)

First of, we got: Valentina Risotto!

Gustavo's Daughter and Matteo's Lil' sister.

She is 7 years old, yet she is younger than Giovanni by 2 weeks.

The moon motif comes from that one line in "That's Amore!": "When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie" (Funfact: Peppino used to sing it to her and her brother as a lullaby)

She is quite an adventurous and rowdy kid, just like her dad when he was young!

Just like Her Dad and Big Brother, She is a Gnome.

This is Giovanni Spaghetti!

Peppino's first biological child and Totino's lil sibling.

He is 7 years old and the oldest between him and Valentina.

Giovanni is more nervous yet calmer than his sister but he will fearlessly defend her in case of anything happening.

He inherited "The Blessing of the Spaghettis" AKA: the thing that allowed Peppino to crumble the entire tower.

Good friends with Alex (Big bro crew).

While these two have different surnames, they are siblings just not biologically related, they were born thanks to the help of a surrogate mother.

So that's it! Those are the kiddos...

✨✨SIKE BONUS KIDDO UPON YE✨✨

Last but not least: this lil guy! Alfonso Spaghetti

Bruno's Biological child, Maria's lil brother

He is 7 years old and Vale and Gio's cousin

Special interest is Frogs, frogs of all kind, frogs are cool :)

Likes making Arts and Crafts, specially Friendship bracelets, sweet and caring baby boy :3

He can shapeshift, however it's a bit limited since he ain't experienced on it yet and his physical stucture is pretty stable.

So yeah! those are the kids of the Spaghetti Rissoto Family :) next up is the Noise couple kids and Grown up Matteo and Maria ;)

See y'all later Bye!!!

One of the beautiful things about fandom is how vast the definition of fanwork is, and the auctions in the following categories are great examples of that reality.

OTHER FAN LABOR

Not only are there auctions that focus on beta services and translations, which you're probably familiar with, but there are also offerings like ficbindings/bookbindings, musical compositions, monthly fic rec lists, conversions of Marvel characters into playable D&D characters with customized sheets, and more! This is the time to make your fandom dreams come true, and these 17 auctions would love to help you out with that.

BETA SERVICES

Or maybe you heard about beta services but aren't quite sure what that means. It's a common question to have, especially for anyone new to fandom (and even for some of us who aren't!). Beta readers check a story before the writer posts it publicly—and this year, we also have an art alpha/beta-specific auction in the mix where you can get feedback/tips/edits while drawing. For writing, betas are great for things like:

SPaG (spelling and grammar) and typo checks

Sentence flow and story/plot structure

Soundboarding/planning

Canon compliance

Characterization and dialogue

Fact-checking

Culture-picking

Sensitivity reading

Knowledge about specific topics or experiences (e.g., identities, lifestyles, professions, interests, and fields of study)

Cheer reading

Betas are worth their weight in gold, and if you weren't sure how to get one before, MTH is a great opportunity to get one now! Check out the 23 auctions offering beta services here.

TRANSLATION

Finally, let's talk about an elephant in the fandom room: our fandom as a whole is multilingual, but a lot of us…aren't. Thankfully, there are members who can help bridge the gap between different language-based fandoms. Maybe you'd like your work or one of your favorite fics by another writer translated into a different language, or you always wanted to read a fan comic in your native language. If so, make sure to check out these translation auctions!

Welcome to Sugarfest: A Sugar Daddy Harry Fest!

This is an art and writing fest to celebrate one of the most underrated sugar daddies in fandom: Harry James Potter.

Fiercely loyal and protective towards those he cares about, Harry would make for a dream sugar daddy. He's absolutely loaded, and as we've seen, he's willing to drop 1000 galleons at the drop of a hat.

Coupled with his natural charm and good looks, it's not hard to imagine Harry Potter as the ideal sugar daddy, one with both the influence and the financial means to take care of his loved ones.

Heard enough? Sign-Up Here!

Want more information? Read on!

🧁 Fest Information:

This is a self-posting fest for written works and fanart.

Only those over the age of 18 are permitted to participate.

What counts as Sugar Daddy Harry Potter for the purposes of this fest?

All works must feature a main pairing with Harry in a sugar dating relationship with someone that's his age or younger. Sugar dating is when a wealthy older partner provides a financial resource for their sugar baby.

As this is a sugar dating-themed fest, all works must contain on-screen dating content between the main pairing (T-rated or higher).

Any named characters within the Harry Potter universe are okay to feature within the main pairing. AUs are allowed (in other words, characters do not have to be their canon-accurate age.)

There is a minimum word count of 500 words. Multi-chaptered works are okay. Works should be unique to this fest.

Written works must have undergone a SPAG (spelling, punctuation, and grammar) check.

Prompts can be submitted via the AO3 collection. Please sign-up as a creator prior to prompting. Self-prompting is allowed.

Creators do not need to claim a prompt to participate in the fest.

Check out our AO3 Collection for full details.
