Harry hated it. His kisses were too fervent, too overwhelming, too perfect. His kisses weren’t supposed to be perfect. His kiss wasn’t supposed to feel like home, his lips weren’t supposed to light up something between Harry's ribcage until it burned, spreading everywhere until his lips felt like a surge of electricity Harry depended on for breathing. They weren’t supposed to numb her further, melt her.

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

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. 31st - Nov. 9th.

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 30+ age requirement to join, but this fest is open to fic writers and artists of all ages!

Only 36 prompts remain, my fellow spookies! 🦇

So far, we've had 77 people claim the Gothic Fantasy Fest prompt of their dreams. We've also already had a fest participant turn in their fest submission for early review.

Don't let the opportunity to participate in this fest pass you by.

Sign-ups and claiming for Gothic Fantasy Fest close at 11:59pm PDT today (August 13th, 2024).

Claim your prompt before the day ends! 🪄

A Few Reminders

For this fest, there is a one claim per prompt policy.

The only exception to this is our Author/Artist’s choice prompt, which we are allowing up to 12 people to claim. However, once those 12 slots are gone, they’re gone.

You must claim your prompt on AO3 first, then, sign-up. Why? The form will ask you for the prompt # of the prompt you claimed.

You may only claim one prompt at this time. Later on, after sign-ups close, and if there are any prompts left, if you happen to submit your fanwork for your first claim before the fest deadline, you may then claim a second prompt. But remember, the Oct. 17th fest deadline will still apply. 🪄

Don’t have an AO3 Account?

You can still participate in this fest! For the first time ever, we will be accepting fest submissions via the submission feature here on Tumblr. Look out for our post on submissions guidelines later on this week for more info on that. 🦇

For now though, complete the following steps to officially sign-up for the fest:

bad guy

SUMMARY:

Considered the power couple of Hogwarts, Tom Marvolo Riddle and Harry James Potter have been the topic of interest ever since they got together. A series of interviews getting close and personal with their friends and their outsider perspective on the famed couple.

Brought by yours truly, Ron Weasley.

[tealighttalks]

they have always circled each other like starving animals yearning for another meal. waiting for the other to flinch, to falter before they pounce. harry and tom are two sides of the same coin, saturated with poison.

the thing about hate is that its just as sickening and saccharine as love and no man can hold himself back forever. so they circle until their chance to tear each other apart.

they wait to ruin themselves.

[dystopianrebel]

I’ll Crawl Home to You

“Tom!” Harry slurred every time he came home late at night, tightening his arms around the older man. He’d refuse to let go for hours because that’s what he needed and Tom was willing to give it.

A little late but happy pride month everyone! You can read this oneshot based on Hozier’s “Work Song” on my AO3 now!

[auphaniim]

hiiii tumblr <3 sorry i forgot u

i have an etsy shop now!! pls give me the validation i crave and the funds to buy more book binding material

[scarletsky153]

reading all those gofushi (and goita) commentary and laughing to myself bcs yeah there's some problematic shits going on but its not like i didn't ship and read much, much worse fanfiction of snarry and tomarry where their relationship happened while harry was still at hogwarts lmao

(trust me, the hp fandom on ao3 has some of the wildest, craziest pairings and trope)

or its probs bcs ive been on ao3 for too fucking long and already adept at separating fiction and reality and also detached myself from those crazy fics ive read lol

[racfoam]

Voldemort twined his skeletal fingers of his right hand with Harry’s right hand, closed the meagre distance between their mouths, and kissed Harry.

It was soft and sweet, like a dream.

- be proud, Chapter 2

[crimsonpoppies]

Professor, I do apologize

Professor Riddle is the Arithmancy professor at Hogwarts, famous for combining muggle maths with magical equations. He's world-renowned, but in Hogwarts he's best known for being really bloody hot.

Professor Riddle had never shown any sort of... inclination for a student before, but when a student proposes a research project, Professor Riddle finds himself ensnared in a web of calculus, geometric series, lies, and romance.

[rowena-rain]

The Thing with Feathers (an alternate ending to Hauntingly)

Chapter 12: Gold

Harry let out a long sigh.

Fuck it.

“Draco—can you keep a secret?”

“You know I can…”

“I’m serious—you can’t tell anyone. Including Ginny.”

Draco nodded solemnly. “Spill it, Potter.”

Read from the beginning

Only one more chapter left and then an epilogue! Thanks so much to everyone for reading and commenting 🖤💛

[katherine-ophelia]

Since I’ve read countless tomarry fics, I decided to make a playlist lol
