Ooh, this is an excellent event. I'll definitely be writing something! But I'm going to have to think about things a little before I claim specific prompts; I've got a couple of competing ideas and I need to see which one is going to win out.

[train_lindz]

LOL :) You and I are in the same boat - so many prompts, I don't know what I want yet!

[shimotsuki]

Why doesn't RL just go away? Then we could all write lots of stories!

[hrymfaxe]

Harry does a dance fot all your ideas! :D

[shimotsuki]

LOL. I love dancing!Harry. And one of my competing ideas is your fault! (I'll write it anyway, even if I don't write it here.)

[hrymfaxe]

Uh uh! I have guessed which one you are referring to!! :D:D *feeds your plotbunnies behind you back*

You showing your support for the event by commenting is most welcome! Prompt claiming can come later.

Did you see 52s early popularity? =D Great lyrics, great song.

I meant to say in my first comment how happy I was to see some October Project in the prompts list! :)

Still thinking about my prompts, though. On the one hand, a missing-moment type piece would be appealing to write, and a chance to try working with some different characters. But on the other hand, the most insistent current plotbunny is a genfic post-DH AU (and is hrymfaxe's fault). Ah, indecision.

And that would be great! One trend we notice in post-DH fics - AU or non-AU - is authors/artists still continue dealing with their favorite 'ship's romantic trajectory. What we're encouraging here is a closer look at platonic relationships these characters also have. We're asking: what else is going on in HP? We'd like to see those ideas.

Also, this is a ridiculously laid back challenge. You certainly can write a chapter for one of your existing verses or wips, if it's gen. Or write us seven drabbles about unexplored characters. Your choice. This is a place to put your writing, and we'll thank you.

Can't wait to see your prompt selection.

The post-war AU plotbunnies have multiplied overnight, sigh. Hard to choose.

I see from your conversation with bookish_brownie above that it's okay if a reference to a romantic relationship creeps in peripherally. So if I do end up writing about a certain family, and there is a moment of affection between husband and wife because that is what they would naturally do in the context (say, a kiss goodbye, or sitting together on a couch, or a comfort hug), that's okay?

DH Hogwarts may still win out, though!

Perfectly all right as long as you fade to black on the couch if things were to heat up and as long as your story isn't about the characters' happy or disappointed feeling about what did or didn't happen on the couch, which suddenly makes that relationship the central plot line:D.
