Your input is needed :)

A while ago darkravenwrote posted the question if you would be interested in a community that archived old prompts from fests and will give folks the opportunity to drop prompts for claiming. The tenor was that this was a good idea - so here is the next step, and since she is already busy coming up with lists and spreadsheets, I am trying to do a tiny part as

So, this is an HP thing, not an H/D thing? Because I own hdpromptarchive.

[lyonessheart]

Hi, yes it is not an exclusive H/D thing, but of course we would like to accept H/D too. Mainly what we want to do starting from now is approach festmods and collect the leftover prompts for all pairings and kinks and so on. We're most actively going to be around fests (although we will accept submissions too). Then we will tag the prompts so that people can search for a prompt by tag and claim it. Would that be ok for you? Or would it interfere with your comm?

[kedavranox]

The idea I had for hdpromptarchive was actually a little different. Not recycling from fests, but having a place where people can drop prompts they love, but don't feel they could write for themselves, (for whatever reason) and prompts they felt happy to part with. Prompts could be submitted at anytime. Those prompts will simply be there on the archive, and any interested persons can claim them at any time. For a fest or whatever they want to use it for. So, your com won't interfere, I don't think. :)
But, I feel like the idea of recycling old prompts already has a community, (hpadoptaprompt), so I'm a little confused, to be honest. What will be the difference between this com and hpadoptaprompt?

[lrthunder]

I think the hpadoptaprompt was for a fest, while this isn't strictly for a fest (like signing up and submitting stories or artwork).

[lyonessheart]

yes that is how I understood the com as well, which is why we came up with a new idea. We did think about asking the mods of hpadoptaprompt if we could relaunch it, but in the end we would like to start fresh with this years fests. We will contact mods so that they can ask their prompters to state beforehand if they are ok with their prompts going to the archive after the fest is done and if they did not get claimed.

[lrthunder]

Well, if you find any and all my unclaimed prompts on the various fests, you're free to include them. I don't think any of my 2014 horrorfest prompts were claimed and a couple of this year's Samhain Smut prompts were claimed. Although, most of my Hermione Smut (or at least a good number) prompts have been claimed.

As I said, feel free to include any of my unclaimed prompts.

[lyonessheart]

yey! thank you!!

PM'ing you :)

hp_adoptaprompt was started out as fest for giving life to your lost prompts but your idea is different - and very cool.

Of course you guys are more than welcome (to whatever the F you want... haha) but if you wanted to take over that community and shape it into what you desire, you're more than welcome to take over adoptaprompt but you're looking for more...what? recycle your prompts?

Who would put in these prompts? The same person who prompted them in the first place?

[witchyemerald]

I would love to see adoptaprompt go again. Don't we all wish we had more time to do these things

[lyonessheart]

No the work for reprompting would lie with Raven and me since we would go through the fest lists after they are done with giving out the prompts for their rounds - which is why we would like to inlcude the question "Can your prompt be archived at hp_XXX should it not be claimed YES/NO?" in future fests. I am just now working on the logistics with Raven. we could work with hp_adoptapromt in the future if they would like to organize a new round because we would have the prompts that are up for grabs in one place already.

[kedavranox]

It would be a good idea to spread this poll to some HP comms, too. I've only seen it in the H/D circles.

[lyonessheart]

I put it up in HP_Creatures and do_me_veela and slythindor100 and asked hogwart365 if they would post it :) - but please feel free to share the poll.
