hp drizzle 2020 - CLAIMING POST.
After receiving so many gorgeous prompts, it is now time to claim them! Each prompt may be claimed once for fic and once for art. Claiming closes on August 7th, submissions are due on August 15th and we will start posting on September 1st.
Claiming will be done via GOOGLE FORM and after you submit your claim, you just wait for an email from us. You'll get an email in less than 36 hours. If you haven't heard from us for TWO DAYS, please email us to confirm. Also check your spam folder.
When you claim, try to keep that info to yourself and your closest friends (or betas). Do not share with others what prompt you've claimed, etc... You can discuss your story with others in chat, etc, we're not being like super strict about that - but we just want you to use your discretion out of respect.

Additionally: Please DO NOT PM the moderators (especially on TUMBLR). email: hpdrizzlemods@gmail.com ~ Thanks!
REMINDER: all your fics will need to be BETAED. If you do not have a beta, let us know, we'll find you one. I like to read/skim through all the fics when we get the submissions and if I find a lot of mistakes, I will reject your fic. Which only means that we'll work with you to make it better. We don't reject anything ever, this is just a disclaimer so you know that we're very serious people (!!) that want you to have fun and want your stories to be appreciated by all.
Just an FYI, we don’t play favourites. The earlier you submit, the earlier your fic / art will be posted. It pays to submit early. The only exception is that if we get 12 HARRY/DRACO fics in a row, we might spread that out a bit. (Same goes for Draco/Hermione or other 'popular' pairings).
We want you (and us) to have fun.
Remember: Mods are people. Human beings make mistakes. They require time offline, time to sleep and eat and take a break from mod duties from time to time. On top of it all, Mods also have full time jobs. Be gentle and always remember this fest is here to celebrate, have a laugh, and enjoy oneself. Don't stress yourself out. If you have to drop out, let us know.
If you need to express disagreement, please do it with respect.
Super delighted to have you participate!
