Harry/Ginny is my OTP ♥ and it's been wonderful running hpgw_ficafest for the last 4 1/2 years. (The FIRST and ORIGINAL ficafest. ;) ) I've loved seeing so many fics and artwork come out of the ficafest. We had over 55 entries in the each of first two waves and had a total of over 200 entries in the first four waves. That was such a wonderful time ( Read more... )

It's about the halfway point for our Nov. 31st deadline and we've got our first entry! Before I approve it, I just wanted to make a note that there are still several challenges available for both artwork and fic. If you're looking for a beta reader, you can go here. Also, don't forget your LJ cuts. ;-) It's also nice if you can link back to our ( Read more... )

The main purpose of this post is to shamelessly pimp Changing Seasons, a Harry/Ginny Exchange, that r_becca is hosting so if you haven't already, go sign up!

But to make this a "mod post", here's a friendly reminder that if you still have your fic or artwork for the 7th wave, feel free to submit it. *nudge ( Read more... )

While the deadline to claim a challenge for a fic is slowly approaching (Dec. 31, 2007), I want to extend the artwork claim until our submission deadline to January 31, 2008. Several members mentioned wanting more artwork so I hope that this'll add more time to pimp the ficafest and encourage artists to pick a challenge or inspire an artist to ( Read more... )

Just a little nudge that if you haven't claimed a challenge, you can still do so until December 31. Also, feel free to nudge your fellow fanartists to claim a challenge. ;)

You can submit your entry as soon as it's ready! Please make sure you check all your tags and your template so it can go through the moderation queue and to the community ( Read more... )

Hello! Thanks for your advice and suggestions! Some of you suggested using old challenges or unclaimed prompts for a new round of ficafest artwork and fan fiction. I like that idea and starting December 1, 2007, we'll open the 7th Wave of the Harry/Ginny Fic-A-Fest with 30 previously unused challenge prompts from the 1st to 6th waves. (I don't ( Read more... )

Hello, everyone. I'd like to get your feedback to improve the ficafest ( Read more... )

Hello, folks! Just as a reminder, please double check your entry and especially your tags. One missing "<" or an incorrect code can unfortunately mess up the rest of your entry and let me tell you, as wonderful as we all are, we are also very vocal about making sure there's an LJ cut tag to those long fic entries and unfriendly dial-up images ( Read more... )

Wow, we have almost 60 challenge prompts! You guys rock. ;) So I'll go ahead and post the challenge list on Tuesday, July 31st, in honor of Harry's birthday, and for now, say that the deadline will be September 1st. If we need to extend it, we can definitely do that. I'll still keep the plot bunnies post open and continue to add them to our ( Read more... )

I am happy to announce two new icons. =) A big thank you to hrhobo for creating them so quickly. The pieces of artwork are from reallycorking's beautiful artwork, which is also our new banner. Thank you again, reallycorking, for letting us use your artwork ( Read more... )
