The Pink Christmas Advent - Rules & Sign-Ups

[mrstater]

I'm dreaming of a pink Christmas
As only R/T fans would know
Where fairy lights glisten
And House-elves listen
To hear snogging in the snow

I'm dreaming of a pink Christmas
With every R/T fic I write
May your artwork be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be...pink!Yes, we hope you’ve got your breath back from our last event, just in

Um, quick question:

Do the same rules apply for the quote prompt as the word prompt? I know the main theme has to at least be the word prompts, but I'm a bit uncertain about the quote.

[gilpin25]

It's just got to play a part in the story like the word one if you use that - what we're trying to avoid is a character simply repeating the line word-for-word at one point and then it never being used or mentioned ever again.

So, for example, it might be a story featuring Remus summoning up courage to ask Tonks out, and Sirius pushing/helping him in various ways to do so - while Remus could point out as it progresses that he wasn't that great at permanent relationships himself?

But it's only got to 'play a part' - you don't have to make the entire story about it and nothing else. So you could have some kind of adventure fic (or anything you fancy at all) for them if you wanted, while almost as a little sub-plot throughout in the background Sirius is pushing Remus into something. Or vice versa. Or any character acting in a way that fits the prompt that you like, it's just Sirius came into my head first!

Hope that all makes sense - it's early in the morning for my brain. Shout if it doesn't. :)

I'm in, for fic please.

(And might I add that that pink monstrosity is the ugliest Christmas tree I have ever seen? Worthy of Lucy van Pelt at her finest.)

[gilpin25]

Only if you want to upset the pink Christmas tree elf. ;)

Your word: Snow

Some prompts for art, please?

[gilpin25]

I quite fancied having these so I hope you like them...

Word: Advent Calendar

Quote:

“Why don't you kiss her instead of talking her to death?”

Oooh! I think I can something with these. The quote makes me think that maybe Sirius will be making another appearance in the background.

Mucho thanks!
