And she sneaks one in under the wire... labrt2004 May 9 2011, 15:48:30 UTC
Cutting it close to the deadline, sorry :-P

LJ Name (and real name, if desired): labrt2004

Email address: labrt2004 (at) gmail (dot) com

Artist / Author / Both / Crafter: Author. You really shouldn’t see me attempt art.

Three fic prompts:

1. The war is over, and Severus (who has lived, of course, perhaps just to spite all the people who ever doubted he would) and Hermione have gone their separate ways. Severus withdraws from society to become a reclusive but brilliant potions master. He communicates with the larger world via pseudonyms and never deigns to show himself at conventions and conferences, though his inventions always make a splash. But now, he is working on a formulation that could change the wizarding world. The only catch is that the potion seems to require blood from a Muggle-born witch who has achieved the highest mastery of magic. There’s only one such witch he can think of. But can he bring himself to confront questions of pure blood vs. Muggle-born again, questions which have already torn his life apart? And more to the point, can he bring himself to confront her again? What the potion does is up to you. Also up to you to address Hermione’s canon relationship with Ron-I’m perfectly okay with pretending that never happened, haha. Romantic ending and no adultery please.

2. Post War: Draco Malfoy has decided to play matchmaker. He has two single friends who both work too much and don’t play enough. As much as he hates to admit it, they are the perfect match for each other. One is his brooding, sarcastic, erstwhile greasy potions professor, now headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The other is his bespectacled, frowsy-haired, too-brilliant-for-her-own-good frenemy, Hermione Granger, who happens to be the Deputy Minister of Magic. His plan to get them together starts at a state dinner in honor of the Bulgarian Minister. Where it goes from there is up to you!

3. Severus and Hermione are both Unspeakables. They are mostly assigned to separate missions and rarely interact with each other. Both carry pain and secrets from the war and enjoy their solitary lifestyles. However, their latest assignment requires that Severus learn how to drive a Muggle vehicle. Hermione is to teach him. It is not, of course, easy as it sounds.

Three art prompts:

1.For my fic, Iridescent Snow, create the scene that takes place in the Forbidden Forest in Ch. 7

2.Illustrate the scene from Ch. 5 of Emissary, in which Hermione, Severus, and Drs. Anderson and Granger sit down for dinner together.

3.In my fic Iridescent Snow, create the scene in Ch. 6 when Hermione has just awoken from her Potion-induced slumber.

What genre/theme/content would you absolutely refuse to write or draw? BDSM, rape/torture, threesomes, bestiality, horror/gore, noncon/dubcon, adultery. I don't have anything against slash, but I would be pants at writing it, so I'd prefer not to. Also, no crossovers, especially Twilight.

What genre/theme/content would you absolutely NOT want to receive? All of the above, and I’m not a fan of children in fics, so keep the rug rats out, please!

Do you have a strong preference to be assigned a particular genre/theme/content? I like hurt/comfort, romance, and humor. A touch of angst is okay, though I don't like dark fic. I also prefer happy endings.

Do you have a strong preference to receive a particular genre/theme/content? Basically, the same preferences as what I’d like to write (see above), with the added note that all my prompts are EWE. Explicit love scenes are definitely well received:)

Are you willing to create a back-up gift if someone drops out? No, sorry.

Are you an Exchange Newbie? If so and you're an author, please submit a link to proof of posting fic of over 1500 words: N/A

Any other information you think the Mods should know? Squeeeee!

Ms. Granger, can you drive a lorry?

They wouldn't have assigned me the task of teaching you otherwise, wouldn't they?

That doesn't answer my question, at all.

I have a driving licence!

Interesting. But still not a positive answer to the question I have asked. I'll repeat: are you, Ms. Granger, in fact able to drive a vehicle like the one we're sitting in?

What are you insinuating, Snape?!

Ah, as I suspected. So Mr. Weasley wasn't the only one cheating on his driving test.

.... Where do you think Ron got the spell to successfully confund the driving examiner?

Cue reluctant cooperation, danger and fireworks. The muse hit me so hard^^ Hope the mods don't punish me for poaching on prompts *tiptoes away*

:) I'm sure the mods will happily overlook your transgressions! Just imagining the potential of stick shifts... LOL

Oh, yay, you made it! Also, you're making me want to re-read Iridescent Snow, it's been a while. ^_^

And yay, Draco match-making FTW!
