About

The 2015 Lucius/Harry Halloween Fest is for fic and artwork featuring the characters of Lucius Malfoy and Harry Potter. We welcome any kind of fic, including gen and other non-romantic genres. The spirit of darkness that this community fosters is highly encouraged for this fest (especially since it's posting around Halloween!) but it is not mandatory. Any and all Lucius/Hary works are allowed.


Guidelines for Creations

• All fic must be beta’d, and we will ask you who your beta was.
• You must be over 18 to claim and and create for this fest.
• For fic, minimum word count is 600 words. If you are mixing fic and art (if you are creating a comic strip, for example) the minimum word count does not apply.
• Content does not have to be dark in nature, although it is highly encouraged, and happy endings are allowed.
• There are no content restrictions for what you can write or draw. We allow all kinks, genres, taboos, etc. (ex: Harry can be under 16 if you need that for your story).
• Lucius and Harry must feature in the story, but they do not have to end up together romantically or sexually; gen and/or other pairings are allowed.
• Manips, fanvids, crafts, and non-traditional fest work is allowed.
• Podfics are welcome and encouraged.
