I was wondering you were thinking of ever running this fest again? If not I’d be happy to take it over. I miss the spooky fest 💖

Life has been a bit crazy for the mods of this event, but we are contemplating running it again for September 2025, if we have the time and spoons. You are, of course, always welcome to start your own events!

[rsfiresidetales]

by any chance is there a 2022 edition of this fest coming soon?

Apologies for sort of forgetting about this until now. The mods completely lost track of time. But after a discussion we have come to the realization that we neither have the time nor the spoons this year. So, sadly, RS Fireside Tales will be taking a year off. Hopefully we will be back next year for all the spooky content we all crave.

Thank you for your patience and understanding everyone!

Remus pulled his thin jacket closer around his shoulders. “Are you going to stay on earth?” He asked in a small voice. His mum’s face softened, her hand moving to cup his cheek. “Darling, you know I can’t. I’m sorry.” She removed her hand again. “No, don’t be, I… I just... I miss you.” Remus coughed and wiped roughly at his cheeks.

    As they continue to rebuild their relationship, Remus takes Sirius to a place that was of great importance to him.
