Just a quick note to everyone

Hi friends - it's sassy_cissa here. As my co-mod said before thank you to everyone who participated in this year's fest.

However, I would be very remiss if I didn't personally thank @timothysboxers for basically carrying the fest alone this year. While he's the one who puts together all the brilliant AirTable forms and generally makes things easier, this year he did 95% of the posting also. Where was I? Well I buggered off for a 2 week holiday at the end of the fest. So while I was drinking and eating my way down the Rhine river from Amsterdam to Basel, Switzerland - Tim was holding down the fort and doing all the things I generally do at the end of the fest.

He's going to say it was "nothing" but trust me...it was. So please join me in a round of applause for him and everything he does for this fest.

So I'm going to leave you with a picture of the last sunset of my holiday - taken from the balcony off our room on the ship. And my undying gratitude for the best co-mod anyone could every hope for.

After Harry breaks up with Draco, Draco embarks on a promiscuous journey to move on, sleeping with anyone who shows interest.

Just as he's about to give up, Harry storms into Malfoy Manor, furious that he learned about Draco’s pregnancy through the magical family tapestry at Grimmauld Place. Draco is confused, as the timing doesn’t match their last encounter, leading him to firmly deny that Harry could be the father. A visit to St. Mungo's reveals two shocking truths: Harry is indeed the father, and Draco is further along in his pregnancy than he thought. Now, Harry and Draco must navigate the complex shift from exes to co-parents, learning to work together for the sake of their child.

25 Days of Draco and Harry - Traditional Prompt 1

Welcome to the 17th Annual 25 Days of Draco and Harry—Traditional Edition for 2024!

It's time again for you It's time again for you all to enjoy a variety of Christmas themed works from a wonderful group of creators across as many platforms as they choose to post to. Some combination of Tumblr, LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, Pillow Fort, and AO3.

You can follow the fest right here, using #25Days2024, on Discord (sign up form here), and the 2024 AO3 Collection. After December, we will also binge-read a heap of fics and post the master list.

Each day at midnight by this clock (US-EST) the prompt for the day will be made available.

For anyone who needs help, an overview of the challenge, information and posting guidelines are available on LiveJournal or Tumblr, or you can reach your mods (sassy_cissa and timothysboxers) on discord or via direct message on Tumblr or LiveJournal.

Here is the first prompt!

Day One—Cosy Living Room Corner

The interior of a living room is shown, with large windows that look out onto snow-covered ground and evergreen trees. The interior of the room is made of light-coloured wood: broad boards for the floor, narrow vertical planks for the walls, and thin pieces for the window panes. Warm white fairy lights are attached around the window and on the wall below. To the right, a small Christmas tree is visible. Its branches are decorated with more warm white lights and baubles. A large, plush sheep-skin rug is on the floor to the left of the tree. On the rug are several plump cushions, a wrapped gift box, and candles in glass cases.

Claiming my H/D Muggle Fair fic

Title: There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact. Pairing: Draco/Harry Rating: NC-17/Explicit Word Count: 33.7 Tags: Muggle Private Eye Harry Potter, Ex-Auror Harry Potter, Worried Draco Malfoy, Draco Malfoy & Pansy Parkinson Friendship, Unspeakable Hermione Granger, Head Auror Ron Weasley, Magically Powerful Harry Potter, Post-Second Wizarding War with Voldemort (Harry Potter), Harry Potter Epilogue What Epilogue | EWE, Mystery, Getting Together, Case Fic, Mutual Pining, Sexual Tension, Hand Jobs, Lost friends, Broken Hearts, Banter, Happily Ever After Summary: Draco seemed to be the only one who found the circumstances surrounding Pansy's disappearance to be strange. When several days pass and attempts to convince the authorities to take action have failed, he seeks out the services of a little-known PI...

Notes: Thank you to my "team" – to oldenuf2nb who once again pulled this story out of the rubbish bin and made it readable, to timothysboxers who listened to me whinge about this fic for the last three years and offered brilliant advice, and finally to lettersbyelise who also listened to me bitch and moan while writing this and encouraged me to keep going when I wanted to quit. This fic was started in 2021 and fortunately fell right in line with this fest, giving me the push I needed to finish it.

The title is from The Boscombe Valley Mystery - a Sherlock Holmes Short Story.

Don't miss out on the Early Bird prompts. Sign ups close in a few days!!

If you would like to have Early Bird Access for the prompts for 25 Days of Draco and Harry - please click on this LINK and it will take you to the AirTable form where you'll need to answer some questions to sign up.  

This year's prompts will be posted in a Discord channel designed specifically for 25 Days of Draco and Harry. If you don't have Discord or choose not to use it, the prompts will be made available to you in another way. Details and an invitation to this Discord will be sent to you on or shortly after 13 October.  

Two things you need to know.  

1) There will be different sets of picture prompts for each way of participating, although there are a few that may have been selected for both. This way, the folks who like to be surprised will not ruin anything for those who have selected the traditional method.  

2) As in the past all the photos are visible only to those who have signed up to participate - so PLEASE put a copy of it - or a description of the picture in the header of your fic. Or save it to your own computer and link it that way. If you need help with this - grab a mod, we're happy to help. A detailed description will be included with each prompt.  

Early bird sign up will close on Friday, 11 October on or about 9pm CST. You will receive, via email, a link to the photos for access no later than 13 October (sometime that day or evening).  

If you need more information on 25 Days of Draco and Harry, please see THIS POST.

Your 25 Days of Draco and Harry Mods

[sassy-cissa]

Hope you'll join us this year!

Hello friends! I, along with my co-mod, timothysboxers, are thrilled to announce that 25 Days of Draco and Harry will run again in 2024. We want to thank navi1088 for creating our banner art. His work can be found at AO3 and tumblr under the same name. For those who may not be familiar with this challenge, we have included the rules at the end of this post, and we strongly encourage you to read these. And for the loyal fans of 25 Days of Harry and Draco: In 2024, we will be doing both Early-bird and Traditional prompts as usual. Again, we're running on LJ, DW and tumblr – the rules will be the same as last year. Because it seemed to work out quite well last year, the Early-bird Prompts will once again be available in October, and we will be including the Image Descriptions along with the prompts. Early bird prompts will be available no later than 13 October 2024, allowing creators over 7 weeks and some change to work on their posts. The signup period will open on 6 October 2024. Also, we will have the Discord server specifically for 25 Days of Draco and Harry participants. Like last year, this will be a place where early bird participants can discuss (in a channel just for them) the prompts and how they might use them. Traditional participants may join the Server at any time, and will also have dedicated channels for their prompts and discussions. The 2024 rules at a glance— Common Guidelines and Notes If you are creating individual works, please select "This Work is Part of a Series" to gather your works together. This will make them much easier to find in future!

If you are creating a multi-chaptered work, please use the "This Work has Multiple Chapters" option to ensure your chapters stay together.

An AO3 collection is available, and you are encouraged to post your works to it. Search for "25 Days of Draco and Harry 2024".

If you're not posting to the AO3 collection (but we really hope you are!) be sure to tag @slythindor100 on tumblr so we do not miss your posts!

The Early Bird and Traditional Prompt sets are different. We aim to have five or less prompts that appear in both sets.

More detailed rules and guidelines are further down underneath the cut.

25 Days of Draco and Harry 2024 - Traditional No changes from prior years. An image prompt is posted starting at midnight US-EST on 1 December, and you create a work based on that prompt and post before the next day's prompt goes up. Each of your posts can be part of a larger work or they can stand alone. 25 Days of Draco and Harry 2024 - Early Bird You receive access to all 25 photo prompts at once when Early Bird access opens. This is a similar timeframe as previous years. The idea is to give participants time to prepare and create something before the insanity of December starts. You will post one work per day for each prompt. This can be a stand-alone story or each day can be a part of a bigger story.

We also encourage individuals or a group to create a podfic of a past 25 Days story, subject to the consent of the author(s). ♥ The advantages are this: 1. you can use the picture prompts in any order you chose 2. you can start creating early and have many of your posts ready to go before December 1st. 3. you get the prompts all at once so you can pre-plan your story and how you will use each prompt.

If you have any questions, please email the 25 days mod account at potionsgod@gmail.com or DM one of the mods if you're on the Drarry Discord server, or the 25 Days Challenge server.

@sassy-cissa and @timothysboxers

Detailed Rules The basic rules of 25 Days of Draco and Harry – Traditional Edition: The challenge is to write a drabble, ficlet, story, create an artwork, a comic, etc. for the image posted each day from 1 December to 25 December. Written works for each prompt should be a minimum of 100 words, but there is no maximum. They can be twenty-five one-shots or each one can be a part of a bigger story. Pictures will be posted at midnight EST and you have until the next midnight to complete your work. You may combine this with other communities or tumblr prompts. Your work does not have to be a story of the picture – you can use any part of the picture, or take inspiration from what that picture says to you. Traditional Prompts must be used in their posted order. If you fall behind, you can post more than once a day to get caught up. You're also welcome to post as life allows, meaning you don't have to worry about being on time. You can also combine a few days or prompts into one work, but the true challenge is to post every day for 25 days within the 24-hour time frame. You do not need to sign-up for the Traditional edition, the prompts will be made available beginning 1 December at midnight EST. Early-bird Edition: After signups close you will be given access to the 25 picture prompts no later than Sunday, 13 October.

You may use these prompts in any order you choose – but each prompt may only be used once.

The challenge remains to post a daily work from 1 to 25 December using one of the provided prompts. Each should be posted between 12 midnight (EST) and 11:59 PM (EST) the next night.

For written works, the minimum word count is 100 words per prompt.
