#DirtyGrangerFest

[mxlfoydraco]

i saw this post: “bitches in fandoms will use "the women aren't well developed characters and they're boring bc the writers are misogynists and didn't give them anything >:(((" as an excuse to never talk about any female characters but then they'll have an entire made up backstory and 700 fics on ao3 for background male character #4 who doesn't have a canonical last name. “

and this relates sooo much to hp fandom. i love drarry and wolfstar but sometimes the things i see about reg is just kinda… that. we are talking about his door sign (bc ofc we read this glimpse in the book) and his story is very good indeed since he’s like an anti-hero but idk if it’s bc the original writing but we don’t talk much about the female characters that much. like i’ve never seen bunch of fics that detail hermione dealing with her parents after the war, how they could have felt betrayed that she made then forget their whole lives. i read one hermione/millicent fic that talks abt it but nothing… deeper. we don’t see much abt pansy potentially breaking down after trying to give harry to voldemort. my point is we never explore much of these characters. i’ve never seen fic festivals abt them. it’s all about the men in the universe and don’t get me wrong i love them but i wish we’d put more effort in writing wlw media and that we could discuss a female character’s little things or traumas.

i’m sending this to you bc i love your blog and i’m looking for more sapphic content! and i’m begging other ppl in hp fandom to reflect on it. anyway if you have any blog or fic recs that really focus on the female characters, i’d like to know! sorry if there’s any mistake, english isn’t my first language

I think this is a really nuanced topic and yes there is truth in the message of the post and what you’re saying but it’s also not the whole picture if that makes sense? It would require like an essay on fandom, gender and sexuality to explore M/M vs F/F topic (and there are many great ones!).

I want to approach it from a different angle with my reply, that they do exist. Pandora, Mary, Dorcas and Marlene are also only named in canon but have a big fanon presence. There are people who write and engage with female characters to that depth and with so much passion.

They’re not as visible, I agree, but it’s a self-perpetuating issue. They also feel alone in creating their works even though there are multiple, several posts like this. I’m gonna tag some accounts to check out down below, please use them as a jumping point to connect with creatives!

Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended. Summary: At first, it sounds like a woman is screaming, or weeping, or begging for mercy. Hermione’s ears go bright red. Draco grins. “Oh, oh, ohhh. Draco. Oh my God!” Thud. Thud. Thud. Like a siren song he follows the sounds confidently, familiar with the flat’s floorplan. Hermione’s footsteps rush behind him. They pause in the bedroom doorway when they see themselves. Fucking. After a messy breakup, Draco and Hermione are forced to travel back to when they were last happy and figure out what went wrong.

Title: Middle of the Night Prompt: #HP25 Pairing(s): Hermione Granger/Blaise Zabini Word Count: 31,876 Rating: Explicit Warning(s): Violence, Capture, Implied/Referenced Rape, Unsafe Sex, Mildly Dubious Consent, Sexism/Fetishisms, Racism, Forced Marriage Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended. Summary: The Dark Lord's new marriage law was simple. The Wizard population was steadily decreasing, especially with the mass killings of muggle-borns and blood traitors. So purebloods and half-bloods of certain status would now be required to marry a muggle-born witch or take her on as a mistress, in hopes that the population would rise, and with it, the Dark Lord's followers. Blaise Zabini had begrudgingly gone to the holding cages to find a bride. He came home with Hermione Granger. At least she would keep him on his toes. But Hermione struggles with her new life and must find an outlet for her anger and insecurities. She needs to find herself again, she just didn't expect it to be with Zabini of all people. But could she trust him? Or was he just like the rest of them?

Title: Bound to You Author: besmirchedmaiden Prompt: #HP06 Pairing(s): Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy Word Count: 7,129 Rating: Explicit Warning(s): None Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended. Summary: “She loved him like this, his skin flushed pink, a sheen of sweat decorated his face and chest, his blonde hair tousled. Draco Malfoy during the day was a man who was always coiffed, not a button out of place. Hermione delighted in being able to watch him come undone under her touch.” For all his snarky, smarmy ways, Draco Malfoy was a good fuck. And if Hermione got to tie him up in the process, all the better.

[dirtygrangerfest]

Welcome to the first Dirty Granger Fic Fest!

This fest is dedicated to showcasing smutty new stories featuring Hermione Granger.

All prompts/stories will need to be a little bit dirty! We’re looking for those Mature and Explicit tales about our favorite little bookworm! We’re looking for stories ranging from 2,000 words or longer. There is no maximum word limit, but your story is expected to be fully completed by the submission due date. Crossovers are permitted for this event. Gender Swapping is allowed, as well. 

For those of you familiar with fests, this will be run much the same way. Just remember that not all fests are the same and not all mods are the same. The Dirty Granger Fest Mods hope to make sure this is a fun and smutty experience for all involved.

The fest will be hosted on Ao3, so if you do not have an account there, you may want to send in a request as soon as possible. As stories are revealed, we will also feature them here on Tumblr.

Feel free to reblog this post or share information about this fest with all your writer friends! We want to make sure all fans of Hermione are included! 

Important Dates to Remember:

Now thru August 14th: Get hyped! Help promote this fest and get ready for all the Dirty Granger fun!

August 15th thru 30th: Prompt Submissions where all of you submit those deliciously smutty Hermione-centric prompts!

August 31st: Preview day! Get a sneak peek at all the prompts that have been submitted!

September 1st thru 15th: Claiming! This will be a First Come/First Claim process, so be sure to write down the date and turn on blog notifications!

December 31st: Fics due to Ao3 Collection! This is a HARD date. There will be no extensions offered for this event. If it helps, write down an earlier date for yourself so you can be sure to get your story done on time!

January 2021: Reveals! Story reveals will be based on the number of submissions and pairings. They will be staggered over the course of the month. 

Please note that this is an anonymous fest, and stories may not be included as part of any other fest or event. All stories must be original works created for the sole purpose of fulfilling a prompt from this event. Once all stories have been revealed, Mods will wait about a week before an official author list is revealed to celebrate who participated in the event.

If you have questions regarding the event, you can use the Ask feature on our blog or send an email to dirtygrangerfest@gmail.com. Please make sure the subject pertains to the event and specifies what you need help with.

We can’t wait to get things started!
