Harry Potter Kinkfest

This is writcraft here, writing a quick intro to the new mods for those of you who don't know us and to tell the members and watchers about our plans for the community. Firstly, both blithelybonny and I want to thank marguerite_26 and vaysh for running such a fabulous community for such a long time, and for giving us the opportunity to be part of their creation. We are incredibly happy to be the new moderators, and we can't wait for the fest next year - we hope to make you proud!

First off, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. We know HP Kinkfest has been really popular throughout the years and we hope it will continue to be so. We don't plan to change the format of the fest, the general timing of the fest or anything at all, really. We will announce dates nearer the time but you can expect Kinkfest to run around the same time of year, and in the same format as it always has. In addition to the annual fest (and because we love kink) we are very open to doing something mid-way though the year on a much more casual comment fest kind of basis, but we will canvas views on that sort of thing nearer the time and will be guided by you, the community watchers and members.

For those of you who don't know us, I have been active in HP fandom since 2010 (and I was a lurker well before that). I write and I moderate hp_darkarts, harrybang and assisted with hds_beltane for the last two years of the fest. My lovely co-mod blithelybonny has been in HP fandom for over ten years as a writer and reccer. We are both multi-shippers with slash OTPs (Snarry and H/D respectively) but we read and write a wide variety of pairings and hope that HP Kinkfest will continue to be the diverse, kinky, fun, BRILLIANT fest it's always been. We are both passionate believers in freedom of kink in the fandom space and we are thrilled to be part of a community like HP Kinkfest.

Having said we're not going to change anything, we are actually looking to give the community layout a revamp with delicious art and fresh banners to promote the next fest. If you're interested in being part of the revamp as a coding guru, banner maker or artist (we are looking for several artists to contribute both to banners and the comm header) we would love to hear from you at HPKinkfest@gmail.com.

Please feel free to comment on this post with any thoughts, suggestions or queries.

With the last Weekly Round-up posted, hp_kinkfest has come to a close. We had 43 awesomely kinky entries this year. :)

The Kinkfest Masterlist will be posted on Friday.

Late entries are still welcome, in case you are deliberating whether to post that kinky fic or art you have not quite finished. Please drop us an email so we can give you late posting rights.

If you recced any entries of this year's hp_kinkfest, please tell us here in comments. We are collecting all recs to be sent to the daily_snitch for Hot Rec or Hot Art. The Snitch is only asking for two unflocked recs for all pairings but Draco/Harry, Remus/Sirius and Harry/Severus, which need three recs. Draco/Hermione and Hermione/Severus folks, especially, rec off your socks! :)

Thank you, everybody, for making this year's fest another outstanding kinky experience -
marguerite_26 and vaysh

Kinky Fic

_hannelore wrote Magnificent Beasts (Daphne Greengrass/Ronan | NC-17 | 4555 words)
Summary: Pansy knows a secret that is dear to Daphne's heart. When a centaur spies on Daphne in the forest, the temptation to make fantasy into reality seems too good to be true.

leontinabowie wrote Show Off (Harry/Draco | NC-17 | 2000 words)
Summary: Draco and Harry have sex in public

Many of you surely will be soon at the point where you require a beta but might not know anyone who would be comfortable with your chosen subject matter. Because of that, we are asking for kink-friendly betas to offer their services to those in need. Please, help a budding (or experienced) kinkster out and sign up at this post for beta-reading, using the following template.

<b>Name:</b> <b>Email:</b> <b>I will read:</b> het/slash/femslash (choose all that apply) <b>Kinks you consider your specialties:</b> <b>Squicks/kinks you won't read:</b> <b>Beta strengths:</b> (SPaG, characterization, britpicking, etc.)

Writers/artists, feel free to contact these lovely volunteers directly – either in comments or via email – and ask if they'd be willing to help you.
