[hpgoldenage_mod]

PROMPTING FOR THE SALT AND PEPPER FEST IS OPEN! closed!

Before you run off to leave us all your fab prompts, please check out the general rules for this fest and the prompting guidelines below!

Prompt Guidelines

1. Anyone can leave a prompt regardless of whether or not you're planning on claiming one. Submitting a prompt doesn't commit you to anything.

2. You can leave up to seven prompts. Prompts can be in the same comment or listed separately.

3. Prompts must be relevant to the theme of this community - any canon character at 50+. (i.e. a prompt focusing on Harry as a young parent would not fit.)

4. That said, we want all sorts of prompts! Fluffy, angsty, light or dark, gen, slash, femslash, het, threesome/moresome, character studies, mysteries, drama, comedy--anything goes!

5. Keep in mind that this is not a gift exchange. Your name will not be listed with your prompt in the claiming stage or when the fest is posting. Claimers will also be able to deviate from the prompt if their muse goes in a different direction (switch out characters, go with a different overall tone, etc.)

6. Prompts may be edited for clarity.

7. Prompting is open now until the end of Monday, Nov 14th (midnight, EST). We'll edit this post when prompting is closed.

Oh god LOL you went there

:D

I really hope whoever writes this includes a tambourine

[shiftylinguini.livejournal.com]

Prompt: after the breakup of a long-term unsatisfying relationship, Draco sets out to find someone new, using a discreet new dating service Pansy recommends. He’s after a change ― someone young, and vibrant, and exciting! What he finds instead is...Potter.
Suggested Characters/Pairings: Harry/Draco
Theme/Tone: romance, humour, getting together
Additional Info: dating disasters, banter, flirty and confident Harry, flustered Draco

[shiftylinguini.livejournal.com]

Prompt: There’s an old wives tale in Draco’s family that an unwed Malfoy man will suffer an elaborate and painful death unless he finds a spouse by the age of 55. At 54, Malfoy is very much unwed, and quite certain that this is all total bollocks, but his mother thinks the situation is dire and is determined to find someone suitable for him to prevent certain, ridiculous death. It doesn’t help that the only sane person in all of this is Malfoy’s neighbour, Harry Potter, or that Draco has been nursing feelings for him for quite some time. He’s getting far too old for all of this...
Suggested Characters/Pairings: Harry/Draco
Theme/Tone: romance, fun, humour
Additional Info: up to you if it’s EWE or if Draco is simply divorced from Astoria! Narcissa setting draco up with disastrous dates would be fun, charming!Harry

[shiftylinguini.livejournal.com]

Prompt: Harry’s happy with his wife and their sex life, but there’s something he’s always wanted to try ― specifically, he’s always wanted to know what it would be like to be fucked ― and if you can’t ask for it when you’re 50, when can you? Lucky for him, Ginny is more than willing to accommodate.
Suggested Characters/Pairings: Harry/Ginny
Theme/Tone: sexy, experimental, new
Additional Info: pegging! :D:D:D confident, toppy!Ginny, and having his mind blown!Harry would be nice?

[birdsofshore]

[shiftylinguini.livejournal.com]

Prompt: Teddy and Victoire have been a couple for a long time, and love each other to death, but there’s always been something between Teddy and his god brother James, which all three of them have been aware of. The night of James’s 50th seems a great opportunity for Teddy and Victoire to see where this can lead.
Suggested Characters/Pairings: James/Teddy/Victoire
Theme/Tone: fun, sexy, romantic
Additional Info: polyamory, first time, would love Victoire to be as involved in this as the guys
