PROMPTING FOR THE SALT AND PEPPER FEST IS
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 Saturday, Nov 17th (midnight, EST). We'll edit this post when prompting is closed.
Prompt Form
Leave your prompts by filling out this form in a comment below!
Brief explanation of the form:
Prompt: Can be as simple (word, phrase, song lyric) or as specific as you like. Please do not outline an entire plot, however. :D
Suggested Characters/Pairings: This is optional and can be left blank if you'd like!
Theme/Tone: Fluffy, angsty, etc. The overall mood. Also can be left blank if you'd like!
Additional Info: Here you can leave likes, dislikes, squicks, or anything else that doesn't fit above, but keep in mind that as this is not a gift, creators will not be required to stick strictly to these things. Also optional and can be left blank if you'd like!
no subject
Date: 2018-11-10 12:16 am (UTC)Prompt: Minerva McGonagall doesn't have many regrets. Giving up on Severus in the final year of the war is one of them, especially considering their complicated history. Each year, on his birthday, she quietly raises a glass for him and tells herself she's the last person he'd want to see. On his 50th birthday, she stops lying to herself, and shows up at his door.
Suggested Characters/Pairings: Severus Snape/Minerva McGonagall
Theme/Tone: Melancholy, reconciliation, forgiveness, a bit of angst - or whatever you'd like!
Additional Info: If you'd prefer Gen rather than romance, that's fine.
#2
Prompt: Harry decides to have a small memorial service to mark the 50th anniversary of his parents' death. Just the people closest to him and a few survivors from the war. After not having spoken in many years, and thinking it's well past time to gather his Gryffindor courage and face his complex feelings towards the man, he decides to invite Severus Snape.
Suggested Characters/Pairings: Harry Potter/Severus Snape
Theme/Tone: Forgiveness, hurt/comfort, moving forward, UST, ultimately life affirming. But I really don't mind, go wherever the prompt takes you :)
Additional Info: If you don't want to show the memorial and just focus on the lead up or aftermath, that's fine.
