SALT AND PEPPER FEST 2020 - PROMPTING IS OPEN

[hpgoldenage_mod]

PROMPTING FOR THE SALT AND PEPPER FEST IS OPEN! Now 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 Sunday, Nov 17th (midnight, EST). We'll edit this post when prompting is closed.

Prompt: finding love after loss. One character loses their husband, and for a time they think they won’t be able to find love again (surely one great love is enough for a lifetime, asking for another is just greedy). However in time they find themselves being drawn towards their friend and finding love again
Suggested Characters/Pairings: any femslash pairing – would love for it to be Tonks, Hermione or Ginny centric
Theme/Tone: finding love again? hopeful
Additional Info:

Prompt: they may be getting older, but it doesn’t mean they have to act older. Two female characters who have fun or cause mischief, love and laughter!!
Suggested Characters/Pairings: My thought is Linny, but any femslash ship is fine!
Theme/Tone: Fun?
Additional Info:

Prompt: Coming back together. They had a love as teenagers, first love that burned bright but burned out. They both agreed they were better as friends, but have always loved each other still. Now that they’re older, it seems like maybe the time is right again, and they find their way back to each other again.
Suggested Characters/Pairings: Maybe Lavender/Parvati? But any femslash really!!
Theme/Tone: Finding love again
Additional Info: I would prefer this to have been a mutual split, and the characters were happy, not unrequited love or star crossed lovers. Just that the time was wrong then, and for a long time their love was platonic, but now it seems like the time is right again.
