hp_goldenage | SALT AND PEPPER FEST 2021

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 Saturday, Nov 14th (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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Prompt: At age 55, Harry has been running unopposed for the Minister of Magic for the last eight years. This election, he's running against young upstart Scorpius Malfoy. Harry wasn't worried at first, because who would want to elect a twenty-nine-year-old into office? But as the election draws close and their margins grow closer, Harry grows suspicious of the campaign practices of Scorpius Malfoy's campaign manager: his father, Draco Malfoy.

AKA Scorpius runs against Harry for Minister and Magic and is winning by his own right, but of course Harry thinks Draco Malfoy is Up to Something.
Suggested Characters/Pairings: Harry/Draco
Theme/Tone: PolitiFic!! Maybe sexy and politi-geeky rivals? Is that a tone?
Additional Info: These are just more details I've got floating in my brain that you can totally free to ignore! I'm imagining details like, "10,000 owl-in ballots left to count at 60%, Scorpius could still turn Cornwall", campaign smears, etc. I'm imagining Scorpius to have AOC vibes and dunking on Harry with memes, and then Harry trying to swoop in with his dad jokes. And of course Draco being as Slytherin as possible by pulling in as many favors as he can! Except instead of the dark magic deals that his dad used to do, he does ones like "I pulled in a favor with Goyle, he's the best hair stylist in town" which is why Scorpius has like, incredibly sexy multicolored hair, meanwhile Harry is like "I can't get my hair to dye evenly" so he has literal patches of grey where his wand couldn't reach.
