Hey there! A long time ago, right after I resigned, I am pretty sure that one person emailed me and volunteered to co-moderate this fest. But months passed and no one else volunteered, and I (apparently) deleted that email. Or it got eaten or something. Thisgirl-is has now expressed an interest in modding. If you might want to write, draw, co-mod, or any combo thereof, please go comment on her post at: http://thisgirl-is.livejournal.com/18521.html

I've disabled commenting here so there won't be two places for people to look for interested parties! :)

Reminder: please do not send me private message/emails via lj. the interface drives me batty. communicate with me publically by commenting on non-fic post or privately via email to 1twistedmiracle [at] gmail [dot] com. thank you!

Here it is, the Big Reveal of HDS_Beltane 2009! Since the four posts from raitala have them in chronological posting order, I thought I would put them in alphabetical order by creator. ( Read more... )

Title: The Wind in the Whomping Willows
To: sesheta_66
Author/Artist: oceaxe
Pairing/Threesome: Harry/Draco
Rating: PG
Warnings: totally, totally AU
Word count: ~51k
Summary: I was reading the Wind in the Willows and couldn’t help picturing the Mole as Neville. Everything followed from there. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had writing/altering it. For some real fun, you might compare the original to this version. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/289/289.txt
Request: “Harry/Draco. Snape (portrait/ignore his death/before his death) as mentor to Draco or thorn in Harry’s side would be great, but not necessary. I love plot. I would enjoy something that went into the meaning behind Beltane, or the historical vs. modern observance of it. It doesn’t have to be a lesson, but something that touches on it would be great.”
Disclaimer: Characters are the property of the bizarre love child of J.K. Rowling and Kenneth Grahame. Quite a lot of Mr. Grahame’s language remains unchanged, though important changes and additions have been made. If there’s any passage that makes your eyes tear up with beauty, I probably didn’t write it. I do take credit for all things Harry/Draco, and for sharpening the character of the Badger to be more like Snape.

Pairing(s):Harry/Severus

Artist's Notes: Lomonaaeren, I loved your prompt "The Ocean at Night" – it gave me the chance to paint a seascape. You also asked for " …an outdoor scene with lots of strong colors" I hope this satisfies!
SummaryOur Heroes have come to the edge of the sea, and during their journey they have found each other.
Many thanks to our eternally patient mod for putting up with me.

Title: Veela Revealed
To: curiouslyfic
Artist: raitala
Character: Draco Malfoy
Rating: G
Warnings: None

Artist’s/Author’s Notes: This illustration was planned as a compliment to a fic currently being written for you, but sadly waylaid by the intervention of the dreaded RL. The artist hopes you enjoy this visual taster for the fic which will be too late for inclusion in the fest. The summary below will hopefully whet your appetite. And the author begs your indulgence and will post your fic as soon as she's finished it.

Summary: Eleven years after the death of Voldemort, Draco Malfoy has it all – sex, money, power. But a dark family secret threatens to become the undoing of the successful head of Malfoy Bank. His troubles bring him to private investigator Harry Potter, who lost it all – girlfriend, Galleons, Auror career – over a tenacious obsession with a certain blond. Both become entangled in the vengeful plans of a stranger from the past, and as much as Malfoy tries to resist, in the end, he must make a fateful choice for the man he is destined to love.

Title: These Four Walls
To: leochi
Author: tray_la_la
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: PG
Warnings: Off-screen character death (NOT Harry or Draco)
Word count: 4,360
Summary: There's so much that takes place within the four walls of a hospital. Harry and Draco are living proof.
Request: leochi had a very open request, and I tied in Harry and Draco as adults and the next!gen kids.

A great many thanks to S for the super fast beta and general awesomeness, and B for the quick look through and the constant support.

Title: An Inconvenient View
To: olimakiella
Author/Artist: curiouslyfic
Pairing/Threesome: Harry/Draco
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Nothing, really.
Word count: 5,600
Summary: There is, by Merlin, some Slytherin future that's not all raging fires and death. She knows because she's seen the porn. Pansy's had three years to think Divination's a crock, but it takes her most of Sixth Year to really hate it. Sometimes the trouble with looking ahead is that first, you've got to get there.
Request: Olimakiella, you asked for UST, loads of smex, post-war/post-Hogwarts preferred but you're up for anything as long as there's a happy ending. Sad bits, angst, fluff, bonus points for humour. Well thought out characters, Slytherin trio, and fic that makes you think. Prompts were: psychic, window!sex, and curtain. I tried.
Disclaimer: Characters are the property of JK Rowling, et al. This was created for fun, not for profit.
Author's Note: Thanks to L for the beta, B for the prodding, and the fabulous mod for the patience. Thanks for the prompts, Olimakiella.

Title: Skin
To: lotus_lizzy
Author/Artist: nebst
Pairing/Threesome: Harry/Draco, Harry/Snape
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: um. mild nudity?
Summary: Harry discovers his inner artist. Draco and Snape get to put up with it.
Request: "I love fics with old wizarding courting rituals, bonding fics, a fic that has any of the characters being artists."
Disclaimer: Characters are the property of JK Rowling, et al. This was created for fun, not for profit.

Artist's Note: I really did consider doing a graphic novel type thing for your prompt #2, but then realised that was quite probably insane and there was no way I'd have the time to do it justice. So, um, I improvised? :D I present a strange amalgamation of both your prompts, in which a courting ritual involves people painting Beltane-themed things on each other. (In other words, thank you for giving me an opportunity to cover Snape in little pink flowers.)

Title: Eurydice’s Answer
To: stupid_drawings
Author/Artist: lomonaaeren
Pairing/Threesome: Harry/Snape.
Rating: PG-13.
Warnings: Profanity, slash, Potions shop talk. AU in that it takes place after DH, but Snape is still alive (sort of) and the epilogue doesn’t happen.
Word count: ~17,000
Summary: “No magic can bring back the dead.” But it might bring back the almost- dead. Harry knows he has to try. Where potions and the underworld come into it is an open question.
Request: I would love build up to romance! Snarry From the special prompts, I chose Thinly veiled excuse to touch and letters unread. And since you said you don’t like Hermione doing anything in the Snarry world, she is mentioned a few times but does not appear.
Disclaimer: Characters are the property of JK Rowling, et al. This was created for fun, not for profit.
Author's Note: stupid_drawings, I hope you like this! I couldn’t quite make it fluff, but it avoids the deeper angst. And the build-up to romance is definitely the focus of the story.
