lostinthelightss Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Challenge Name: The Make maraudertimes Swoon Challenge Challenge Deadline: July 1st, 2020 Accepted Fandom(s): Harry Potter Accepted Ratings: Any and all! (which means smut is allowed, provided that everything adheres to HPFT's guidelines) Challenge Details: I really love romance. Any kind of romance, I will devour it until my heart melts and I am a puddle on the floor. Please write me a romance. Angsty, fluffy, action/adventure-y. The one thing I ask is to include a kiss. Don't make me ship a non-existent thing, I will get annoyed. This doesn't mean you have to go full on smut - if the entire story ends when these two characters finally realize they love each other and share a chaste kiss? That's romance too and I am here for it!!!!! But give me something to ship! Also, they have to end up together. I do not want to fall in love just to have my heart broken. Rules: Must include a kiss Must have the main ship end up together (no sad endings, I want to swoon not sob) Must be of the Romance genre (obviously) No prewritten entries, and they must be standalone (i.e. no chapters in existing fic, and I shouldn't have to read something else to understand) Must be Status: Completed by the deadline Can be combined with other challenges Multiple entries are allowed Must have "For the Make maraudertimes Swoon Challenge" in the story summary/notes Rewards: All entries will receive a review Honourable mentions - 1 extra review and a graphic 3rd Place - 2 extra reviews and a graphic 2nd Place - 3 extra reviews and a graphic 1st Place - 5 extra reviews and a graphic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonsGirlTuesday Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Question: Does it necessarily have to start with the characters not being together, and then they get together, or can it have to do with a romantic relationship that's already been established? Just checking because of the way you stated your rules, I didn't know if you're specifically looking for, you know, the thrill of brand new romance or whatevs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking because of the way you stated your rules, I didn't know if you're specifically looking for, you know, the thrill of brand new romance or whatevs. Fair question - I don't care how the ship is established. If you want to make it how the ship got together, if it's their wedding day, if it's a random date night 30 years after they met. It can be an angsty story about them getting through a difficult time together, a fluff piece about the birth of their first child, an action adventure piece where they end up getting married on a boat by a pirate captain during a sword fight with the undead (maybe not that one, there's probably some copyright). The only things I want are a kiss, and that you don't break them apart by the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mymischiefmanaged Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Quick question - is a sad ending okay if the couple are together until the end but there's a canon death? Would love to write a Cedric/Oliver for this but sadly no happy endings for them 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angst is alright unless the angst comes from them no longer being together for some reason at the end of the story (breakup, death, whatever else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhorsen. Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 so i have a question - if i had a hypothetical collection of a consecutive series of one-shots that can each stand alone, would another chapter in that be okay as an entry? edit: but also "branwen find something new to fucking write about" is totally and completely okay! 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
