A blog dedicated to tracking, compiling and promoting fan events for Harry Potter Tracking #hpevents or you can submit your event directly to the blog!
After a long hiatus (life, am I right?), HPConsent Fest is back, and weâre so ready to dive once again into stories that celebrate consent in all its beautiful, complex forms.
We believe in exploring what it means to choose, to communicate, and to care in every kind of relationship across the wizarding world. From awkward first kisses to hard-won trust between old friends, from soft-spoken boundaries to powerful affirmations of âyes.â
Stay tuned over the next few weeks for more info on dates, prompts, and how to join the magic!
Because the best spells are the ones cast with consent. đŞ â¤ď¸

Rules and Guidelines
What is a Big Bang?
A Big Bang is a challenge where writers and artists come together to create an explosion of new content for a particular ship. The first Big Bang was hosted in 2005 for the Drarry ship.
Rules
All participants must be 18+ to participate. Anyone found to be misrepresenting their age will be barred from this event and all future events.
There are no content restrictions for the event; dead dove content is allowed.
No AI may be used in either your fic or art submissions. Anyone found to be using AI will be barred from this event and all future events.
Author Requirements
All fics must center the m/m Harry Potter / Tom Riddle | Voldemort ship. If you are in any doubt at all about whether your fic is 'Tomarrymort-centric' or would like further clarification, please do ask early. Email us at tomarrymortbigbang [at] gmail.com.
The minimum word count is 10,000 words. All fics must be standalone and previously unpublished, written in English, and 100% written by you. Please use a beta for SPAG, or plan to be your own beta. NO AI-assisted editing OR AI-assisted translation is permitted.
There will be a mid-point check-in on September 30, at which point authors are expected to be 30% of the way to the word count minimum and will submit a summary and snippet in order to match to an artist.
Submissions are due on December 31 (Tom's birthday).
(Optional) Theme: There is no formal theme for this event, but if you'd like a couple of ideas for inspiration, feel free to use 'Birthday Gifts' and/or 'Fast Burn' as your theme.
Artist Requirements
All art must center the Harry Potter / Tom Riddle | Voldemort ship, and correspond to the paired fic.
Artwork should be polished and complete (ie, more than a sketch). Submissions do not all have to be in full color, but should at least feature clean linework with thoughtful shading and composition.
Artists will be contacted to request matches after fic summaries are due on September 30. Artists and authors pairings will be released on October 15.
Submissions are due on December 31 (Tom's birthday).
Why 10,000 words?
HP fandom Big Bangs have ranged from 2,000 word minimums to 50,000 word minimums. As an example, Drarry Big Bang was 50,000 word minimum (source), Jegulus Big Bang was 20,000 word minimum (source), Remus/Sirius Big Bang was 20,000 word minimum (source).
For the Tomarrymort Big Bang, writers will have between July 31 and December 31 which is 5 months to complete 10,000 words. Please only sign up for the fest if you can commit to this minimum word count.

I thought it'd be fun to have a HP-specific prompt list for kinktober this year, so I made one! There's also an ao3 collection. The rules and format are the same as @kinktober-2025 with the exception that they any creations for this event should be for the Harry Potter fandom.
Prompts:
1. Incarcerous | Owlery | Regret
2. Alohomora | 12 Grimmauld Place | Vanishing Cabinet
3. Boggart | Hogsmeade | Magical Law
4. Divination | Riddle Era | Trick Stair
5. Magical Oath | Gryffindor | Magical Tattoo
6. Love Potion | Prefects' Bathroom | Full Moon
7. Potions Mishap | Forbidden Forest | Non-human
8. Obliviate | Common Room | Love
9. Accio | Three Broomsticks | Charmed Jewelry
10. Pensieve | Diagon Alley | Social Expectations
11. Healing Spell | Marauder's Era | Marauder's Map
12. Animagus | Slytherin | Bloodline Curse

18. Transfiguration | Golden Trio Era | Secret Passage
In the magical society of Harry Potter, instant, traceless healing is the rule rather than an exception. Every scar becomes significant - beginning with The Lightning Bolt Scar central to this universe.
But it's not just Harry: Many of the characters have scars. Thus, how do these physical marks shape them?
HP Kintsugi, a prompt and claim fest open to all fanwork formats, aims to celebrate the scars and the concept of scarring as physical imperfections within the world of Harry Potter. Let us explore the vulnerabilities of our favourite characters together!
Dates:
Prompting phase: August 15th - October 15th
Claiming and creation phase: October 31st (2025) - January 15th (2026)
Work (anonymous) reveals: January 31st

The Voldemort Brainrot server presents âFeed My Frankensteinâ! The FMF Fest encourages and celebrates the good, the bad, and the ugly of monsters. The goal of this fest is to take a pairing and turn one â or both â characters into monsters â or if they are already so, explore canon further. One character must be a Death Eater, but the other is free to choose.
This is inclusive but not restricted to Tomarry, Tomione, Volmione, and Harrymort. Do whatever pairing you please, as long one is a Death Eater!
Although run directly by @screamingmandrakes and @riledheart, this fest is the group effort of the members of the Voldemort Brainrot Discord server. Due to the nature of the server, it is 18+ and the fest adheres to the same rules. The FMF fest is not directly a dead dove one, but it is encouraged :)

We're sure you're all as excited as we are about Drarry Disability Fest 2024, and prompting is now open!
Please be mindful of our prompting guidelines when submitting your prompts:
This is an 18+ fest.
Anyone can prompt, whether youâre planning on creating or not, and each person is allowed to submit a maximum of 10 prompts.
A person with a disability doesnât need to be the main character, but they do need to be one of the primary characters. Along the same note, the disability(ies) donât need to be the sole focus of the creation, but it does need to be an important part of the person's life.
No cure-all fics, please! If you choose to give your character a disability that can't be cured in real life, please donât magically take them away in your fic; disabled people can have happily ever afters while still being disabled.
Itâs fine to prompt disabled people or mentally ill people getting sick, however please donât prompt sickfics in which an able person happens to be temporarily sickâthey donât count as a disabled person.
If you have previously written a fic centering the experiences of a disabled person in a Drarry-centric fic, feel free to recommend your work for podfic. However, your fic will still be subject to the screening we put to all prompts in this fest. Because of the nature of this fest in that itâs centered on stigmatized topics, the mods will screen prompts, (and self-prompts once claiming opens) to make sure these rules are followed.
If you are prompting someone else's fic for a podfic, please ensure permission is gained from the author before prompting.
Prompting closes March 20, self prompting still open during claiming
You can submit your prompts here.
All prompts that have been submitted can be found here.
We can't wait to see what you all come up with!!!

Welcome Back to the 2ND YEAR of Drarry Disability Fest (2024)!
For those who don't know, Drarry Disability Fest is a fest dedicated to the accurate representation of disabilities, d/Deafness, medical conditions, and mental illness; Drarry Disability Fest is the first of it's kind. In this fest there will be no romanticism of disability (though romance will definitely be present elsewhere), instead we want our artists and writers to focus on accurate depiction - whether it be of the sad, mad, or glad times of disability and mental illness.
Our goal is to add diversity to the Drarry fic and fanart community, and we firmly believe that while disability and mental illness can be very difficult to handle, they do not mean that we're destined to a life of inaction and solitude; we are an empowered community.
All the mods for this fest are disabled/mentally ill to some extent, and have experience with a variety of additional disabilities to ensure that we have maximum ability to give feedback and filter prompts to the best of our ability.
We would also like to say that everyone's experience with mental illness and disability is different, so if you end up reading a depiction of your illness or disability that differs from your own, please accept that we do our best to filter the media in this fest so that it is safe for disabled readers, and remember that every different experience with a condition is valid.
This fest will not be anonymous, and we're posting to the fest AO3 Collection in July as that is Disability Pride Month. This year we are starting everything slightly earlier so that all you beautiful creators have more time to create, so follow our tumblr and join our discord sever to be sure you don't miss anything.
Anyone may prompt to this fest, even if you don't plan to create anything, however we will be filtering your prompt submissions on the AirTable to ensure they are sensitive to the disability/mental illness you are wishing to see depicted.
You don't need to be disabled to write about disabilities, but please do your research, ask questions from disabled sensitivity readers, and if you're ever unsure our wonderful mods Ceylon, Rowan, and Kel are happy to help. We have a wordcount minimum of ~1000 or equivalent. This means if you're not doing a written piece then put in the effort equivalent in your digital fanart, podfic, or other media. We do not accept videos at this time.
Beta readers/viewers are required for each submission. You can self prompt when claiming, and you can claim multiple prompts as long as you submit each work before claiming a new prompt.
The Dates are as follows in MST/MDT:
February 29 (Leap Year): Prompting Begins
March 20: Prompting Closes (Self-Prompting still allowed)
April 1: Claiming Opens
June 15: Claiming Closes
June 16 : Submissions Deadline
July 1: Posting Begins
July 31: Posting Ends & Fest Wrap-up
Further in depth fest rules can be found at the pinned post on our tumblr, please give them a read as they have been updated!
Your mods: Rowan @basicallyahedgehog (tumblr), Ceylon @quackquackcey (tumblr), Kel @slytherinthelibrary (tumblr)
A PSA: We acknowledge that J.K. Rowling is the author of the series this fandom is based in, however all mods involved strongly disagree with and refute any and all racist, antisemitic, transphobic, homophobic, and other prejudiced ideas the author holds. This is a safe space for trans people and two of our mods are trans themselves. If you are transphobic or homophobic or otherwise prejudiced against any marginalized group; you are not welcome here.
đś Now weâre four, five seconds from Promptinâ
