The official tumblr for the HP WIP fest. Here to make you meet your deadlines for published and unpublished wip's. Running from the 15th of July 2019 until the 1st of September.
Hello lovely fest participants! I am deeply sorry for the radio silence from the past few weeks, real life is a bitch. But without further ado, I hereby present the promised post about adding your work to the collection.
Here is the link to the collection
There are 2 ways to post to the collection. If your fic is not yet on ao3, you can go to this page, then click the button “Post to collection”. You then fill in the fields as normal and hit post. Once the work is approved, it will show up in the collection.
The other way to put your work in the collection is by editing your fic and putting “HP WIP fest 2019″ in the Post to Collections / Challenges box. It is easiest to type instead of copy paste, because ao3 will automatically fill in the challenges starting with HP WIP (this method is less prone to copy or spelling errors mucking things up).
Because I am so late with posting this (pro tip, don’t host a fest all on your own), I will accept fics added to the collection until the 5th of September. If you have any questions, please send me an email at [email protected] (it is easier to reply to email than to tumblr messages).
Hello dear fest participants and exited readers. I hereby give you the second and final masterpost of the HP WIP Fest, announcing the last WIP’s that have entered. As it is once again a sizeable list, I have put it under a cut, with the WIP’s that are already on ao3 first in case you want to start reading already.
If you signed up for the fest but do not see your WIP in this list, this is probably because I do not yet have a title for your work. In that case, please make sure I have them before September 1st otherwise I cannot include you in this fest.
I hope all the participants find lots of inspiration to finish in the upcoming weeks, and to our early readers, enjoy these wonderful WIP’s!

Scenes from a Secuction by @ellesjourney
Pairing: Hermione/Astoria/Draco
It was just supposed to be a job, a summer of tutoring and research. She had no idea what she was getting into.
#37
Mudblood by @comfortablesilences110
Pairing: Draco/Hermione
‘Just bloody give it to me Malfoy!’ She knew her choice of words were a mistake as soon as they left her mouth. She put her hand out to indicate the potion he so cruelly held above her head. But he wasn’t going to let the opportunity by.
‘Ooooooh,’ he hooted like an owl, ‘If I had of known you had it this hot for me I would have asked years ago.' He leaned down towards her face and said quietly into her ear, ‘Would have saved a lot of effort having to woo a girl when a pretty little Mudblood’s ready to spread her…’ he didn’t get any farther. The smirk was wiped off his face as she pushed him up against the opposite shelf.
‘Say it again,’ she dared. He leaned into her face, snarling, ‘…mudblood.’
She didn’t know who moved first but suddenly his arms were around her waist, tongue swiping across her lips demanding access, she opened her mouth and gave in to him, pressing her body against his. He pushed her away, breaking off the kiss.
‘Get off me Mudblood filth!’ he panted, staring at her. ‘As if I would ever lower myself to you’ fingers gripping tightly to the shelf behind him.
She strode confidently towards the door without a word.
‘Tell that to your cock Malfoy.’
#38
Veela Bound by @Artisticrae
Pairing: Drarry
Draco is bleeding out on the bathroom floor, that is until his dormant Veela heritage kicks in and heals him. Unintentional bonding, unexpected powers, surprising alliances, and very very confusing dreams. Harry's last year at Hogwarts just got a lot more interesting. Explicit Drarry. Canon divergent from mid-year HBP.
#39
However I Fall by @mia-ugly
Pairing: Harry/Severus
In one timeline, Severus lives. In the other, he dies.
In both, he falls in love.
#40
Catfished by @wildflame
Pairing: Wolfstar, Jily
Lily wakes up after a night of heavy drinking with a mysterious number on the back of her hand. Certain that it belongs to the idiot that was hitting on her the night before, Sirius embarks on a little prank...
#41
It Happened in Egypt by @bionicallywriting
Pairing: Hermione/Draco
Wandless in Egypt: Draco's stranded in Egypt, but luckily, there's a Granger in sight. Now, if only he could be prevented from strangling her.
Fun times abroad: It was supposed to be a leisurely solo trip down the Nile. Hermione didn't factor in one blond man from her past and all his drama. Then, of course, there's the fact that everyone's after him. Much hilarity ensues. Maybe.
#42
(Mis)calculations by @rockmarina
Pairing: Drarry
This is how they find each other: at 2 am, in the Eighth year common room. Draco wanting to fall, Harry wanting to sink, and both of them in need of someone to hold on to.
#45
El estúpido pelo rosa de Draco Malfoy by @rockmarina
Pairing: Drarry
"Oh, mira, pero si es Harry ‘ya no odio a Malfoy y no estoy obsesionado con él’ Potter. Llevamos diez minutos esperándote para ir a desayunar, ¿sabes?”
Harry tiene que volver a Hogwarts para cursar octavo, y está decidido a pasar un año tranquilo y libre de complicaciones. Malfoy, por supuesto, está ahí para arruinar sus planes.
#44
All We Are (Is What We Got Together) by @malfoyfamilycrest
Pairing: Harry/Ginny/Draco
The first anniversary of Astoria's death has just passed and Draco feels sad. Scorpius, Albus, and Albus's parents all agree that he needs a new purpose in life. Fortunate that Minerva is currently looking for an extra Potions teacher... Draco eventually agrees to give it a shot. In between family dinners at the Potters’ place, teaching at Hogwarts, watching Harry give some special DADA lessons and watching how well Albus and Scorpius get along, his old crush for Harry somehow resurfaces. To complicate things, Ginny also turns out to be nice and supportive and strong—her mental strength reminds him of Astoria in many ways, despite their obvious physical differences. Draco ends up having not just one crush but two and no idea how to act.
I have decided to push the final masterpost to August 2nd, so I can give some more time to people who have not given me the details of their fest fics yet. Thank you for understanding!

Skin Deep by @loganaa-fic
Pairing: Drarry
When Harry accepts a job at Dean's tattoo parlor, he never expected that Draco Malfoy would show up, looking for a tattoo. But then again, since when did Malfoy do what was expected?
#2
The Boy Who Killed God by @sirius-black-killed-god
Pairing: Wolfstar
Sirius Black has a secret. Well, no, that's not true. Sirius Black has many secrets. His wand is dying, his parents more or less want to kill him, and there's the small matter of the cursed TOUJOURS PUR tattoo right above his heart, that he's had since he turned eight years old. Sirius Black is no stranger to secrets.
Then, Remus Lupin walks into his life.
Thus, begins a whole new history - one of darkness, of magic, of bravery, of family - as four boys set out to unwind the endings so many others have written for them.
This is the story of the Marauders at Hogwarts and afterwards, and all the love that lies between.
This is Year One.
#3
Apparently by justanotherloser
Pairing: Drarry
Father says apparently I feel too much.
Mother says apparently my mask needs to hide more of my emotions.
The Dark Lord says apparently I'm too weak.
Blaise says apparently I hate too often, and Pansy says I apparently need to let go.
I never get to make choices with them. Not with my family, not with my life, not with my house.
Apparently I can only choose who I hate, and I can't even get that right.
Apparently I love Harry Potter.
#4
Are You Here To Finish Me Off, Sweetheart? by @geekmom13
Pairing: Antonin Dolohov/Hermione Granger

#5
Children of war by @the-purple-black
Pairing: Bellatrix Lestrange/Rodolphus Lestrange
A promise made by Bellatrix to the Dark Lord seemed unimportant at the time, though years later it seems her loyalty must be put to the test.
#6
Fixed Point by @frumpologist
Pairing: Dramione
Draco and Hermione are Time Unspeakables who travel through time to stop anachronists from using illegal time travel to change the course of history.
Their adventures lead them through the whole of history and the unwritten expanse of the future. Hermione learns about the History of Magic and Draco learns about science, Muggles, and falling in love.
However, there are fixed points in time, events so important that they cannot be altered. Hermione Granger’s tragic life as an Unspeakable is one of those points, and nothing Draco can do will change the path they’re forced to follow.
#7
Not In Love (Letters) by @drarryangels
Pairing: Drarry
It's eighth year at Hogwarts, and Harry is unsurprisingly beyond miserable. Ron isn't coming back for his last year of school, Hermione is suddenly best friends with Pansy Parkinson, and Draco Malfoy won't stop ignoring him. Even all the House unity is going too splendidly to be exciting. Truthfully, Harry wishes he had never come back at all. That is, until he starts receiving letters from an anonymous sender.
#8
Sequel to Palo Alto by @nachodiablo
Pairing: Wolfstar
Modern AU set in Northern California. It's been four years since Sirius and Remus got their shit together. James and Lily aren't doing too shabby, either. Things are going great. Sure, James still hasn't gotten any of his business ideas off the ground quite yet. And yeah, Lily's still not ready to move in with James, even though she spends every night at his place. And okay, Remus might be starting to freak a little about whether his PhD is going to land him in some no-name wasteland town for a job. And fine, Sirius has stalled out a bit since he left work to pursue his dreams of... well, to find a dream to pursue. Regardless. Things are great. Very chill. That is, until a family tragedy brings an adorable bundle of responsibility into their lives.
#9
The End Is Just The Beginning by @the-fifth-marauder

The Seven Year Witch by @thelastlynx
Pairing: Dramione
A boy and a girl have been meeting, coincidentally, for seven summers. While they pretty much hate each other most of the year, for those little moments in July or August they manage to see one another in a different light. But will that be quite enough to bring them together?
#19
Distant Stars by @of-stars-and-moon
Pairing: Wolfstar, Jily
(The story of Sirius Black, a Slytherin student as he finds friendship and love from someone he never expected)
'The memory was still so new and clear, feeling like it was yesterday but an eternity away at the same time.

#20

Pairing: Drarry

#21
The Noble and Most Ancient Guide to Vice and Virtues by grimyoufuck
Pairing: Wolfstar
Toujours Pur; the words had been branded into Sirius' subconscious from a young age. It was a motto he'd never been able to live up to, even when he had tried. But now? Now, he was going to escape his mother's scathing words and his father's ambivalent silence to travel the continent with his best friend, and nothing was going to stop him. His mother was determined to keep the bloodline pure, and uphold the name of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, Sirius was determined to do the opposite.
When Sirius Black journeys to France to begin the first leg of his European tour with best friend James Potter, he'd expected a holiday of booze and boys. What he hadn't expected, much less wanted, was an educational trip, including nights out at the opera. But when a particular cast member catches Sirius' eye, he wonders if some good old fashioned fun could be obtained after all.
#22
Serendipity by @mrsren96
Pairing: Harry/Hermione
Like any girl, Hermione has dreamed of her future nuptials, at least once or twice. So far it's not going so well. There's a marriage law, and well, Harry Potter to deal with.
#23
Avignon by bittercape
Pairing: Gen
Voldemort is dead, and Wizarding Britain is controlled by the totalitarian Umbridge Ministry. The resistance, mainly centered around our heroes from the books (with some additions and some changes), is working against overpowering odds to overthrow the government. Think a reversed French revolution meets Cold War-era Berlin. With magic.
#24
A Bond Beyond The Vast Wave by @mangopassionfruity
Pairing: Sirius/Lucius, James/Lily, Lily/Severus
Sirius was a many things, rebellious, lazy, a prankster, troublemaker, lady's man, irresponsible, carefree. Or that is what he likes to appear as. And why break that image he's crafted for himself? Even if it'd make his life easier, especially with his hidden relationship with a certain Malfoy heir.
But things backfire and it leads to making decisions that change his way of life.
#25
Though My Mind Could Think (I Still Was a Mad Man) by Cassiara
Pairing: Drarry
After the war is over Harry thinks it's finally his turn to rest after years of pretending he's fine, and just waiting for the day he isn't needed anymore. He tries to kill himself, but of all people, Malfoy saves him. Harry realises that if he has the courage to die, he should also have the courage to live.
Ultimately this is a story about recovery, but it's also about all the things you sometimes have to go through to get there.
This is a rewrite of my fic "Favourite Scar".
#26
Explosions in the heart by @hp-rbiim
Pairing: Drarry
It's back to Hogwarts and Malfoy is annoying as ever.

#28
Encounters by @pottercrew
Pairing: Drarry
Harry is finding it difficult to keep his relationship with Draco apart from his relationships with Malfoy. What if he no longer wants to? Kink negotiation, anal sex, blow jobs, hard sex, bondage, voyeurism, sex club.
#29
The Side Of The Angels by @hiddenhibernian
“Focus,” Hermione told herself, forcing her breathing to slow down. “What's the worst that can happen?”
Bad question. Her heart was hammering so hard it drowned out the buzz from the bar on the other side of the door to the cleaning cupboard she unceremoniously had been bundled into. The bar was the Hag's Head, and it was usually a friendly place for the Order of the Phoenix. They were still fighting, five years after the fall of Harry Potter, but Aberforth had turned against them... It didn't bear thinking about.
Then the door opened.
#30
Not Gryffindor…? by Dracomalfoyy_youlittleshit
Harry gets sorted into Slytherin, finding an unlikely friendship in Draco Malfoy. Basically a retell of Harry Potter but with Harry in Slytherin.

On July 15th, I will post a masterpost with everyone who is participating, including the name and summary of your WIP. This means that I need a title and summary on July 14th at the latest, otherwise I cannot include you in the master post on Tumblr. If you have not included that yet in your sign up form, please email them to me.
If you want a link to your WIP included, I will also need that on July 14th at the latest. If you do not have your WIP posted to ao3 yet, don’t stress, it’s not a requirement to share a link on the first masterpost.
I will make another master post on August 1st if anyone applies after July 15th. After that, sign ups are closed. If you want to participate with more than one WIP, you need to let me know before sign ups close.
September 1st is the deadline for finishing your WIP. After you finish, you can add your work to the ao3 collection. I will post a step by step guide on how to do that in the final week of the fest. It should be a part of this collection by September 1st at the latest, so I can check which works are finished. If you finish your fic or update a couple chapters before September 1st, that’s totally fine. All that matters is that the WIP is finished by September 1st.
If it turns out you can’t make the fest deadline, don’t worry. There is no shame whatsoever in dropping out. Please send me an email if you want to drop out though, so I can anticipate on it. I know a little less than 2 months is not that much time to finish longer WIP’s, but organising a fest on your own is a lot of work so the deadline had to fit into my summer holidays.
The posting schedule on Tumblr depends on how many works end up being finished, and how long those works are. I will try to make a posting schedule that works for everyone, by spreading out different lengths and pairings over the entire posting period (so no three 40k works in one day, for example). I will post a summary of that week’s fics each Sunday, and a masterpost at the very end of posting.
Each finished work will get its own post on Tumblr so people can share and hype your work. In order to make these posts, I will need a header for your fic (a header includes things like an ao3 link, author notes, word count, summary, content warnings etc). I will send a header template to all participants at the beginning of August, after closing sign ups.
I wish you all the best of luck with finishing your WIP’s! And if you still have questions, feel free to ask them by email or on Tumblr.
I’m super happy to see so many people join this fest! We have a whooping 35 participants so far.
I’m a bit behind with sending confirmation emails though, because I did not expect to get so much traffic and I am still in my exam week. So no stress if you haven’t heard anything yet!
I promise to email everyone soon, and upcoming weekends there will be an email and longer post with more details, so look out for that one!
Feeling slightly guilty about that WIP gathering dust in your Google Docs? Done with the ‘unfinished work’ tag on ao3? Just wanna have the fun of a fest without adding a whole new project to your To-Do list?
Then join the HP WIP Fest!
We run from July 15th until September 1st this summer. You can sign up through the google form linked below. There will be a master post with participants on July the 15th, so we can built exitement for our works. Sign ups end on August 1st.
Posting starts on September 1st, schedule depends on the number of participants and length of the fics. This Fest is not anonymous. It’s open for both fic and art, and there is no minimum word count.
It does not matter if you have your WIP already published, or if it’s just stitting on your computer. We hope having a deadline and fest community and exitement will help get the gems of WIP’s out there finished. This fest is open to all pairings within the Harry Potter fandom.
You can find the link to sign up here.
As this is a first time fest, please reblog this post and help spread the word!
