The Potterverse Gift Exchange is a yearly thing, and it is done to end the year with something nice and fun to be look forward to.
We welcome everyone from the fandom, if you are thinking of participating please reblog to spread the word with the tag: #PotterverseGiftExchange2025
Time frames:
Nov 19th to Nov 30th: Sign ups.
Dec 1st & 2nd: Prompts are being sent.
Dec 2nd to 29th: Creating time.
Dec 29th: Posting.
You can sign up here.
*Please read the FAQ and rules under the cut before signing up.
RULES
No work generated with AI.
You must tag properly, the tags are to archive and find the right side of fandom, not to reach any algorithm.
This is a fun event, for everyone involved. No hate will be tolerated.
Respect each other. This is a hard rule, if you start bashing anyone for their preferences you will be taken out from the list. It is important to know that we have differences but that doesnāt mean we need to spread hate around our fun groups.
Ship and let ship. There is a space for everyone, and we will try to make it so, even if we all agree to disagree.
Communicate. If you have any issues whatsoever with the timeframes, the prompts, etc, please communicate. We want everyone to have a gift by the end of the year. If you can not make it, or need more time, or whatever it is, we will understand, we have backup creators in case something happens.
All creations should be posted by December 29th. Extensions can be granted if informed.
Most important of all: HAVE FUN!!!
Other things:
Only the non sensitive information will be shared: Preferred name, public social media, and prompts. Everything else is just for me to communicate with everyone until the works are submitted. After I delete all everything for privacy reasons and only the works remain.
Main collection is on AO3, but if you want to submit in other platforms you can, just donāt post before the 29th so everyone gets surprised the same date.
Who can participate?
Everyone from the Potterverse fandom. Because it keeps growing.
Can I participate if Iām under 18?
Yes, this year we have a new section that separates mature prompts so no mature content will be created by or gifted to minors.
Can I share this event outside of Tumblr?
Yes. As long as you post the gift to the recipient and we can link to it, anyone can participate. Tumblr is just where this started so this is where we start to spread the word, but the link will be posted to other platforms and discord servers.
Can you participate if you don't do fics but other media?
Of course! You just need to send a link of the gift.
I want to be involved but I don't have the time?
Reblog to spread the word! And comment on the works once they are posted! New works and fun for everyone!
We're back for Year Two of PadfootFest, the Sirius Black-centric fan celebration you know and love! Whether you're here for the angst, the fluff, the dog jokes, or the rebellious chaosāthis fest is for you.
All the info you need for the moment can be found on the banner below. Stay tuned for prompting, sign-ups and more mischief.
This year's banner was made by wonderful @sorenphelps

Summary: Lyall flashes a quick smile, before making a shooing motion with his hands. āGo on, now. Iām sure Re would love to see you. Make him eat a little, yeah?ā
āWill do,ā he tries to smile at Lyall, but he thinks it ends up as more of a grimace.
āDonāt look so glum, lad,ā Lyall says, tipping Siriusās chin up with a bent index finger. āRemus is stronger than he looks, heāll be alright.ā
āI know,ā Sirius replies eventually, and this time manages a genuine smile. āI just worry, ās all.ā

Summary: Many thanks to MidnightStargazer for the prompt: The last time Sirius saw Andromeda before she eloped with Ted, and how he reacted when she was disowned. I'd written this from the Black Sisters perspective in a long fic, and it was really interesting to consider it from Sirius's POV. Hope you enjoy.

Word Count: 3,996
Summary: Sirius deals with the fallout of a Marauders revenge prank on a pro-Death Eater student, who just so happens to be his brother.
Summary: To not have to marry a woman his parents wanted, a woman he didnāt love and never would, Sirius packed his bags and left home. He was homeless for a few weeks and kipped on couches of friends who were kind enough to let him stay. But he didnāt want to live like this ā penniless, without prospects and things to look forward to in life. He became a priest, because church was the only place where his parents would never set a foot in, let alone come looking for him. He was great at it, the church ministry suting him greatly. Until a new priest came to their parish and it all came crashing down, backfiring straight on his face.
