There are 30 prompts based around the number 3 in the Ao3 collection to inspire you to write a drabble of either 300, 600 or 900 words. The collection opens on 3rd May and closes on 30th June. Drabbles must be HP based and any ships are welcome except from the four popular pairings (Dramione, Drarry, Snarry and Wolfstar).

Introduction

It is an unfortunate truth that bar a few exceptions, a lot of fanfic seems to disregard sapphic, or femslash, relationships. So we thought that right alongside our mission to sprout some more pairings, we should also propagate some more sapphic pairings (or triads, or polycules!) The focus of your fic should be on a sapphic relationship. This means that while you’re free to write for instance bisexual characters, or a character discovering their attraction to women, the focus should be either on that exploration or a relationship between two women or woman-aligned people. There are 71 prompts for you to choose from, each featuring a character. That character does not need to be the main character or part of whatever ships you end up writing, but should feature heavily in some way.

Important Dates:

Sign Ups Open: Now! Sign Ups Close: 24th March 2025 Fics Due: 31st March 2025 Fics Revealed: 2nd April 2025

A New Pair Resolution!

Happy New Pear - New Pair Resolution | Archive of Our Own

Let's kick off 2025 with a rare pair event! The prompts are simple; write a new pair you've never written before. Our only ask is that it is a rare pair per HP PEAR guidelines (that means no Draco/Hermione, Draco/Harry, Snape/Harry, or Sirius/Remus).

Want to explore the Marauders era with a favorite canon pairing? Go for it! Maybe you like a challenge and feel like the founders era is more your lane. Or, take some of our Lightning Gen favorites and stick two characters together who would have never been together in canon (which is the best part of fandom, right?)

You must be a member of the HP PEAR Discord in order to participate. If you need an invite, please ask! We are happy to accept new members.

Works must be submitted by 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time on January 31st, 2025.

Works will be revealed on February 2, 2025.

Orchard of Eras September

Every two months HP PEAR is going to host this event! Simply ask for an Admin to roll a prompt for you in the discord and then get to writing! All fics will be posted in a collection on A03 The Categories Are: 1. Era - Founders, Fantastic Beasts, Marauders, Golden Trio, or Next Gen. 2. A Character from your Era And if you chose to add a Chaos Roll, one of the following- 3. Ghost, a Trope, a Non-Human Character, a Location, a Word, a second Character (for a rare pair!), a Song, a Colour, a Situational Prompt, or a Movie. Your task is then to write at least 100 words (enough for a drabble) for that character - in a ship or not There is no maximum word count and WIPs are allowed.

Request your dice roll in the HP PEAR discord!
