The POC!Potter Week returns May 23-June 3 brought to you by @emmelinevvance and @swearwolflupin!
What this is: We noticed the lack of diversity in Harry Potter fancasts which led us to create POC!PotterWeek in an attempt to promote the creation of edits that are inclusive and feature people of color (POC) in the fandom. The week was so successful in March that we’re doing it again! We’re incredibly excited to see what you all create this time around. This month we will also be working with @pctter in celebration of her reaching 8k followers so stay tuned for more details!
Reblog this post if you’re participating, and send us an ask so we can add you to the page!
In the ask, give us your name + a one to two line description of yourself or a short quote you like.
If you participated last time, you’ll still be featured in both participants sections.
If you’re not participating, tagging it as signal boost would be helpful. That way we’ll know who’s who.
Tag us in your creations in the first five tags (We’ll be tracking #pocpotterweek)
Make sure it includes some mention of a character as a person of color, unless they’re canon poc!
For types of creations: be sure to send your questions our way or check out our FAQ if you’re not positive about anything!!
Fanart/Gifsets/Edits/Aesthetics: The fancast should be POC! Mixed race and white-passing counts, if anyone was wondering, and so do Jewish fancasts!
Fanfic: Make sure to describe their appearance or have them do something that makes it clear they’re poc: (for example, have the character use a second language, have them study a language for their culture, etc.)
Playlists: The fancast in the cover should be POC or a song should be in a different language/talk about being POC!
We’ll reblog your posts!! We’ll tag them with your url and the type of creation.
Even if you don’t participate, follow us to see everyone’s amazing creations!
Tuesday - Wizarding Schools
Wednesday - Minor Characters
After discussing what we have to do to be prepared for the week, we have decided that we need a bit more time to make this the best it can be. Therefore, the start date has been pushed back one week. The week will now take place May 28 - June 3.
Those who have already sent messages saying you will participate, we apologize for the inconvenience and will be reaching out to you to see if you would still like to create something.
If people could please signal boost this new information that would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to message us with any questions.
