Today, we've got letters to Charlie from his siblings throughout the years created by @liiilyevans. They're filled with angst, happiness, and apprehension. Enjoy and make sure to click on the photos for better quality.

And that's a wrap! Thank you to all the lovely creators who made this Weasley Fest possible, and for creating all the amazing content we've seen over the past three weeks. It would not have been possible without you, and I am so deeply thankful that we were all able to come together and celebrate our favorite redheads! Below you will find a list of all the weeks for this fest.

Charlie & Norbert(a)

First up on the roster for Weasley Fest is this beautiful comic detailing Charlie's time with Nortberta in Romania! I think we can all agree that the lovely @the-al-chemist did an amazing job on this! I love seeing Charlie in his element!

Hello everyone!

I hope you’re all just as excited for next Saturday as I am because that is when prompting for the fest official opens. Be on the lookout for the link to the Google form to submit your prompts. Below the cut are the rules and info on the timeline. If you have any questions, Errol is happy to take them. 

General

So, this fest focuses on the Weasley family. As much as I love the extended next gen family, this fest is going to focus on the nuclear family. That is Molly and Arthur and their kids. So, make sure your prompts and fills focus on one of them.

That leads me to content. Your are more than welcome to send in whatever type of prompt you’d like. Want to see Charlie and Ginny bonding after the war? Send it in! Want to read about Bill’s time as a curse breaker? Smack that submit button! As long as your prompts revolve around the Weasleys, you’re more than welcome to send them in. Gen fics are awesome and amazing (would love to see more of them!), but you can send in prompts related to ships as well. Just make sure that your prompt is focused on a specific Weasley(s).

You are more than welcome to write about whatever you like, including smut. Please make sure it’s tagged properly. For example, if you’re exploring PTSD in your fic, then make sure to tag it tw: PTSD when submitting via tumblr or tag correctly on AO3.

That being said, submissions and prompts that include incest, non-con/rape, or depict minors having sex will not be accepted.

You are more than welcome to start a multichapter fic for this fest, but no updates to current fics will be accepted. This fest does not accept any updates to previously posted works or any kind of sequel to a previous work as a submission.

Prompts, etc. 

Prompts will be sent in via Google forms. Once the form opens, I will pin the post to the top of the blog and put the link in the sidebar of the theme for ease of access.

Prompting opens the 11th of March and ends March 25. I will be sharing them via Google sheets so everyone can see them (that will be in the pinned post as well). If you think your submission didn’t go through, please reach out to me off anon or via DM.

Claiming will open the same day that prompting ends, March 25. You can claim a prompt via a different Google form that will be posted the same day. Check the Google sheet to see what prompts have been claimed and which are still open.

Submissions are due May 13. I will be doing check ins around April 22, so be on the look out for those. If you need an extension, please reach out to me via DM.

If you’re submitting your piece via AO3, there is a collection called Weasley Fest 2023 that you can post your works to. If you’re submitting via tumblr, that’s ok too! I’ll open the submit once claiming opens and you can submit via tumblr any time.

You are more than welcome to self prompt if none of the prompts strike your fancy. Just submit your work before May 13.

You can submit art, fanfic, graphic, etc.

I will begin posting and revealing works on May 20.

Written submissions must be over 1,000 words, and there is no maximum word count.

Once you’ve finished your first submission and sent it in, you’re more than welcome to claim a second prompt.

Hello, friends!

Quick question.

Would you all be interested in seeing Weasley Fest come back this year? And would you be interested in another fest later in the summer about the next gen Weasleys?

Weasley Fest?

Yes, I’d love to see both!

Yes, I want Weasley Fest to come back, but I’m interested in the next gen.

No, I’m not interested in either.

Silence

I got another tear jerker for you folks! Come with us today as we get a sneak peek into Ron and Ginny's relationship as penned by @hinnyweasley. You're gonna needs those tissues again. I know I did.

Summary: They sat in silence for what felt to him like forever. Although, this silence was not like before. This silence was not awkward or uncomfortable, although he supposed this should be the uncomfortable part. He was no longer holding his breath, waiting for someone to say the wrong thing and set off the storm. The silence was no longer tainted with confusion and secrecy the way it was before when they were surrounded by family. He knows the storm has not yet passed, but he finds peace in the eye of the hurricane, and he hopes that Ginny does too.

Invisible String

Today we're diving into life at Gringotts in the OotP era with @liiilyevans aka me. Hope you enjoy this one!

Summary: A string of moments that lead to Bill and Fleur becoming more than coworkers. Rating: E Relationships: Bill/Fleur Characters: Bill Weasley, Fleur Delacour, Charlie Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley AO3 link

Not Just a River in Egypt

We're hopping back into the HBP era with this fic featuring Ginny and Ron by the lovely @ginisbetterthanfirewhisky. This fic features an injured Harry and, as the tags state, Ron being a good brother - something we all love to see! Enjoy!

Summary: After Ginny visits Harry in the Hospital Wing after the disastrous match against Hufflepuff in HBP, Ron comes to a realization that Ginny still has feelings for Harry. Rating: General Relationships: Harry/Ginny Characters: Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Harry Potter, Madam Pomfrey AO3 link
