As with all our campaigns, writers must be members of the Discord server. Click here for an invitation if you haven’t joined us already.

Hey Marauders! 

Give us a Taste! In 50 words or less tell us what your fic is about! Some call it an elevator pitch but essentially- give us a brief summary that will have your readers BEGGING for an update.

I am doing my best to participate in little fests and this one has really consumed me!!

A prequel to Mongrel Minds. Not friends yet, Remus gives Sirius a mix CD and he has to find a way to play it. Enter James—with an idea and his mother's shite van they have a heart to heart in not quite a Tesco parking lot.

(46 words not bad 👀)
