H/D hug challenge!!

[reenka]

You know what seems like a great idea right now??

A challenge (post-HBP-- preslash welcome) for short stories, something like....


    "15 Ways for Harry Potter to hug Draco Malfoy and live to tell about it"

:D :D :D :D
    The 2 criteria would be: no shmoop or sap!! I mean this to be touching or funny or a bit sad, but not... y'know, fluffy, 'cause that'd mean it'd be stupid & OOC. Also-- no pre-established relationship fics, man-- that's the whole point!
    Deadline: something like.... August 30, that's literally 4 weeks from now >:D
    And! Artists also welcome! >:D!

I don't think I could easily come up with more than one. I mean, it is seriously a lot harder to get them to hug than to shag, I think, so I'm all excited :D


I mean, c'mon!!

There's been all sorts of rough sex and licking and fighting and so on in fic, but how often have they hugged???


...Oh, I'm a genius. And yeah, I'll prolly write one anyway ;)

So tell me if you're interested and like, uh... well, come back & comment if you write it, so I'll... make a website? Or a community? Or just link to them :D

There are tons of fanon!Dracos that somehow manage to magically work for me, hehe. Though, um, I just take the 'well-written' bit kinda for granted-- as in, of course it'll be well-written if I like it at all :)) Though I've become slightly less of a stylist whore over time ^^; Slightly :>

I dunno, it's very very personal/subjective, whereas loving canon!Draco is vaguely subjective but not as much...?? I dunno :D shaggirl once told me that my & Silvia's & Trin's-type Draco isn't non-fanon, he's just an adorable witty loser (ie, we add the wit/adorableness, though I do think canon!Draco can be, too, just... uh, not nearly as much) whereas fanon!Draco is more... uh, sympathetic and 'smart' and not a loser so much as misunderstood or whatever. My favorite fanon Dracos aren't misunderstood, I think-- like, Olympia's wasn't secretly a nice sensitive calmly intellectual guy, y'know?? He was all kinds of fucked up, and that's what appealed to me, though I pretty much hated her Harry :))

Wah! *clutches you to bosom* I feel so heart-fluttery anxious about the idea of bitter!elitist!you, sort of 'cause I always sort of think of you as this delicate poetic 16-year-old who should be protected from the world 'cause you're just so precious <3 *laughs* I try to root it out in myself, but it's hard ^^;;; *is protective* -.-

Yes, I had this feeling of glee anytime you wrote positive!H/D. I felt like you were breaking out of your dark morbid shell???! I dunno. Um. *coughs*
