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

Man, I could not really read Origins, it is awful, I know! I think I read it, actually, but I couldn't get into it, so I only remember it vaguely. Actually, it was around the same time I read The Losing Side, and I can't separate the two. I have no idea which is which. :"> But IP <3! And the Intellislashers! Fics I still worship! Rhoddlet is sort of around, I guess? She wrote AU!Remus awhile back that killed me.

Hahaha. But I hate weepy Draco! I mean, weepy all the time! To me he was crying more out of frustration and panic anyway, and not like, omg life so hard, let me slit my wrists now. :(( (Which is clearly how my Draco used to cry. And then he would go sleep with flowers, or something. In the moonlight. Thinking about dead!Harry.)

It is the best challenge ever. :)))))

...I just... have to say I'm overwhelmed with love for possibly highly disturbed and necrophiliac!Draco. Crying as his blood poured over the poppies and his milk-white skin, though the heavens washed his pain away, etcetc.
...Er, but yeah, I agree he wasn't crying out of Angest & Woe... much as that would amuse me :))

Origins had sensitive!Draco too! Actually, so did the Losing Side... and so did most fics back then. Oh man. JKR clearly loves us ;))


Rhoddlet is writing SW:TPM now :-? I am also reading it. Man, I'd have totally switched fandoms by now if I could -write- anything else ^^;;

Haha, you are right, most fics were about misunderstood, hidden depths Draco. I think we've evolved in our view of Draco since then. But there is really nothing like how things were back in the beginning! Wah.

I just dabble in random fandoms. And after this fic, am trying to, like, back away! But. People like you make it hard. :))
