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

I will do it. And I will do it by August 20th or possibly sooner. Probably much sooner. Whooo, hug!fic. And hi, Reena, I missed you!

Eheheeeeeeee!! Omg, it just occurred to me that... uh... since this is a challenge(?!) I prolly need to add a deadline :)) AHAHAHAH um. oops!

HI :D

*dances* I'm even more stoked now that I'm not alone in my hugging madness >:D :D :D :D

[lovepanic.livejournal.com]

Oh oh! *flails* Can I do art of it? I mean, I could TRY writing, but I'd rather not make people suffer through that DX

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

YEAY! YOU CAN DEFINITELY DO ART!!

*adds option to post* :D :D :D
I'm... really excited now :))

Hooray!! frogslayr will be all over this. And hopefully I will be too ♥ Great idea :D Bring the love back :)

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Hee! :D My estimation of this idea just keeps growing with every comment :)) I'm suddenly all excited about post-HBP H/D, which is just... odd :> But! YEAY HUGGING >:D *is dork*

[balfrog.livejournal.com]

:D
*signs name on dotted line anyway*

! that sounds interesting!

no guarantees, of course, but if I show up on your doorstep with a fic, then you'll know why. 8D

I'll do it if you click here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kungfooqueen/125212.html?thread=532252#t532252). >:D XD

[cercaluna.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, Reena, I love you. :x

[cercaluna.livejournal.com]

P.S. You shouldn't tempt me with things like this! Also, I know it is a very long shot, but like, years ago you were coding my fics for me, and I was wondering if you possibly still had a copy of Moonlit, the Harry/James First Kiss Challenge one, anywhere? Because the site's been down for ages and I don't have a copy at all. Just curious, because you are the only person I know who might have it. More :x.

Cool idea. Define hug.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

*smirks & hopes it will be creepy but sappy* :))

[slinkhard.livejournal.com]

Very. Funny. (Not.) ;P

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

I am a wily wench who lives to tempt you!!1 :X :X! C'mon, YOU KNOW YOU WANNA :))

Also, behold (http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:0BbRODeCljgJ:glassesreflect.net/james/moonlit.html+moonlit+amalin&hl=en): the glory of google >:D

*omg, hopes desperately!!1* :D :D :D
...I'm all tingly with antici.... PATION :D

[malafede.livejournal.com]

? :) me?

though you know how i am with writing.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Sometimes you finish things, just don't make it an epic!! :))

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Okay, um... I meant... well, er, the usual--
Harry, er, embracing Draco (tightly? slightly? awkwardly? unwillingly?? pulling him towards him with a single arm? clinging onto him??) in sympathy or pity or affection or resignation or a promise or an admission or a plea for forgiveness or sadness.... Pretty much nearly anything would work, as long as it's not a casual post-coital spooning type thing or a hug that's just people cling onto each other sexually post-kiss or something ^^;;

Whatcha say? :>

[marplish.livejournal.com]

like, Draco and Harry stuck in a cave somewhere, Harry has a broken leg, and and Draco's crushed under a boulder, and they're starving, and so they decide to cut off Harry's broken leg and eat it, then the strength of Harry's leg meal gives them the strength to roll off the boulder, and Harry has to "hug" Draco and they limp out of there in a three legged walk, sort of creepy and sappy?

:D

[balfrog.livejournal.com]

This was my RL boring journal face. sorry.
:D

[balfrog.livejournal.com]

what about the AU Roman empire Draco and Harry are Snape's bitches fic? *points down there*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

Hehe, well my basic question was if it could be a non-hug-hug, the second definition you sent me. Physical hug, but not sympathy or pity or affection or resignation or promise or admission or plea or sadness, coz you said you wanted it IC XD
