The Remus/Sirius Games

Hello, friends! Just returning briefly from beyond the grave to say that I believe most if not all of the Remus/Sirius Games archive can be found on Dreamwidth. I honestly cannot remember if we finished tracking down all the artwork, but the fic at least should be safe if news of LiveJournal's demise is true.

In honor of one of the greatest traditions of the Harry Potter fandom, we are so excited to announce the 2023 Remus/Sirius Big Bang! 

The R/S Big Bang aims to connect writers and artists in order to produce illustrated fanfiction for the Remus/Sirius pairing. We hope to encourage a spirit of collaboration that gives writers and artists the space and support they need to create truly fantastic fanworks. 

Fandom revolves around its community. We aim to run the kind of fest where all members of our Remus/Sirius community feel welcome. All tropes, genres, headcanons, heights, and dynamics are encouraged here. We hope our fest participants walk away from this experience with a full reading list and new fandom friends.

We look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

Your mods,

@maybebabyplease @mblematic @pancakehouse @colgatebluemintygel

Fest Overview (below)

To celebrate the love for Jewish Sirius and/or Remus we are hosting a Wolfstar mini-fest for the week of Hanukkah ✨

Prompts and posting will run from December 18th - 26th

Super super simple to participate. Each of the eight days will have a Hanukkah-themed prompt. You can submit fic or art each day for the prompt, for as many or few days as you want. We’ll have an AO3 collection for you to post to, and we’ll reblog everything here too!

Hi Fandom! I’m super nervous to be doing this here, too, because it’s my very first time, but Fandom at Tumblr is an amazing, lovely place and I’ve felt so welcomed that I figured I could just shake up my shyness and invite you to be part of a Harry Potter Seasonal Comment-a-thon! Using @writcraft‘s Comment-A-Thon format – with permission! – I thought it’d be fun to go run one of these and comment for your House of choice. :D I think we all agree comments are an important part of our community. It brings us together, it encourages artists and writers to keep creating, often a comment is the beginning of an amazing friendship that transcends time and space. In many ways, comments is how we connect to each other, and this season, as any other time of the year, is important to remember that and celebrate that. So I present you:   HARRY POTTER SEASONAL COMMENT-A-THON!

TIMELINE HOW TO PLAY Some December Posting Fests I’ll be running this also at my DW and LJ, and you’re more than welcome to sign up there with an open ID. BUT you can do it just as easily here at Tumblr. Simply fill out this form: Username: Number of comments I plan to leave: House affiliation: I’m following: [the fests you’re following at the moment] Anything else? [gif spam, squee, cheerleading etc.] Grab a banner of the house of your choice:

and post it to your blog with the hashtag: #HP Seasonal Comment-a-thon  

Hello! We are researchers at the University of Washington Human Centered Data Science Lab, where we study fandom and fanfiction communities in order to better understand how people interact and engage with others in online environments. We’ve built a survey, and we’d love you all to participate!

Fanfiction Survey Link!

We’re looking for both readers and writers!

All parts of this survey were approved by the University of Washington Human Subjects Division Institutional Review Board (IRB) to ensure the protection of your rights and welfare as you take this survey.    

Anyone 13 years old or above can participate. You may stop participating in the survey at any time. Your responses will be kept confidential, although we will publish aggregated results. Also, we’ll ask if you are interested in a follow-up interview. 

This survey will ask you about your participation in fanfiction communities. You will also be asked some basic demographic questions at the end of the survey. The survey contains 11 to 13 questions in total depending on your answers. You are not required to answer every question.

For questions about our research, send us an ask or contact Ruby Davis at [email protected].

We are currently in the process of handing off everyone’s Games works to them on AO3.

If you don’t get yours in the next hour or so, or something looks wonky or gets credited to the wrong person, please contact us ASAP, and we will get it sorted out. We were able to track down AO3 accounts for most of our participants, but not for everyone.

Once you have received your work, it belongs to you! You are free to edit, retag, and delete headers as you choose. We do hope, though, that you will keep your work in the R/S Games 2017 collection, to make it easy for people to find.

For participants without an AO3 account, we will post the creator’s DreamWidth name and link in the summary. If there is a different name/link you would like us to use instead, please let us know! (This goes for any remaining works from last year’s Games as well.)

And the winner is….

Now with revealed authors and artists! All DreamWidth usernames are linked, as well as AO3 and tumblr, where available.
