FAQs

🌶️What is a Canon Compliant Couple? For the purposes of this fest, any couple that does not break-up couples featured as together at the end of the 7 Harry Potter books counts as canon. So ships such as Deamus & Hannah x Neville are more than welcome!

🌶️How should I submit? The AO3 Collection is OPEN and fics can be submitted here.

🌶️How long will the fest run for? That depends on how many fics we get! Once all fics have been submitted, we will create a plan for posting and let authors know what their post date will be.

🌶️I have another question! Not a problem! Feel free to ask us on Tumblr or you can come and join us over on Discord!

And for the most important part...The Tropes 👀

Ever wanted to mix fanfiction with statistical analysis? Of course not, but I did it anyway.

I recently found out that if you put "otp: true" into the "search within results" box on AO3, it returns only fics with one ship tagged.

I thought this could be fun to see which ships are included in fics, but usually aren't given the sole focus, and are likely just background material.

Here's every canon pairing from the Harry Potter franchise (fanon opens up a whole new can of worms) ranked from the ship with the highest percentage of tagged fics being "otp: true" fics, to the ship with the lowest.

#1 Grindlelore (Dumbledore/Grindlewald): 2138 "otp: true" fics out of 3248 total fics — 66.13% - the LEAST "background" canon ship. Fics with this ship tend to not be tagged with any others.

#2 Hagrid/Madame Maxime: 27 "otp: true"/53 total — 50.94%

#3 Bellamort (Bellatrix/Voldemort): 297/756 — 39.29%

#4 Remadora (Lupin/Tonks): 1032/3158 — 32.68%

#5 Krumione (Hermione/Krum): 288/887 — 32.47%

#6 Tedoire (Teddy/Victoire): 280/887 — 31.57%

#7 Jily (James/Lily): 3976/15528 — 25.61%

Welcome to Greenhouse Seven!

(The Room of Requirement and the broom cupboard were already occupied)

This is a space to discuss and celebrate HP canon-compliant couples in both canon and AU situations.

We will run events and fests to celebrate and highlight these couples and will have an announcement soon about our first fest!

In the meantime, come join us over on discord for discussions and fun (and to see if we can find where Professor Sprout hides her private stash).
