Mischief & Mixtapes Vol.2: Live & Unlabeled 

Welcome back to another Music Festival campaign!

This Campaign runs through the month of August where we gamify the writing process. Our goal is to motivate our writers to work on any project they have at the moment. This will focus primarily on writing, editing, and outlining. So if you need a little extra motivation to get your fest piece over the finish line…now might be the time to sign-up and give us a try! 

As with all our campaigns, writers must be members of the Discord server. Click here for an invitation if you haven’t joined us already.

To sign-up, take a look at the M&M: Live & Unlabeled Vol.2 Official Rules.

Some key deadlines for you all to consider…

Mischief & Mixtapes Fest is live and prompts are open for claiming!  We have 30 song prompts from 26 artists; each are able to be claimed twice. Before claiming, please review the fest rules that can be found here. Feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns. 

The best way to contact us is to join our Discord (wink wink nudge nudge). Over there, we’ll be chatting with all our writers and helping you stay inspired and motivated to finish your piece. You can find that invite link at the end of the fest rules (aren’t we link happy, today?!)

After a month of holiday tunes ruining everyone’s algorithm, ample use of ribbons, and sexy Santa costumes, the time has come (and so have the pairings)! Our Yuletide (After Dark) fest works are officially revealed on ao3. 

Keep the holiday spirit alive for a few more days and snuggle up with a peppermint mocha to enjoy some very naughty witches and wizards…read them here! 

We’ll be spotlighting each of our fics here on our socials so feel free to share your favorite and give the author some love. 

Welcome back, Adventurers!

In the last chapter, 11 year old Remus Lupin began his education at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Nervous to try something new and surrounded by children just like him, Remus had a keen eye for the skies.

During our poll last week we were happy to say that not a single person guessed it! That’s too bad. Next month we’ll be following none other than Professor Minerva McGonagall. 

Ambition strikes and McGonagall is determined to make some changes at Hogwarts! Join as she uses her well gained experience to reshape Hogwarts. The changes she can make will impact generations to come.
