👠 Sign-Ups & Claiming

You must complete the Google Form (link provided when sign-ups open) for your sign-up as well as claim your choice of prompt on the AO3 collection.

You may only claim one prompt at a time. If you finish your prompt, you may claim an additional prompt, but you must submit your first prompt as per submission guidelines.

One song prompt can be claimed by multiple people (it's not first come, first serve). You can use a song in any way you like for inspiration — title, lyrics, vibes… You do not need to title your work after the song or use lyrics in any way if you don’t want to.

Collaborations are welcome! Collabs can be illustrated fics, multi-writer fics, multi-artist artworks, etc.

🎙️ Creating

All pairings from any fandom are welcome (You do not need to create for the HP fandom in order to participate, however all eras and ships from the HP fandom are welcome)

This fest is NOT anonymous. Feel free to openly talk about your prompt, but we'd love if you kept some details secret so we can have fun with the reveals!

There is a minimum word count of 1,000 words for all submitted fics. For podfics, the recorded story should be a minimum of 1,000 words. There is no maximum for either fics or podfics.

Multi-chapter fics are allowed, but you must finish the first chapter of the fic by the submission deadline.

All works must be created for the TS12 Fest. Please do not submit works that are part of a series or a prequel/sequel to an existing work, unless it is a remix.

All works must be tagged appropriately! As always, please consider yourself, your fellow participants, and your readers when discussing any sensitive themes or topics in your works. This includes Dead Dove: Do Not Eat content — these works are allowed, but please ensure your creations are tagged mindfully.

👑 Posting

Posting will begin on December 12, 2025, and the schedule will not be publicly released.

Note: this fest and its mods reject the hateful rhetoric and views of JKR. We will be sharing trans resources both here and in the Discord server. If you have any recommendations for resources we can share, please don't hesitate to send links via our ask box 🏳️‍⚧️

James: I wake up at 5 a.m.

Regulus: …

Remus is lost, going in circles, afraid of what he'll find if he keeps staring at his reflection; the lies and platitudes stripped away by Fabian. The real question is: is he brave enough to make his way home?

But he forces himself to move on and covers the very clear leo constellation and RAB on his shoulder as much as he can.

They don't talk again so regulus doesn't see his until his 18th birthday, while he's in the cave, seconds from dying, and an antler with James' initials on his right arm, perfectly paralleling the dark mark
