mini_fest reveals are up! (All reveals are up, actually, but I am just slow in getting to them :P)

Anyway, I managed to produce two stories for them this year.

Dinner and Dessert is Scorpius/Rose, and shows them getting freaky at Malfoy Manor. If Draco knew he'd be scandalized. Pretty sure Astoria knows, though. ;)

The Rescue is Severus/Harry (had to slip my OTP in there), and is all about two lonely men coming together at the holidays, with a little Slytherin assistance. *g*

I am super behind in reading everywhere there, so I haven't yet caught up yet, but I am encouraging you to go check out the offerings. There are always gems. <3

I have no idea if fireworks are actually a part of the holiday celebrations on Oxford Street, but let’s pretend they are for the purposes of this story, yes? :)

So I have fics in a couple of fests that are still anonymous, and in an effort to stimulate my muse, I'm offering a drabble/ficlet (whatever I'm inspired to write) to anyone who successfully guesses which holiday stories I may have written.

As usual, my beta readers/pre-readers, and anyone who knows which fics are mine (like mods), are disqualified. :P

The relevant fests are:
hd_erised (anonymous masterlist here)
mini_fest (anonymous masterlist here)
and daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas (Wrap Up Post here)

This offer will remain open until January 7th (when the Minifest reveals go up).

The comments on this post are screened, so give me your best guesses and good luck! :)

Word Count/Art Medium: ~2300
Rating: PG-13
Contains (Highlight to view): * A wee bit of snogging and banter.*
Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Notes: Written for the 2013 round of mini_fest in response to a prompt from lilyseyes.
Thanks, as always, to sevfan and emynn for beta-reading, and to the mods for allowing me the opportunity to once again participate in this lovely fest.
Summary: Despite being warned by Harry that his home would be a madhouse on Christmas eve, Severus decides to brave it anyway.

( Observing the Festivities )

So this will be the last call for guessing which holiday fest fics I may have written. The last of the anonymous masterlists have now been posted, daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas' is here and Snarry Swap's is here.
The other fests I participated in were hd_erised (anon masterlist is here) and mini_fest (anon masterlist is here).

The reason it would prolly be good to go ahead and guess in one of my guessing posts (here on LJ/IJ/DW) is that I will generally write you a drabble/ficlet you even if you guess wrong, so, as they used to say on my old college tests, there's no penalty for guessing. *g*

And remember, comments are screened in the guessing posts but not here. Don't guess here!

Have fun!

...and since I'm in a few fests this year, I've decided to revive my old habit of offering drabbles/ficlets for those who guess which fics I wrote.
Of course, if you know which fics are mine (because you're a mod, or you pre-read for me, or because I asked your advice) then you are not eligible. :P

First, I've two entries in mini_fest which may or may not have posted.

Also, I've two entries in snape_potter's Secret Snarry Swap which may or may not have posted.

In addition, I've one entry in daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas which may or may not have posted.

And finally I've one entry in hd_erised which may or may not have posted.

Okay, go out and read and see if you can spot me. :)
