• You can leave prompts directly on the prompting posts on Dreamwidth (hpkinkfest) or LiveJournal (hp-kinkfest) or you can prompt by filling out the Google Form HERE. You do not need a Google account to complete the form.
• This fest is multi-ship and any solo character or combination of characters from the Harry Potter book series, Cursed Child or Fantastic Beasts are welcome. 
• Any and all kinks are permitted for this fest. 
• Please be creative, have fun and enjoy the fest and if you see prompts you don’t like, just scroll on and find ones you do. Your kink isn’t my kink and so on. 
• If you have an idea already we advise that you don’t leave it as a prompt otherwise it will be opened up to general claiming. Simply keep an eye on this blog on 9 January for details on how to sign up if you’re writing your own prompt and in the meantime you can leave prompts for other creators if you wish.
• Prompting places you under no obligation to participate and you do not need to have left prompts in order to claim.
• The prompting template works as follows:

Kink: name the one primary kink you want showcased, e.g. orgasm denial or spanking or pony play etc. One to three pairings (or ‘any’): you can list up to three possible pairings (or solo characters or threesomes/moresomes). If you’re flexible you can leave pairings open for the claimant to choose or make a broad suggestion like ‘any femslash’ or ‘any next gen slash’ or ‘Harry Potter/any Trio Gen or older male character’ etc. Optional Prompt/Extras: this is the place for more detailed information about the kink you want to showcase. e.g. for the kink ‘size kink’ you might put ‘I’d love it if Harry is the one with the size kink’ or for the kink ‘bondage’ you might suggest options such as ‘old school ties’ Submitted By: leave your username here if you wish or keep it blank if you would prefer to prompt anonymously
