You're Invited to The HP Rare Pairs Game Night
For the next two weeks, Apricity brings to you an awesome flash comp centred around Game Night! They said:
Perhaps the days are growing darker. Perhaps you feel a sense of dread creeping in. Perhaps you find yourself wishing for a chill, comfy party before "The Holidays." Or perhaps you just love a good time:
It's time for a community game night! Pick your favorite game and write a flash fic to bring to our party!
What is a flash comp, you ask?
A host (a volunteered member of the hp rare pairs discord server) picks a theme, and members write for that theme (for the fun, and also a chance to win an award -- usually with a pretty graphic to take home!).
Read works from previous comps on AO3 (there are 16 collections and 194 lovely rare pair fics to dive into!!).
