Holiday H/D comm?
I just realized that I've been on LJ way too long not to have my own community! Since I love Halloween and Christmas, and they're coming up, I thought, "Why not start a holiday-themed H/D comm?"
Right now, I'm thinking of having a few prompts per week for the month leading up to each holiday (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, Beltane (am I missing anything?)), but I'm also taking suggestions right here in this post. There wouldn't be any length requirements; anything from 100-100k words would be welcome.
*Edit: I'm leaning towards something like H/D seasons, which would include all the holidays but still have seasonal prompts throughout the year.
Let me know what you think by filling out this poll!

I don't know if I'll be able to do any fanart soon. I'd like to, but RL and time is an issue for me, but I checked it anyway, so hopefully I can follow through. :)

LOL, peacock appreciation day!
I'm so excited to get this off the ground--just need an artist to make a banner for it.

If I might ask, what did you have in mind for the banner? I think Naadi has quite a few seasonal pieces, but I'm guessing since it's HP not H/D you'd want less shippy pieces? Or are you thinking of having different pieces for each season/holiday? You could check out the tags over there to see if there are any specific pieces you're interested in. I've found artists to be very generous with their art if you ask, and it might be easier to know which pieces you're interested in and asking if you could use those than posting a general request. Just my two cents worth. Feel free to ignore. *G*

YaY! I didn't know it was going to be just H/D! That's even more awesome! :-D

Several communities already do special things at Christmas - but there are so many other holidays that need love. :D

First, how about Wizarding holidays as well as Muggle? I know there's hd_beltane and hd_holidays, valentine's veela and boysofsummer, and so on, but a Calendar of Holidays as a prompt box of sorts rather excites me. With 'rites & traditions' associated, of course. As decribed in fic, or Muggle mythos, perhaps? Personally, I'd be inspired to write for Frigga's Day or Mabon, Ides or Janus. Hmmm...
Second, how about bi-weekly prompting instead of weekly for those of us who are perpetually belated? I am calendar-challenged and I miss so many things simply because I'm bopping about doing something else (belatedly). Be lovely to have less pressure than a weekly but more pressure than an open-ended prompting.
Third, how about incorporating the concept of holiday cards? I love epistolary fic and it's always a pleasure to see fic paired with art. We could all be sending each other greeting drabbles, illustrated! Or postcards ('I've missed you, so I've penned you this smutty PWP as a fond wish for your continued happiness' kind of thing.)
All in all, sounds very exciting! Looking forward to it and will gladly pimp and participate.

As for prompts, there will be monthly prompts, submitted by anyone who wants to, and maybe daily ones prior to major holidays (like a week of trick or treat or twelve days of Christmas).
I LOVE the cards idea! The mods and I will have to discuss it and see how we can incorporate it.
