CHRISTMAS
FEST
marauders' edition
Hello, Marauders fandom!
Are you a writer, artist, editor, or someone who spits out headcanons on a daily basis? If so, you’re more than welcome here!
From fanfics, to Tiktok edits, fanart, social media AUs and every other creative form of expression related to this fandom, we’re here to inspire your work!
Everyday we will have songs, prompts and sentences that you can use as inspiration for what you’re creating.
To participate, all you have to do is share an original work created based on the prompts of the Christmas Fest in a platform with the hashtags: #marauderschristmas and tagging the fest day, example: #MCDAY12; plus add your work to our ao3 collection!

RULES
Our twelve days of Christmas are for everyone to participate and be a part of, but we need to establish some rules to make sure everyone has a good time!
what NOT to do
what to do
1. Do not use Artificial Intelligence for art or writing (AI for 'fake dialogue' in videos is allowed).
Al is endagering the authenticity of artists and steals art on the internet for its own creations.
2. We want to keep this fest nice and happy (which is already hard with all the sad headcanons), but to make sure it stays a bit happy: the dead dove tag is not allowed.
3. Do NOT steal other people's work. If you want to participate you need to use your own original work, created for the fest.
1. To each their own: headcanons, ships, characterperception, be kind to one another. Be nice and supportive of the people around you: Christmas is a time of kindness and happiness and we encourage to be exactly that during those days.
2. Tag your addition to the fest accordingly. Use trigger warnings if needed and remember to add #marauderschristmas so we can find your work and add it to our masterlist!
3. If you're late on the specific day because of personal life or no inspiration; that is fine! You can still post something for day two on day six, as long as you tag!
4. All works need to be originally made for the fest. They can be part of a series (stand alone). If you want to write a multiple chaptered fic you need to start it during the fest.
