favourite fests!

Wow these snowflake challenges really sneak up on you don't they??

Challenge #3 for the snowflake challenge is to list your favourite fests/communites.

Since I'm new to dreamwidth, I think I'll stick to fests for now. So I'm going to give a quick rundown of my faves (and why). These are listed in no particular order.

• Femmefest - A Harry Potter Femslash exchange fest!! what more is there to say? I participated in this in 2019, and even though my recipient ended up dropping, I had a lovely time with the whole fest. I'm trying to limit my fest participation this year, but I am stlll going to sign up for Femmefest
• HP WLW Big Bang -  a big bang born from the love of femslash, and the desire for more long!fics that showcase it! This was my very first Big Bang and is my longest (by quite a bit) fic. The fest gave us the wonderful gift of fics and art, and I am so grateful for it!
• HP Femslash Minifest - this might seem a bit biased, as I am a mod for this fest, but I was a fan and participant before I was a mod (and that's why! I signed up as a mod). I love that this fest encourages HP femslash creations. It's such a low key fun fest, and I aim to get back to creating for it again this year.
• H/D Erised - this fest is just such a gift to the Drarry fandom. It gave me one of my favourite drarry fics of all time (Azoth) and it's just like.. the defining fest of Drarry I feel. It is such a gift to the Drarry fandom in general
• My Bloody Valentine - run via the HP Dark Arts tumblr. This fest is just... it gives such an opportunity for a unique type of fic. Dark fics are not always the most popular, but this is just such a unique and kind of fun fest... it's not for everyone, but I think that's part of why I like it so much. I wrote a fic for it in 2019, and it's one of my favourite fics still.
• Tomlinshaw Fic Exchange - this is a little fest, but it's such a gift for the tiny ship of tomlinshaw. I took part in 2018 as a pinch hitter, and 2019 as a full participant. It's given us so many wonderful fic gifts.

Well that's enough from me I think. It's obviously quite hp and femslash centric, but I'm okay with that.

I can't wait to read everyone else's fests and communities they recommend
