Calling all writers, artists, and video editors! Below are important dates, rules, and information you'll need to know if you'd like to join in with us. This fest is focused on The Tortured Poets Department — Taylor Swift's newest full-length album released on April 19, 2024.
This fest is open to ALL Harry Potter generations including Marauders, Golden Era, and Next Gen. All pairings are welcome!
We've also created a little community of participants on Discord to help with round tabling and creativity. We'd love if you joined us! This is an 18+ only fest.

Multi-chapter fics are allowed, but you must finish the first chapter of the fic by the submission deadline.
All works must be tagged appropriately! In light of the mental health topics alive and real in this album, please consider yourself, your fellow participants, and your readers when discussing any themes on mental health in your works.

Hi Kay,
Put us on ice has been the best experience to read !
It truly is a masterpiece :
- the way you write each situation is unparalleled, cinematographic almost (not in the “im reading a film script” sense, but in the “it’s like i’m watching a movie” way), i think because the time flows so nicely
- the dialogs are so so good !!! you gave the characters really interesting dynamics that shows through their endearing acting, i LOVED Remus and his mannerisms (even if he has so little screen time)
- the way you set the story to unfold just when and how Regulus makes it out with James’ help gives all the fluff an extra spark that makes it so so sweet
Thank you for bringing this story to life, i can’t wait to read more from you and I hope you have a wonderful day ✨
^live footage of me reading this message
this was so very sweet of you, i appreciate it loads. this story was so special to me and knowing that you loved so much about it makes my day. sending you sooo so much love, thank you!!<33

I know the genie is out of the bottle and you can't go back but dear GOD I hate the mainstreamification of fandom so much
I do NOT want authors or showrunners or actors to acknowledge us or talk about fanfic or fanart or fan theories! I do NOT want people asking questions of the canon creators and getting them answered (make up your own answers, like god intended!) I do NOT want companies making jokey advertisements aimed toward fandom!
I know that fandom was never entirely underground but like... I miss that fourth wall existing, you know?
