Each prompt can be claimed only twice.

Fics must be at least 1,000 words long, spell checked, and beta read. Artwork should be more than a quick and dirty sketch.

Taking part in an exchange means that you'll be creating a gift for someone, according to their wishes, and that someone will create a gift just for you.

Please, don't sign up for the exchange if you're not sure whether you'll be able to fulfil your obligation on time. You can always try your hand at one of our prompts in ficathon.

People who dropped out from the exchange last year cannot participate this year. People who will drop out from the exchange this year, will be banned from participating next year.

Riddle Fest will be split into exchange and ficathon. In ficathon you choose from the list of prompts and draw/write your work based on it. To have something to choose from first you have to leave some suggestions. If you don't draw/write but you'd like to see your ideas made flesh, this is your chance, though we cannot guarantee that your prompt will be picked.

How to proceed?

1. Read ( the list of prompts ) and if you think that you have an idea that wasn't suggested yet...
2. ...comment here with your prompt.

Your suggestion must be meant for Tom Marvolo Riddle/Lord Voldemort as a main character. You can suggest whether you'd like it to be an art or fic; gen, het or slash; what characters could/should appear there; scenarios; ratings; etc. You can be as vague or specific as you like. You can suggest as many prompts as you like.

Suggesting the prompts doesn't mean that you have to draw/write something.

This is not the post where you sign-up for either part of the fest.

Table light - if you have problems with viewing it in normal mode

The fest will consist of two parts: anonymous art/fic exchange and prompt-based ficathon.

Call for prompts: 06 - 12 July
Sign-ups: 13 - 19 July
Assignments out: 22 July
Submission Deadline: 22 September
