Stories for the fest should be posted to the Beloved Enemies mailing list, and archived at ETC by the end of the day -- you may choose the time zone to define when the day ends. ;) If you need help setting up an account, leave a reply here with you prefered username and email address, and one of the mods will set you up. Anyone with extenuating circumstances may have a week's extension, but after that, stories will not be considered part of the fest. Stories may be posted elsewhere starting May 16th. Please include this line in your header: This fic is part of the 'Beloved Enemies Harry/Lucius Fuh-Q-Fest' (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/harryxlucius). Challenges: [enter the challenges].

11:47 am - Call for Harry/Lucius FQF Challenges Yes, it's that time of year again. The Harry/Lucius FQF has returned for another round! Right now we're looking for scenarios from the list members. Challenges should be reasonably simple (i.e., no long list of arbitrary conditions). Some examples from previous waves: Voldemort is in love (or lust) with Harry. So is Lucius. What happens when the Death Eaters manage to kidnap Harry? Harry works for the ministry and is send to check out Malfoy Manor for illegal, dark arts items. How Lucius is going to discourage him from too thorough search? Harry learns that Lucius is not working for Voldemort or Dumbledore but a third group, more of a compromise of the two. What does Harry do now that he knows that Lucius is not as evil as everyone thought? How does Lucius convince the 'Boy-who-lived' to join his side? You may send your challenges: - to the list - to harryxlucius-owner@yahoogroups.com - in a reply to this announcement Rules and deadlines will be announced next week.
