H/D Food Fair 2022 Prompting on the 5th of June!

Prompting Guide

For this year’s Fair we’d love for you to come up with prompts, write stories, create artworks and read podfics that feature:

any food of any kind – muggle or wizarding e.g. spotted dick, bouillabaisse, chocolate frogs, Japanese or Greek cuisine

any food-related occupation - e.g. baker, food taster, professional food forager

any food-related tropes - e.g. coffee shop AU, restaurant rivals, chef competition

But with an added twist! You must also include a travel element!

any food that originated outside of Britain (e.g. Indian cuisine, Sushi chef!Draco)

any setting outside of Britain (e.g. Michelin Inspector!Draco inspecting Harry’s restaurant in Budapest)

This means that your entries must feature food as the key component and travel as a secondary component!

On 5th June, the prompting submission form and display table will go live on LJ, DW, Tumblr and AO3 collection profile.

The form covers the following:

Food Theme: Include a type of food or food-related occupation/trope Travel Theme: Include a non-British food or setting outside of Britain Scenario: Give a scenario/setting/story inspiration Era: Hogwarts Era, Post-Hogwarts, EWE, Epilogue-compliant or AU, or if that is left up to the creator Optional Additions: List no more than three items/concepts/words to include in the fanwork Maximum Rating: G to NC-17, or if that is left up to the creator

Rules and Guidelines:

You may submit ONE TO FIVE prompts a day.

Please submit each prompt separately through the prompting form.

To self-prompt, please submit your prompt during prompting period and claim your own prompt later.

Anyone can submit prompts. You don’t have to be a Fair participant to be eligible for prompting.

If you’ve made a mistake in your prompt submission, you may send an email to fanfairmod@gmail.com to fix it.

Prompts will be automatically displayed (see sample at the following link).

This isn’t a gift fest; creators are not obligated to gift the work to the prompter, unless they choose to do so.

We only ask that creators are heavily inspired by the prompt; creators must not deviate from the food and travel themes listed but may adjust the prompt scenario as necessary.

A claiming form will be released later!
