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!
For more information on the Fair, please read our collection profile.

I honestly couldn’t have done it without all of you (just no more animations 😂) Thank you to the wonderful Fan Fair mods for their patience and the extension.

After founding out his profession, Harry knocking on his door for every little thing about the twins became the normality, so much that Draco had to admit that in the end he was not upset at all. In fact, he ended up spending more and more time with the little family and eventually fell in love with Harry. Art Medium: Digital Creator’s Notes: This prompt was just too cute to pass on it! When I read it I immediately think I wanted to draw the babies so I tried to make a big, nice illustration that show all the mess and cuteness the way I imagine it.
( It’s A Whole Beautiful Mess )
I don’t have a lot of followers but anything to spread the word.
i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.
i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……
southern europe is burning.
my country is burning.
people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.
yesterday my country had 300 active fires.
people are losing EVERYTHING they own.
i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.
and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish.
i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately.
but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?
again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:
An image captured by a Nasa satellite shows a thick plume of smoke blowing southward from the Greek island of Chios over the island of Crete
Torneros de Jamuz, Spain
Duca, Croatia
A helicopter from Italy’s civil protection service drops water on a fire near the railway between Venice and Trieste
Residents take refuge on the beach as a wildfire burns on the mountain next to the village of Lithi, on the Greek island of Chios
Men gather cattle during a forest fire in Vieira de Leiria, Marinha Grande, Portugal.
Charred trees are seen on the hills above the Cloister of Thivaidas on Mount Athos, a World Heritage Site in Greece
Portugal
Title: Hey Spaceman Creator: Anonymous Prompt: #342 Career Theme: Harry - Astronaut | Draco - Flight Control Rating: Teen Warnings/Content Notes: Mild language, Pining while on different planets, Getting Together, Fluff Summary: Harry is one of the worlds most well-known astrophysicists. When the UK announced they were joining the space race with their own mission to Mars, Harry knew he needed to follow his dream. He just didn’t expect to fall in love along the way. Word Count: 13,012 Creator’s Notes: Thank you so much Prolix for this amazing prompt. It was basically made for me, it was my one requirement for signing up for this fest, it had to be an astronaut prompt. I thoroughly enjoyed writing this story and watching these men fall in love before my eyes. There were many times they were ready to profess their love for each other before I was ready. I listened to The Killers a lot while writing this, specifically Spaceman and Dustland Fairytale. Finally, thank you so much to my alpha and beta, without them this story wouldn’t have gotten completed. ( Hey Spaceman )
