In honour of Draco’s Birthday, and also because we all NEED more bottom!Draco in our lives, bottom_draco is hosting its very first Mini Fest!

This is a low stress fest that starts on June 1st and will run through June 12th.

Promoting banners and more info coming soon. Stay tuned!

The mods have recently set up a set of Bottom!Draco fest collections at archiveofourown.org (AO3). We would like to invite authors from previous bottom_draco fests to add their fics to these collections.

---

If your fic is already on AO3 and you want it included in the collection, here's what to do:

Below we have listed all bottom_draco fest fics that we were able to find already on AO3. To add your fic to the collection, just click on the link in the list below to take you to your fic at AO3, choose "edit", scroll down to where it says "Post to Collections/Challenges" and type in either

• bottom_draco_2009 - (Fairy Tale Fest)


• bottom_draco_2010 - (Time Fest)


• bottom_draco_2013 - (Adaptations Fest)

as appropriate. Then save/post the fic again. That's it. We will get a notice that you want to add the fic to the collection, and we will then approve it on our end. Voila :)

**Note: AO3 will try to auto-complete your collection choice for you and will probably get it wrong. It might not even be able to find the 2013 fest in the drop-down menu, but it IS there. Just copy/paste in the collection name exactly as above and it should work.**
(It will change "bottom_draco_2013" to "Bottom!Draco 2013: Adaptations" etc., but that's fine.)

If you haven't yet uploaded your fic(s) to AO3 but already have an AO3 username:

Feel free to upload your fest fic(s) to AO3 and add them to the collection in the same way as above. We would love to have more bottom!Draco fics available on AO3.

If you don't yet have an AO3 username:

There's no time like the present to get yourself an AO3 account. If you need any help, let us know!

Hello everyone :)

The mods of this community would like to bring to light that Maya/Mistful have requested for her fics (copies of her fics) NOT to be shared/distributed anywhere online. Maya/Mistful is a published writer, and as such her previous fics should not be shared/distributed - and most definitely NOT in this community. I'm afraid, we would have to insist on this not-sharing Maya/Mistful's fics matter.

Any post requesting and/or offers to distribute Maya/Mistful's fics in this community will be deleted. So please do not post anything of this nature here.

Some of Maya/Mistful's fics that are popularly requested in this community - something which you are no longer allowed to request for, and/or share/distribute them:

1. Drop Dead Gorgeous (and its prequel The Way We Get By)
2. If You've a Ready Mind
3. Underwater Light
4. Quality of Mercy
5. Your Every Wish
6. Dancing Queen
7. Dark Side of the Light
8. Anything at all by Maya/Mistful

Should you come across a post requesting and/or sharing Maya/Mistful's fics here, please let the mods know and we will delete it.

Thank you.

Fest info:

What does 'adaptation' mean? There are several definitions of what "adaptation" mean, but for this fest, we only need one:

Adaptation (noun) - ad·ap·ta·tion [ad-uhp-tey-shuhn]
- Something that is produced by adapting something else (creative work) - A movie, television drama, or stage play that has been adapted from a written work, typically a novel.

Or in this case: Adapting a movie, book, stage play, etc into fanfiction/art!!!

That said, feel free to adapt any:
Movie/TV series/stage play/cartoon/book/comic/fairytale/myth/musical...

And if you're really, really, really creative: Songs and music videos even!

The point is to adapt your favorite storyline(s) from any of the creative works mentioned above into Bottom!Draco context.


Alrighty, feeling the Bottom!Draco love yet? Excited for the fest? Come on! Join us! Save the fest schedule in your calander, get your prompts ready, raise your glass of Firewhisky and say it with me: BOTTOMS UP!!. Oops, pun unintended. Really. *attempts to look innocent*

More details and fest guidelines to be posted later... so, stay tuned!
