FIC

We Might Be Too Old for a Bildungsroman - Harry/Draco - PG-13 - 21K

Summary - Harry finds something he’s been looking for since the war’s end. Admittedly, the packaging’s a bit odder than he expected.

Transformation - Size
Summary - An explosion in the Potions classroom sets off a chain of unlikely events.

Falling Short - Harry/Draco, Harry/Terry, Justin/Draco - PG-13 - 8K

Transformation - Ferret
Summary - It started with a picture and it ends with a kiss.

Full Circle - Harry/Draco - NC-17 - 14K

Summary - It seems Harry has come full circle when his rather complacent life is interrupted by one Draco Malfoy. With wings.

Remember - COMMENTS ARE LOVE - Give some love to our participating authors and artists!

We've had an amazing first week here at the Transformations Fest! We won't have a post today, so enjoy this chance to catch up on anything you may have missed. We'll resume on Saturday.

Huge thanks to everyone who has participated so far, be it reading, arting, commenting, or reccing!

FIC

My Life As A Butterfly - Harry/Draco - NC-17 - 22K
Transformation - Animagus
Summary - At the age of seventeen, Harry finds himself falling in love with a detached Draco Malfoy. Through a series of unfortunate miscommunications and gossip, he had a bad falling out (of love), too. Now, years later, can Harry make amends about a misunderstanding? Would Draco forgive him?

Odd Bunny - Harry/Draco - PG-13 - 5.6K
Transformation - Animagus
Summary - When Malfoy gets stuck, mid-transformation, as a partial bunny with ears and tail, Harry becomes obsessed with his partner's tail.

Everybody Wants Some - Harry/Draco - NC-17 - 6.7K
Transformation - Personal
Summary - Harry comes back to finish his Eighth year at Hogwarts and it seems like the summer after the war has worked miracles on him. He's totally hot, muscular, and sexy - basically every gay boy's (and girl's) dream. Apparently Draco's body agrees, and all he can think every time he sees Potter is how badly he wants some of him.

The Painted Malfoy - Harry/Draco - NC-17 - 4K
Transformation - Portrait
Summary - Harry wakes one night to a voice he hasn’t heard in years. Finding Malfoy in one of his portraits was a shock; even more shocking was when Malfoy refused to leave.

The Curious Case of Draco Malfoy: the (Fake) Dragon - Harry/Draco - PG - 4K
Transformation - Magical Creature
Summary - When he came to the Wizarding World for the first time, others had to teach him how to be a Wizard. Now, it was his turn to teach someone how to be a human.

Jackpot - Harry/Draco - PG - 3K
Transformation - Veela
Summary - Harry is a healer at St Mungo’s and Draco has become his friend over the years. Draco ends up in hospital one day and Harry finds out that he’s a veela, though that does not explain why Draco is unconscious and not responding to anything.


ART

Face Off - Harry/Draco - PG
Transformation - Personal
Summary - Potter must have used some kind of enhancing potion to make himself as fit as he is now... He must have. There's no way Potter is taller and wider on the shoulder than Draco. The last time they saw each other Potter was almost one head shorter than him, for Merlin's sake!--

"Malfoy? Are we going to kiss, or not?" Fuck. Potter's face is so close now that when Draco looks up, he can see the mix of colours in Potter's eyes, and see how ridiculously handsome he is. Potter has this little smile on his face that makes him even more handsome, yet it infuriates Draco so damn much because it just looks smug in Draco's eyes.

"Yes. Yes, damn you, Potter." And then Draco closed his eyes.

Tiny Malfoy - Harry/Draco - G
Transformation - Pixie
Summary - Draco is reduced to the size of a pixie. He's not amused with Harry and his fascination with cheeks?


Remember - COMMENTS ARE LOVE - Give some love to our participating authors and artists!

Reminder: the deadline for submitting your fics for the fest is today! Unless you have been granted an extension, we will be expecting to receive your fic before midnight tonight (with allowances for time zones).

Very important:
If you want to post your fic to AO3 yourself, you MUST add it to the bottom_draco_2015 collection AND add bottomdraco_mod as a co-author. Otherwise it will be visible to everyone on AO3 instead of being posted anonymously!

Here's how to do this:

1) Go here:
http://archiveofourown.org/collections/bottom_draco_2015

2) Click on the Post to Collection button on the upper right.

3) In the "preface" section (the second section of the posting window) click on the add co-authors? ticky box and type in "bottomdraco_mod"

4) Add in the rest of the fic details and hit post.

As we get closer to the fest deadline (one week folks!) it's time to post our submission guidelines for those of you who are ready to submit your fic/art! If you have any questions, please let us know!


POSTING TO AO3:

Things will be a little different this year as we will be posting Bottom Draco fest fics to ArchiveOfOurOwn (AO3) at the same time they are posted to LiveJournal for the 2015 fest. Creations will be part of the bottom_draco collection there and remain anonymous until reveals.

• If you would like to submit your fic or art directly to AO3, you can add it to the Bottom!Draco 2015: Transformations Collection.


• Your creation will show up in the collection and remain anonymous until the end of the fest, and you will also have editing privileges throughout the duration of the fest.


• Very important: if you post your work directly to the collection, you must also add bottomdraco_mod as a co-author to your fic so we can edit headers and such appropriately.


• You must also still send us your header information and an attached copy of your fic or art via email!


• You are not required to post your fic to AO3 yourself. We can post your fic to AO3 on your behalf.


• If you do not have an AO3 account, your fic will be credited to "bottomdraco_mod" after reveals. You can get an AO3 account at a later date and contact us to get your name added to the fic at that time.


• If you *do* have an AO3 account already, please let the mods know your account name so we can attribute it correctly. Include your AO3 account name in your LJ submission below.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

- When you send your submission please include your LJ username in the email subject as well as fic or art.

- Please check the formatting of your fic to ensure there are manual line breaks between paragraphs. There is a problem with some Microsoft Word settings and you have to double space manually!

- Include all other other html coding that is needed (bold, italics, etc).

- A good way to check to make sure your story is formatted correctly is to post it in a private entry in your own journal. That way you can easily see if there is anything amiss in your coding/formatting.

- Don't forget to include an lj-cut tag in your story. The lj-cut text should be "The Title of your Creation". (i.e < lj-cut text = "TITLE" >)

- The fic/art header appears below. Please include your header in both the .doc and the email.

<b>Title:</b> <b>Author/Artist:</b> <user site="livejournal.com" user="USERNAME HERE"> + AO3 USERNAME <b>Prompt:</b> <a href="LINK">PROMPT #</a> <i>Please link back to the prompt you claimed.</i> <b>Adapted from:</b> <b>Pairing:</b> <b>Word Count/Art Medium:</b> (Remember that the minimum is 1,000 words!) <b>Rating:</b> (G to NC-17) <b>Contains (Highlight to view):</b> *<span style="color: white; background:white;">Warn for possible triggers and squicks.

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.)
