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.

Hey everyone *waves*

As you may have already noticed, the tagging system has just been recently modified and rearranged to help you filter results better. Here is our current list of tags. Please use them to tag all future posts. If you forgot to tag your post, don't fret - it's not like the mods will bring the modhammer down on you (we're not your police offers :D). Just come back later to tag them.

Most of them are self-explanatory but some new ones may be a little bit confusing. So, here's to explain them:

"- sharing my personal bookmarks" tag is for those who wish to share their own personal bookmarks/rec lists with this comm

"+happy birthday draco!" tag is for any post(s) of any kind that generally involves celebrating or wishing our darling Draco, a very happy birthday. Could be the sharing of fanworks dedicated to celebrating Draco's birthday. Made a cute birthday card for Draco? Wanna share and/or shout your love for Draco on his birthday? Why not? Go ahead!

"content:anti-malfoy" tag is for fics featuring the Malfoys as pariahs/outcasts (mostly post-war)

"content:interhouse friendship" tag is for fics featuring interhouse friendship (e.g. Harry's friends are Draco's friends and vice versa. Of course, if you're creative enough, it could also mean interhouse ~~hookups~~relationships like say, Ron/Pansy)

"content:work partners" tag is for fics with the main pairing or the pairing you're searching for is in a work-related partnership (e.g. Auror partners)

"- fic wip updates" tag is for chapter updates on a Work-In-Progress!fic.

"!pimp post" tag is for any promotion of any kind of other fests/challenges/communities in the fandom.

"- fic post" tag is for authors to post their written work here.

"- art post" tag is for artists to post their graphics here.

"- fic search" tag is for fic searches of any kind. There is no format to fic searching. Specific or general or whatever. As long as you have the want to read something Bottom!Draco related and you'd like to ask for help from the very helpful people here, I say go ahead and ask! Erm, politely of course :D

"- icons/graphics" tag is for any kind of sharing of graphics that you think members/lurkers of this comm might be interested in. Found a sexy manip of Tom Felton? Wanna share? Why not? Go ahead! I have two words for you: Share! Mooaaarrr!

"- unfound" tag is for (specific) fic searches that remain unfound/unanswered after an indefinite period of time.

"- b!d savelists (otherfests)" tag is for a carefully selected list of recs from other fests/challenges/big bangs/ in the fandom that contain Bottom!Draco or Switching!fics. Yes, it has to be a list. A list per fest. No, it cannot be randomly mixed with other recs from...elsewhere. (e.g. HD Smoochfest 2010 Fest Recs - so the list should be all Smoochfest 2010.) Like the way the amazing ayurubie recs them (like a boss!)

Any tag with the symbol ^ in front of it, is specifically for the posting of THIS COMMUNITY'S fest submissions and/or anything fest-related that are hosted by THIS COMMUNITY only. Doesn't necessarily mean these tags can only be used by the mods. If you are an author or artist who have participated in any fest hosted by this community and would like to re-post your work, you can use the appropriate ^ tag(s) - if and only if, the link to your previous submission has died/apparated/gone with the wind... so to speak.

The rules are not much different from standard comm rules and the first rules made by the community's founder,

What You Need To Know

First and foremost, this is a bottom!Draco community; ergo, this is a community created in support of Draco Malfoy as the "Bottom" in his relationships/hookups with (mostly) male characters. In short, this comm is mostly geared towards M/M Bottom!Draco. However, that does not mean Het!Bottom!Draco content is banned - only that they will need to be reviewed by the mods on a case-by-case basis before posting them here.

Therefore, any promotion of fan-works (within this community) in which Draco is not part of the main pairing or in which he exclusively "Tops" his male love interest will NOT be tolerated. Please understand that to the majority of the members in this comm, “Top!Draco” is a major squick.

Fan-works that have Draco "Switching" are fine so as long as they predominantly feature Draco as the "Bottom" in most, if not all of his bedroom activities and a warning/label for "Switching" is stated CLEARLY by the reccer or the owner of the fan-work. (Please check the Bottom!Draco FAQ page for more info).

No one should ever have to indicate in all posts/comments that they are interested in/looking for a Bottom!Draco recommendation. For that reason alone, the mods of this community expressly implore that you CHECK and DOUBLE CHECK all fan-works before posting them to this community.

Submissive!Draco fan-works are also welcome in this community.

♥ You should also know that:

We, the mods of

bottom_draco interpret the term "Bottom" literally as Draco being the receptive partner (the one being penetrated) in his relationships/bedroom activities with his partner - NOT as a determinant (or stereotype) of submissive/passive/effeminate behavior. But should you want to equate the term "Bottom" to being submissive/passive/effeminate, that is perfectly fine too.

( What does "Top/Bottom" mean? )

There may be times we'd probably missed something or make mistakes (we are only human after all), but we trust you to return the favor, afford us the benefit of the doubt and let us know politely when we do. Thank you.
