HP Drizzle

Every year the Drizzle fest is getting bigger and bigger! This year was our FIFTH year (!!!) and yes, it was the biggest yet.

We had OVERALL 74 sign ups, and 58 executions! Before the reveals, I'd like to take the time to thank our pinch-hitters who stepped up to the plate at the last minute and gave us a fic or art, especially: rzzmg, carpemermaid, roelliej, snax0!

Out of 58 fics and art, we had:

3: Fic and Art
10: Art
45: Stories

A total of 5 Femmeslash, 6 Gen or No Pairing fics, 18 Het, 29 Slash.

For Slash, the most famous pairing (can you guess it?) was: Harry/Draco with 12 16 submissions (a number that's gone UP since last year, when we had 15) [Includes fic and art]

For Het, the most famous pairing (really, no shocker here) was: Draco/Hermione with 11 submissions (a number that has gone UP since last year, when we had 9) [Includes fic and art]

Most popular characters: Draco: 33 fics/art, Harry: 23 fics/art, Hermione: 15 fics/art, Luna: 7 fics/art

…and all of this was brought to you by two mods that have a lot on their plate. Dig was out of the country and away from the computer for the first 2 weeks, and for the last two weeks, RCQ has been handling some personal life arrangements. We are all very ready to say goodnight and good luck!

Have you guys checked out the anonymous masterlist yet?

When reveals are up, we will open up our DRIZZLE COLLECTION on AO3 so everyone can post their works there if they so desire. Which, I know, all of you do. Yes, I've got the memo, thanks.

So, what do you guys think? Any more interesting stats you'd like to know? Lay it on me. - dig

Hi guys, guess what? This was our FINAL WEEK! Below is the weekly round up for WEEK 6 of the drizzle fest, I hope you guys enjoyed it!

Title: Inclement Weather [LJ | DW]
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Draco is the best Unspeakable the Ministry have; his skill in magical control makes him the perfect person to help out a struggling Harry Potter learn to contain his wild magic. Or, Harry needs to learn control, and Draco needs to learn to let go.

Title: The Courage Tree [LJ | DW]
Pairing(s): Neville/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Neville’s fallen head-over heels for his Hogwarts co-worker, but he’s lacking the necessary courage at the moment to discover if those feelings could be reciprocated or not. When Draco volunteers to help Neville save his plants in the greenhouse from an unexpected and lingering heatwave, however, this just may be fate knocking on Neville’s door…

Title: Potter de Milo [LJ | DW]
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17

Title: Do what feels right. [LJ | DW]
Pairing(s): Luna/Astoria
Rating: PG
Summary: After the war, Astoria had a choice to make. She could marry a pureblood that didn't really love her (or she him) to please her parents, or she could follow her heart. It wasn't a difficult decision, after all.

I'll be working on the anonymous masterlist shortly - and we'll get that posted in a day or so! Reveals won't be long after! Let's plan to wrap this fest up by October 25th! Thanks so much for sticking around and being patient and reading and commenting!

I do hope it gives some joy to the prompter and the reader. I’d like to thank my betas C and W, who both stepped up at the very, I mean very last moment. Any remaining errors are clearly due to the fact that I couldn’t leave well enough alone. Thanks to the mods for running this fest, you’ve been great, with the extension and understanding.
