Thank You Everyone!

Posted by: mini_fest_mod

mini_fest has come to an end for another year. We would like to thank all of our participants for all of their fantastic entries and also everyone who watched the fest and commented on the wonderful fic and art we had this year.

I would also like to give a very special thank you to kitty_fic and winterstorrm for taking over the modding reins when real life and general motivation conspired against me. If it weren't for them mini_fest wouldn't have been half as good as it was or had so many great entries for everyone to enjoy. Ladies I cannot thank you enough for all your hardwork.

To our participants we hope to see you again for mini_fest 2012, and everyone who read and squee'd over the wonderful fics and beautiful artwork we hope to see you too, maybe even as a participant.

Thanks everyone for another fabulous year and we'll see you again in a few months for prompting and sign ups!

A/N: First of all, thank you so so so very much K for being so very patient with me. And then, thank you B for helping me with the story idea. <3 <3 I'm actually a...quite hardcore H/D shipper, but a Ron/Pansy plot bunny jumped to my head when I read the prompt, and it refused to go away.
The .gif file is quite big, so I've also submitted the individual files as well in case the gif was botched up or something. :D I hope you all enjoy this. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Fic: (My True Love Gave to me) A Kookaburra in a Gum Tree

2011-12-31T22:49:00Z

Posted by: mini_fest_mod

Title: (My True Love Gave to me) A Kookaburra in a Gum Tree
Author: ???
Rating: NC-17
Characters: Lily Luna Potter/Lysander Scamander, background Lorcan/Al and Rolf/Luna/Harry
Prompt(s): #95 of 2009 – Six White Boomers
Warnings: Frottage
Summary: Venomous spiders, mosquitoes, sunburn and shared showers. This was shaping up to be Lily's worst Christmas ever, and Lysander Scamander was only making it worse.
Word Count: 6,100
Disclaimer: All recognisable things belong to JK Rowling.
A/N: Thank you to curiouslyfic for the superfast beta. She is far smarter than me, and thus makes the stories better. This is for kitty_fic, who is a horrible enabler. Mystery prompter from 2009, I'm not sure whether to love you forever for the awesome prompt or scowl over the fact that the song has been stuck in my head since I decided to write this! Worse, I only know a couple of lines, so there's Rolf Harris going "Six white boomers, snow white boomers, dah-dah-dah-dum, the Australian sun!" over and over again! It was a real pleasure to write something set in my beautiful home country, for a prompt for someone who I assume is also an Aussie. If you still follow this fest, I hope you enjoy it.

done in three hours, it was! xD This prompt jumped out at me when I

Rating: R
Characters: Padma Patil/Millicent Bulstrode

Warnings: None
Summary: The events of one short night change Padma’s life forever.
Word Count: ~13K
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
A/N: First of all a big massive spanking thank you to C for helping me pick the pairing for this and for the cheerleading, it was great fun writing this and without you I would never have had the opportunity to do this and I’m so incredibly glad I did! *squishes* Also thank you and hugs and kisses and flowers and shiny things to her and G. I hope you both know that I love you something fiercely and that I mostly wrote this fic for both of you! <3 Thank you also to E (I love you) for an additional beta to those of C and G who did a super fantastic job, who told me if things I wanted to do didn’t work and have been nothing but supportive and brilliant! Thank you also for letting me run stuff past you when I couldn’t figure it out by myself. Thank you to K for the handholding, you are wonderful and I fucking adore you! Another thank you goes to V for looking at something with new eyes and telling me whether it worked. You’ve all been wonderful and I appreciate you more than I can express in words.
A big shout-out of eternal gratitude and love goes out to alisanne for writing a fic that made me see Millicent in a new light and appreciate her as a character. Without you, my darling and your awesomeness and love, this would never have happened. Thank you!
Thanks to dexstarr for the prompt, I hope this fic is somewhat along the lines of what you were hoping for. I was really happy to see a femme!slash prompt out there and had to do it. :)
Thank you to the mods for their patience and for making this awesome fest available. ♥ I wasn’t even going to take part in any seasonal fests and then you made it all special and shiny for me! ♥
And to everyone else, this is my first attempt at femme!slash, I’ve been wanting to write some for a while and with C’s first inspiration I found I enjoyed it quite immensely. Thanks for having me!
Acknowledgements: The stanza at the beginning of the fic is a direct quote from that brilliant Christmas song “Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas” I was thinking of either the version by Mel Torme or the one by Tori Amos; thank you to my entire f-list for their input on what the bloody hell one does in a coffee shop when waiting for somebody; and on top of everything, there’s a line in this fic I shamelessly stole from that beautiful 2006 adaption of Jane Eyre, staring Toby Stephens and Ruth Wilson, also, that second to last scene was totally inspired by it as well.
