Header and Submission Procedures  
Hi, everyone! I would like to thank all of you who responded promptly to your assignment e-mails and kept patient through the reassignment process. As of this post, all assignments are now final and I won't be able to reassign anyone else.

If you have not responded to your initial e-mail by THIS Thursday (February 23), then I'll have to consider you a drop out for the fest. Luckily I am only waiting on one person, so really, thank you everyone for keeping my stress level low!

I thought I'd post the submission requirements now. No real rush, you all have six weeks to finish your assignments. But I know I like to have all my information ahead of time, so I'm putting everything up now. You'll find everything you need to know behind the cut!

Authors )

Artists )

For both authors and artists, remember to keep in mind the rules.

When I first post your entry, the author/artist line will be erased until after the reveal to maintain anonymity.

Also, one more thing! If you are going to need an extension, please let me know right away! I am awarding extensions to those who request more time, but please do not wait until the last minute! I promise I'm not going to bite if you send me an extension request.

I think that's all for now. I'll probably post again in two weeks to ask for pinch hitters and see how you're all doing. Have fun everyone! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to PM, e-mail, or comment to this post.

Assignments and Reassignments  
All assignment e-mails have just been sent out! Please be sure to respond promptly to your e-mail so I know you're still interested in participating. If you did not receive yours, please check your Spam folder. If you still can't find it, PM me your address so I can try again.

Now, as for reassignments. Again, this is my first fest, I'm sure I'm not perfect. I spent several long, grueling hours matching everybody up according to your own specifications. But there is always room for mistakes.

If you feel that you absolutely cannot deal with the assignment you received, let me know immediately so I can try to fix things. You can request a new assignment either in your response e-mail or as a comment to this post (comments will be screened). Please be sure to explain what about the assignment you can't handle, and what sort of thing you would prefer to have. I'm really hoping there won't be too many of you, things seemed to work out well for the most part.

Anyway, aside from that, I hope you are all happy and eager to get to work on your gifts! Remember, the deadline for all assignments is April 2.

Happy creating!

Last Chance Reminder!  
Hey!

Just a quick reminder, [community profile] femmefest sign ups end Tomorrow! If you've been thinking it over, Monday is your last chance to join the fun!

I want to give all time zones a chance to get in, so I'm not actually going to close the sign up post until it's Tuesday morning for me. And I'm in US Eastern time (Boston, MA), so that leaves a lot of time for those of you east of me, if you'd like to sneak in at the last minute.

We already have 22 people signed up, and it's really looking like an amazing fest. I'm so excited, and I hope all of you are, too!

IMPORTANT: The Midway Reminder and Pairing List  
Greetings, fellow femmeslashers!

This is just a friendly reminder that sign-ups do close in one week, on Monday February 6. So tell your friends to come on down, they have seven days left to get in their names for the fun!

An important announcement: It has come to my attention that some of you fence-sitters may be more likely to participate if you had some idea of what this fest will bring. To that end, I have decided to post a list of the pairings that have been requested so far. In the interest of anonymity, I will not be revealing how many times a particular pairing has come up. Rest assured, however, that most of them have been asked for at least twice.

Please, don't be put off if your favorite pair is not on the following list! I already have several wonderful writer/artists who are willing to experiment and work with characters beyond their preferred requests! So, please, reconsider our lovely fest and see if you can't get your feet wet.

The list is behind the cut. It is long, so take your time, because the order of names may not be as you'd expect. Everything is basically pasted directly from sign-up forms and then sorted alphabetically.

Click here, please! )

I hope this helps! If you have any questions or concerns, please do bring them to my attention! I think you'll find I am a very nice and accommodating mod. :)

Round 4 Sign Ups Now Closed!  
Here it is, the moment you all have been waiting for: the Official Sign-up Post! I'm looking forward to a whole new round of femmeslash love, and I happily welcome all past authors/artists as well as any new participants. :)

Before we get started, here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. First, just as a reminder, your new mod for this round is [livejournal.com profile] briony_tallis. Any of you can feel free to contact me at any time; I will be sure to come online once a day to check the e-mail address for the mod account. You can e-mail fslashfest@gmail.com or send me a PM through this site.

2. Please be sure you have read the rules and guidelines, as by signing up for this fest, you are agreeing to abide by them.

3. Please check the timeline post to be sure you can complete your assignment in the time allotted. I know that things happen and life can be unpredictable, which is perfectly all right. But please don't sign up if you know you won't have the time for us. I'd like my first exchange fest to go fairly smoothly, and I know we all want to give and receive excellent gifts to our fellow femmeslash fans!

4. Please be as specific as possible in your sign-up sheet! Again, we all want to contribute to a great fest, and the more information you provide, the better I can match you up. If you are truly happy with anything at all, that's wonderful! But I know we all have our preferences, however small. :)

Now, with all that out of the way, let's begin, shall we?


Sign ups are now closed!

Right this way... )

All comments will, of course, be screened. You have until February 6 to sign up, don't forget to spread the word!

There will be a pinch hitter's only sign-up post coming at a later date.
 
 
Current Mood: excited

Femmefest 2011 Official Closing Post  
It's the end (and always a bit late) of another successful round of [community profile] femmefest! We had a few bumps in the background but hopefully we smoothed through them alright and you still managed to enjoy the fest.

Special thanks to all who submitted entries to the exchange, and to the pinch-hitters who helped as out in the clutch and are responsible for quite a few saves. Seriously, the pinch-hitters stepped up in a major way this round, thank you so much!!

fic: This Could Be Love for [personal profile] scarletladyy  
We always have this, every year. The absolute final post.

Apologies to [personal profile] scarletladyy and the author of this fic for the mod's confusion. Really sorry about the confusion!

Title: This Could Be Love
Recipient: [personal profile] scarletladyy
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Pansy/Hermione, Pansy/Rose, mention of Ron/Hermione.
Summary: Pansy watched as Hermione ran her hands over the nape of her slender neck, as she wiped the tears from her eyes with the backs of her hands, and as she reached for her robes.
Warnings: D/s, cross-gen, infidelity, light bondage, manipulation, dub-con by way of duress.
Word Count: ~2200
Author's Notes: the dub/non-con elements are mostly implied (strongly, I suppose), but there's nothing graphic. [personal profile] scarletladyy, I had so much fun writing for you – your requests were wonderful and, although I've not managed to use one of your prompts directly (I wanted to write them all but simply couldn't choose), I've tried to capture the feeling you were after in them. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

art: Post-Bellum for [personal profile] raven_tiger  
Last post of the fest!

Title: Post-Bellum
Recipient: [personal profile] raven_tiger
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Pansy/Hermione
Summary: Some years after the war, Pansy and Hermione meet again at a special conference on Muggle/Magical relations. Pansy's POV (and her recollections may be a little biased).
Medium: Ink and the Alphabet.
Warnings: N/A
Artist's Notes: This was originally a straight up response to your first prompt (Sexually-confused Hermione dating Ron has an affair with Pansy.) However, it morphed somewhat in the telling. (For one thing, it morphed into an abecediary). I'm not sure how visible the original story still is. But there is still gender-bending Pansy. I hope you get half as much fun out of reading her as I got from drawing her.

art: The War is Over for [personal profile] alley_skywalker  
Title: The War is Over
Recipient: [personal profile] alley_skywalker
Rating: PG
Pairing(s): Lily/Alice
Medium: Photoshop
Summary: By the time the war was over, though they had survived, nothing would ever be the same.
Artist's Notes: Dear [personal profile] alley_skywalker, your prompt for Lily/Alice haunted me, and drove me to this painting, which I hope is not too tragic to please you.

"The war is over, The rain is falling, And all that's left has blown away, Your eyes are haunted, By what you wanted, I surrender (I surrender), The war is over"
