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.

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!

So, the sign ups have officially closed for round four of femmefest! I hope everyone who wanted to join us got in on time. :)

Here is the list of our participants this year! If you signed up and your name is not on the following list, please let me know immediately.


( See the long list here )

I'm so thrilled to have such an amazing turnout this year! The fest is going to be spectacular, I just know it.

Matching up will begin either today or tomorrow, with assignment e-mails going out as soon as I finish. If all goes well, you should expect to receive your assignment on Thursday or Friday.

Cheers!

Hey!

Just a quick reminder, 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!

Click here to sign up!

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. :)

Hello, all!

I've made some banners to promote the fest! Feel free to use any of these to nag entice your friends. ;)

Also, if you'd like to use some femmefest icons, there are plenty of beautiful ones here and here.

Don't forget, sign-ups open this Tuesday!!

Hello, all!

So mark your calendars and tell your friends! The sign-up post goes up in one week!

And if you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

It's the end (and always a bit late) of another successful round of 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!!

We always have this, every year. The absolute final post.

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

Title: This Could Be Love
Recipient: 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. 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!

Last post of the fest!

Title: Post-Bellum
Recipient: 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.

Pairing: Ginny/Pansy
Warnings: Sex, toys, (come on, it’s R for a reason…)
Word count: (Approx) 8500
Author’s Note: I really hope you like it! I stuck pretty close to the prompt since I kind of fell in love with the idea. Enjoy!!

Title: The War is Over
Recipient: 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 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"
