HP Single Mums

New Cycle Kickoff!

2022-05-06T06:03:26Z

Posted by: chokolattejedi

It's time for round three! This cycle is for Next Gen, meaning single parents in Harry's generation raising their next gen kids. Canon kids are obviously fine, and OC kids/grandkids of canon Harry's gen characters are allowed. So,

Ginny raising Albus Severus alone? Check.
Hermione raising her and Harry's daughter Jasmine alone? Check.
Rose raising her and Victoire's daughter Elodie alone? Check indeed.
Victor Krum on the Quidditch circuit raising his son Victor Vlad Krum VII alone? Checkaronie.

(If that doesn't make sense, please poke me and I'll try to explain better).

Let's Go!

Cycle 3: Next Gen

Schedule:
Prompting: May 5th - 15th
Claiming/Filling: May 15th - June 15th

Apologies for the late reveals; when I chose the dates I didn't factor in the holidays, or all the visiting relatives that would distract me. But the stories are now revealed! Go revel in reading about some other families!

The authors have been revealed for Cycle 2; enjoy finding out who wrote what!

And, along those lines, Cycle 3 is up and raring to go! This time the theme is single extended families, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, and anyone else who could be related to the kid they're single parenting. So, here's your place to ask for Andy and Teddy, Gran and Neville, Petunia and Harry, Amelia and Susan, Uncle... Algie? and Nev?

Very Belatedly, Stories are Live

2022-02-28T12:02:47Z

Posted by: chokolattejedi

I'm so sorry for the delay, y'all! My laptop crashed, and I just finally got it back. I have a newfound mad respect for people who type stories just on their phones. The screen and keypad are way too small for me to do anything reliably!

Please enjoy the stories at the collection.

Just Over 24 Hours Left, Get Your Prompts In!

2022-01-20T07:37:34Z

Posted by: chokolattejedi

That's right, prompting closes at midnight (PST) on the 20th, so you've got just over 24 hours left to get your prompt in. Remember that this cycle is for all kinds of dark witches and wizards, be they Death Eaters, the followers of Grindlewald, or just generally from the Dark side.

Canonically 'light' characters are welcome to play as well, provided they've turned to the dark side since. Me, I'm always a sucker for Harry and his friends turning dark ;)

As long as they're single parents, let your imagination flow!

I meant to post this a few hours ago, but I got distracted by kitties and clearly that took priority. ;)

You've only got about 20 more hours to edit your bus pass, take one last trawl for errors, and finally decide on a title!

Most stories are submitted, but a few have extensions. However, we're still on track to reveal stories on the 20th!

Have fun reading all the wonderful HP stuff in Heart Attack, and poking at your fics here if you've uploaded a bus pass, and I'll see you all on the 20th! :D

And I must say we were very matchable. ;)

I did some tweaking, so if you see a problem with your assignment, please let me know ASAP. Comments on this post are screened for that reason. You can also message me on Discord. [ChokolatteJedi (They/He)#6882]

You have about 2.5 weeks to complete your assignment. Maybe a little less if you're still trying to complete a Heart Attack fill in the next few days. Though writing your Single Mums fic might be an excellent way to procrastinate on HA. :D
