Prompting Guide
For this year’s Fair we’d love for you to come up with prompts, write stories, create artworks and read podfics that feature:
- any food of any kind – muggle or wizarding e.g. spotted dick, bouillabaisse, chocolate frogs, Japanese or Greek cuisine
- any food-related occupation - e.g. baker, food taster, professional food forager
- any food-related tropes - e.g. coffee shop AU, restaurant rivals, chef competition
But with an added twist! You must also include a travel element!
- any food that originated outside of Britain (e.g. Indian cuisine, Sushi chef!Draco)
- any setting outside of Britain (e.g. Michelin Inspector!Draco inspecting Harry’s restaurant in Budapest)
This means that your entries must feature food as the key component and travel as a secondary component!
On 5th June, the prompting submission form and display table will go live on LJ, DW, Tumblr and AO3 collection profile.
The form covers the following:
Food Theme: Include a type of food or food-related occupation/trope
Travel Theme: Include a non-British food or setting outside of Britain
Scenario:Give a scenario/setting/story inspiration
Era:Hogwarts Era, Post-Hogwarts, EWE, Epilogue-compliant or AU, or if that is left up to the creator
Optional Additions: List no more than three items/concepts/words to include in the fanwork
Maximum Rating: G to NC-17, or if that is left up to the creatorRules and Guidelines:
