One of my favorite HP fests is ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
hp_halloween. Participants write 200-word Halloween-themed drabbles that are all posted on -- you guessed it -- October 31.
This year, there were about 60 entries ranging from gen to standard pairings like Harry/Draco to the rarest of rarepairs, like a fascinating Dudley/Pansy. Femmeslash, het, and slash were all well-represented, and the "old ladies" had a good night overall. Minerva showed up eight times.

iselima, I wrote On Silent Haunches, featuring Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank/Minerva McGonagall. Many thanks to therealsnape for the fast and expert beta.
I received. . .
In return, I received a gift of fabulous old-lady femmeslash, beautifully written and characterized. Check out Yellow and Gold bysdkshelly. Minerva/Pomona.
Here are just a few of the entries I loved:
ravenclawsquill wrote A storm of amber leaves, a wonderfully atmospheric Pomoma/Hooch drabble. Great characters and imagery.
pauraque wrote a really inventive parallel character study called The Fall (Narcissa, Andromeda)
writcraft wrote a powerful, evocative piece featuring Severus/Sirius -- In the Arms of the Adoring Stars.
And check outvaysh's clever take on the future of the Resurrection Stone: Stone Meets Wand.
I could add many more, but you might as well just go and read all the fine entries for yourselves.
