For my contribution to this year's HP Sweethearts fest. I received a lot of fun prompts and character requests from Val_Creative, an interesting writer new to me in the fandom. I chose F/F Minerva (surprise, surprise) and "tattoos." Here's the result:

Characters: Minerva McGonagall/Rolanda Hooch, Dolores Umbridge
Rating: low R
Word Count: 200
Summary: Madam Hooch and Professor McGonagall learn that Headmistress Umbridge disapproves of tattoos.

Here's my second entry for this year's "Summer Wish List" event at rarepair_shorts. The wonderful Phantomtomato has given me beautiful gifts, and I wanted to reciprocate. Like me, PT is a fan of second-person and first-person povs, so I relished the chance to use them. I'd intended the fic to be a lot more femmeslashy, but the characters had other ideas.

Request/Prompt Used: "loss in the face of raising a child"
Rating: PG

I wrote this short fic in a whirlwind rush for the rarepair_shorts 2021 Numbers Game Fest.

The premise was fun: you submitted the name of a character plus seven numbers (or just the numbers, if you wanted to be totally surprised re: characters). The numbers corresponded to lists of male and female characters, but only the mods knew which numbers went with which person. Your task as writer/artist was to create a fanwork using your randomly-assigned pairings.

You'll be surprised to hear that I chose Minerva McGonagall as my character, and my seven possible pairings were hilarious: Arthur Weasley, Gabrielle Delacour, Katie Bell, Oliver Wood, Eileen Prince, Tom Riddle Sr, or Helga Hufflepuff.

Any one of these would have been an enjoyable challenge, but I went with Helga.


Title: Ofnadwy
Pairing: Helga Hufflepuff/Minerva McGonagall
Rating: PG
Word Count: 650
Summary: As a ghost in Hogwarts Castle, Helga Hufflepuff feels the world as deeply as she did when she was alive.

The next few posts will contain my entry for this year's hoggywartyxmas fest. I'd intended to write something short, and of course ended up with over 14K words. But compared to a novel, I guess that's short.

As always, my grateful thanks to therealsnape for 1. Beta, 2. Fest.

Here's my entry for this year's wand_in_a_knot fest. The premise is really fun: each participant gets "tagged" by a previous participant and given a prompt. We then have 24 hours to create a story or art with an R or NC-17 rating. Any characters, any kink. So basically insta-porn. It's a really enjoyable challenge.

My prompt came from mywitch:

You're the picture of the devil's daughter,
I'm a pitcher of holy water.

I flung angels and devils and holy water up into the air, and they fell down as this story.

Title: The Devil Wears Tartan
Author: kelly_chambliss
Pairing /Character: Pomona Sprout/Minerva McGonagall
Summary: Pomona Sprout's relationship with Minerva McGonagall is a religious experience.
Rating: R
Word count: 1425

This story was my entry for the 2016 hoggywartyxmas fest. I've always wanted to write about Tom, the landlord of the Leaky Cauldron, and I really enjoyed looking at the magical world through his eyes.

Title: So Bracing
Author: kelly_chambliss
Characters: Tom of the Leaky Cauldron, Hannah Abbott, Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall, with cameos from Argus Filch, the Giant Squid, and a cheeky mirror
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~9300
Summary: "Oh, there's a lot to be seen and learnt in a pub," Tom said. "Like a textbook of life, a pub is."

I recently took part in a fun fest called wand_in_a_knot. The premise is that a participant gets tagged and given a short prompt; you then have 24 hours to create and post a piece of porn featuring any characters you like.

I received my tag at about 10:30 on the morning of Sunday, May 15; by about 10:40 on Monday the 16, my porny threesome was posted and frolicking.

Is the fic any good? Well, about as good as you would expect for something written between 5:00 p.m. and 3:20 a.m! /g/

I confess that I've done a little tinkering since the initial post, but not much. What you see is what I wrote in ten hours or so. So yeah, it's a little OOC and a little rushed and a little. . .um, shall we say, implausible, but it was a blast to write. Hope you enjoy!
