• ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST BE 18+ - NO EXCEPTIONS

• The fest is multi-ship. All pairings from any era of the Harry Potter universe (including Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts) are welcome. Slash, femslash, opposite-sex pairings, threesomes, moresomes are all welcome.

• 1000 minimum word count but there is no maximum word count. For artworks, it should be evident that you have put time into the piece, this is not the place for doodles.

• Fanworks of all ratings are welcome. Just because it's a Daddy kink fest doesn't mean it has to be pornographic. That said, we do expect the majority of our submissions to be Explicit/Mature or R/NC-17-rated. Participants, please provide a rating; readers, please observe your local laws.

• Warnings/content tags are critical. Please adhere to AO3’s archive warning policy (or select ‘Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings’) and flag all and any non-vanilla goings-on. If you prefer not to use warnings, please include a note upfront that the content tags are non-exhaustive.

• The mods reserve the right to ask you to add additional tags or warnings to your story if we believe something hasn’t been appropriately tagged.

• All works must be beta’d before submission.

• Mods reserve the right to ask contributor for a second beta.

• Extensions will be given on a case by case scenario. However the more notice you give the mods, the easier it will be for them to accommodate you.

• Works are anonymous until the reveals date. Please do not share your works with anyone prior to the reveals date - with the exceptions of your alpha reader, beta, etc.

• All submissions will be read by the mod team after submission. The mods reserve the right to request further tags be added in-case of potentially triggering content.

• All content creators must respond to any emails sent by the mod team.

• Readers, if you have squicks or triggers please check the warnings carefully. Please contact the mods privately at

• Prompting runs from May 1st - 10am EST / 3pm GMT on May 29th.

• Everybody can leave up to ten prompts.

• Prompting will be collected on airtable, HERE. You can view the prompts submitted so far HERE. This list will update automatically, please refresh the page if you don't see your prompt.

• Claiming opens at 5pm GMT / Midday EST on June 1st.

• You may claim a prompt someone else has submitted or create for your own prompt. If you are self-prompting, you do not have to leave a prompt within the prompting window. In fact, we recommend you don’t, to avoid opening it up to general claiming.

• Each prompt can be claimed TWICE. Once for FIC and once for ART.

• You can sign up as a team, whether as collaborating authors, artists or author/artist. Please just include details of all collaborators in the sign-up.

• If you wish to write for your own prompt, you still need to sign up as a fest participant. Instructions on signing up will be posted to the HP Daddyfest Tumblr, LiveJournal and Dreamwidth when claiming opens.

• You may claim additional prompts when your first piece is completed. If you wish to claim additional prompts please submit your work to the Ao3 collection and if you wish to select another prompt send an email with the prompt you wish to claim next to HPDaddyFest@gmail.com .

•  

• All authors and artists are required to have an AO3 account.

• Submit your fic or art to the fest collection on AO3 which you can find (HERE) on or before submissions are due.

• PLEASE contact us at HPDaddyFest@gmail.com if you are unable to post. There are no penalties for dropping out. We understand that life happens.

1) Do the submissions need to be NSFW to be included?

A: Absolutely not! Daddy-fest is very open in terms of the types of works being contributed. We love that the term “Daddy” means different things to different people, and cannot wait to see how all our lovely contributors interpret it themselves.
