Welcome to the Fill in HBP FQF! This is a ficathon intent on filling in the plotholes and answering the questions left over from reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Due Dates: Challenges accepted from July 27 to August 17. Challenges claimed from August 18 to October 31. Posting deadline is November 5.
1. All challenges and stories must address, illuminate, or be relevant to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. This means that a story may be told in flashbacks as long as it relates to sixth year. This also means that studies of a character's past are admissible as long as they shed light on their behavior or portrayal in the book.
2. Only pairings that are expressly canonical are allowed. So no Sirius/Lupin or Harry/Draco pairings despite obvious subtext and innuendo.
3. Any and all ratings are allowed as long as they don't contradict canon. So no hot and heavy Ron/Hermione humping in stairwells because that clearly didn't happen in the book.
4. Stories must be at least 500 words. Please put all stories behind an lj-cut.
