Winterfest in July

[vexed_wench]

Welcome to Winter Fest in July. We will be you guest host for the month.

We love all things winter and Christmas. We realize that not everyone has fandoms or original universes that support that. I tried to come up with a few lists that could fit into almost any verse.

Feel free to use any prompt how they speak to you. I have them separated just to make the list a bit more manageable.

For example if you use a movie or music post feel free to just work off the tittle, or you can remix the movie it's up to you.

As usual there will banners at the end of the month. Also fill can be made of anything, fic, poetry, vid, pod fics,recs and hand crafts. Art, icons, and wallpaper are nice as well.

This is a winter fest themed month so why not share some of your favorites and rec yours or someone else work.

Anything goes this month the only limit is your imagination.


There is a public card at the bottom of this post, or feel free to make you own here.

You can mix or match any of the prompts below or pick your own if like.

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I'll have to make a card tonight. :D Poetry Fishbowl will be Tuesday, July 5 so this should help.

Also I love your idea of encouraging recs for the theme! I'll try to remember that.

Recs of winterfic from my writing:

"Buon Natale"

Compare Victor and Igor's first Christmas in the castle with their second one. :D

"Snow-Driven"

"All Through the House"

"Chamomile and Honeycrack"

"'Tis the Season"

"A Cat May Look at a Queen"

"Jamaican Angels"

Re: Yay!

[vexed_wench]

Thanks for all the lovey recs. If someone wanted to make a bingo with just recs or a mix of recs and fills that would good.

Re: Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

That is an awesome idea! I would really enjoy that too.

I wanted to post more recs, but it's hard to find a topic in my fanfic files. They're just alphabetical lists. :(

[kiramaru7]

YAY! It's Christmas in July & I can't wait to get started! :D

[vexed_wench]

I look forward to seeing what you come up with. :)

[kiramaru7]

Thanks! :D
