WeasleyJumpers is a Weasley-centric community focusing on the Weasley family in book canon, as well as anyone related to them by blood, including canon next gen kids. Both gen works and pairing works are welcome as long as one of the main characters is a Weasley by blood. Every year they run a different fest: a comment fest in 2020, a prompt-and-claim fest in 2022, etc.

They are currently asking for people's ideas on what to do for this year's fest. For more information, please see DW, LJ or Tumblr.

Running through the month of July, weasleyjumpers is having a Comment Fest!

weasleyjumpers | weasleyjumpers' Comment Fest 2021 has officially begun.

How to participate
Fill a prompt in the prompt post and leave up to 3 prompts of your own. The prompt should be in the format as follows: "Character A/Character B, prompt". You must post a fill in order to prompt. Each prompt can be filled multiple times.

Fills
To fill a prompt, post a reply to the prompt you are filling. You don't have to post your fill directly to the prompt post. You can post a link to your fill instead. The fest also has an AO3 Collection you can post to, but it's optional.

Medium
Fic, art and any other medium is welcome. There is no rating or word count limit.

Who are the Weasleys?
Each fill should feature a canon Weasley as one of the main characters. This includes the Weasley family in book canon, the next generation Weasley children, and the Weasley-Potter children (James Sirius, Albus Severus, Lily Luna).

If you are unsure about which character counts as a Weasley, please see the community profile for more detail.

The comment fest runs from July 1 to July 31. To participate, please go to the Prompt Post: DW | LJ

Please note that LJ and DW have different sets of prompts, so you might like to check out both places.
