Day 4/7: Beholder in HP fandom

I'm curious about the way that Beholder fits into the larger HP fandom. Does this fest attract you to characters or pairings you wouldn't otherwise read/write/draw? Either as a creator or a consumer of fanworks, do you feel as if you're doing something different at the fest, something you don't do in other fest or exchanges? Creators, without revealing too much about your own still-anonymous contributions, please, how does Beholder fit into your larger fannish life? Has it affected your other output?
