And finally we come to the end of the 2012 round of springtime_gen. Thank-you to all who participated by writing, reviewing and reccing. You are now free to post your work elsewhere.

A special mention goes to pitry, who not only was the first to submit, several weeks before the deadline, but also turned in a brilliant pinch-hit in record time, and has been one of our more prolific reviewers.

Master Reviewer this round was ofankoma, who responded to every entry (except hers). mollywheezy managed almost as many.

Thank-you also to fpb for pinch-hitting. The third pinch-hit was done by chthonya.


During the fest we had the very sad news that leni_jess has moved on to the next great adventure. Many of you will know Leni, who has participated in several rounds of springtime_gen, and has been a fun and respected presence in many other areas of the fandom. RIP Leni - we'll miss you.

And now, without further ado...( Masterlist 2012Collapse )

Yesterday's post was the last in this year's fest. We'll be back the weekend after next with a master list. In the meantime, enjoy the fics and art that have been posted!

Title: Seeds of Hate
Author: chthonya
Recipient: bitchet
Character(s): Lucius, Arthur, Molly, Bellatrix and a few contemporaries
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: ~6500
Summary: Lucius learns some unexpected lessons during his first few weeks at Hogwarts.
Author's Notes: Dear bitchet - you had several really interesting prompts, and I'd have loved to delve into more of them, but this is the plot bunny that bit. Although you didn't ask for this era, no-one ever does, so I hope it's not unwelcome! Herein are a Malfoy, Weasleys, the Sorting Hat, some exploration of thoughts and assumptions and plenty of magic. I hope you enjoy it.
Author's Apology: Please, please, please forgive the mistake with Andromeda. I will endeavour to fix this, but meanwhile please don't let it put you off the rest of the fic, which is focused elsewhere.
Betas: Thank-you to N!

Title: In My Mind, This Isn’t It
Author: flipflop_diva
Recipient: The springtime_gen Community
Character(s): Harry, Hermione, Ron, Hagrid + cameos by Ginny, other canon characters
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 1,495
Warnings (if any): None
Summary: Harry always dreamed of the perfect life for his children. Sometimes, life doesn’t give you what you want.
Author's Notes: I had a lot of trouble writing this, for some reason, and it’s not quite what the recipient asked for, but I hope you enjoy it! Based on the prompts of Hargid and/or Trio fic and a slightly tweaked version of this: One of Harry and Ginny's (technically pure-blood) children grows up to be a blood status bigot/fanatic
Betas: Huge thanks to my beta, Summer, who did this on amazingly short notice! All mistakes that remain (and definitely all American-isms that slip in) are completely my fault.

Title: My Own Secret Ceremonials
Author: downjune
Recipient: flipflop_diva
Character(s): Luna Lovegood, George Weasley, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: ~3,000
Warnings (if any): recreational drug and alcohol consumption
Summary: Luna and George decide to throw their own party before Bill and Fleur's wedding. It's the end of summer and the beginning of a war. It's a hit.
Author's Notes: Story set the summer before the Trio's Seventh Year. Title borrowed from Florence and the Machine because she's cool like that. Also, see if you can spot the T-Rex lyric! I hope you like this, flipflop_diva!
