HP ficathon? Epilogue rewrite

[timepiececlock]

Who'd be up for a "Write Your Own Epilogue" ficathon for Harry Potter & The Deathly Hollows?

When you read the last pages of Harry Potter book 7...

Maybe you thought the epilogue got all the relationships write, but all the jobs wrong?
Maybe you thought the epilogue was written by an overly-eager eleven year old?
Maybe you thought the kids were cool, but the ships weren't what you were hoping for?
Maybe you thought the people who lived would have died, and the ones who died would have lived?
Maybe some people named their kids something else, and others didn't have kids at all?
Maybe everyone didn't marry their high school sweetheart?
Maybe nineteen years later in Harry's life, thinks aren't quite so conventional?


Maybe every discruntled fan on the internet ought to write their own epilogue. Different ships, different careers, different names for peoples kids?

Where would such a ficathon be advertised?
What communities?
Is something like this already in existence?
Would YOU do it, if it was challenged?

*meekly raises her hand*

except I'd probably end up writing 20 different versions. One with book canon, just different writing, one for the D/G ship, one for the N/L ship, one for the H/L ship, one to keep Remus and Tonks alive, one with more kids, one with less kids...*erects a barrier against the plot bunnies until such a time as a ficathon might occur*

(I don't belong to any HP communities, so I'm afraid I can't help you there.)

I say go for it! I highly doubt a ficathon idea like this has already been proposed, since it's pretty unconventional and I don't recall ever seeing anything like this for another fandom. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with any HP-related communities (the fandom is just way too rabid) but if you also try advertising at some HP-fanfic sites you might attract some LJ users.

I'd like to join too but first I need to get my hands on the book and READ. In any case, there will definitely be fans unconsciously writing their own epilogues anyway, so you should advertise as early as possible.

I'd do it! I know omnicular has a post-DH challenge, but they're going strictly canon.
And I'd advertise in fic comms, eg. genfic_hogwarts, hp_slash, etc.

Mind if I spead the word to our H/L community?
