Window Shopping for Fests, Exchanges and Big Bangs

[boundbooks]

So, browsing around the internet like one does, I find myself window-shopping for events that I'd love to see over in Dramione fandom! fandomcalendar and bigbangindex are great for fannish window-shopping, and here are some cool events that I'd love to see for our ship.

A Reverse Big Bang - Working off a piece of art, authors write a story of 10,000/20,000 words or more.

A Career Fair Fest - like the Harry/Draco Career Fair, where the theme is that the characters have to have unusual careers. No Aurors, Unspeakables, Potion Masters, etc, but instead things like lion tamers, bakers, etc. I love the suggestion in the H/D Career Fair banner: health inspector and pastry chef! :D

Fairy Tale/Myth/Folkhlore-themed Big Bangs - I've seen these more in Supernatural fandom, but I think they're neat ideas.

What are some types of events that you'd like to see?

I feel that we need to run around kidnapping mods - or cloning them in vats - so that we can have more fests/exchanges/who knows what. :D

:S I would flail so much if there was an AU fest! I always thought the problem with a fest would be more how many people would actually write for it and how it would be run i.e. open sign ups or prompting etc. Clearly I'd be eager for a fest but as much as I wish I could, I cant write to save my life. I am most disappointed with myself for that :P
