H/D Erised FAQ
art by bluebutter for H/D Erised 2023
H/D Erised is a fanfic/fanart gift exchange fest focused on the romantic pairing of Harry Potter & Draco Malfoy.
In an exchange fest, you are creating work specifically for another participant and receiving work created specifically for you in return. We, your friendly neighborhood mod team (Ali, El, and Honey) will match you with both your gifter and your recipient based on what you want to create and what you want to receive.
Erised works are posted anonymously on AO3 starting on the first of December. We encourage everyone to read and comment throughout the month! Creator’s names will be revealed in early January.
Our FAQ has CHANGED this year! We worked very hard on it, in the hopes that it’ll make the fest more accessible. The FAQ is now split up between the different stages of the fest.
1. Sign-up information, guidelines, and FAQ
2. Creation period and submission guidelines
