News CozyFest
With credit to (and with permission from) our amazing JA Worley comes CozyFest- a fic fest to help us all ease into those longer nights and colder temperatures. Much of this is borrowed from Cozytober, which is a cross-fandom fest, but I've edited the prompts for P&S slightly to fit a little more with the Potterverse. 🍂**Welcome to CozyFest**🍂 This mini fic fest is all about autumn and cozy vibes. Think the smell of the earth after it rains, wearing fuzzy socks and warm hoodies, drinking a mug of your favorite hot drink, and cuddling up with loved ones. At the same time, October is spooky season, so think about haunted houses, ghosts, and things that freak people out. The fun part of this event is you can turn any of the prompts into cozy vibes, or turn any of them into creepy ones. Welcome to CozyWinter. 🍂**How To Participate** (See end of post for rules) 🍂 Answer one prompt, or answer them all. Answer them in any order you want. Also, mention which prompt or prompts you’re using in your starting authors note (Example: ‘I’m participating in cozytober this year, and I’m using the prompts: Ghosts, cool rainy days, and favorite warm sweatshirt). 🍂 **Prompts:**🍂 1. Favorite warm jumper | warm fuzzy socks | soft blanket Alternative prompts (can be used as subs for any of the ones above) **Alternate Prompts:** 1. Coming home to family to relax after a wild day Snuggle up and have fun! Priorities on 01 Sep 2023 5:30 am [3 Comments]

P&S site update (and bugs)
Potions and Snitches is now updated to eFiction 3.5. Bugs are being worked on. Please be patient. I plan to hire a developer to eliminate the bugs that are beyond my ability to fix. Members have asked about helping and supporting the site. P&S is a fan created archive, with zero ads. It makes no revenue. It costs a little more than $600 for hosting and domain renewal every three years. We are due to renew this year. If you would like to help with these costs it would be GREATLY appreciated! But no pressure. Potions and Snitches has existed for over a decade and will continue to exist. It fills a needed space in the fandom community. If possible I would like to set up a self-sustaining account to pay from so that it will last for as long as there are readers. Here are some links if you would like to donate: Venmo Go Daddy If you know how to register a non-profit organization in the USA, and are willing to advise, then please contact me. :) Thank you so much! chocolate, frogs, Jan Jan_AQ on 21 Aug 2023 10:14 am [0 Comments]
