News Cozytober 2025
This fall we are adoping the Cozytober 2025 ficfest from the Iron Dad Discord. Cozytober 2025 is all about fall and cozy vibes. Think of "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. Fall is also the time many kids go back to school. The fun part of this event is that you can turn any of the prompts into cozy, comforting vibes, or turn any of them into creepy ones. Welcome to Cozytober." "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 author's note." Post your story and then respond to the challenge on P&S under "Prompts." The challenge will end December 1st for us on P&S. As usual, we will vote for a winner out of all the participating stories. The winner will get Featured Story status.

Donate to P&S
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 $650 for hosting renewal every three years. We are due to renew this year. Additional costs are for domain renewal, bug fixing costs, etc.. it all adds up. Jan_AQ on 31 Jan 2024 2:57 pm [2 Comments]

In Pitching, you will present (aka Pitch) your idea to potential team members. In order to do so, you will answer a series of questions on the pitching form.

Update bug, blank chapters
Update Dec 20: Posting bugs seem to be taken care of. But if you have any issues, please join the discord and use the site-bugs-help channel. We are trying to fix some update bugs. In doing so, we seem to of inadvertently changed the code that saves the text of stories. This is why the more recent posts are blank. I have rolled back the site to the version that saves story text. Please edit and repost anything that was added in the last five days. If you need help, feel free to contact me directly at owlpost @ potionsandsnitches.com I am working with a coder to fix this issue and hope to resolve everything soon. I apologize for the problems and thank you for your patience. chocolate frogs, Jan_AQ on 27 Nov 2023 9:59 am [1 Comments]
Secured Site
This site's security certificate expires every 90 days because we're using a free one. When it expires it warns you about pirates and scams and whatever. Just disregard it, the site is safe. The certificate is more meant for stores and credit card info anyway. We don't really need it as we don't do any of that. Some members just saw the unsecured status in their browser and were scared to make accounts so I added a certificate. Every 90 days I have to update it. I send myself an e-mail and upload the new certificate, proving that I have admin access to the site. That's it. If it expires before I get to it don't be worried. The site is safe. It just posts a worrisome alert to try and get people to buy the paid version that automatically updates. It next expires February 20th 2024. Jan_AQ on 21 Nov 2023 9:15 am [2 Comments]
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 [4 Comments]
