Are you feeling the Holiday spirit yet? December is here and we are less than a month from Christmas!

The first winterknights post of 2016 will be up soon!

We hope to share one or two posts each day through December! Please watch the fest for all the great holiday fic and art coming soon!
In addition to posting to LJ and the option to post to AO3, we will also be cross-posting to tumblr - check it out @winterknights

Please remember, comments are LOVE ♥! If you can spare a moment, please spread the holiday cheer by showing some appreciation for our amazing authors and artists!


Call for Pinch Hitters

And if you didn't officially sign up, but you'd still like to be part of the fest - it's not too late! You can definitely help out as a pinch hitter or a fest filler, just let us know!

As is the usual case with fests, we've had a few dropouts and we could use some help fluffing our lovely posting schedule so that we can be sure to have plenty of holiday fic and art to share throughout the month!

If you are available to be a holiday angel and help us out, the mods shall throw much love your way ♥ Please leave a comment here or contact the mods at winterknightsfest at gmail.com!


Thank you so much for supporting the fest again this year!

Notes: Art beta DYlogger - Thanks so much to my beta and to the mods for organising this fest. I originally had much more grandiose ideas, involving a complex scenario with several pictures but in the end, less is more and I went for simple literal interpretation of the prompt. I hope you enjoy it.
