Fic: Curse of the Mistletoe for Kiwiana

[brighty18.livejournal.com]

Title: Curse of the Mistletoe
Author: brighty18
Recipient: kiwiana
Rating: PG-13
Highlight for Warnings: *Swearing, drinking, and disgruntled Christmas foliage *
Word Count: about 2,850
Summary: Many people misunderstand mistletoe. Some think it just a poisonous kissing plant. But be warned: sometimes it gets pissy and wants revenge. This is a tale of flora v. Marauders and what happens when one crosses the wrong plant person.
Author's notes: MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope that, despite being first person POV, this is to your liking. This is based on Prompt #3 (Mistletoe) and some other things you wanted including: “someone else's PoV, pranks, gay!Remus and anything-that-moves!Sirius, oblivious!James, Marauders-era, not demonising Peter (they never suspected him for a reason, you guys), pranks and hijinks, etc.”

( Merry Christmas, Kiwiana! )

REMINDER: small gifts due monday, november 28

[smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com]

Our deadline's approaching quickly, folks! Remember, gifts of fic should be beta'd (drop by the beta lounge and take a volunteer up on their services). You can post directly to the community as soon as you finish. (We're in "moderated" status, which means they'll be saved in the queue until we approved them. If you need to tinker or fix, just e-mail us and ask us to reject your fic from the queue. If you need an extension, please get in touch with us at smallgiftsmods@gmail.com as soon as possible. Good luck, all! Happy creating!

POSTING INSTRUCTIONS

When you format your art or fic, please:
1) Place gift type (fic or art), title, and recipient in the subject line: For example:
Fic: Five Times Remus and Sirius Almost Forgot Peter's Birthday for lily_evans

2) Place your fic or art under an lj-cut. Here's how to do that, if you have any questions.

3) Use the following header to provide information about your gift (if you don't have any warnings, simply type "none" where you see "insert warnings here"):

<b>Title:</b> <b>Author/Artist:</b> <user site="livejournal.com" user="YOUR NAME"> <b>Recipient:</b> <user site="livejournal.com" user="THEIR NAME"> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Contents or warnings (highlight to view):</b> *<span style="background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #FFFFFF">INSERT WARNINGS HERE </span>* <b>Word count:</b> <b>Summary:</b> <b>Notes:</b>

Every day between December 1 and January 1, your mods will post a gift from the moderation queue. As soon as your gift has appeared on rs_small_gifts, you're free to crosspost to your own journal or wherever you'd like.
