Submissions are due on August 1st! That's more or less 4 weeks away!

Let us know how you're doing, or if you have any difficulties or questions, feel free to comment here! We'd love to help in any way we can. Please check the Rules where you can also find the submission header, and FAQ first or send us an email to hd_eighthyear at hotmail dot com.

We're also calling for Beta readers for the fest!

Please remember that all submissions must be beta read first. You can find help from wonderful communities such as hp_betas and hp_betas_wanted, it'd be awesome if people who are already part of the community can help with beta reading, pre-reading, cheerleading, or britpicking.

Please consider helping us! Fill out the form belos so our participants can contact you. Thank you very much!

I'm finished, almost. My beta needs to see it and then it will need some tweaking, but other than that, I'm done.

I wish I could sign myself up as a beta for this fest, but I'm afraid I just do not have the time this year, sorry.

It's okay, dear, thank you for the thought ^^
