This is my first year participating, but I've written a fair number of pairing-centric fics with some of the eligible characters, so I was hoping for something new. I think one of the best things about this fandom is the sheer number of characters that people actually write and read, so there's so much room to stretch yourself and write something different. (I think at one time I had the idea of writing a drabble about every HP character with a speaking part, but then I realized how nuts I would be to try it.)
