Complete - 03-11-16 - 2nd Person (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whenikissedtheteacher/files/Fanfiction/-%20Fic%20Challenges%20-/-%20Completed%20Challenges/2003/Complete%20-%2003-11-16%20-%202nd%20Person/)[/size] [/color](23 Entries )[/size]Issued by: Tegan2828Synopsis: Write a story completely in second person POV.

2^nd Person Challenge[/b]

What you say? You’ve never heard of 2^nd-person point-of-view. In 2nd-person narrative, there is no narrator. The main character is referred to as "you".

Here is a good example of a 2^nd-person story:
http://www.helenvader.net/second/stories/snake_grass.php (http://www.helenvader.net/second/stories/snake_grass.php)

Though not the most popular, 2^nd-person POV can be loads of fun to write and read. In fact, I would so love to read a SS/HG, 2^nd-person story, that I’m putting it into a challenge.

The Rules:[/b]

1. All stories must feature Hermione Granger and Severus Snape in some way.
2. All stories must be written in 2^nd-person POV.
3. “You” must be a character or creature from the Harry Potter Series. Be creative! “You” could be not only our beloved man in black, but Harry Potter, McGonagall, Flitwick, Filch, Dumbledore, Fleur Delacour, Moaning Myrtle, Colin Creevey, or Hagrid. In fact “you” don’t even need to be human! “You” could be Peeves, a house-elf, a dementor, a basilisk, or Crookshanks! Let your imagination run wild!

To help stir ideas, here is the link to the Harry Potter Lexicon’s “Who’s Who in the Wizarding World”:

And the Bestiary:
http://www.hp-lexicon.org/bestiary.html (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/bestiary.html)

4. The stories should be 2000 words or less. (A little 2^nd-person goes a long way)
5. All stories must begin with: “You couldn’t believe your eyes!”
6. All stories must be spellchecked.

**[/b]Stories can be humorous or serious; whatever you choose.
**[/b]Most importantly, have fun!

Requirements

- involves Hermione and Severus (obviously)
- set whenever you want
- must either be Severus or Hermione leaving, or a love triangle, (one or other has a partner)
- failed plans to leave lovers are good, assistance from someone else is also welcome (but you have free reign of plot, well nearly)

Quotes

Please try and include as many of these as possible.

- “I don't know whether you are genuinely insane or just winding me up. But I'm tired, I'm stressed and I'm fighting for ___________. I've got three things to say to you - shut up, shut up and shut up!”

you'd be surprised.”

Title: A fair account
Post by: Admin on January 03, 2020, 12:21:08 AM

Details for the "A fair account" challenge

The setting:
It has been years since the fall of Voldemort, and a lot of splashy, loose and romantisising accounts of the war against him have since been published.

Now, in her function as a ........ (fill in a feasible job of your choice here), Hermione Granger has been given the task of writing a true and accurate account of the war against - and ultimate fall of - Voldemort.

And, well, how could a proper and accurate account come into being without the input of the surviving key players of the war?

The challenge:
Tell us what happens when Hermione Granger goes to talk to Severus Snape in order to get a true account of his role in the war.

The questions to keep in mind:
- Where is Severus Snape now, and what is he doing?
- What exactly is Hermione's job?
- Where and how will Hermione find Severus?
- Will he consent to being quizzed for details, or be reluctant to share those memories? How much is he allowed to share? Why?
- If he doesn't want to play along, how does Hermione convince him? Does she?
- What do those two think about each other at the beginning, and how do their feelings progress?

The requirements:
- HG/SS story of any type (romance, friendship, angst, .......)
(now, wasn't that a short list....)

The length:
Any length at all

The deadline:
first chapter must be in by April 25th

Other:
please post your entries either right here in this self-same folder, or post a link to your story here.
(and, yes, as you might have guessed I will be sitting in this folder with baited breath, waiting for entries. Honest I will... :-) )

Thanks all, and have fun writing!!!

Title: The Adoption Act
Post by: Admin on January 03, 2020, 12:36:20 AM

The Adoption Act

Deadline: 04-10-01

The war with Voldemort has been won but at a high cost. The loss of life in the wizarding world is staggering. Everyone has lost at least one person close to them, and a many people can now see the thestrals that pull the Hogwarts carriages.

The losses have affected more than just the hearts and minds of people. There are an alarming number of children that are now without parents, many more than the Ministry can take care of. Makeshift orphanages are overflowing. As a result, the Ministry has made the Adoption Act. It requires everyone above 20 years of age that is not attending University to take in at least one child (anyone below 17 years of age), unless they already have at least two children in their care. Married couples are only required to take in one child. Those who are over the age of 80 don’t have to take in a child. (Okay, you caught me here, I was inspired in part by the Marriage Law Challenge, hope no one minds. If you do, just tell me.)

The Challenge: Severus Snape survived the war and is thought of by many to be a hero. However, this does not exempt him frm this new law. What happens when Severus has to take in a child?

Requirements:
*Takes place in or after Hermione’s 7th year, so Hermione and the rest of her year are not put in homes.
*Girl or boy? How old? Did he know the child beforehand? How does the child feel about him?
*Show some interaction between him and his charge. Does he see him/her as a burden, or did he willingly take him/her in (perhaps as another form of redemption)? If it’s the former, does he start to care for him/her?
*How do Hermione and Severus get together? Does she help him with his charge, "babysit" for the staff, or is she taking care of a child herself? Do she and Severus come to an arrangement of convenience?
*Someone challenges Severus’s right to be a care-giver, and someone unexpected defends him.
*Deal with some of the emotional aftermath of the war and its affect on the children, as well as them having new parent figures that are not really their parents.
*It can be any length and any rating.

Bonuses:
*Percy gets saddled with a troublemaker.
*Minerva McGonagall takes in a child.
*Remus wants to be a care-giver, but there is controversy because of his "condition".
*Hermione teaching some man how to braid hair because their charge is a young girl.
*Severus’s charge manipulates him and Hermione into being together.
*There is controversy over the fact that some of the "children" are the last of longstanding pureblood lineage, and people want to adopt them. Some problems pop up because of this.

Title: And Thou Shalt Not. A Question of Right or Wrong
Post by: Admin on January 05, 2020, 12:49:49 AM

And Thou Shalt Not. A Question of Right or Wrong

This is a challenge that will deal with adult issues and themes and questions
about morality (or not)

The Challenge

Severus Snape once had the love of Hermione Granger. Whether it was from a
distance or a close relationship is up to the writer. For whatever reason
Severus pushed her away. Whether it was because he did not return her love,
feared for her or him, didn’t believe he deserved it etc. Explain why.

Now he wants her. Is it real love, lust, just an obsession, perhaps because he
cannot have her, etc. You decide. Maybe Severus doesn’t even realize the real
reason why he must have her.

Things are not always easy. Hermione is now married and is happy. It does not
have to be the perfect marriage however these things CANNOT be said about the
marriage or her husband. 1) It was a marriage of convenience. 2) That either
party is unhappy. 3) Her husband is abusive, self centered, neglectful or
cheating on her. Basically it is a solid marriage.

Rules:
1) A history included on Severus/Hermione relationship and why they did
not wind up together.
2) Hermione has been married at least 5 years to a Canon character other
than Ron or Harry (be inventive, there are other males in the wizarding world)
3) Hermione may or may not have children (bonus for having children, it
makes it more complex)
4) Try to keep Severus in character, the inner conflict of wanting what he
should not but determined to try to have the woman he believes he loves.
Things to include:
1) A kiss between Severus/Hermione in the rain
2) A confrontation between Severus and Hermione’s husband
3) A woman Hermione confides in (other than Ginny)
4) Someone who tries to persuade Severus in a concerned way that he is
wrong in his pursuit of a married woman other than Dumbledore and Lupin.
(They have been used enough as Severus’ support)
5) A gossiper that does not help the situation.
6) Both Severus and Hermione questioning what is right and wrong either together or separately.

How this ends is up to you. Do Severus and Hermione end up together? If so,
how and why. The same goes for if they do not end up together.

Bonus: use the phrase “Thou shalt not….” Fill in the rest.

Challenge ends February 14th, 2004. Please post at least the first chapter (if
multiple chaptered) before then.

Thanks
Andrian

Title: Angstier Than Thou Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 05, 2020, 04:33:22 PM

Angstier Than Thou Challenge
By Josie421
Severus Snape is fed up.
Hated and feared by students, alone in a sea of friendly Hogwarts teachers, the Dark Lord's toy, suffering from constant after-effects of Cruciatus, he decides to put an end to his misery.
In other words, to kill himself.
(But of course I could never really kill Severus, and that's why Hermione steps in...)
Hermione, yes. Can she stop her Potions Master from comitting suicide? And what happens afterwards?
These are the rules:
* It's up to you if Snape wants to throw himself from the top of the Astronomy tower, put a Muggle gun in his mouth or cast Avada Kadavra, or whatever you may come up with.
* He does not succeed, of course, because that would be too depressing.
* Must include some kind of SS/HG action, wheter it be friendship or love.
* Must include a scene with Dumbledore in close-to hysterics with worry and sadness because he almost lost his Potions Teacher (and spy, cough, cough). If you want sucide notes or something like that, it's up to you.
Well, that's it. I can't really say 'have fun' now, can I? Hmm, Good Luck seems more appropriate. Whatever.
Oh, and this challenge ends January 12th.

Title: The April Fools Day Alphabet Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 05, 2020, 05:56:05 PM

The April Fools Day Alphabet Challenge

The wackiest excuse for a challenge ever on WIKTT.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a SS/HG story with a title that starts with X or Z, upload it on a public archive [...]
WHY, you say, does such a nonsensical challenge even exist? Good question.
Here (http://www.chantico.com/darksarcasm/)on the Snape/Hermione fiction links archive, there is an alphabetical list of stories. The only two letters of the alphabet that have no entries areX (http://www.chantico.com/darksarcasm/x/index.html)andZ (http://www.chantico.com/darksarcasm/z/index.html). This challenge aims to change that!
This challenge has only four rules:

It has to be Snape/Granger.

It has to mention April Fools Day (April 1) in some capacity.

It has to be completed, posted to a public archive and linked at DarkSarcasm: The Snape/Hermione Collection (http://www.chantico.com/darksarcasm/) by April 1 (that is because I hate WIPs on the DarkSarcasm DB) and

It has to have a believable, justifiable, grammatically-correct title that will result in its being listed either under X or Z in the archive.

Deadline is April 1, 2003 (April Fools Day). My email is gnat67@telus.net if you need any questions answered. Here (http://dictionary.reference.com/) is a link to an online dictionary if you need inspiration for the title. [...]

When the world lines up against you

Now and then we need to find some time to be in love
Just be in love

Now the whole world's in bed sleeping
I think we're finally alone
If the telephone starts ringing
We'll pretend like we're not home
Cause any fool would understand
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna be your man

Let me show you who I am
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna your man

Just forget about that wedding band
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna be your man.

Title: Bedside Table Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 05, 2020, 09:54:27 PM

Bedside Table Challenge

By Iejasu

Running until the 20th October 2002

When Harry is in the infirmary, his bedside table is littered with
sweet and get well cards.

Well, Voldemort is finally defeated.

Harry was not harmed but Snape is in the infirmary,

either because he actively fought Voldemort

or doing his duty as a spy...

or protecting Harry

Snape is seriously injured and has fallen into a coma.

But Snape's bedside table is empty. Not a single get well card, no
sweets, nothing.

Hermione notices that and realizes that nobody really cares..

Ron mumbles his usual curses..

Example: "I hope he hurts a lot...." and

Harry is more interested in Quidditch or other things

Even Dumbledore does not really seem interested in telling Snape how
much he appreciates his actions. The headmaster has more trivial matters in his head.
Like a party because they got rid of Voldemort or something similar.

Snape is not waking up.

Hermione hears Poppy say something like "Why should he come back, there is nobody here that
actually wants him back anyway. He has no reason to."

Poppy is the only one showing sympathy.

Hermione starts questioning herself and her surroundings.

She realizes the utter lack of any concern for Snape in a lot of other people
that usually hover about Harry when the boy is injured.

She starts sitting at his bed, trying to coax him out of his coma.

Until she falls asleep.

In her dream
or in their joined consciousness ( joined with Snape),

she meets the true Severus...

either what is left of him
or what he is behind all that bitterness
or something else...

Title: Birthday Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 05, 2020, 11:09:39 PM

Birthday Challenge
By emmakittty2000

Well, it is Severus Snape’s birthday and everyone has forgotten again. Not that he cares.

Or does he?

The truth is, not everyone has forgotten his birthday, although he my or may not know this.
Dumbledore most assuredly remembers, as does Minerva McGonagall.

And, surprisingly, so does one Miss Hermione Granger.

How she found out is up to you, but today, Hermione decides that Snape has been friendless long enough!
He needs a birthday present.

What does she get him? What would be the perfect gift for the snarky Potions Master?

At the beginning of the story, Hermione and Snape are not in a relationship beyond teacher/student
or acquaintances if this takes place after her graduation; but by the end,
they should be. Whether they have a romantic relationship (preferable) or merely a more understanding
friendship is up to you,
but they have to be on better terms with each other than they were before.

Note: if you do make a romance, please make Hermione post-Hogwarts before any, um, intimate happenings take place.

Another note! I know how much we all love smut, but try to think of something else for Severus’ birthday present!
I understand the appeal of tying Hermione naked to his bed, but use your brains!
You can up with something more creative! (The smut can come later *wink*.)

This challenge seems like it would be better suited to a short, light, fluffy fic, but if inspiration strikes
you can take it any direction you wish, providing all other requirements are met.

Requirements:
1. Hermione is the only student who knows it’s Snape’s birthday. Does she tell anyone else?
2. Dumbledore and McGonagall may or may not be the only staff members to know,
but Severus has asked people not to spread it around.
3. At least two of the following quotes must appear:
“Crikey, she’s a beaut!”
“Pink, please.”
“Leprechauns, Veelas and house-elves, oh my!”
“Would he like Passions of the Heart? Or do you think Sweltering Lust is more his type?”
4. Severus must have a reaction to the present.
Does he like it? Does he hate it? Is it embarrassing?

Bonus points for taking it on after the birthday! Try to have fun with this, it’s meant
to show the light side of SS/HG fics.
Also, please remember that if you decide to post elsewhere, just leave us link to get to your story.
Ends on July 23, my little brother’s birthday! Happy writing!

Title: Blackmail? How… Slytherin…
Post by: Admin on January 05, 2020, 11:12:28 PM

Blackmail? How… Slytherin…
Welcome, welcome, one and all, to the newest challenge from… *cue cheesy music*… ME!
Okay, so here’s the dish. It’s another high-tension, high-angst (even if it’s humorous angst) challenge. Lots of sarcasm, even some unintential (or not) innuendoes. Here’s how it starts:
Hermione somehow ends up in detention (cliché, I know), but it has to be for doing something really original in class. (Such as flashing Snape, hint, hint.)
Our good Hermione must catch Snape in the act of doing something fairly surreptitious… and be willing to black-mail him for it. >)
It is up to you what his punishment shall be, but I must add that it should be something really good, and not necessarily sexy. Just make it fun to read.
Fic may be one-shot or multi-chaptered, with lots of description, and please, make sure it’s been edited or beta’d.
As many of the following quotes as you like may be included, but try to at least use four:
“Miss Granger, may I remind you that curiosity killed the cat? You’re looking awfully Kneazle-ish as of late.”
“Really, Severus, do grow up!”
“Mr. Longbottom, if you cannot refrain from blowing something up, THEN GET OUT!”
“Ah… It looks like a cow…”
“Um… why are you looking at me like that? It’s scary… No! Back away, back away!”
“You cheated!” -- “Slytherin!”
“My god, Snape, is that you under all that righteous indignation?”
“Now that you’ve puffed yourself up with self-importance, may I tar and feather you?”
Challenge ends April 6, 2004

Title: Boggart Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 05, 2020, 11:33:34 PM

Boggart Challenge
By Josie421

So, dear old Snape encounters a boggart.
These are the rules for the challenge:
* Snape may meet the boggart anywhere, but he must be alone
* Hermione must make an appearance
* Hermione and Snape must have some sort of relationship other than teacher/student - be it they're working on something together, friends, lovers, married etc
* Must include a mention of a blue cookie jar with gold ornaments belonging to Dumbledore
* Must include a mention of Sirius Black
Have fun!

Title: Bound Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 06, 2020, 12:00:28 AM

The deadline to this challenge is September 27. I would like a few responses by my birthday, thanks. J~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bound Challenge
Due to an unfortunate mistake made in potions Hermione and Snape are magically bound and can’t go more than a few feet from each other. How will they ever learn to live together?

CHALLENGE REQUIREMENTS:

*Neville (or another ‘dunderhead’) makes a boo-boo in potions and the result is a magical bond between Hermione and Severus.

*They cannot go more than a few feet from each other. (max. 10 ft; min… 10 inches??) (…just had a really strange vision of them being actually fused together)

*They could try to hide it from the rest of the school (how is beyond me) but that is up to you.

*A bet goes around about who will kill who first, or some such thing. All houses (and staff?) involved.

*This is preferably after the war (makes things so much less complicated)

*And what would a Severus/Hermione story be without smut?

*Hermione has to be of age (Preferably 18)

OPTIONAL: (try to use as many as you can though!!)

*Someone asks Malfoy for his autograph and then says “Oh, they don’t give you an award or anything for being the biggest prick on the planet?” (I don’t know why I’ve always wanted to hear that)

*H & S having a loud, very rude argument in very public place.

*Someone catches Goyle and/or Crabbe in a broom closet (or dark corner, or empty classroom, etc.) with Filch and/or Mrs. Norris (if you would prefer a female J )

*Hermione being a nagging mother to Snape (Eat your veggies! Tie your shoe before you trip! Don’t run with pointy things!)

*A very drunk Neville hits on an equally drunk Trelawney/McGonagall

*“And the winner is……Crookshanks?”

That’s it. Thank you for taking the time to read this and HAVE FUN!!

WIKTT 100 word Challenge[/size][/i][/size][/font][/size]Hi, Adri here. I wanted to enter a few challenges before the year’s up. So here’s the first of my entries. You’ll need to know the basic plot: Hermione’s been raped by Lucius, and Sev is trying to help her cope without making matters worse.[/i][/size][/font][/size][/size][/font][/size]Severus seethed in anger. How could anyone with even one speck of conscience, even Lucius, do that to someone, to Hermione? She was so fierce . . . so alive. It killed him to see her peering up at him, those chocolate brown eyes pleading with him. Begging him to do something . . . anything to make the pain go away. He groaned softly, fighting the urge to do just that: kiss her, hold her, taste her, possess her in every way until she forgot school . . . forgot Voldemort. . . forgot about everything except for him.[/size][/font]

For those of you who haven’t seen the movie, it is about a boy who goes back into his past after reading his journal. He goes to critical points in his past and changes what he did at the time, and when he wakes up in a different life. Everything has changed.

Challenge Requirements:
-Either Severus or Hermione are the ones going back and changing their lives

-There must be at least 2 different “realities” to show an effect. Preferably shows
differences in Hermione and Severus’s interaction with each other and others.

-In one reality Harry Potter is either
*dead
*not the boy who lived i.e. Voldemort never came by and gave him his lovely little mark.
*never born

-The item(s) that trigger the person going back either as to be:
*A diary
*A book (Hogwart’s A History)
*A Potrait
*A potion
*NOT A TIME TURNER

-It can end any way you want. Sad, happy, thought provoking.

-It can be One part or multipart

-Rating is up to you

-Post offline on sites such as ff.net, LordandLadySnape.net, Adultfanfiction.net (If rated R or NC-17, and etc....)

-Email me at billy_loves_me@hotmail.com with a link to your entry ^^

-Challenge Ends November 30, 2004
And the thing to ask yourself when writing this is, are they really going back and changing their lives, are the in Azkaban and this is the side affects of a Dementor’s kiss? Or was there never a Hogwarts at all and just some insane person’s mind that came up with it all. It is up to you!

I would love to see some of the awesome writers at WIKTT to tackle this, because I love almost everything that I have read here, and would love to see what you would do with those creative little minds.

Title: Camping Trip & Love Triangle Challenge
Post by: cis on January 06, 2020, 10:22:48 PM

Camping Trip & Love Triangle Challenge!

The basic plot:

The Hogwarts 7th years are having a camping trip in a wizarding forrest outside Hogwarts. This is an official field trip, which would be supervised by some of professors (which, of course, includes Snape).

During this trip, love blooms between 3 unlikely people. It's a love triangle, where each person is in love with 2 others. (explanations below)

Where they would camp is up to you, as long as it's not the Forbidden Forrest. Be creative! Create your own magical forrest!

The rules:

Since this is a WIKTT challenge, the main love triangle should be Snape/Hermione/any male character. Why male? Because I'm the jealous type, and I don't want Hermione to have to compete with another woman.

By love triangle, I meant they're ALL in love with each other. For example, if you chose Snape/Hermione/Lupin (yum!), Snape would be in love with both Hermione and Lupin, Hermione's in love with Snape and Lupin, Lupin's in love with Hermione and Snape. (I hope that's not too confusing).

NC-17 action must be done sparingly. Having them shag every 5 minutes or so is very off-putting. (As if that's even humanly possible. Oh, wait... Lupin isn't completely human. Hmm.... *runs off to find Remus*).

The goal of this fic is romance, not smut. Therefore, the focus should be on their feelings, and not their libido. (Though I wouldn't mind a good NC-17 action every now and then).

No Ron/Hermione/Snape or Harry/Hermione/Snape. Sorry. (Ron/Harry, however, is acceptable).

If you're chosing Snape/Hermione/Draco, Draco and Hermione must hate each other at first. Just like in the book.

And now, the ridiculous requirements that comes with every challenge!

A ghost of one of the Hogwarts Founders. He/she must interact with the students (and hopefully cause a bit of chaos). Bonus if you manage to include a LIVING Hogwarts founders. Even better if you include Helga or a non-evil (but mischievous) Salazar Slytherin.

An annoying singing marshmallow

A fluffy pink shower cap

A runaway tent

Someone singing" I'm a little teapot..." The full version of this lyric is as follows:
I'm a little teapot, short and stout.
Here is my handle,
Here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up, then I shout!
"Tip me over and pour me out!"

A midi version of this song is available at http://members.tripod.com/~ESL4Kids/songs/teapot.html

The deadline for this challenge is November 18, 2002!

Title: Cat-Woman
Post by: Admin on January 13, 2020, 08:43:35 PM

Cat - Woman
By lyress
[/size]A story idea appeared in my brain late last night... What if there were residual effects from taking Polyjuice Potion for an animal form?
Here is the resulting challenge:
Polyjuice Potion is meant to be taken to form another human NOT
animal form - this is why Hermione had to spend time in the
infirmary because the potion did not fully work on a cat form.
Residual effects come to light in her final year - when she comes of
age as a human and as a cat and goes into heat. Yes that is right
mad phermones, scenting out her mate, mad urges to nap in the sun and a
sudden appreciation for Mrs Norris' cat nip.
Her mate ofcourse is Snape.
( please use the idea that due to time-turner use she is now of age
i think that she could have added a LOT of time two years anyway so
she would be 20ish - christmas, night time etc.)
Other possibilities you may choose to include:
Snape is part vampire
Hermione becomes an animagnus cat or even dog lol imagine the
mental turmoil.
Draco/Harry
Draco/Ginny
Hermione prowling through the great hall
Hermione facing off with Sirius
If possible find a way to bring Sirius back

[/color][/size][/color]

------------------------------------- Author's Notes[/size] ----------------------------------------[/font]

Ok that is it it would be lovely to hear from anyone! Don't feel

that you have to be 100% accurate even if you just use the idea losely i

would be thrilled to see something written, good luck

lyress.

Title: Celebrate Languages Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 13, 2020, 08:55:42 PM

Hi everyone! I think it is time to get WIKTT a bit more cultured. As we all know, romance is not limited to the English language. WIKTT is a diverse group made of members from all parts of the world and I believe the writing should reflect that.
[/color] [/size]
[/color]The Challenge: Write an original Hermione/Severus story in a language other than English. Length, rating, genre, and main plot line are up to the author. Also, it would be nice if the entire fic were in that language but as long as a majority of it happens in something other than English, I’ll be satisfied.[/size]
[/color] [/size]
[/color]Requirements: Must be written in a language other than English[/size]
[/color] [/size]
[/color] Must include use/mention of the following: [/size]
[/color] green socks[/size]
[/color] purple underwear[/size]
[/color] a raised eyebrow (ala Spock)[/size]
[/color] toothpaste[/size]
[/color] someone singing[/size]
[/color] leather (in any form)[/size]
[/color] [/size]
[/color] Lines that must be used: [/size]
[/color] “Is that appropriate to do in public?”[/size]
[/color] “How many first years does it take to brew…” (fill in the blank)[/size]
[/color] “I never saw anyone look so…” (fill in the blank)[/size]
[/color] “Why don’t you owl someone who cares?” (optional)[/size]
[/color] [/size]
[/color] Include an English translation/summary for those of us who cannot read Polish or Russian or Japanese or German or Spanish or whatever.[/size]
[/color]
[/size]
[/color] You may enter as many times as you like.[/size]
[/color] Deadline: November 17, 2002 (to give me something to read while I am supposed to be studying for my finals.)[/size]
[/color] [/size]
[/color]Other than that, no further requirements. So, stretch your language abilities and write about Severus and Hermione in your mother tongue (or second language or third (whichever it may be)).[/size]
[/color] [/size]
[/color] [/size]
[/color] [/size]
[/color]Remember also that many people do not have foreign alphabet decoding on their computer, so if possible use the Roman alphabet (so it looks like ‘arigato’ instead of )[/size]
[/color] [/size]
[/color]Note: This one is especially for those who feel their English writing is not up to snuff. This is your chance to shine in a language familiar to you.[/size]

Title: Celebration, Shyness, and Smut
Post by: Admin on January 13, 2020, 09:43:57 PM

Pairing: Severus Snape and Hermione Granger

Time Frame: now to 11-31-03

Challenge: Celebration, Shyness, and Smut

Challenge MUST HAVE:
#1 Snape and Hermione at a party
#2 Snape and Hermione feeling uncomfortable at party and acting like wallflowers
#3 Lots of couples (slash and het welcome)
#4 Drinking, Dancing, and music of your choosing at party
#5 By end of party Snape and Mione make love (have sex… whatever… you know what I mean!)
#6 A happy ending

Other Notables: Okay I listed what I'd like to see the rest is up to you! Don’t care what the party celebrating. You can start out right at the party or lead up to it! This can be a comedy, a drama, even have some angst if you want, but NO tragedies! Don't care what happens in the story. I like smut and I love happy endings! You can make this a nice short PWP fic or can have a long drawn out story if your muse takes you there. But the beginning of Sev and Mione's "relationship" doesn't start until that night.

Please Note: There is a fic called “A Little to the Left, Professor” that was written way before this challenge that has the same idea as this fic challenge. The author has given permission to use this idea as well as for me to give the link so you guys can read her fic. It’s very cute! I read it myself! ;c) http://www.livejournal.com/users/resmiranda/208014.html

Have fun and I look forward to your stories!!!

Title: 2002 Christmas Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 13, 2020, 10:40:41 PM

2002 Christmas Challenge
Deadline: First chapter, posted or linked in the Christmas Challenge folder, by midnight GMT on December 27. (Greenwich Mean Time, Eastern Standard Time +5 hours).
The Challenge: This year, there were so many great ideas for the Christmas Challenge that we just couldn't decide! So grab your pens and your plates, authors, because this year we're having a Choose Your Own Christmas Story Challenge!

Instructions for the dinner: Below, you'll find a category for each part of your Christmas dinner/challenge story. Choose at least one selection from each type on the menu and include it in your story. If the menu says you can choose more than one thing from a category, go ahead! When you're done, you should have:

A dinner plate (the premise)
1 main course (a location/event for your story)
1 or more servings of veg (a Christmas Cliché that you must include in your story)
1 or more servings of a starch (a Hogwarts Cliché that you must include in your story)
A dollop of gravy (a Christmas song that serves as the 'theme' of your story)
A bit of cranberry sauce or piccalilli (a 'condiment' challenge item that is a little 'challenging')
A serving or two of pudding (one or more challenge items that are immoral, if not fattening)
And, one or two glasses of alcohol, to make your characters say a few choice words they wouldn't usually be caught dead saying!
First, the plate (the basis of your dinner - everyone needs one):
Hermione can be in or out of school. Only requirement: SS/HG, of course! Otherwise...It's another Christmas at Hogwarts ... just like 1,000 others. Or is it? There is must be an unexpected visitor this year. It can be someone secret, or public; a drop-in, or an invitee; a Canon character or an OC; a welcome guest or an interloper... you decide.

Now, for the main course, the Event (choose 1):
Xmas/Winter Ball
Celebration of Voldemort's Defeat
Sadie Hawkins Xmas Dance
Xmas Hogwarts Reunion
Secret Santa Gift Exchange
A blizzard/snowstorm
A Christmas feast
Care for some veg? Help yourself to a serving of Christmas Cliché (choose 1 or more):
Spiked Eggnog
Someone realizes what Christmas is all about (what IS it all about anyway?)
Someone playing Santa
A not-so-ordinary sprig of Mistletoe
Making angels in the snow
Starch - it's part of every nutritious Christmas dinner! Serve yourself a helping of Hogwarts Cliché (choose 1 or more):
Peeves plays a trick
Neville melts a cauldron
A snowball fight
Someone gets socks... how many? Are they magical? Garish-looking? It's up to you.
Annoying non-human creatures carolling/delivering gifts
Now for the gravy. Use one of these Christmas songs as your inspiration.
You may use a song for its lyrics or just as a general inspiration (choose 1):
All I Want for Christmas [lyrics1 / lyrics2]
I'll Be Home For Christmas [lyrics]
Senor Santa Claus [lyrics]
Silent Night [lyrics]
(I'm dreaming of a) White Christmas [lyrics]
The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) [lyrics]
(Walking in a) Winter Wonderland [lyrics]
Silver Bells [lyrics]
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas [lyrics]
Santa, Baby [lyrics]
Last Christmas [lyrics]
I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day [lyrics]
Sleigh Ride [lyrics]
Let It Snow [lyrics]
It Came Upon A Midnight Clear [lyrics]
Condiments. You only need a dab of these flavourful plot devices (choose 1):
Someone is the unwitting/unwilling recipient (victim) of a potion
Someone is on Polyjuice
Two (or more) people duel
Phoenix tears save someone from death
There is a stunning revelation about someone's parentage
Leave some room for the puddings! (choose 1 - or more, if you have room!)
Snape gets an unwelcome proposition (or proposal...?)
Someone gets an embarrassing gift, opened publicly or privately
At least one gift ends up in the wrong hands, or two gifts get switched
A conversation is overheard
Someone is caught sleepwalking, or wakes up in an unexpected place
Drinks can make you say the funniest things! 'Tis the season to indulge yourself (choose 1 or more):
"You look ravishing tonight"
"This should be illegal"
"Don't stick/throw that in there"
"Do I look like a red-nosed reindeer to you?"
"Tell me, what do you REALLY want for Christmas?"
"There's something I'd like to tell you, but I'm afraid of what it might mean."
"Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings!"

Footnotes:
Sadie Hawkins Dance - a dance where the girls have to ask the boys
Veg - that green stuff that you have to cover with gravy before you eat it
Puddings - desserts
Piccalilli - a kind of chunky relish

Please note that this is a Harry Potter-style Christmas Challenge and is not meant to be limited to a typical Christian Christmas only. As discussed previously on WIKTT, JK Rowling never stated that Hogwarts was religious or Christian; the Christmas they celebrated was, in fact, secular in nature.

Since this challenge is rather extensive we are politely requesting/begging that authors include a little note at the bottom of their responses listing the selections they made for their "dinner" and the title of the song used as inspiration (You don't have to actually mention the song in the story if you don't want to).

The 2002 Christmas Challenge is brought to you by: Honey666 (Helen Maidre), Autumnmist, and SilentG

Title: Christmas Spirit
Post by: Admin on January 16, 2020, 08:16:11 PM

Christmas Spirit (ends 03.12.26)
[/size]The Basic Idea:[/color]
[/size]In true Dumbledore form, the old man tries to get Severus to smile on Christmas. Enter a pretty, smart Head Girl.
Somehow, Severus and Hermione are forced together on Christmas. And of course, Snape smiles. Fluffy, romantic, humorous type fic, probably a one shot, though you're welcome to make it longer. Must be set Seventh Year[/color]
[/size]Requirements:
[/color]
[/size]- You're more than welcome to make up the reason they're stuck together, but Dumbledore must be the one who gets them together. You know, playing the typical fandom matchmaker. :p[/color]
[/size]- Set Seventh Year (cause really, she's got to be of age), and it must take place at Hogwarts.[/color]
[/size]- Harry and Ron have to at least be spoken to, or play a part in Dumbledore's plan (most likely to work if Voldemort has been defeated and they've gained respect for him, blah blah blah).[/color]
[/size]At least two of the following:[/color]
[/size]"You know, I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for that..."[/color]
[/size]A gift exchange (doesn't have to be between Snape/Hermione)[/color]
[/size]"What are you doing?" / "What does it look like?"[/color]
[/size]"If all men were like you, a lot of women would ___(finish line)___."[/color]
[/size]One of the Christmas trees in the Great Hall falling down[/color]
[/size]"No. And I mean it this time!"[/color]
[/size]"You weren't complaining one hour ago."[/color]
[/size]***[/color]
[/size]Hope a couple of you like it.[/color]

Title: The Cold Shoulder Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 16, 2020, 08:49:23 PM

The Cold Shoulder Challenge

We'll start off with the plot so you get the gist of what the
challenge is, then, if you decided to indulge you can scroll down
and read the rules and requirements. Obviously the plot isn't
very defined, but that's because I want all of you brilliant writers
to make the story yours :D

The Plot:
Severus Snape and Hermione Granger are sent into hiding as
Voldemort's power grows. Dumbledore thinks this a wise decision since
Voldemort has discovered that Snape is a turncoat and that Hermione
is a bigger threat then he had imagined, maybe even more of a threat
then Harry Potter himself. Obviously both people receive unpleasant
shocks when they realize that they are going to be staying together
and that they won't be able to ignore each other for long if they
hope to survive.

Other, rather annoying rules:
#1. This is an especially important aspect of the story: At the
beginning of your fic it is essential that Severus and Hermione
loathe each other. Obviously they don't like each other, after all,
our dear Professor was once a death eater, and his main purpose was
to hurt/kill all muggleborns and such. This is supposed to help the
relationship develop and make it as truthful as it can be to the
books...

#2. This is supposed to be a SS/HG fic (as if that wasn't obvious, I
am posting on a site dedicated to that pairing). I don't care what
other pairings you choose to include within the supporting cast and
it is also up to you to decide whether or not our main characters
had relationships before they have to go into hiding.

#3. You may choose whom they have chosen to cast the Fidelius charm
on, or in other words, you may choose their secret keeper along with
their location.

#4. You must include the following phrases spoken by either of the
characters:
-"You're tearing my world apart"
-"I hate the way you think you can throw my flaws into my face
and get away with it"

#5. At one point in the house Hermione must be reduced to tears
by the cruelty and malice Snape throws at her

Title: Prudish Hermione
Post by: Admin on January 16, 2020, 11:05:35 PM

Prudish Hermione.[/size]This is a fast challenge, it will be only be open for a few hours. From Today (Friday 14 to Monday 17).[/color]
[/size]Ok. Lets work:[/color]
[/size]This is our problem, what if Hermione is not a goddess neither an innocent virgin but a very prudish woman. Could Severus seduced her?[/color]
[/size]You must solved in three acts. All of them might include one intent of advance from Snape.
Any length.
Any settle.
Any style.[/color]

Title: Snape's Teaching Style
Post by: Admin on January 18, 2020, 10:14:32 PM

The Challenge
By Offlamurk
[/size]Every man and woman needs a role model, a hero/heroine or a source of inspiration.
Here goes:
In her twenties, Hermione returns to Hogwarts (reason for return is up to you.) Well there, she has a little time travelling accident (how, is entirely up to you, but, preferably not silly). Snap, crackle and pop, she's at school during Snape's seventh year. Dumbledore, helpful old fart that he is, gives her a job as a teacher, while researching a way to get her home.
Being just a few years older than the oldest students, Hermione resorts to a teaching style that would stop anyone from harbouring "inappropriate feelings" or to try her authority, namely Snape's.
Rules:
The story must contain a Hermione in billowing grey robes.
One person must have a body part fetish.
Heaps of jealousy must be found in it.
Hermione can teach any subject you like, but, if she's to be the potions teacher, she may not steal Snape's speech.

Other than that, write as you like![/color]

Title: The Crookshanks Connection Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 18, 2020, 10:38:45 PM

The Crookshanks Connection Challenge Summary:The interesting activities of Crookshanks the Kneazle/Cat brings Hermione and Severus together. Ideas:In addition to the romance of HG/SS, use this challenge to explore the environment, Crookshanks, and new and interesting potions. Feel free to invent new places at Hogwarts or other areas. My Note to Authors:I don’t write fanfics, but I read them, lots of them. I always review any story I read. If you answer this challenge I will read and critique it. Degrees of Freedom:Story type is your choice. You can do a parody, humor, angst, etc. Point of View can be anyone you want.Rating can be G to NC-17. Place(s) and setting is up to you.War status- peace, ongoing war, Voldemort wins- its all up to you.Character death is up to you.Length is your choice, a one shot to a novel. Rules:Crookshanks the Kneazle/Cat meets with Mrs. Norris and McGonagall in cat form. Crookshanks does not have to meet both at the same time, your choice.Crookshanks life is saved by Snape.Crookshanks actions lead Hermione to discover something important about Snape via an object, place, event, etc.Crookshanks gets into a potions lab and as a result negatively affects some experiments while positively enhancing others. My only restriction here is no youth/age/beauty or love potions. Have fun with this rule, there are a lot of interesting possibilities here.Romance level. My minimal rule is HG/SS must have a passionate kiss, and Hermione must be of age when the kiss with Snape occurs. This means the story can start with HG being any age, but for the Snape romance she must be of age.Hermione breaks up with somebody.Hermione fails at something in school. (Hah!) The failure is a result of Crookshanks actions.Snape returns Crookshanks to Hermione at least one time.Use as many characters as you want, including OC s. But there must be at least two characters from this list:Percy Weasley, Trevor the Toad, Mad-Eye Moody, Mrs. Figg, Hagrid, Filch, Fawkes the Phoenix, Mundungus Fletcher, Avery, Lucius Malfoy, McNair, Remus Lupin, Mr. Ollivander, Madam Malkin, Marcus Flint, Millicent Bulstrode, Professor Binns, Kreacher, Adrian Pucey, Dean Thomas, Crabbe, Voldemort (Tom Riddle), Ernie MacMillan, Professor Sprout, Hermione’s Mom, George Weasley (but no Fred), Neville’s Mom, Mafalda Hopkirk, Alicia Spinnet, Moaning Myrtle, The Bloody Baron. Points 1. Mention Snape’s frock coat buttons2. A character says “you’re a very bad kitty!”3. Crookshanks being fed and having the litter box cleaned.4. People eat Dumbledore’s lemon drops5. There is a thunderstorm6. Someone falls into the lake7. A magic ritual is held outside8. They eat Yorkshire pudding in the great hall9. There is a Guy Fawkes day celebration10.

[/size]The most votes for "best" story will win bragging rights to "Best WIKTT Crossdressing Snape Fic".[/color]
[/size]Note to those who participate in the poll (voting): *WELL* written stories that meet the basic requirements -should- be judged better than mediocre stories that meet the basics of the challenge plus the extras. Remember, we are looking for the best story to win. All stories being equal, extras that are included should be deemed "better". But the readers will pick the best story. In fairness, please only vote once.[/color]
[/size]Winner will be picked by the results at the end of the poll.[/color]

[/size]Stories do not have to be complete by the end of the poll, May 10th, (look at Falling Further In & Objects of Desire, my favorites and they are still not done) but the first chapter must be posted by May 1st to qualify for the poll.[/color]
[/size]If your story in noted voted "best" and you have a problem with that, too bad. Whatever the poll results are, are. You have no legal recourse. It's just a challenge, deal with it.[/color]

Title: The What Kind of Drunk Are You? Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 19, 2020, 10:26:20 PM

The What Kind of Drunk Are You? Challenge.
[/color] [/size]
[/color]There are many other types of drunks, and something would be missing if some, if not all of them, weren’t here at Hogwarts. Once again, diversity has taken what would have been a barren situation, and made it wholesome and entertaining... at least I hope.[/size]
[/color]So here’s the idea. Hogwarts is hosting on hellava victory party. Is it because Voldy’s been iced? Because Neville aced potions? Because Filch got laid and Dumbledore is taking up a new career as a ballet dancer? THAT is up to you! Needless to say, it’s a Victory party and not only is EVERYONE invited... everyone is drunk.[/size]
[/color]Well... 1 person is stone sober. Snape and Granger MUST get together, or are at least outted at the festivities if they are already together; other couplings are to what you fancy. Try to use at least 5[/b] of the following types of drunks. Fic length is whatever you can make it. Enjoy![/font][/size]
[/color]Challenge to end September 3^rd/2004.[/i][/color][/font][/size]
[/font][/size][/color]The funny drunk.The happy drunk.The frisky drunk.The affectionate drunk.The quarrelsome drunk.The sad drunk.The philosophical drunk.The honest drunk.The sloppy drunk.The mysterious drunk.The stupid drunk.The foreign drunk.The naked drunk.The return-to-adolescence drunk.The pyromaniac drunk.The hungry drunk.The hyper drunk.The sick drunk.

Title: Fun and Games Challenge
Post by: Admin on January 23, 2020, 09:26:26 PM

Fun and Games ChallengeDue March 27, 2004[/size]
**Must Have**:[/size][/font][/size]- Severus Snape, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Ginny Weasley, Ernie MacMillan, Hannah Abbott, Terry Boot, and Padma Patil. (NOTE: most of these people are Prefects)[/size][/font][/size]- They are stuck together in a room through no fault of their own. They are locked in with magic, and cannot get out using magic OR Muggle means. (Suggestions: Harry and Ron could have done it, or Dumbledore, or anyone)
-The room contains a deck of cards, AND/OR a bottle, AND/OR several board games.
- At some point, Harry and Ron must come in and find everyone in some sort of game, preferably one that makes Ron sputter and Harry raise his eyebrows in incredulity. (Harry and Ron cannot be in the room for the game!!)
- The characters (above) must end up playing some sort of game (HINT HINT: Spin the Bottle, Twister, Strip Poker, or my favorite, since poker is hard to play, Strip Go Fish. You know, something of THIS sort would be really fun.)
- Should probably take place in Hermione's 7th year, but doesn't have to. Just get this straight - No non-consensual acts and no child porn!!! Preferably no explicit slash, either.
- The quotes:
"Well, well, seems SOMEBODY has a tattoo."
"What is (or was) said in the room, done in the room, stays in the room."

**Suggestions/Brainteasers**:- Any length, any rating.
- Not mandatory, but if the muse strikes, take on to after the room. What happens? How does everyone interact after?

**Hey, Yo, Some Attention Please**:- If you rise to this Challenge, please, either leave a link in the folder or send it to me. I am dying to read the results of a naughty little muse that whopped me upside the head around midnight in my dorm.
- Hey, I know this is supposed to be Severus/Hermione, but if the muse strikes you with a different pairing, send me the link
Thanks loads!!!
Yours,
~Gelsey~

Getting to Know You
By Natalie and Susanna

The ‘When H Met S’ Vignette Challenge

Premise: Your story will be one of platonic friendship. Their actual feelings may be whatever you wish, but they must end the challenge entry as friends. If you must, you can of course continue the story, and if they end up in bed together shagging like rabbits and living happily ever after, no-one’s going to come to your house.

Your story will be told in a series of vignettes. You must choose at least four of the eight listed below, and if you wish to add your own, you may do so. The whole story arc (the Challenge portion anyway) must take place over at least three years. Yes, years. They may be shagging like rabbits somewhere in their shared future, but in this story they are a couple of tortoises. When it comes to relationships, that is.

Hermione can be in school at the beginning, if you wish – but at least some of the story must take place after she leaves school. Voldemort can be in the picture or gone, whichever works for you.

Scenarios: Choose at least four. You may use them in any order, but you must use the item and phrase included in the scenario.

Confessional. SS & HG get together and share boy/girlfriend stories over wine/pot/dark chocolate/some hallucinogenic potion. Your choice.
Required item: Underwear.
Required phrase: ‘And boy, was I sore the next day!’

Double-blind Date. SS and HG each bring a friend to be the date to the other (as in that famous movie we won’t mention because we don’t do challenges based on movies).
Required item: The date Hermione brings for Snape must be a Mary-Sue!
Required phrase: ‘I didn’t know you were such a cute baby!’

Reunion. Severus and Hermione run into each other at an Alumni meeting at Hogwarts.
Required item: An escaped beastie of Hagrid’s.
Required phrase: ‘Old age doesn’t necessarily mean wisdom.’

Christmas. Our two favourite people bump into each other while Christmas shopping. Their meeting turns into coffee.
Required item: a ‘mini’-sized parcel or bag.
Required phrase: ‘Did you reduce that, or is it really that small?’
**Bonus: if you mention Scrooge, Snoopy or the Grinch.

Muggle London. Snape and Hermione make an excursion into Muggle London (featuring Hermione’s favourite movie? Or maybe Severus’s?)
Required item: A hot dog.
Required phrase: ‘This is a seat belt, not a chastity belt!’

†Girls/Boys Night Out. A stag/ette or bachelor/ette night, with either Snape or Granger. Of course the other can appear…
Required item: A broken wand.
Required phrase: ‘Hmmm…I didn’t think that was edible!’

†Home Alone. One of the two house-sits for the other. (Does someone come a’knockin?)
Required item: A fuchsia-coloured lipstick.
Required phrase: ‘I bet not even Moody is that paranoid!’

Valentines. One of our two like-birds sends a valentine and the other feels guilty because s/he forgot.
Required item: A handkerchief.
Required phrase: ‘A black rose seems a trifle incongruous, doesn’t it?’

† One or more of your vignettes must feature only one of the two characters (the other can make an appearance, however). You can use one or both of those suggested or make up your own.

Deadline: The first chapter in or linked to the GtKY folder by January 31, 2003.

Presented by: Pigwidgeon37 (Susanna) and SilentG (Natalie).

By Jen and Rachael[/color][/font]

[/color][/size]

*VenusDeMilo and Zizikitty5*[/color][/font]

[/color][/size]

[/color][/font]

[/color][/size]

[/color][/font]

[/color]Basic Plot:[/color]
[/color]Like the movie we are basing the challenge on, the basic plot should be as follows: Either Hermione or Severus have gotten stuck in a time loop, forced to relive a single day over and over again, until they get it “right.” [/color]
[/color] [/color]
[/color]The Time Loop:[/color]
[/color]The rules of the time loop are simple; until the person gets the day “right” they are stuck in the loop. This extends to their mortality: they can die in any way imaginable and still come back to wake up in the time loop in the morning. You can use any means to get them into the loop: curse/potion/spell/magical dancing penguin… it’s up to you. There are also no cop-outs in the loop. You may not use Dumbledore/a counter curse/antidote/etc. to get the character out of the loop. Only getting the day right can stop the cycle.[/color]
[/color][/size]

[/color][/font]

[/color] [/color]
[/color]Rules and Fun Things to Add:[/color]
[/color] [/color]
[/color]One: The story *must* be SS/HG ~ any rating, any length, any genre.[/color]
[/color]Two: Groundhog's Day (the movie or the holiday) must be mentioned by at least one character.[/color]
[/color]Three: Someone must let go of their inhibitions over one human vice. (Giving into gluttony/greed/etc, for one day or moment)[/color]
[/color]Four: The person stuck must die at least three times.[/color]
[/color]Five: A dancing Groundhog must appear.[/color]
[/color]Six: One of the Characters Should Say:[/color]
[/color]"I can't believe it's not butter!"[/color]
[/color]or[/color]
[/color]"I’m a God. I'm not the God, I don’t think..."[/color]
[/color]or[/color]
[/color]"It's not a purse, it's a magical bag!"[/color]
[/color]or[/color]
[/color]"Okay, Tinky Winky." (It’s a Tellytubby reference, Tinky Winky is the big purple one with a triangle on his head.)[/color]
[/color] [/color]
[/color]*Bonus for using all of them!*[/color]
[/color] [/color]
[/color]Other than that, it’s open to your imagination! Make sure to have fun with the story! I know we will![/color]
[/color] [/color]

Title: Gryffindor Stud
Post by: Admin on May 03, 2020, 06:10:06 PM

Pairing: Hermione & Snape (of coarse!)
Time Frame: Now to January 4, 2004
Challenge Name: Gryffindor Stud

Here's the general idea:
The 7^th year Gryffindor boys are discussing their recent sexual desires and conquests. Hermione joins the conversation as she has always been considered one of the guys and not a real girl. Everyone admits their most desired crush. Hermione’s is Snape which all the guys think is disgusting and that he is way out of her league as she has only had one lover (your choice). She says the same could be said for some of their choices. Words are exchanged and then a challenge is issued for those not involved in committed relationships to bag their admired objects for the title of Gryffindor Stud and bragging rights of coarse!

CHALLENGE MUST HAVE:
#1 Hermione must use at least one corny pick up line (see below) on Snape (his reaction is your call)
#2 Hermione must win the title of Gryffindor Stud
#3 Snape must stay as snarky and sarcastic as possible I like cannon Snape! OPTIONAL#1 All of the girls of Hogwarts including the Slytherin girls find out about the challenge and help Hermione!!!
#2 Slash is acceptable
#3 Lavender and Parvati give Hermione seduction tips
#4 The guys use one or more of the corny pickup lines

Corny Pick Up Lines for your consideration:
“Wow you have big feet! Can I see if what people say is true?”
“I'd like to name a multiple orgasm after you.”
“Do you eat lots of Lucky Charms cause you look magically delicious!”
“Are you a virgin? Prove it!”
“Can I be your slave tonight?”
“I'm easy, but it looks like you’re hard.”
“Can I have your picture so I can show Santa what I want for Christmas?”
“Let's bypass all the bullshit and just get naked.”
“Didn't anyone tell you that you wanted to sleep with me?!?! I thought you knew...”
“Want to make a porno? We don’t have to tape it.”
“Hershey's makes millions of Kisses each day. I'm just asking for one.”
“Fuck me if im wrong but you have a small dick.”
“I know I don't look like much now, but I'm drinking milk.”
“Do you have a map? I just keep on getting lost in your eyes.”
“If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.”
“There's this movie I wanted to see and my mom said I couldn't go by myself...”
“Do you sleep on your stomach? [any answer] Can I?”
“I don't want to have sex without mutual consent; and by the way, you have my consent.”
“I have sex on the first date. Do you?”
“I think I could fall madly in bed with you.”
“I'm gonna have sex with you tonight so, you might as well be there.”
“If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?”
“You must be tired, because you’ve been running through my mind all day.”
”You know, you might be asked to leave soon. You're making the other women look really bad.”
“Did the sun come out or did you just smile at me?”
“When God made you, he was showing off.”
“Excuse me. Do you want to shag or should I apologize?”
“Nice to meet you, I'm (your name) and you are...gorgeous!”
“Why do you have to be so damn fine every single day? Can't you take a break and let me concentrate on something else for a change?”
“Congratulations! You've been voted "Most Beautiful Girl In This Room" and the grand prize is a night with me!”
“Believe it or not, getting laid is still hard when you're this good-looking.”
“I hope you know CPR, cos you take my breath away!”

Title: Hermione the Headmistress Challenge
Post by: Admin on May 06, 2020, 11:21:05 PM

Hermione the Headmistress Challenge
The Year: 2009 - 10 years after Harry Potter graduated from Hogwarts
The Background: Voldemort has been defeated, and Albus Dumbledore has decided it is time for younger minds to take over Hogwarts and retires to…wherever. The competition for his former position is fierce, but the ultimate winner is…Hermione Granger! Severus Snape is still the Potions Master (or DADA if you want to give him his yearly wish), but due to circumstances up to you, the author, he does not hear about the appointment of a new Headmistress. The rest of the story is wherever your imagination takes you!
Questions to keep in mind:
~How did Hermione qualify for this powerful position?
~When exactly was Voldemort defeated?
~Who are the rest of the teachers?
~What has Hermione been doing in the ten years since graduation?
~What has Severus been doing in the intervening years?
~How will Severus react when he meets his new boss?
The Requirements:
~Must be HG/SS of any type (romantic, angsty, friendship, enemies, whatever)
~Smut not required (but [definitely] not discouraged either)
~Include the lines : "Money changes everything." OR "Every little thing she does is magic." AND "I never thought I would be doing this (or that)!"
~Include the objects: Leather
a Muggle device (of any sort)
mention of a Jarvey (fyi: "Resembling an overgrown ferret, the Jarvey is one of the few beasts which can actually talk. It's speech, however, consists entirely of rude phrases and insults. Jarveys chase Gnomes." from the Harry Potter Lexicon)
~**BONUS POINTS** if you can work into the story Severus falling and Hermione catching him. (In fanfics, she slips and he always catches her, and I think it is his turn to be caught.)
~Try to be as unique as possible!
~Remember that a lot can change in ten (or thirteen) years…
~Proofread!
~No more requirements!
Length: Any length you want
Deadline: First chapter must be in by March 17, 2003

Happy Writing! ~molly

Title: Non calor sed umor est qui nobis incommodat – Challenge (Humidity)
Post by: Admin on May 06, 2020, 11:44:05 PM

Non calor sed umor est qui nobis incommodat – Challenge

(translates to its not the heat it’s the humidity)

We’ve all had those situations, there's no heat but you’re perspiring, it’s humid. Hmmmm maybe like in a dungeon? Can you see where this challenge is going? Oh I think you can.

Personally I see this as a one shot PWP, but feel free to chapter it if you’re that way inclined.
I would like this very much to be humorous, there are not enough humorous Sev/Herm fic about.

Plot: I’m leaving the plot pretty much up to you, although I would like it to have an R or NC-17 rating.
I would like it to be funny.
Some thing about its not the heat it’s the humidity should be in there.
And try and get as many of the following quotes in.

Quotes:- things in ( ) are not quotes just my comments.

“groin-grabbingly transcendent” (I thought this was classic)

“If a Man is talking in the forest and there is no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong?”

“There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.”

“I don't know whether you are genuinely insane or just winding me up. But I'm tired, I'm stressed and I'm fighting for ___________. I've got three things to say to you - shut up, shut up and shut up!”

Title: It's All Been Done
Post by: Admin on May 06, 2020, 11:54:45 PM

This is the challenge from WIKTT:The Basic Plot: Severus and Hermione are destined to be together. Their spirits continue to meet up in different time periods, courtesy of reincarnation, and are drawn to one another time and again.
The Details: The story must contain at least three vignettes. Each vignette must take place in a different time period. All other details (setting, etc.) are up to you. In other words you could use, for example, ancient Greece and 15th century China or 13th century England and 16th century England. One of the vignettes must be set during the canon time period with both characters as we see them in cannon. It may be set either during or after Hermione's studies at Hogwarts. All vignettes must feature, at the very least, romantic tension between Severus and Hermione. At least one vignette must feature Severus and Hermione becoming a couple (secretly or openly) or confessing their feelings for one another (this 'confession' need not be verbal). Any rating. Any genre. Side plots involving other characters or pairings welcome. The basic personality of each character must stay consistent across time periods. All other characteristics (appearance, form, etc.) may change. You must pick a distinctive object or phrase that will appear in each vignette (i.e. a pink Cadillac, Hermione saying, "The price is wrong, bitch!"). For the purpose of this requirement, anachronistic items are welcome. The characters may realize or sense the reoccurring nature of events, but they don't need to do so.

The Inspiration:"It's All Been Done" by Steven PageI met you before the fall of Rome
And I begged you to let me take you home
You were wrong, I was right
You said good-bye, I said goodnightIt's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
I knew you before the west was won
I heard you say the past
was much more fun
You go your way, I'll go mine
But I'll see you next time
It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
And if I put my fingers here, and if I say
"I love you, dear"
And if I play the same the three chords,
will you just yawn and say
It's all been done before?
It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
Alone and bored on a thirtieth-century night
Will I see you on The Price is Right?
Will I cry? Will I smile

The Lemon Meringue Challenge
Runs through: September 30, 2003
As an author, I've been criticized alternatively for not including enough lemony goodness, or not being fluffy enough, in my fics. Well no more! Here's the Challenge that forces you to include a fluffy lemon dessert as a plot element!
The piece can be any length, and of course must be primarily HG/SS.
A sexual encounter must take place in the prefect's bath - could be the male one described in GoF, or you make up the female bath. Hermione does not have to be a student but obviously this has to happen at Hogwarts.
A plot element - preferably integral to the story - must be a dessert that includes both lemon and fluff. Examples might be a lemon meringue pie or a lemon mousse. You get to be creative in how they are used.
Severus should say, "I'm simply not wired that way." and "Miss Granger, you forget yourself. I don't recall giving my permission for you to use my first name."
Hermione should say, "I'm relaxed. Far, far too relaxed for a woman facing death." (That should take the fluff out of things!)
One of the two has to kiss a Weasley - any Weasley. Bonus points if he/she actually wants to kiss the Weasley.
Dobby should play a supporting role.
The plot should include some kind of mortal peril to HG, SS, or both. The challenge, of course, is to create something that includes lemony fluff and mortal peril. Ah, the possibilities!Interesting, eh? Have fun, and if you have questions, write Becca

You've Got Mail Challenge
By Rachael
Mail Fic ChallengeOne of the main things that keeps reoccurring in JKR's books is mail. Letters more precisely. I've read dozens of fics that bring Hermione and Severus together in various ways but never one that's brought them together through letters. So that's what this challenge is all about.Point of story: Severus and Hermione exchange letters like in a style similar to Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail or Jimmy Stuart and Margaret Sullavan in Shop Around the Corner.Time: Hermione needs to be in university or in and around that age....bend it how you want, just make her out of Hogwarts and younger than 30.Requirements:
· Letters-There must be at least four letter. 2 from each character. You decide on the contents.
·Anonymity - Severus and Hermione do not know they are exchanging letters with each other. Its what makes gives the story a twist. How long the anonymity lasts, that's your choice. I also don't care how you do it, because it doesn't have to be owls. If you can manage to do a internet type thing, then by all means, go for it. I'd love to see how you managed that!
· A Dramatic Confrontation- I don't care who is involved, it doesn't have to be Hermione/Snape.
· Love- Self-explanatory. It's a SS/HG fic, its bound to happen.· Story must include mention/use of:
~ A computer explosion (literally!)
~ A black rose
~ A flying monkey (real or otherwise.)
~ A type of magic ink (you invent/pick the type)
~ The line "...not even Keith Richards would do that.... "
OR
~ The line "....shut the hell up Sparky!!"
OR
~ The line "...its not disgusting, its hot...."
OR
~The line"....at this rate Clarence, you'll never get you wings...."Additional notes: ~
Story rating is the writer's choice, but smut is aways fun.
Can be one or muli-parts.
Get as free as you like with the story plot, but please grammar/spell check it before entering it (in consideration of the other members of the group).
Post all answers in the Mail Challenge folder or provide a link to story in said folder.
The one liners are not required, only requested. So if its easier, just don't do it

Snape Gets a Make-Over
SS/HG
Challenge

1. Post-war, Voldemort has been defeated at last and spirits are running high, among students and staff alike.

2. McGonnagal, tired by Snape’s ‘holier than thou’ attitude and even worse appearance,

You make the grounds of the wager.

*This line must be included, (I leave it in your good judgement what to form around it):
- ‘Perhaps once you look your age, you can start acting it as well!’

3. There must be NOTICEABLE physical changes.

4. Snape must reveal himself the first day after Christmas vacations.
He must keep himself secluded from the remaining students during break.

Title: The "Meet the Snapes" Challenge
Post by: Admin on May 16, 2020, 07:13:04 PM

The "Meet the Snapes" Challenge

Deadline: 1 July 2004

1. For purposes of this challenge, Severus and Hermione can be married, engaged, or just lovers. He takes her to meet his parents.

2. Mr. and Mrs. Snape hate each other violently, much as portrayed in the pensieve scene in Order of the Phoenix. Generally speaking, they avoid each other as much as possible--sleeping at opposite ends of the house or eating at different times, for example. With Severus and Hermione present they are forced to interact.

3. One of the parents (your choice) takes an immediate dislike to Hermione because she is Muggleborn, and expresses this opinion openly. (The line I came up with was, "A Mudblood, Severus? How pedestrian." Feel free to use this line or substitute anything else you can come up with.)

4. The other parent chooses to befriend Hermione just to annoy his/her spouse.

5. Fireworks ensue between Mr. and Mrs. Snape. How does this situation get resolved? Or maybe it doesn't; Hermione comes away from the weekend feeling extremely sorry for Severus. You decide.

Title: Mistletoe Challenge
Post by: Admin on May 16, 2020, 07:23:49 PM

Mistletoe Challenge
by Bugeater
Deadline: January 1, 2004

Challenge Rules/Requirements:

~ Story must take place during the Christmas holidays in Hermione's 7th year.

~ Story must take place AT Hogwarts.

~ A Yule Ball.

~ Hermione and Snape share their first kiss under the mistletoe, meaning they have never previously been romantically involved and aren't friends (It seems lately that everyone is writing Hermione and Snape as friends and I rather like things to be more complicated). Whether they want/don't want to kiss, and whether they do/don't enjoy the kiss are at your discretion. Also, their kiss has to be public, so there must be an audience.

~ The mistletoe must be magically binding. When two people are caught under it, they shouldn't be able to move more than three feet, or about a meter apart from each other (Why must we Americans insist on resisting the Metric system?). They don't have to be compelled to kiss, but the movement restrictions should stay in place until they do. There could be an exception if someone really, really, really, really, really didn't want to kiss the other person...perhaps their force of will could override the magic of the mistletoe in very rare cases, kind of like warding off the Imperious curse.

~ That you have fun writing it...it's not really a requirement, but I'd like for you to enjoy your holiday season as well. If you get stuck or frustrated, take a break, have a snack, watch your favorite TV program, read some new fics, and then come back to writing your story.

Optional:

~ At least three other couples finding themselves caught beneath the mistletoe. They don't have to be exclusively male/female couples. They could be m/m or f/f, for those of you who like that sort of thing. Plus, it gives you a chance to allow someone to resist the mistletoe's magic to avoid kissing someone else...can we say Filch?

~ Spiked eggnog. What it's spiked with is up to you.

~ A snowball fight.

~ Yellow snow. Ewww.

~ A talking Christmas tree. (Anyone else ever heard of Bruce the Spruce, or is it just me?)

~ A squirrel running loose in the castle. (Okay, so I got that idea from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.)

~ Singing. Could be a choir, carolers (Looks funny, but my spell check insists that it's correct.), suits of armor, paintings, ghosts, individuals, who or what ever you want really. Doesn't matter.

~ Someone discovering that someone else has a tattoo. Who it belongs to, what and where on the body the tattoo is, and how the other person finds out about it are up to you.

~ Trelawney having a real vision, or making a prediction that turns out to be true.

~ Peeves making up perverted versions of Christmas songs.

~ Gift giving of any kind.

~ Dumbledore dancing with McGonagall.

~ Filch dancing with ANYONE...but who? (Do I hear crickets chirping?)

~ A streaker wearing only a Santa hat, but it doesn't necessarily have to be worn where hats are normally worn.

~ The phrase, "Bloody hell!" I don't care who says it, I just love it.

~ Someone receiving a bloody or broken nose. (As in someone punches someone else...after reading this over, I can see how it can be taken in a very morbid way of someone receiving a bloody nose in a box for Christmas...well, everything's open to interpretation.)

~ Someone randomly handing out cursed candy canes.

~ A red nose.

~ Someone having a nervous breakdown.

~ Sex. I'll leave it very open. It can be as graphic or discreet as you wish, anything from Hermione and Severus having the shag of their lives in exquisite detail to a few loud thumps and moans coming from a broom closet.

Plot Suggestions:

~ There is a huge blizzard, leaving the students and teachers stranded at Hogwarts for the Christmas holidays. In order to cheer the students up, Dumbledore decides to host a Yule Ball.

~ Voldemort has just been defeated prior to the Christmas holidays. Everyone decides a celebration is in order and a Yule Ball is the perfect opportunity.

~ The war is in full swing and many Muggle parents have already been murdered. In order to protect them from Voldemort and his followers, the students are not permitted to return home for the Christmas holidays. There had already been a Yule Ball scheduled and everyone's presence is required, but some students are downcast and reluctant to attend because they are worried about their families.

Notes:

These are just a few scenarios I came up with. You don't have to use the plots or the optional items at all if you don't want to. I just wanted to give you lots of ideas and emphasize that you can take your stories in any direction you wish. I've tried to leave open the possibility for these stories to be light and fluffy, dark and angst-filled, or somewhere in between. There is no set length. You could write a five page story, or a fifty page story. It could be a one-shot, or a WIP. Anyway, that's all I have. Now I challenge you to write a good story. I can't wait to read what you come up with.

Also, though I'm sure I don't have to tell you, I'm supposed to remind participants to please upload their entries to a public archive (FF.net, Whispers, etc.) instead of on WIKTT in order to conserve file space. After doing that, you should post a link to your story in the challenge folder on WIKTT.

For those of you who want to read up on mistletoe, here's some information I got from a website with a brief description of the history:

The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe became popular in eighteenth-century England with the emergence of the mistletoe kissing ball. A young lady standing under mistletoe could not refuse to be kissed. Such a kiss could mean deep romance or lasting friendship and goodwill. It was also said that a young lady standing under the mistletoe who did not receive a kiss would remain unmarried until the next year. If a couple in love exchanged a kiss under the mistletoe, it was interpreted as a promise to marry, and a prediction of happiness and long life. Today mistletoe is a festive addition to Holiday decorations, no matter if it is hung to follow the traditions of the past or as a fun way to participate in the Holiday spirit.

While the Holiday custom of kissing beneath a branch of mistletoe goes back hundreds of years, legends about the curious plant go back to the time of the Roman Empire and earlier. This magical plant seems to have different meaning in each varying culture, but one thing remains consistent throughout, that mistletoe is a very special plant. In Scandinavia, mistletoe was considered a plant of peace, under which enemies could declare a truce, or warring spouses could kiss and make-up. In European folklore, mistletoe has been one of the most magical, mysterious, and sacred plants. It was considered to bestow life and fertility and a protection against poison. In the Middle Ages branches of mistletoe were hung from ceilings to ward off evil spirits. Ancient Druids thought the plant had healing and magical powers and used it in their sacred ceremonies.

Although mistletoe was once believed to be a protection against poison, it should not be eaten because the plant and berries are actually poisonous!

Let the Challenge Begin! Enjoy!

Title: Movie Challenge Rules
Post by: Admin on May 17, 2020, 06:24:34 PM

Movie Challenge Rules
By cosmoballerina

Okay Kids! I had weird dream last night and decided to make it into a challenge! So here goes!

Our two favorite characters are thrown into a strange world (via spell or curse) and it finds them jumping from plot to plot of some of your favorite movies!

For example my dream found Severus and Hermione thrown into a cross between Jerry Maguire and Gone With the Wind. (think of Hermione saying, "You had me at hello." Severus replying with "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn." The Geek Who Lived screaming "Show me the money." And Ron saying "Miss Scarlett I dont know nothing about birthing babies!") And thus my challenge was born!

Now Hermione and Snape are the only ones who know what is going on, everyone else thinks they are their characters. Snape and Hermione, although they are able to resist the spell somewhat they can't avoid feeling compelled to follow the script and find themselves in some strange situations. Being that Hermione has seen Muggle movies and Severus hasn't, she will be a big help.

Use as many quotes as you want! From as many movies as you want! Now this wouldn't be a challenge if there weren't some quotes I insist on being used!! The character don't necessarily have to be in the movie the quote was from, that is all up to you! Just try and find a way to use the quote!

Guidelines:

Someone has to say with a stupid look on their face, "Dude, Where's my car?"

Hermione has to be the helpless female lead at least once! She doesn't have to be happy about it of course. (i.e. she has to constantly be in the most glamorous clothes, and when she runs from the bad guy, she has to fall at least once.)

Severus has to feel compelled to say the sappiest most romantic and unrealistic line from the movie you choose. (again, he doesn't have to be happy about it.)

Happy ending is a must!

Someone has to say "Well, what I really want to do is direct."

Someone has to perform an oscar winning scene!

Someone has to thank the academy!

Make use of a well placed get away car that mysteriously has the keys in it.

Dumbledore has to say, "Do I make you horny?"

For those of you who are familiar with Bridget Jones, put Hermione in a Bridget Jones moment! If you aren't familiar with it (what's wrong with you? She's my hero!) You don't have to use it.

Severus has to say "Love is like oxygen, love is a many splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong! All you need is love!"

Someone has to burst into a song and dance.

Have fun! Dead line is October 25th . . . two months from today!

Title: Noir
Post by: Admin on May 17, 2020, 07:28:06 PM

The Noir Challenge

By fieldofasphodel

Completion Date: June 20, 2004

The Oxford English Dictionary defines "noir" as: "A genre of crime film or
detective fiction characterized by cynicism, sleaziness, fatalism, and moral
ambiguity; film noir. Also: a film or novel in this genre." Think The
Maltese Falcon.

Severus Snape is a hard-nosed no-nonsense private investigator (or spy) who
likes his booze straight from the bottle and his dames sharp and feisty
(Though he'd never mix business with pleasure…at least, ideally).

Hermione Granger is a sharp and feisty "dame" with a proclivity towards
trouble and a mind that's too clever by half.

Hermione recruits Snape's help in an official capacity, and he has to carry
out an investigation of some kind. Hermione's story rapidly becomes suspect;
the problem is: he's already fallen for her...Happy endings are not required (but they are not discouraged either).

You could write this story in a number of ways. For example:
1) Completely AU and without magic in which Snape is a real Muggle private
investigator.
2) Either AU or not AU in which Snape is a private investigator or a spy for
the Ministry (or for Dumbledore, or for himself, or for another party of your
choice).
3) Not AU in which Snape operates much as the archetypal noir private
investigator would and Hermione acts much as the archetypal noir "dame"
would. (That is, the story itself is conventional or even mundane, but
Snape's narration sets a noir-like tone.)

Whichever scenario you choose, the story should be narrated noir-style through
Snape's perspective. You may also write narration through Hermione's
perspective, but traditionally she's an unknown quantity, and her thoughts and
motivations remain hidden until the very end.

**NOTE** Added May 19, 2004

You can write your response in either the first person or in the third person
limited omniscient (told in the third person, but with insight into
only one character). Please don't feel that you only _have_ to
write in the first person.

**

The story can take place in Hermione's seventh year or after graduation.
Acceptable ratings range from G to NC-17. All lengths are acceptable.
Stories that are G or PG are more difficult for this premise, but conceivable,
especially if you use the third scenario.

BONUS POINTS:
-Including Crabbe and Goyle as distinguishable personalities
-Including an occasion in which Remus Lupin grins cheekily
-Including an occasion in which someone punches Draco in the face
-Including an occasion in which Hermione slaps Snape in the face
-Including an occasion in which Ron wears a fedora
-Including an occasion in which someone gives Snape a massage
-Including an occasion in which someone male teasingly flirts with Snape
-Including a line of dialogue in which someone says, "...you have a soft spot
for her..."

This is my first attempt at a challenge, so if any part of this does not make
sense, don't hesistate to e-mail me with your questions/comments. Have fun!
Resources for the Noir Challenge
By fieldofasphodel
[/size]I found some guides and resources that might help you with your challenge responses. I'm not picky if your story turns out to be more hardboiled or pulp than noir, even though some of the following guides make distinctions between them. (I didn't know the difference myself until a few hours ago). This is just if you need help establishing the tone, or don't have a clear idea of what noir is, or just want a few examples of noir writing. Utilizing this information is not required. Remember, if you even make an effort to respond, I'll be a very happy WIKTTer.
Hard-Boiled Detective Fiction and Other Media (http://www.cwru.edu/artsci/engl/marling/hardboiled/OtherMedia.HTM) by William Marling- an essay that includes a section on film noir that may help you understand the nature of the genre.

The FreeDictionary.com- Film Noir (http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Film%20Noir)- an encyclopedic overview of film noir.

The Thrilling Detective (http://www.thrillingdetective.com/)- you can read a few examples of noir fiction under the Fiction link on the homepage.

Twists, Slugs, and Roscoes: A Glossary of Hardboiled Slang (http://www.hotweird.com/crow/slang.html)- terminology you can use in your noir story.

If I find anything else that might be helpful, I'll add it to this list.[/color]

Title: Order of the Pranksters
Post by: Admin on May 17, 2020, 08:37:49 PM

OotP Challenge

Due April 1st, 2004
Order of the PrankstersHistory:-The OotP(r) is a secret organization that has been in Hogwarts for centuries, possibly since the school was founded. And when I say secret, I mean totally, intensely super-secret, Dumbledore does not even know about it.
-The members are not who you might think, however. They are the smart ones, the quiet ones, the ones that you would never think ever pulled a prank or kept a secret in their lives. Occasionally, you get the obvious culprits, such as Fred and George, are a part of it, but usually only to keep them quiet if they somehow find out about it.
-The goal of the OotP(r) is to pll spectacular pranks on those who deserve them-even teachers (hint, hint). Oh, and not get caught-duh! Even go so far as incriminating other people, as long as expulsion is not a risk.
-Is that study group in a library, hard at work? Or is that just a cover?Must-have:-Before leaving Hogwarts, Fred and George inducted several people into the OotP(r)’s super-secret ranks. These people include: Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Blaise Zambini, and Susan Bones. You can have any others except Harry, Ron, and Draco.
-Hermione and group are to play at least two pranks. Here’s a list of possible victims-I mean candidates for being pranked:
Minerva McGonagall
Severus Snape
Draco Malfoy
Harry and Ron
Filch and Mrs. Norris
-Pranks can NOT be life threatening or end up getting anyone expelled, and MUST NOT reveal the OotP(r) to anyone sho does not already know about it.
-Turns out that Snape is an alumni of the OotP(r)-hey, I said that you would never suspect the people.
-Must have the following:
-Someone saying something about smoke burning (such as “the smoke continues to burn” or “Yah, and smoke burns” or “the smoke caught on fire”)
-Hermione saying “Well, I don’t think it was very funny” and then laughing until she cries over the same thing later.

Title: Pathetic Really
Post by: Admin on May 17, 2020, 10:28:58 PM

"Pathetic, really" challenge
By Lei aka kimnlei

ok, WIKTT-ers, I'm just asking you for a chance.

Since the beginning of WIKTT (at least as far as I know) most (if not all) of the challenges have been categorized in the comedy section. But I have an idea: You all know I love every single one of your stories and everything here. but this plot's just been bothering me for a couple of weeks now and I can't write anything about it.

So, this is a challenge for you to write the most angsty, dramatic (tear-jerker), sappy, even pathetic fic you can!

I know, I know, "I don't want to write those kinds of stories! I don't know why I just don't." But that's what this challenge is all about. I want to see if you could still write beautifully even if you don't like the theme and the plot. Isn't that perfect?

PLOT: Either ss/hg has a fatal ilness with absolutely no cure, magic or muggle. She/he has to die, or even both. In Hogwarts or post-Hogwarts. Married or just a couple. Whatever you fancy. Make it novel-length. Preferrably telling us how the events of how they got together until when they actually die. Include the most mushy ideas you can think of! So, I guess that's it.

Oh, two more things: the healthy one gets to sing a "silly love song" to the ill one. It doesn't have to be famous or good; it just has to be there. And at least one person will bump into a defenseless wall because he/she is staring/gaping at someone. hehe

Title: The Marriage Law
Post by: Admin on May 24, 2020, 05:22:02 PM

The Marriage Law

[/color][/size]

by ChelleyBean and Teshara

[/color][/size]

[/color]There have been more and more fanfics cropping up that note the interbreeding that appears to be rampant in the Pureblood families. Some fans may have even noticed how the Purebloods often seem to be depicted as less intelligent and less attractive than the half-bloods and Muggleborns, even in JK Rowling’s books themselves. Why not put this to good use?[/size]
[/color] [/size]
[/color]My challenge is this: The Ministry of Magic has finally acknowledged, publicly, that the wizarding world is in danger as the continued intermarrying of the Pureblood line causes more and more stillbirths, squibs and barren children. In an attempt to save the old families The Marriage Law has been put into place. Under this law any Pureblood wizard or male head of a Pureblood family can petition for a betrothal contract giving them legal power over a Muggleborn witch. This step has been deemed necessary as they discovered Muggle families feel that betrothal contracts are too ‘old fashioned’ and would rather let their daughters ‘fall in love’.
