The Little Black Book Challenge Hermione has had numerous liaisons and like the bookish know-it-all she is, she keeps track in her Little Black Book.

Hermione has had numerous liaisons and like the bookish know-it-all she is, she keeps track in her Little Black Book. This can be an actual book, or it can be another form of records keeping.

It is up to the author to decide her motives for these encounters, and why she's moving from one man to the next. It could be because she just hasn't found Mister Right, or it could be because she is researching. The options are limitless, be creative.

Has she recorded memories in the book?  good bad ugly?

Does she have a little of their DNA stored?
Did she design a charm to detect magical and reproductive abilities, maybe a charm to see how the child would look and act genetically?

Severus must find her Little Black Book and figure out a way to read it. Severus and Hermione do not have to be in a relationship. They could be teachers, or she could be the equivalent of his parole officer, or anything else that you can think of that would cause them to interact.

Requirements:

-Hermione must be of legal age of consent.
-Hermione must have at ten people in her book.
-Some mention of contraceptive and prevention of wizarding STD’s must be made if doing this challenge based on sex.
-The names: Oliver Wood, Victor Krum, Blaise Zabini must appear in the book in some fashion.


The Little Black Book must contain at least 3 of the following information (these are broken down into categories, choose any or all or add whatever you’d like, up to you):

-Appearance and attributes of ‘equipment’: length, width, circumcised (yes or no), and uniqueness?

-Prior experience

-Specific will and won’t perform: Oral, specific positions, voyeurism, bdsm, role-play/fantasy, massages, multiples, etc.

-Creativity: points for being creative and willingness to ‘try new things’

-Special talents: notes on what she finds most notable

-Number of times she has met with, dated, or had encounters with this person and the reason she has stopped.

-Photo of the person

-Song, image, or scent that reminds her of the encounters

-Fetishes

-Mention of one person that she sees every year on a certain date. Your choice what she actually meets this person for, but the pattern must be evident.

-Pick-up lines used (by either or) and most effective method of seduction.
    Ideas for pick-up lines:
      -You've lost that lovin' feeling.
      -Where's the nearest book store?
      -Do you prefer sex on the beach or a slow southern screw?
      -I understand you’re interested in reading books. 

The book must have some sort of rating scale… but keep in mind it all depends on what she’s keeping records for and how the book is graded.

Optional:
-There is a charm on the book giving false information to any reader but Hermione.

-Hermione has mention of Obliviating a date.

Length: This story may be a one-shot or multi-chaptered.
Due: The first chapter of your entry is due August 20, 2006.
The story may be AU or HBP-compliant.
Rating: Though this sounds like it must be an R or NC-17 rated story, it does not have to be. There are many different ways to go about this, this does not have to be smut. Just please be sure that your rating matches your story.


Well this is it! I will be sitting on my cliff waiting to hear from you.   A special "Thank You" goes to GinnyW for organizing my thoughts and making a few suggestions.

Best wishes and good writing,

Pickles/Pickles87

The sex-ed Challenge.

We've all been through sexual education in school, haven't we? And why should they not at Hogwarts? They shan't of course, which is why I made this challenge.

But why do they have sex-ed all of a sudden? Did something happen that made it necesary? Or is it a compulsory subject for 7th year students we just didn't hear about?
How many classes take sex-ed? Is it just the 7th years? Or is it perhaps 5th through 7th? Or something else?

Must have:

- Some sort of relationship between HG and SS other than student/teacher - preferably romantic.
- The story must set in Hermiones 7th year.
- The class must be taught by a teacher already at Hogwarts, who is up to you.
- Snape must be embarrassed at some point.
- Harry and/or Ron must see something he/they shouldn't have seen.

- Length and rating is up to the author
- Deadline: December 1st 2006.

Have fun, otherwise what is the point.

The 'Livre Noir' of Sex Ed By: amethystjck

In this challenge, someone has been hit by a sex hex. It is similar to a lust potion, but there is no time limit on it, and it can only be broken by having sex with the person you are lusting after. The person one lusts after can be chosen in different ways. Perhaps you lust after the first person you touch. Maybe you lust after the person you like. Maybe you lust after the person you hate. Maybe you lust after everyone! (Though if you make it pre-HBP, lusting after Dumbledore might be a bit...eww.)

There are five rules. Snape and Hermoine must end up in lust, and hopefully love, but it is not required that they fall in love. Afterall, who doesn't love a one night affair with hot steamy... Whew! Need to cool down a bit... Anyway, the second rule is that two characters must have sex. They don't have to be Snape and Hermoine, but the sex must have some point in the story. Again, hot steamy stuff is appreciated! Rule number three varies. In the Sex Hex PG challenge the rule is that one must tell the story without ANY pornographic descriptions (in a story involving a lust potion that is a real challenge!). In the Sex Hex NC-17 Challenge you must write the most hot and heavy porn you can. Make sure you mark your response as PG or NC-17. Either challenge has it's own difficulties and easy parts! The last rule is that you must have the first chapter completed and posted by July 3.

         Did anybody notice I skipped a rule? That's because it's my favorite. You must use the following phrase in a non-pornographic way: "The folds were wet and covered him in dampness." Use your imaginations! I can't wait to read your stories, so post your answer soon.

Fanning the Inner Fire Response to the Sex Hex Challenge by mirlanthiriel Jun 20, 2006

[cis]

Being emotional abused is something none of us wants. Women in this situation are under intense pain and tend to have difficulties identifying for what it really is. Abuse knows no class, IQ, religion or nationality; is more common than we think.

The curious thing is that in our ship there are a lot of abusing patterns wrapped in romance. The challenge, ladies and gentlemen is to choose one or more of this abuse sings* bellow and explore it in our favorite couple, the rest is up to you. You have until Friday, April 29 to post.

So Hermione:

Feels like she have to "walk on eggshells" to keep Snape from getting angry and is frightened by his temper.
�   Feel she can't live without Snape.
�   Stop seeing other friends or family, or give up activities she enjoy because he doesn't like them.
�   Is afraid to tell Snape her worries and feelings about the relationship.
�   Is often compliant because she is afraid to hurt his feelings; and have the urge to "rescue" Snape when he is troubled.
�   Feel that she is the only one who can help Snape and that she should try to "reform" Snape.
�   Find herself apologizing to herself or others for her partner's behavior when she is treated badly.
�   Stop expressing opinions if Snape doesn't agree with them.
�   Stay because she feel he will kill himself if she leave.
�   Believe that his jealousy is a sign of love.
�   Have been kicked, hit, shoved, or had things thrown at her by Snape when he was jealous or angry. (Just remember his reaction to Sirius  in POA and OotPh)
�   Believe the critical things he says to make her feel bad about herself.
�   Believe that there is something wrong with her if she don't enjoy the sexual things he makes her do.

Love and Stockholm Syndrome: loving an abuser

It’s important to understand the components of Stockholm Syndrome
as they relate to abusive and controlling relationships.
Once the syndrome is understood,
it’s easier to understand why victims support, love, and even defend their abusers and controllers.

A definition:

Taken from: http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/verbal_emotional_abuse/110026

Abuse is about control and the fear of losing it.
Ill-treatment is an absurd effort to maintain and enhance the abuser's hegemony - social, cultural, legal, and,
above all, psychological.
Abusers exploit, lie, insult, demean, ignore (the "silent treatment"), manipulate, and control.
There are a million ways to abuse, directly and by proxy.
To expect too much, to denigrate, to ignore - are all modes of abuse.
There is physical abuse, verbal abuse, psychological abuse, sexual abuse.
The list is long.
Most abusers abuse surreptitiously.
They are "stealth abusers".
You have to actually live with one in order to witness the mistreatment.
Abusers exploit, lie, insult, demean, ignore (the "silent treatment"), manipulate, and control.

There are many ways to abuse. To love too much is to abuse.
It is tantamount to treating someone as an extension, an object, or an instrument of gratification.
To be over-protective, not to respect privacy, to be brutally honest, with a sadistic sense of humour,
or consistently tactless – is to abuse.

To expect too much, to denigrate,

The loser: outlining a posible abuser in a dating scene.

We all know to avoid people that appear insane or abusive
and not select them as a dating partner.
However, some individuals are better at hiding their personality and behavior abnormalities.
In an effort to provide some warning about these very damaging individuals,
this paper will outline a type of individual commonly found in the dating scene, a male or female labeled "The Loser".

Lost in a Book Challenge - SS/HG get sucked literally into the plot of a wizarding romance novel (any sub-genre), as the hero and heroine. Will they find their way out of the story?
ladylotm

Ladyofthemasque’s Lost in a Book Challenge on WIKTT, based on the story Lost in a (Not So) Good Book by Bubblebunny.

Here’s the Lost in A Book Challenge:

1. Hermione Granger and Severus Snape encounter a wizarding romance novel.

2. They get sucked literally into the storyline, taking on the roles of the hero and heroine.

3. They must complete the storyline of the novel in order to escape the book and return to the real world.

4. They must fall in love with each other during the course of their adventure, though they don’t have to start out that way, if you don’t want. The main genre will therefore be Romance.

5. The sub-genre of the novel can be any category—Western, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Regency, Contemporary, Horror, Medieval, Prehistorical, and so forth…but the MAIN category must remain focused on building some sort of romance between SS/HG (mildly romantic or downright smutty or some combination thereof).

6. The number of “chapters” should be at least 5, though the chapters can be as short as 100 words, or as long as 10,000. (There shall be no limit to the size of the story, but it would be really, really nice if you finished it, and didn’t abandon it…)

7. Severus and Hermione must kiss at least 3 times, though it doesn’t have to be voluntarily at first. Greater levels of passion are at the author’s discretion, but nothing lesser will be accepted.

8. The Deadline for this Challenge (submitting the *first* chapter) will be February 17th, 2006, because it’s my birthday, and I want to read some nice prezzies from all the fine writers here at WIKTT. If there’s lots of enthusiasm, I’ll definitely consider extending the deadline.

9. Feel free to use other HP characters to fill out the various supporting cast roles. CAVEAT: If you decide to place this into a specific genre, such as the Anita Blake series (by Laurell K. Hammilton…mmm, Severus as Jean-Claude…), please be mindful that some fanfic sites do not allow crossover-fics to be posted on their boards (for example, Ashwinder or RestrictedSection.org).

THE AMAZING RACE CHALLENGE

 

I have only recently been addicted to The Amazing Race. It’s a highly dramatic reality show. To those who are not familiar with the show, it is a race around the world, with 11 pairs competing for $1 million. Suddenly, while watching the 4th episode of Season 7, the idea of a Harry Potter-Amazing Race crossover came to my mind. I tried to search for fics which may have had this concept, but I couldn’t find any. This is why I am proposing this challenge to you.

 

CONDITIONS:

One of the pairs should certainly be Severus/Hermione.
It should generally follow the show’s format. For the complete information on The Amazing Race: visit http://www.answers.com/topic/the-amazing-race
Length and rating is up to you.
 

ISSUES:

Here are a few questions that need to be answered:

Why is Hogwarts holding this event?
How are the participants chosen?
In the first place, why would Severus or Hermione be interested in joining?
How would they become partners?
Are the participants allowed to use their wands?
 

POSSIBILITIES:

The possibilities of this fanfic challenge are endless. Choosing the 10 other teams is an exciting adventure itself. Could best friends (or boyfriends) Harry and Ron be included? Or perhaps old couple Albus and Minerva? Or maybe bickering couple Draco and Pansy? Or the buffoons Vincent and Gregory? Or maybe the twins Parvati and Padma (or Gred and Forge)? You can have the teams as diverse as possible. It is also very interesting how the pairs will interact with one another.

 

The genre may also vary. This is generally an adventure/romance story, but it can also be humorous (or even kinky) as well.

 

The ending is up to you. It can be happy, sad or frustrating. The show itself is all about the emotions of the people who are competing in the race. Your fanfic should be the same.

 

BONUS:

There are bonus points for using the familiar lines from the show such as “You’re team no. 6” or “You’re the last to finish to the race. I’m sorry, you’ve both been elminated”. People who are familiar with the show will know what I’m talking about.

 

SUBMISSION:

Have your first chapter by the end of April 2005. You may finish the fic until March 8, 2006. I will be waiting for your submissions. Feel free to contact me somniotextrix@yahoo.com if you are planning on taking this challenge or if you have any questions.

 

Remember to post a link (not the whole fic) under this folder to same some space.

 

Thank you!

The “It’s Ms. Granger to you!” Challenge (HBP-Spoilers)

 

Challenge end date: First chapter should be posted by October 31, 2005

Challenge creator:  Sophierom (sophierom@yahoo.com)

 

 BEWARE, SPOILERS BELOW!!!

 

Snape survives the war, but there are times when he wishes he hadn’t. Although he was not charged with Dumbledore’s death (you decide how he gets out of that one), Snape is broke and unemployed. Our favorite ex-Death Eater finds that no one in the Wizarding World is willing to hire him.  No one, that is, except Hermione Granger.  Having started her own business, Hermione has just the job for him.  But will he be able to handle having a woman, not to mention his least favorite know-it-all, as his boss?

 

I originally issued a version of this challenge 3 1/2 months ago, but because it seemed to parallel a few fics already in progress, I promised to hold off until the end of the summer.  I would wait a few more weeks to issue this challenge, but I’ll be incredibly busy at the end of August with the start of a new job. I also believe that, with the publication of HBP, as well as with the suggestions below, any responses to this challenge will be significantly different from any pre-HBP WiPs. 

 

Requirements:

 

-       Somewhere in the fic, you must use the line, “It’s

Ms. Granger to you!”

 

-  Hermione must run a business; she's not hiring him to perform a service.  This applies particularly to sexual services.  In other words, she's not hiring him to have sex with her, help her produce children, pretend to be her husband, or actually marry her. There are already challenges that cover that ground.

 

-       This fic should take place after Voldemort's defeat.  You can decide how many years later, but you must make the premise somewhat reasonable.  In other words, Hermione cannot be the senior partner of a large Arithmancy firm if she’s only 19.

 

Oh, the possibilities … or Some Suggestions and Questions
 

-       What kind of business does she run? Do she, Ron, and Harry decide to start a private detective agency? Has she started her own newspaper, having finally gotten fed up with both The Daily Prophet and The Quibbler?  Has she started her own school, one that she hopes will rival Hogwarts? The possibilities are endless…

 

-       What kind of employer is she? Does she decide to make him suffer for the way he tormented her and her friends at Hogwarts? Does she try to teach him a new skill?  Is she too lenient? Is she a brilliant businesswoman who faces discrimination? Is her business suffering because she’s great at coming up with ideas but horrible at managing people?

 

-        What kind of employee is he? How long does it take him to get used to taking orders? Or does he ever get used it? How does our dear Slytherin deal with any other employees that might work alongside him?

 

-       How do the power dynamics of their work relationship affect whatever personal relationship they develop? Can they become friends? Lovers? Or does their work relationship get in the way of a successful personal relationship?

 

-       The length and tone of this story are completely up to you.

Make it a dark one-shot, a humorous novella, a dramatic epic … whatever suits you.

 

Hope you enjoy the challenge! It was inspired by several great fics that place Hermione, not Snape, in a position of authority.  I love the power dynamics inherent in the HG/SS pairing, and so I look forward to reading any responses that might develop out of this challenge!

The Road Trip Challenge Severus and Hermione are forced to take a cross-country road trip of America together. Will romance blossom, or will they kill eachother before they've reached the end?
bookwormfaery

The Road Trip

By Joy C.


 

Synopsis:

 

            Severus and Hermione must embark on a cross-country road trip of North America, for whatever reason(s) the author chooses. It can be a pre or post-war fic, but Hermione must have completed her schooling at Hogwarts -- however many years following her graduation is at the writer’s discretion; but I prefer 2-5. Severus and Hermione MUST end up romantically involved by the end of the road trip. The genre of this fic is intended to be a humorous romance; but if you would prefer drama, angst, etc., then by all means, please do so. The length can be anything from a one-shot (though it will be difficult to fit everything in one chapter) to a multi-chapter fic. Keep in mind the deadline when choosing the length of your story.

 

Challenge Requirements:

 

Hermione must be the primary driver.
At some point in time, Severus must try to take over the driving. Bonus points if you have him drive on the wrong side of the road.
Severus, ever the navigator, gets them lost, and must ask for directions.
The car must be towed; the fee of which, they can’t afford. They must re-acquire the vehicle by any means necessary. Bonus points if you can realistically earn them the money to pay for the fee.
In the middle of the night, stuck in a hellish traffic-jam, Hermione must somehow convince Severus to sing songs from Queen (blasted on the radio) at the top of his lungs, with the windows rolled down.
At least one trip to a famous library is required.
Hermione must insist on picking up at least one innocent-looking hitchhiker. Weather or not the hitchhiker is truly innocent is up to the writer. Bonus points if it’s an evil granny-type.
A stop in at least once seedy motel is required.
A “raid” on a convenience store for travel munchies, and an ensuing argument over chips/crisps vs. chocolate.
The following states must be visited: Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, and California.
 

 

Required Dialogue:

 

1.      “Just give me the damn map!”

2.      “You’re holding it upside down…”

3.      “Do you wear those all of the time?!”

4.      “Just what do you think you’re doing?”

5.      “And then you woke up and realized it was all just a dream!”

6.      “Those look like giant marshmallows. Now if only we had some giant chocolate bars and graham crackers…”

7.      “I recommend the pork lo mein.”

8.      “Haven’t you ever seen a cow before?”

9.      “I’ll give you to the count of three to relinquish the dingdongs!”

10.  “If I have to listen to one more Brittany Spears song, I’m going to Avada the damn radio!” 

11.   “Sod off!”

 

 

The deadline for this challenge is September 8, 2005. That gives you two months to complete it. I will be reading all responses, and will choose the best from the group. After all, what’s a challenge without a winner?

 

As requested by the wonderful mods of WIKTT, we request that all stories be posted at an alternative archive site, such as ff.net, whispers, etc. Post only the link to your story in the challenge folder!

 

I would love to know who has responded, so please e-mail me once you begin posting your story. If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact me!

9) Circe making a deal with the Order and Dumbledore, she will help them with

 number of dates with Hermione.

10) Rules of the dates: 1) the date must last at least three hours or it
 doesn't count as a date, 2) the number of dates they must go on is 25, 3)
 Severus must take Hermione away from Hogwarts for a certain number of the

JKR has stated that some wizards and witches receive their education in the home. The role of the governess is a classic romance character and I have for some time longed to see more 'love kindled' stories in this ship. It is therefore my pleasure to invite you to join:

 

The Governess Challenge

 

Hermione has accepted a job as a governess to get away from something. Severus Snape comes to stay with the family for a period of time. Romance ensues.

 

Rules

1. Time: Post-Hogwarts with at least 3 years, i.e. Hermione 21 years of age or more.

2. They meet by chance and neither Hermione nor Severus Snape is, or has been, in love with the other before the story starts.


3. They must fall in love before they have sex.

4. No non-consensual sex.

 

Deadline: October 31st
Best wishes for inspiration,

Snape Manor By: Autumn Felicity Summers
 

[cis]

Asylum
Reality is really nothing more then a person’s point of view.

Hermione has been locked up in the Muggle world for insanity. She believes herself to be a ‘witch’ with ‘magical powers’. Through therapy and liberal use of medication she realizes that everything she’s ever known is part of her self-made delusion. After several years of treatment, Hermione is finally released back into the world to restart her life.

The war is over and everyone is accounted for in one way or another, except for one. Severus Snape is out to find the last missing person: one Hermione Granger, know-it-all.

RULES:

1. Hermione’s parents must have either been in hiding or dead. No if’s, and’s, or but’s about that. I want Snape to be her first contact from her old world.

2. Explain how Hermione ended up in the mental institution as best as you possibly can.

3. If you can show everyone what Hermione’s time in the asylum was like and how it effected her over time, then please do.

4. Snape must be her first contact with her old life. (Remember… she believes her old life, including her snarky Potions Professor, to be something she made up)

5. Since this is on WIKTT I doubt I need to remind you, but just in case… This MUST be a SS/HG pairing. (All others are up to you)

6. Please include what’s happened to her wand and if she can or cannot do wandless magic.

EXTRA STUFF:

Bonus points if you include any of the following…

“I can‘t hear you.” (In a singsong voice)

“You‘re not real, go away, I disbelieve in you!”

“Does this mean I’m talking to myself?”

“Not saying that I believe you, but should you be right and you are real, why would I listen to you anyways? You hated me.”

“Blue pills or red pills? Oh, which one did they say would stop the hallucinations?”

“Get out of my head!”

The first chapter is due by 06/14/2005. Because of space considerations, please post your stories somewhere other then WIKTT (such as: FF.net, Whispers, Ashwinder, etc.)

Okay, so no one liked my last idea… Maybe this one will be better? If anyone needs more time please email me and let me know to extend the deadline. Please also inform me if you post something for this challenge, as I don’t make it by WIKTT everyday.

^_^
