Secret Santa Challenge
By
Heather Granger

         Hi everyone, this is my first challenge so please be kind.

         Here is the basis of the challenge Hermione Granger is now on the Hogwarts faculty.  She can what ever position you desire.   Albus thinks it would be fun to have a Secret Santa gift exchange.  Much against Severus Snape’s chagrin, he is forced to participate, along with all of the other Hogwart’s staff.   Severus happens to pull Hermione’s name out of the sorting hat, and Hermione ends up pulling out Severus’s name.  The rest of the story is up to you!

The story must include the following:

1.    Snow, snow, and more snow!
2.    Socks
3.    A thong
4.    “I didn’t think I was THAT good this year!”
5.    “This is what you call a gift?!?!”

The Selling Snape Challenge
By Azraelgeffen & Ozratbag2
 
The Selling Snape Challenge

"My name is Hermione Granger and I finished Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in June 1998 with Outstanding passes in all of my subjects; and a note on my report card next to Potions that stated I did not have the disposition to be a successful Potion maker. As a result I lost my dream job to one Draco Malfoy, a man with the disposition to do very little at all. To get even I have decided to devote my career to humiliating Professor Severus Snape in public."

Hermione Granger has decided to become an entrepreneur, creating a line of products revolving around one man, Professor Severus Snape. From her first advertisement, the public thirst for more is overwhelming and soon Hermione has her own Snape related empire, but what will happen when the Potions Master finds out? Can Hermione keep her identity a secret and her person safe? What will Snape do?

Challenge rules:

Let's just point out right now, this is a comedy, make it funny.

You have to write at least one advertisement.

You have to come up with a line of products, at least 10 (or you're not trying), 20 (we will be very impressed) and extra credit for more.

You have to include Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" at least once.

One of your products should be a Soap on a Rope that dances the Macarena or the Ally McBeal Baby Dance.

Snape has to find out who is behind it – just how is up to the author.

Challenge ends Midnight 10th March 2004.

The Sex Diary Challenge

Hermione is Lucius sex slave, prostitute, whore, whatever, but she isn’t there by force, she is there by choice. Write a diary-like story, from Hermione’s point of view. My email adress is sockmunkieluver@yahoo.com, email me with any questions at all!

Requirements:
1)      Either Hermione is really in love with Snape; Snape is in love with Hermione, or both.

      “You’re a masochist, he’s a sadist, so what does that make me?”
      “Just like the mob!”
      “She gives great head.”
7)      The death-eaters have not been disbanded. They may be ones in control if you wish, or it may be still at the type of stalemate that was happening in the 4th book.

The
Lets Show 'Em How It's Done
NC-17 Fiction Challenge

Posted by SilentG

 

Premise.  NC-17 stories written for shock value, or by people who can't write, have tarnished a lot of good works and great writers with an unfairly broad brush.  So, let's show 'em how it's done!  Sit down right now and write a story that's smutty, or squicky, or violent, but so good that people will say "I don't usually read that kind of stuff, but I couldn't put it down."

They may never be posted on FF.net, but there is a place in HP Fandom for well-written fiction that has a deserved NC-17 rating.  In the midst of all the controversy, let's have some fun writing one.  Or two.  Or three.

Challenge Criteria.  I want this to be wide open, so there are only two major rules:

The story must actually warrant its NC-17 rating.  Your story can be a romance, seduction, non-con, adventure, mystery, comedy, parody, whatever you like it to be, but, in addition to being primarily SS/HG (obviously), it must actually contain enough adult content to be logically rated NC-17.

The story must be a high-quality example of your work.  The challenge is to create a story whose quality transcends the rating.  The language, plot development, characterisation and ingenuity must captivate the minds of readers.  This is a particularly good challenge for people who are shy about writing anything that would warrant an NC-17 rating.  This is your chance!  Go for it!
Other Criteria. I don't really want to do this, but I guess challenges always have goofy little things that have to be in them, so...here goes...   

Velvet.  There must be velvet somewhere in the story.

Danger.  There must be an element of danger in the piece.  It can be big or small, serious or humorous, critical or incidental to the plot, but it must be there.

Voyeurism.  There must be someone who 'likes to watch'.  Who views, and what, and in what circumstance, is up to you.
Rules. What can I say?

Please have fun.  This is a chance for authors to practice our chops and spread our wings.

Post.  At least one chapter, any length, before the deadline, in the Challenge folder; or in your own folder with a link in the Challenge folder.  Your story can be a single or multiple-chapter story, and it doesn't have to be completed before the challenge ends.

Deadline.   The Challenge Deadline is November 18, 2002.

Disclaimers. Be sure to include adequate disclaimers to prevent people from reading your story who probably shouldn't.  ;^}

The Someone Walks in Challenge:

Okay, the title could be better I know, but I think it explains the challenge fairly well.

I have been a lurker at WIKTT for sometime now, but I refrain from posting. But lately, I have been having this one scene play through my head.

Purpose of Challenge:

To write a fic, in which someone (preferably someone who would have an amusing reaction) walks in on them (HG/SS) in a compromising situation. Such as: kissing, hugging, being sprawled on top of each other, hands in inappropriate places, etc... This leads to other situations, of course. Hopefully it will be humorous, but if not who cares.

Ships:

Obviously HG/SS, but Hermione and Severus do not have to be in a relationship at the time they are seen/heard in the situation, or they can be. Whatever you want.

Any other ships you want are encouraged, but I will love you more if you throw in a little Draco/Ginny action.

How:

Do Harry and Ron sneak into Snape’s room under the invisibility cloak? Does Ginny burst into Hermione’s room? Does Draco waltz into the room and happen to see? Or

-gasp- does someone use a time turner and get thrown into the future and see something they don’t want to?

It doesn’t matter, it just has to be someone who would have a reaction that is hopefully entertaining, and hopefully very funny. Suggestions I include are: Harry, Ron, Draco, Sirius, Remus, Minerva and etc...

Requirements:

~Must be HG/SS (obviously)

~Any rating goes

~Length: It is up to the Author

~Two or more of the following phrases must be used:

“I didn’t know he/she/it could bend like that.”

“I had no idea a flask could be used in such a way.”

“I am glad Mum wasn’t here to see this... MUM?!”

“Purple Slop!”

“-Gasp- How big!”

Or

“-Gasp- How small!”

“Boxers or Briefs?”

“Was that a turkey?”

“Don’t let the cows get me!”

The Challenge ends:

March 3, 2003 so you have plenty of time to respond if you wish. ^^

Strangeness Challenge!

Okay, so here goes: Hermione drinks a potion made by none other than Neville Longbottom. She passes out. Or falls asleep, whichever you prefer. She wakes up and can’t remember a thing from the past week. So, here’s the challenge: Tell the story from Hermione’s point of view. The Hermione that woke up when the other one went to sleep…

Entry must include:
Hermione/Sevvie pairing.
Albus/Minerva pairing.
Sober Hermione with a serious case of the hots that would never happen unless she was, say, less inhibited?
One vial of putrid black liquid.
Draco Malfoy with pink hair and a lisp [somewhere in the story].
Snape in hot pants.
Hermione in an itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny yellow polka-dot bikini.
Snape doing naughty things with ice cubes [whether or not he does them to Hermione is up to you >)].
Hermione stark naked in the middle of Muggle London [optional].
Snape, victim of yet another exploding cauldron.

Entry must also include seven of the next ten quotes [they may be spoken by anyone to anyone unless otherwise specified]:
“Put that down, you greasy bastard or so help me Gods!”
“Malfoy, what are you doing with my knickers?!”
“Is there a particular reason I’m stuck to the floor?”
“What’s a banana doing here, Sir?”
“Detention, detention, detention!” - “Oh, is that like ‘Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera?’” [one quote].
“I swear to the Gods, Ronald Weasely, Hell hath no fury like Hermione Granger when she’s got her knickers in a twist!”
“I’m obviously crazy, because you’re not here!”
“What happens when there really is a blue moon?”
“Snape. Snape? Snape?! SNAPE!”
“Don’t you dare take a single bite of that Hot Fudge Sund- oh my dear sweet God-” [from Snape].

Okay, so, have fun with my newest challenge! E-mail me cerridwens_craft. Challenge ends at midnight, August 15. I’m submitting my own fic for my own challenge, so no excuses! )

The Summer School Challenge

PG-13 for mild language

 

“chal·lenge (n.)

 

1. A call to engage in a contest, fight, or competition: a challenge to a duel.

2. An act or statement of defiance; a call to confrontation: a challenge to the government's authority.

3. A demand for explanation or justification; a calling into question: a challenge to a theory.

4. A test of one's abilities or resources in a demanding but stimulating undertaking: a career that offers a challenge.”

 

Challenger: Commonly referred to as “lama”, email address to be used: “primula_burrows@hotmail.com”

 

Date:    Begun –April 4th 2004

            Ends – May 4th 2004 (All entries are to be completed and posted/emailed.  See below for further details.  Early entries welcomed.)

 

Summary:        The war has ended.  Voldie, being the pathetic sod he generally turns out to be, was naturally defeated.  However there’s a catch.  Almost all magic has begun to disappear.  Witches and Wizards everywhere are forced to live “The Muggle Way” as their ‘little sticks’ can barely perform Wingardium Leviosa.  Even Potions has begun to be affected (due to the dying out of many magical creatures and plants, not only due to lack of disillusioning charms).  There’s a rush to ready the seventh years (naturally, HP, RW, and HG) for Muggle University, and so Summer School is born.  The staff are fresh from (correspondence) teaching courses and prepared to convert their subjects to their Muggle Equivalents.  Enter Self Defense (DADA), Chemistry/Home Ed (Potions), Maths (Arithmancy), you name it!  Meanwhile an anxious Hermione makes a dash for a prestigious University (Oxford or Cambridge, perhaps?)…

 

Notes/Blatant Bribes:

 

·          Hogwarts is, essentially, falling apart.  Feel free to stick HG & SS in a floating room where all the surrounding staircases have dissolved.  If Dumbledore’s alive, he’s probably in his element.

·          Try to keep most of the characters we’ve already been introduced to in there.  Feel free to put Severus on the equivalents for DADA or Potions, however.

 

 

Freedom:

Type of Fic/genre: Anything, although humor preferred.

POV: Any

Rating: R or below.  (NC-17 “Just to be safe” may be considered, and may certainly be posted).  Please keep in mind I dislike anything that is pretty much all superfluous graphics and no plot.  Preferably, no non-consensual stuff as it is meant to lean towards a ‘light’ fic.

Setting:  Again, preferably Hogwarts, but you choose.

Death:  Try to limit this.  HG and SS cannot die, under any circumstances (that is except for, ‘And they rode off happily into the sunset, until they later died’ endings)

Length: Submitted a week before the end date, you can have any length (I’m on holidays), however closer to the challenge end date please keep them short and sweet (< 10 000-15 000).  Please note I am not expecting a big fic and these won’t necessarily be prized over small ones J.

 

Rules:

·          Must have a plot.  I know this sounds harsh, but blatant porn will not be accepted as an entry.

·          Must be creative (quite subjective, but supposed to be inspiring…)

·          Must be on time.  A few days late may be considered but no more.

·          Must be focused on a HG/SS romantic relationship, implied or otherwise (No ménage à trois, s’il vous plaît).  Intentions do not need to be clear throughout.  After all, it’s WIKTT.

·          If posting (not just emailing), please provide some reference to this challenge.

 

Brownie Points Go To People Who:

 

1.       Post on a reliable server (that you have never in all your long years seen go down and has unlimited bandwidth) or email their entry/ies to me – this means any posted only on ff.net should also be emailed to me…

2.       Take care with their presentation (…this may include fanart, a fic with working html not “” all over the place, setting out on the page/paragraphing, etc.)

3.       Present work which doesn’t need to be beta’d.

 

 

Further Notes For Those Who Decide To Do This:

 

·          Folder will be changed to "complete" approximately noon (GMT), May 4th 2004 (10 pm, Australian Eastern Standard time).

 

·          Feel free to post anywhere, but email me and tell me where!

 

·          Any questions or ambiguities please ask me!

 

·          Have fun and good luck!


· Hermione is most likely 18. By the term 'Summer School' I generally mean after the New Year/Christmas Holidays of their 7th year (in which the teachers have brushed up on their muggle equivalents...) hence the rush to make them muggle-friendly instead of NEWT-friendly... But you can put it whenever you want.

Challenge: Teacher, Teacher

Completion Date: 29 February 2004

E-mail: mizantoroopu@hotmail.com

The challenge:

Professor Severus Snape is used to being the boss – giving orders, making demands, being right. And now, Dumbledore is about to bring Snape's worst nightmare to life. Required to learn some Muggle skill by the Headmaster, for either personal or professional reasons, Snape is going to be submitting to lessons from none other than the Gryffindor Know-It-All herself.

Payback is a bitch.

In honour of the 29th of February (known to some as Sadie Hawkins Day), the day when women can traditionally propose (and the men can't decline!). Now, it's time to turn the tables, and put the pants on one Miss Hermione Granger.

The requirements:

Snape is required to learn a Muggle skill. This can be anything from how to drive a car, how to take the Tube, general Muggle relations (perhaps Snape has been made the Muggle student faculty contact?), how to use a computer, the possibilities are almost endless.
Dumbledore must be the impetus behind the lessons. We all know that meddling and mischief equals the Headmaster!
Hermione plays teacher. Her teaching style (Snape-ish, or more forgiving) and the format of the lessons are up to you.
Hermione's age is optional, though she should be of majority if you're going to have any naughty smutty goings-on.
Have fun – imagine the chance to have the most fiercesome teacher from your schooling at your mercy, completely unknowledgeable about the subject, and having to take direction from someone they've traditionally looked down on.

My challenge : The ghost challenge.

Imagine : Snape is dead. The way you want : accident, murder... But the High Authority orders him to remain as a ghost to protect Miss Granger who will be soon murdered by the deatheaters. But one day, Hermione sees Snape ( the ghost )... And then, it's up to you.

As a challenge there are some sentences to include :
"No Miss Granger, I am certain to be dead !"
"I don't think that a dead mouse would appeal to me."
"Hey ! Those are YOUR glasses !"
"You honestly can't think that I wanted that job ?!"

And now, up to you !

The challenge runs till the 8th May 2003.

Hugs,
Ripper...

[/color]The Hollow Man

 

Plot: The Final Battle has been fought, and Voldemort killed for good by Harry Potter, just as predicted. Dumbledore, however, has been missing since that day.

With the Dementors gone, the Wizengamot decide to be “creative” about the punishments inflicted to the Death Eaters who would have otherwise received their ill-fated kiss: both their powers and personalities are magically removed (the wizarding version of a strong lobotomy, if you will, leaving them only slightly better than if they had been Kissed) and they are awarded as house help to those most directly affected by the war. Unfortunately, without Dumbledore to provide favourable testimony, Fudge takes the chance to get our beloved Potions Master convicted.

Knowing the truth, Hermione, who is one of the people entitled to such “compensation” (maybe she lost her parents to a Death Eater raid, or maybe she was attacked herself, I’ll leave the reason up to you; if, by any chance, you feel you don’t want to provide it, feel free not to), decides to spare Severus the humiliation he would undoubtedly endure in the “care” of any other of his former students and requests him for herself. At some point during the time Severus is living with her, Hermione finds out that the magic and personalities of the convicts are stored in the Ministry, not unlike the prophecies in Order of the Phoenix, and she decides to break in and retrieve Severus’. After restoring him to his former self, they will need to discover what happened to Dumbledore and, if possible, get him to testify.

 

Requirements:

-          Must be Post Graduation. (We all know Harry won’t destroy Voldemort until the end of book seven.)

-          Severus must be nothing more than an automat until his self is restored – he will have no opinion, no desires or regrets, no feelings whatsoever. The procedure left him obedient and mindless.

-          Harry must help Hermione during her break-in, either personally, by lending her his cloak, or by any other way you see fit.

-          Hermione’s break-in must go unnoticed, at least for a few months.

-          Severus must believe the punishment he received to be deserved, for everything he has done in his past.

-          During the time they spend searching for Dumbledore, Hermione and Severus must develop romantic feelings for each other, although they don’t necessarily have to end up together (I do love a good happy ending, though).

 

Required scenes:

-          Hermione wondering aloud if the proud man she knew wouldn’t rather she killed him instead of allowing him to continue existing like that. (While he will have no reaction to her statement, after she restores him he will have the memory of it. What he does with it is up to you.)

-          At least one of Hermione’s former classmates visiting her and openly ridiculing Severus to his face, while he must pretend still being a hollow shell, in order not to arouse suspicions. Hermione may choose to intervene sooner or later.

 

Required sentences:

-          “Miss Granger, I don’t know who or what you have made me out to be but, let me assure you, I am first and foremost a man.”   (Severus to Hermione)

-          “Well, excuse me, Professor, if I had known you felt that way I wouldn’t have risked myself to restore your sorry ass!”   (Hermione to Severus)

-          “So beautiful… I never knew it could be beautiful…”   (Your choice)

 

I hope this challenge appeals to at least a few of you. If you have any questions, mail me. I won’t be able to answer mails on weekends, since I don’t have internet at home, but I’ll answer Mondays through Fridays. The challenge ends on February 6th, 2004 (my son’s sixth birthday).

 

The name for this challenge was taken from Marillion’s wonderful The Hollow Man, from the album Brave. The lyrics, if anyone is curious, can be found at www.marillion.com/lyrics .



Enjoy!

“The Meeting” challenge:

 

Ok so the Rules are very simple:

 

The Hogwart’s Plumbing is all messed up and somehow Hermione and Snape are forced to share a bathroom. It could be just them or all the teachers or whoever you want.  They must accidentally see each other, naked. It can be any length or rating. Posted here or there or anywhere.

 

So what happens next? Here are some things to think about:

 

What happened to the plumbing? Was it a prank?

How do the two come across each other?

Is she disgusted? Is she excited?

Does he run away? Does anything form from it, or is it a cliffhanger?

 

Put one of these Phrases in:

 

“ The room erupted like a giant Howler”

 

“ ..Showering with Snape”

 

“She shivered at the touch”

 

“…let out a piercing scream.”

 

 

Double Points if you can get all of them in there!!

 

 

Good luck, and this challenge ends 3/01/03
