THE WIZENGAMOT CHALLENGE
 

This is set after the impending war mentioned in OotP (try to make it after graduation, but that’s your preference).  The Ministry of Magic is having something along the lines of a military tribunal or inquisition.  People are brought before the Wizengamot and charged with crimes like treason, political assassination, insubordination, etc. things like that that happened in the war.

The Accused:  Severus or Hermione must be charged with a serious war crime (preferably one from the examples above).  They can be dead or alive.

The Testimony:  The other character (whomever of the two you chose NOT to be accused) will be called to give testimony for the prosecution or defense (for or against the accused), but they must end up defending the one accused.

The Quotes:  As many of these quotes as possible must show up somewhere in the fanfic.  Preferably the Severus or Hermione as the one testifying, but if you feel the quotes would be better elsewhere in your fic by all means be creative.
“Because he/she was with me.”
“I told him/her it was a bad idea.”
“He/She lied to me…he/she lied to everyone.”
“He/She always eats chocolate after insert activity here.”

Other Accounts
At least two of the following must be called to give testimony (for or against the accused) as well:
                   Harry Potter
                   Ron Weasley
                   Rubeus Hagrid
                   Remus Lupin
                   Narcissa Malfoy
                   Draco Malfoy
                   Molly Weasley
Notes
Try to keep the story centered on the trial.  One shots or chapters are all good.  This challenge has been extended and will be closed November 27th (my birthday).

Happy quills!

Worlds Apart/Alan Rickman Movie Challenge
By the_cutter82
 
My first challenge, so be gentle with me.

Pairing: Well, duh! Snape and Hermione obviously. (Bonus points if you have Sirius and Remus as a couple, especially if they act very effeminately and OC as this is always good for a laugh. This is not a requirement though.)
Title: The Worlds Apart/Alan Rickman Movie Challenge.
Rating: PG13 to NC-17. Personally, I favour the higher ratings, as I feel there's more scope for creativity, and less censorship to worry about. However, any rating is welcome.
Length: 9 inches.. hard.. err, sorry. *grins* Any length at all.
Deadline: If you're writing a one-shot story, then the deadline is April 10th 2003. If you, (like I intend to,) are writing a novel length fic, then the first chapter must be up by that date also.
Plot.
Hermione has come back to Hogwarts as the new Muggle Studies Professor. She has ideas to shake up the syllabus, and organises a trip in the first week of term for her 7th Year students to London. They stay in a muggle hotel for a weekend and plan to observe muggle behaviour. Inevitably, Snape is roped into attending as a chaperone, along with Remus Lupin (who is the DADA teacher again) and Sirius Black, who teaches Transfiguration, so that McGonagall can concentrate on her Advanced Class.

The story can begin and end wherever you desire. However, Snape and Hermione MUST have a romantic tryst over the weekend. Where it leads is up to you. It can be a one-night stand that ends horribly, or the beginnings of true love.

REQUIREMENTS.
The story MUST contain at least THREE of the following lines. (In case anyone was wondering where the Alan Rickman movie bit came into the challenge, look no further.) These are all lines spoken by the man himself in his various roles. Snape does NOT have to be the one to speak them. Chocolate frogs for anyone who gets them all in.
"What idiot put you in charge?" (Die Hard)
"Excuse me, I have to go pray." (Bob Roberts)
"I won't, and nothing you say will make me." (Galaxy Quest)
"I say we get drunk, because I'm all out of ideas." (Dogma)
"Ha-ha-ha. I have retinal damage. Isn't that hilarious." (Dark Harbor)
"My mother does not have a beard!" (Truly, Madly, Deeply.)
"Give me an occupation, or I shall run mad." (Sense and Sensibility)
"The Benefits of a classical education." (Die Hard)
"Damn, this is good tequila." (Dogma)
"I see you've managed to get your shirt off." (Galaxy Quest)
"Because it's dull you twit, it'll hurt more!" (Robin Hood)

If you get the following in, then you are a God(dess). It's a twist on the line in Dogma, when Bethany asks the Metatron what God is like. Obviously, Snape is joking, and is making use of that biting sarcasm of his.

Hermione: What's he like? Voldemort?
Snape: Lonely, but funny. He's got a great sense of humour.

At least TWO of the following events must occur. If you include them all, you're a genius.

*A student causes mayhem by doing magic where they shouldn't
*On the weekend, the group visit either, a cinema, an art gallery, a museum, or a department store (one that sells everything.)
*Someone ends up in Soho unintentionally. (For non-Brits, it's an area of London rife with sex shops and strip clubs.) Bonus points if they actually buy something rude, not knowing what it is.
*Someone makes a faux-pas, such as trying to pay for something in wizarding money, ordering a butterbeer, or wanting to know why the stairs in the hotel don't move.
*Someone dresses badly in their attempt to be inconspicuous among muggles.
*Someone dismantles something they shouldn't to see how it works.
*Someone turns out to have a paralysing fear of a muggle object they've never seen before.. a toaster, or a TV, anything.
*Someone receives an owl while somewhere innapropriate, e.g. the dinner table, and it causes mayhem.

Well, that's all. I know it seems like a lot of guidelines, but it's not really. I just have lots of silly ideas.

PS - Anyone who's not from the UK, don't be put of by the fact I've picked London. I intend to write my fic so that it features as an anonymous large city. I don't expect anyone non-UK to bother with details. Just write it as you would imagine any major city to be. I don't want anyone put off by it, because I'd love to see everyone's efforts.

Have Fun!

Writer’s Block Challenge
Brought to you by VenusDeMilo

Plot holes getting you down?  Are you frustrated by that time-line you just can’t seem to fix?  Having trouble with that last bit of dialogue?  It seems that the one thing that all WIKTTers have in common, besides a diehard devotion to the good ‘ship, is writer’s block… and we seem to have it in abundance.  So, if you’re stuck for a story, or just can’t seem to finish the one you’ve got, take a break and channel your creative energy into something new… the Writer’s Block Challenge!!!

The Premise:  The premise of this challenge is simple: like so many of her fans at WIKTT, our dear Hermione has fallen into the desolate hole of writer’s block, and can’t seem to pull herself out.  Your duty, dear author, is to get her back on track, by any means necessary.

The Rules:
Student Hermione’s writing must be something other than homework.  Post-Hogwarts Hermione must be some sort of professional writer (journalist, novelist, lyricist, etc. you decide).
Severus must be a main character, though whether he be muse or distraction I leave to you.
Hermione must try, and fail at, at least one “cure” for writer’s block.
At least one of the following must be used:
a. “I made mashed potatoes.”  / “Yes… and muffins.”
b.  Someone starting a blank piece of paper/parchment/computer screen that stares back.
c.  Large quantities of bubbles… extra points if used for drama or angst.
d.  A table overturned in anger… extra points if it’s the table that’s angry.
e.  “The children…. My god won’t somebody think of the children.”
f.  “Oh my god, there’s an orgy in my mouth!”

The story should end with Hermione engrossed in writing.

Failure to comply will result in something… uh… terrible…

Deadline:  All entries must have the first chapter dated by November 20, 2003.

"You Ain't My Daddy!" Challenge
By Severely Snaped
 
"You Ain't My Daddy!"
You ain't my Daddy---Shut up!
You ain't my Daddy---Shut up!
I'm gonna tell yo' mama! (Tell my mama!)
Gonna call yo' mama! (Call my mama!)
You so bad!
I'm so bad---you just mad 'cuz you ain't my Daddy!
----"Step Daddy" by Hitman 'Sammy' Sam

I know---crazy WIKTT challenge, huh? But I thought this might be a lil' different. Okay, boys and girls and Slytherins (and a few Ravenclaws...), here's the premise:
Severus Snape becomes a step-dad to Hermione's kid(s). 'Nuff said. The story must center around Hermione's constant need for someone to watch or discipline her unruly brat. I don't care who the father is or the circumstances behind it---that's all up to YOU!
The word "wookie" must be mentioned at some point.
Filch has to baby-sit at least once (not by choice on either party!)
Severus does not like children...just joking, that's pretty much a given, huh?!

The text must contain three (or more) of the following phrases:
"Yes, I know why tigers eat their young---I just cannot fathom putting something that disgusting in my mouth!"
"You ain't my daddy!"---or for the more proper English dialect, "You're not my father!"
"So help me God, I will beat you like a red-headed step-child!" (although the kid in question does NOT have to be red-headed, mind you!)
"Does this look like a daycare to you?"
"This is all your fault, Ronald Weasley!"
"That is a 'cauldron', it's not a pail and shovel!"
"...probably gets it from his/her father!"
"They never tell you about these things in school."
"Gee, you're swell!"
"Why doesn't my sandcastle look like that?"
"Mr. Potter, you really piss me off sometimes---but I love you anway."
"I am not putting that thing ANYWHERE near me!"
"Has anyone seen my Tonka truck/Powerpuff Girl?"
"I don't like you any further than I can throw you!"
"He thinks I'm playin' with him, and I'm NOT!"

Soooo, there you have it. Have fun. Run with it...give it life. Make me proud. *sniff!* *wipes away tear*
Good luck and have FUN!
Sincerely, Severely Snaped

The challenge:
Severus is forced to develop and test a youth elixir! Now we have a sexy Potions Master in his early twenties

After the war Hermione returns to Hogwarts as a teacher. Severus tries everything to make her fall in love with him.

You should include at least two of the following quotes:

"You look like something the cat brought in."
"Two's company, three's a crowd"
"Look a those love handles!"
"No, I'd rather marry the next person which comes round the corner."

Please choose one of these options:
a: He decides to hide the fact that he is now a young attractive guy and uses a charm to appear as the usual "greasy bat".
b: He decides to let the person "Severus Snape" die and goes into hiding. After the war he returns under false identity (as a close relative, like son or nephew) and meets Hermione in Hogwarts.
And as usually the headmaster knows everything and plays his own game ;-)

**************************************
Thanks for your attention, I hope you like this challenge. If you think it's bloody awful, please leave a note here!
serpentissima

So, you don't like my challenge? I don't hope so, maybe you are all under stress now that Christmas is coming soon.

As I like the idea of a young Severus really very much, I decided to write a story
about that by myself. Unfortunately my English is not very good and I've never
written a fanfiction before. So I am going to write this in German - I'm sorry.

A Proper Detention Fic
By shiv5468
So, this is one of the Classics of the ship, and I can't think of one that's really well written. So the challenge is to write The Detention Fic, the one that everyone will still be talking about in two years time, and will be standard by which all Detention Fics will be judged. These requirements were worked out by me and my Friends on my Livejournal – so it's a pretty comprehensive list.
So, the basic requirement is that Hermione shall have Detention with Snape and be shagged into the middle of next week.
The second requirement is that it should be hot enough to melt the screen, and if it is printed out will cause the paper to spontaneously combust.
To avoid the issues about the morality of student-teacher sex, it is almost her last day in school, and the exams are over and marked. (Unless you want to explore that dynamic of course).
My personal preferences on this are:
1. Hermione shall not trip along to the detention in the expectation of a shag. She will be expecting detention. She is most likely rather annoyed about getting detention. This will mean she gets a Lovely Surprise. She will also be attending wearing all her underwear, and regulation robes and skirt length.
2. The Detention will not consist of Professor Snape getting Hermione to bend over to clean a cauldron such that he can ogle her firm, ripe, melony, pert, cute, rounded, whatthehellever buttocks. Nor will there be a cliched sentence about Severus realizing that Hermione has grown into a woman, with accompanying descriptions of "curves in all the right places".
3. The sex will be physically possible. Severus will be a normal length and size and colour. There should be no extra pairs of hands, impossibly long fingers reaching into wombs. There will be no kissing until the parties are unable to breathe – that is what noses are for. If necessary draw a diagram and work out who is doing what to whom, and how. Illustrations are always welcome, for those who like to draw.
4. Hermione will not be a virgin, therefore she will not be shocked at what she finds under those robes, although she may be pleasantly surprised. Neither will Severus be a virgin. We don't need to know who their previous shags were, and there shall be no references to Ron didn't manage to make her feel like this (even though I've done that myself). Severus is however a Sex God, otherwise what is the point. (Unless someone fancies a comic version, hmmmm, maybe I'll write one.)
5. Hermione still has frizzy hair and not cascading curls. Severus still has a big nose. His hair might not be greasy – as he could have had a wash before the shag – but it will not be silky close up, gosh, everyone has been wrong about his hair all along.
6. Forbidden Phrases. There will be no:
· feminine cores;
· throbbing manhoods, rods, shafts, or anything that sounds like it belongs on a car.
· Purple-headed love-mushrooms;
· Shutters - they are large wooden objects on houses, and nothing to do with sex at all. Shudder is allowable but why not try something new – trembling, shivering, quivering, quaking, etc;
· No Sev, Sevvie, Sevviekins, Greasy Git, Know-it-all, overgrown bat – I'm tired of seeing them;
· Severus will not announce to Hermione that she is so hot and tight, when sliding his throbbing manhood between her slick folds (and there's another, no slick folds, in fact no folds at all); and preferably should not announce that she is all wet for him, unless this is done with style and flair. Some authors have managed to do this; most haven't;
· No releasing a breath she didn't know she had been holding;
· Neither should Hermione lap up his ejaculate eagerly, and he definitely shouldn't be lapping up his own ejaculate - some of us read this stuff in the mornings and eat porridge and that kind of visual can result in people being unable to write smut for simply weeks

[/size]Closing date: 18th July 2004. If you miss it, post anyway.

My challenge is :

Lose plot:
Hermione and Severus fall in love.
Hermione gets pregnant she dies the child survives,
Severus is broken but pulls it together for the sake of their child. 
After fifteen years Hermione appears pregnant. Everything ends beautifully.

Specifications:

Must be set in the seventh year.

Voldemort is still about and getting stronger and more focused on Hogwarts.

Malfoy is very unhappy with Hermione making Severus happy,
and would like himself and Hermione to get together so he doesn’t have to work for Voldemort.

Hermione uses a time turner to save herself and the unborn child.
but with the difficulties of time travel she takes fifteen years to come back,
and the sex of the baby is changed.

Hermione turns up in Severus’s rooms, still looking as old as she did when she died.

Severus can either accept her with open arms or not,
but when she first appears he is all over her.

The Lemon Meringue Challenge
by Leogryffin

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!
