[timeturner]

WooHoo! I love Duel times. Can't wait to see what you come up with Ferrets!

[timeturner]

Great start Chad13! I loved the way you chose the house Lupin would be hiding in. Nice job tying in all of the details about the Tri-Wizard Tournament and Sirius too. I wanna know what that owl was about!

[McGonagall's Cat]

Chad13 continues to hold the title of world's fastest poster!

Excellent!

[lupinsmyman]

Gah! I'm getting started late! I will make a post though! I must!

We have until Wednesday, right?

[McGonagall's Cat]

Yes, Lupins. You have until Wednesday at 9pm Central Time Zone.

[Amunet]

Ahhh I must do this ... I havn't written anything in a while ... so I may be a bit rusty

Question

In the rules it says that we can chose a character (or two) to write in our story. Does this mean we can write one story about Char. 1 and then a seperate story with Char. 2 or can we put both Char. 1 and 2 in the same story?

Thanks

And I actually squeeled while reading about this duel, my family looked at me funny XD

Edit

Question 2

I just want to make sure I understand this:

At the end of the Duel, the Stoat with the most plausible and intelligent comments that include the word "Kneasle" while commenting on the various entries by the Ferrets, will be awarded a House Crest Journal!

So this means that we may comment on other people's stories in this discussion while using the word "Kneasle" in an intelligent AND plausible way? Is this correct?

[McGonagall's Cat]

Great questions. Since I didn't have any even marginal answers I sent a memo to the DoM.

The Department of Mysteries said that the "character (or two)" was for any particular story.
Then pick another (or two) for the next story, and so forth.


The Journal is for the Stoat level of membership - BUT - if that's the item that really excites you, we might be abel to find another under a sofa cushion or behind the dustbin. We could send out the search nifflers and see what they come up with.

And, yes - the Stoat has to work the word "Kneasle" into their comments in a way that doesn't just list it or be silly (like replacing any noun with "kneasle") gets points for doing so.

[lupinsmyman]

I already have one of those journals...but of course its filled with 4th grader hand writing..

Note: Isn't Isn't ''kneasle'' spelled "kneazle"?

[Amunet]

Oh! Okay, that clears it up ... so I can use two people in one story, yay.

Stoat is that one level that I'm not right? Haha okay, I'll still use it anyways just to challenge myself

[timeturner]

You're right Amunet. You are a ferret not a stoat. Stoat is a status that we give to members who want to peruse the boards and post in limited areas. Stoats can read and vote for contest entries, but you must be a Ferret to write.

And yes Lupins, you are also right. Kneazle is spelled with a Z. Fine proofreading.

[Amunet]

TimeTurner - Do you mean persue the boards?

Chad13 - I really enjoy your story, very nicely written

Lupinsmyman - That is an interesting house! The imagery (sp?) is wonderful and I bet the bones are chicken bones


I did a different technique for my writing ... it just sorta popped out of me. I think this round oiled me up a bit

[timeturner]

No, I mean peruse


Great job on your subs lupinsmyman and Amunet. Those were most fun to read and a very good excuse to start working late.

[timeturner]

Ferrets who are still interested in posting one or more submissions this round had better hop to it! The sub deadline is tonight!

In case you are wondering, the secret character is still out there lurking somewhere. (Or so we are told.)

[Department_of_My...]

Entries for Round One are now closed.


They are all OUTSTANDING!

Be sure to vote. Each sub is SO unique that this story has the potential to be wonderful in many different directions!
