Round Two ~ Future Ferret Challenges Options

[evlpez]

In order to maintain high-quality posts and stories, Project Ferret does have some entrance standards. Everyone who joins needs to be able to write English well, including correct mechanics, syntax, and word usage.

While Potterverse members are visiting our Project Ferret, they will write a submission for any one of the following "Future Ferret" Challenges. All submissions must have a unique title and be posted in this topic.



Mission Choice #1: The Snoopy Ginny Challenge

You are Ginny Weasley, at home at The Burrow. You sneak into your twin brothers' room (in spite of them having put blocking spells on the door; you're a pretty clever little witch after all). Describe what you see and what happens because of this. Aim for about 500 words, please.



Mission Choice #2: Animagi Challenge

Describe a day (or part of it) in the life of any one of the characters we know to be animagi, as they would experience it in their animal form. Your submission should be at least 500 words.



Mission Choice #3: Colin's Photo Challenge

Colin Creevey is hot in pursuit of a great picture for the school paper. Describe him trying to get the picture, the picture he eventually takes, and its significance. Remember the reporter's golden rule: Who, What, When, Where, Why, & How. Aim for about 500 words, please.



Mission Choice #4: The Quibbler Challenge

The Quibbler has a blaring headline that has all of Hogwarts murmuring as soon as the owl post arrives during breakfast. What is the headline? Write at least two paragraphs of the reported story, and then have two or more characters of your choice discuss it. Your submission should be at least 500 words.



Note to ferrets: Remember that you are writing fan fiction as though you are the Floo-Between user you've chosen. This means that if you've chosen Snape, you are writing as though Snape is writing fan fiction, not as though he is a part of the story. Each character may write as many submissions as they wish for this challenge, as long as each submission is significantly different from their others. You must choose one of the above missions for each submission. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday December 1st.

The Voting Booth for Round 2 will open on Sunday, November 7th. Click this text to go there.

Posts which are not prefaced by the Character Form will be deleted.

When you post, you'll see a button (up by the "code" and "list" buttons) that says "blank character form." If you press that button, the form will appear in your post. Just edit in your character's details and put the body of your text in the middle. If you've chosen not to use a signature for your character, delete that part of the form.

Do not edit your submissions for this challenge once they are posted in the Forum.

Scar-Head 0, Crabbe 1000000000

The scar-head freak looked at the Quibbler. He nearly wet himself, he was so scared. The headline was “Azkaban Doors Open: Death Eaters Escape.”

“Oh my goodness,” cried Scar-Head, tears of fear running down his cheeks from under his stupid glasses. “What I am going to do? Those tough Death Eaters will be after me for sure.”

“Now, my little tumple-wumpkins,” said the curly-haired buck-toothed book-loving mud-blood girl next to him. “Don’t cry. You’ve always escaped from them before.”

“Yeah,” said Scar-Head. “But I always got lucky or my beloved Dumbledore showed up to save me. Isn’t Dumbledore super-duper?”

“Well, yes,” agreed Buck-Tooth. “Maybe we should go talk to him right now, my darling.”

“Can I at least finish breakfast?” asked the shabby-looking red-head sitting with them. They waited as his stuffed the last five sausages in his mouth and then wrapped some leftovers in a napkin to send to his poor parents later, since they don’t have enough money to eat much.

As they got up to leave, the handsome Draco Malfoy, splendidly dressed in his school robes, prefect’s badge glinting in the morning light, walked up to them. Scar-Head’s knees began to shake, because he saw that Draco was accompanied by his two wicked tough pals.

“Hey, Potter,” said Draco. “I bet the Quibbler’s got you frightened, eh?”

“N-n-n-no, not at a-a-a-all,” stammered Scar-Head.

“Going to find Dumbledore, are you?” said Draco, flashing his brilliantly white teeth.

“Maybe.”

“Well,” said Draco. “You’re wasting your time. He’s in London.”

Scar-Head started to cry again. The three friends ran off to hide in Gryffindor tower with the other losers and mud-blood lovers.

As Draco and his two friends got ready to leave, a beautiful seventh-year Slytherin girl named Glenda Greenrook approached the trio. She said “hello” to Draco, but then walked over to Vincent Crabbe.

“Oh, Vince,” she said, squeezing his well-muscled arm. “Your so muscular and strong. Would you like to take a walk with me around the lake?”

“Well, sure,” replied the ever-smooth Vincent Crabbe. He and the hot chick walked out of the Great Hall as Draco turned green with jealousy.



Slytherin rokz, and I'll punch anyone who says otherwise.
