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.

Weird or Feared?


I arrived in front of the twins’, who act like bins, room, and checked that nobody was there, because I am very sneaky and cheeky, like the freaky Mrs Norris. I threw a stinking pellet, since I am no helot, but it rebounded on me, and I was like a stinking ferret. They had put a spell to make my life hell, on the door. Stinking like the poo in the loo, I took out my wand like an ugly-looking Gond, and removed the hinges from the door. Dare they say I’m the youngest anymore?

I entered the room like a beaver, as if I had buck fever, and so I snooped and looped around the room. The lamp, which seemed rather damp, was lying on the floor, although it had never been there before. Pig, the owl in a wig, was hooting in the air, as if he were at a fair, although he should have been in Ron’s room, which resembles a tomb.

On the desk there was a box, which seemed to have got chicken pox, a hat, which sang, “Rat-tat-tat”, and a mere sphere.

I decided to try the hat; at least it would not attack like a pocket rat. I went in front of the mirror, to see how I looked. The mirror cried, “Aaargggh!!! Hide, ride, moon and pride!! Run away without delay!! You are ugly and look so smugly!” I looked in the mirror, and found I had no head. So why was I not dead? Ah! It belonged to Fred, or was it Gred instead? I removed the headless hat, which started to laugh and jest at me. I threw it out of the window, and said, “Tit for tat, you smelly sand rat!”

I took the sphere, which smelled a bit of beer, and opened it without any fear. Why should it be so queer? Then I find that I was blind, and soon was squashed like an orange rind. Yucky goo came out all blue, sticking like brand-new glue. It covered me before Peeves can say, “Wee!” and I couldn’t move, although I did not approve. I fell to the floor, in the time you count till number four. The goo would not just shoo, but it continued to brew and so it grew.

I was stuck, like an ugly looking duck. This was certainly no bad luck! The twins had thought of it, you must admit! I tried to sit, but although I was fit, all I could do was spit. And they came and laughed; poor them they are so daft. They left me there, to lie and stare! Couldn’t they at least have given me a chair? But I will not despair, because this is certainly unfair! I will get loose, but there will be no truce. I’ll get revenge, and so avenge the fix in which I got, which for them will never rot.
