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.

Comments on the story Anticipation

cherabela commented:
This is amazingly describtive, though I'm still a bit confused on the "Two more days" part.

McGonagall's Cat commented:
It took me a really really really long time to figure out who you were writing as (I finally had to PM others on it until someone came up with who it was supposed to be. Too subtle, detracts from the mission). <br /> <br />That said, I'd think Remus would still be torn up at the loss and have a tough time writing about his buddy...I guess I'd expect that emotional loss in there at least a bit. Though he'd certainly understand the exhillaration of running and animalism.
