Alternative Perspectives, Sign-Up and Discussion Options

[moonbeam3243]

I have been staring at this section of the forum for a while, wondering when we'd be able to get a proper Order of the Ferret started. Then, around 3am, I jumped out of bed with this idea that--in my humble opinion--rocks [You know you're a HPaholic when you jump out of bed at 3am with fanfic ideas]

Your mission, if you choose to accept it...

1) Pick a character, any character (but not Harry or a character someone else signed up for)
2) Retell key points from the first HP book from the perspective of that character


To keep this in guidelines with the "order" rules (as opposed to first come, first serve in Ferret Wheel), we can all each sign up for a character and stick with that character for each scene. For example, I'm going to sign up for Ron, and for each of the scenes in this series, I will write from Ron's point of view. If you'd like to do more than one, that's cool.

I suggest that we do three scenes, one per week, at least to start.

*Tentative schedule: Sign-ups till this Saturday, then one story per week by each following Saturday. Good?

I think any length or format would be fine.

It may help people decide what three scenes we should do, so here's what I'm thinking. Again, I'm flexible on this.

1) The first day (Hogwarts Express, sorting)
2) Halloween (remember the troll?)
3) Sometime during the trio's forray into the bowels of Hogwarts (depending on character, this could change. I.e. Ron would start from his adventure, but if someone picks Draco, this could be told as an aftermath tale)



I'll edit this post as people sign up so that this will be the official list of who's who.


List of Characters
Moony will write for Ron
Pinkpanther will write for the troll and/or Hermione
Ron's My Man will write for Quirrel
Quant will write for Crabbe/Goyle and Draco on a modified schedule
Bakbam will write for Professor Snape and Neville
SiriuslyIrish will write for Dumbledore
Zymurgy will write for Hedwig (tentative)
McGonagal's Cat will write for Hagrid, the big oaf

Yay! OK, post below who you'd like to sign up for!

If we do Halloween, can I be the troll?
If not, I would be content to settle for Hermione, I suppose.
