Thanks! How many points do you get for placing in the top three in Round One?

[evlpez]

Each poll will list the screen names of all participants in a category. You will only be able to choose one screen name as your favorite choice for each. The top three screen names will earn Ferret Points for their creators.

• The top placing choices in each poll will earn 10 Ferret Points
  
• The second placing choices in each poll will earn 8 Ferret Points
  
• The third placing choices in each poll will earn 6 Ferret Points

So, if one wins ferret points in the Characters voting, those will count for the final amount of points a person has no? Also, if I recall well, it was stated that even though you might have multiple characters, only the character which has got the highest mark will "give" you points, isn't that right?

[McGonagall's Cat]

If you've posted more than one submission for your character(s), the highest ranking submission is the one counted... BUT, the advantage of writing for more than one character is that you get the points from the highest sub of each of your characters.

Let's say you are writing for Hippogriff_rider and Tower_Dweller. Each of them posted three subs in all the rounds. Your total points are the highest scoring sub in each round, added together.
Round One has 5 categories to score points in
In Rounds Two, Three, and Four you get your one top score in each toward your total.

Oh, I get it now! Thanks! :flower:

If I might ask yet another question...in the Quidditch Match submission, must the outcome of the match be decided, that is, one must say if either Slytherin on Gryffindor won?

[evlpez]

No, though one may. It's pretty open; you only need to show what a character (or characters) experiences from his/her location and what they plan or do to help either team. If you want to write straight through to the conclusion of the match, you may, but it's not required.

The Floo-Between Chat and Character Profiles topics will be closed in about an hour.

[evlpez]

The Floo-Between Character Profiles and Floo-Between Chat topics are now closed.

Five polls have been put up in the Floo Between Cross-Over Forum.
You may select only one of the listed choices as your favorite for each poll.
Please review the Chat and Profiles topics to choose your favorite chat performance, screen name, avatar, signature and overall profile.

The polls will close at noon Central, December 5th (11 days from now).

In each poll, the three names with the most votes will earn Ferret Points as follows:

• The top placing choices in each poll will earn 10 Ferret Points
• The second placing choices in each poll will earn 8 Ferret Points
• The third placing choices in each poll will earn 6 Ferret Points

The top placing choices in each poll will win a 2005 Harry Potter wall calendar!

No new participating characters will be accepted. Only those writers who have already submitted characters to the Profiles Topic may continue to participate in the Fiction Challenges (Rounds 2, 3 & 4).

Submissions for Rounds 2, 3, and 4 will be accepted until noon Central time, December 1st (one week from now), and the voting booths will remain open until noon Central, December 5th.

Good luck, fellow Ferrets!

I'm still suprized that nobody chose Peter Pettigrew as a character. I would have, but then I'd have ended up talking to myself at an extraordinarily unhealthy rate. Ah, well. It would have been an interesting character to see done. ... Unless it WAS and I just didn't 'get' it.
Vote Early. Vote often.

[cherabela]

It has been great seeing how amazingly the characters interacted together. Well done everyone!!!! :flower:

[evlpez]

Reminder:

There are only three days left for submissions in rounds 2, 3 and 4 of the Floo-Between Duel!

[evlpez]

The Fiction Rounds will close to submissions in 24 hours.

If you have works in progress for The Future Ferret Challenge, The Magic Box or The Quidditch Match, be sure to finish them up and post before noon Central time tomorrow.

These rounds have submissions awaiting votes! Please go to the Voting Booth and rate your fellow ferrets' stories. The link is in my signature.

[evlpez]

Pardon my last post.

The Project Ferret Administrative Team have elected to extend the Floo Between submissions deadline to midnight Wednesday night. You have twelve whole extra hours to polish those submissions, fellow ferrets!!!

Are we cool, or what?!

[cherabela]

If I might ask, how many hours are there left till midnight of your time? See 'cause my time zone is one hour after the GMT(or before I always get them confused!) and I tried changing the time zone, but they're GMT + or -.
