Oooh this is an AWESOME idea! Good job, Fan Fic/DP people!

I'm so entering this. I like that there's no limit, too? :upside:

Not per individual member ^_^ just character/pen name. Which really means you can submit as many unique articles as you wish.

So, if I use myself as an example, Airey Flamsteed could write ONE article, Kurumi Hollingberry could write ONE article, Aron Ashburry-Hawthorne could write ONE article, [insert pen name here] could write ONE article and so on and so on.

Looking forward to your submission(s?):x3:

Oh Submission(s), no doubt. ;) Gotcha! :D :D :D

I've got some ideas... now let's see if I can manage the time up to put those ideas into words worthy of submission .... :shifty:

some strong voices in my head too. Maybe that's why i've got a headache :mellow:

Super excited about this, can't wait to see all the awesome submissions!

Weeeeee!

....one word. AWESOMENESS.

Oh gosh you guys this might actually be the coolest competition I've seen here EVER.

:x3: Time to put on the thinking cap!

Super excited about this! :x3:

I can't wait to see all the submissions. Good luck everyone!

Ooh, cool idea! I'm soooo gonna enter! *bounces*

Wonderful idea!

Awesome! Hopefully I'll have time :/ *eyes all the stuff I wanna do before I go back to Uni*

This looks like so much fun :)

This looks awesome :)

Looks awesome! Might enter if I find the time..Or inspiration

This is a great idea. *nod nod*

Good job, DP peoples. I hope I'll have time to submit something.

I just submitted. Good luck to everyone and ifgwjejw :whaa:

That was just because I felt like it :lol:

I might actually have to do this. ^_^

I might have to write another one ;D

This looks cool. :)

I had a question that may sound a little silly, but can student characters from Hogwarts write articles too, or just adults? Thanks in advance!

There is no age limitation to this contest, so your student character is OF COURSE welcome to and encouraged to submit an article:loved:

Must the articles be HP/SS canon or are we allowed to make things up?

Yes and no. Yes your article must follow HP/SS canon (you cannot make up that there is a muggle Headmaster at Hogwarts right now for example) but you still have creative range to create your own news but must be relevant to the current IC year as stated in the rules:yes:

If you have further questions as to whether or not a topic fits this description or if you are on the right path, please do not hesitate to PM me ^_^

Uhm........ HOW did I not see this sooner? Thanks to Pixie for linking it on Twitter. I hope I can bust one out tomorrow! Got a good idea, maybeee.
