Title: As I Lose Myself Rating: G Characters: Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Surprise Canon Character. Author's Notes:I have to apologise in advance – this was edited after a very nice dinner and several large glasses of wine. Also, there was no way this was going to work as a 30 minute fic. Whether it becomes anything else remains to be seen.
Title: Last Stand Rating: PG Characters: Severus Snape Author's Notes: A lot of firsts: First time I have written with a time limit (it took me at least 40 minutes), the first story I have written in two years (I feel a little rusty), and it's my first story in the Harry Potter fandom (I signed up for the SSHG exchange and thought I should practise. Ahem.)
Title: Summer storm Rating: G Characters: Severus Snape, Hermione Granger Author's Notes: I won't lie, this took at least forty minutes. It's written in the present tense, so I've rather cheekily change the first line from "It was raining," to "It's raining." Hope this still counts!
Title: Rain Down Rating: PG Summary: The view from Dumbledore's Portrait. A/N) It's been YEARS since I've posted here, so I'm past due. ;) Also I'm afraid I didn't edit much so please excuse any blatant errors. (Excuse them, but please point them out! Haha)
(Edited out some boo-boos and repetitive words. ;) )
Title: Falling Rain (Incredibly original and inspired, considering what the challenge was haha XD) Rating: T Challenge: #183 Characters: Draco/Hermione Word Count: 1012 Time: 40 minutes :/ Summary: Hermione waits anxiously while Draco attempts to escape from his death-eater infested home.
This community has been extremely quiet the past few months, but I decided to write a fic anyways. This is the first thing I have written in a year. I can't believe I let myself slip away for that long. Anyways, I hope people here are still reading this community, and hopefully my post will help revive it!
Title: It Was All True Rating: PG Challenge: #183 Characters: Remus Lupin Word Count: 381 Time: 35 minutes
Title: I'm calling it "History repeating?" for the time being Summary: Some things never change. But Potions lessons can have unexpected endings. Rating: G Characters: Severus Snape, Hermione Granger Words: 750 Author's Notes: I haven't written a one-shot in a while, and I thought the exchange had completely killed my muse for the moment. But this came to mind when I read the challenge, and I thought I might revive Severus to do my part in reviving the community. I'm still an SS/HG shipper at heart. ;-)
In a library mailing list somebody asked for libraries that offer programmes of any kind for fanfic writers. Mostly, they were interested in examples from Germany, but when I asked they said they'd be very grateful for information on other countries.
So here's my question: do you know libraries that offer programmes for fanfiction writers? Have you as writers participated in such programmes, has your library offered them?
Any information would be helpful. Please spread the word!
Is this com not getting challenges any more due to the release of DH? It's a shame to see it innactive for so long - I say we resurrect it!
Title: Untitled for the moment Summary: Eighteen, Remus decided, was far too silly an age to be a virgin. Rating: PG-13 Characters: Remus Lupin, Sirius Black Words: 1352 Author's Notes: It`s been a while since I`ve written anything at all.. It feels quite good to be back!
Title: Time and Distance Rating: PG-13 Paring: Tonks/Remus Author's Notes: Unbeta'd. Written in less than thirty minutes. Encouraged to post by a friend.
Title: Moonlight Discoveries Rating: PG-13 for mild sexual content, slash Characters: Harry, Remus/Sirius Author's Notes: I used the seventh chapter, seventh sentence from the American edition of Order of the Phoenix-- "He did not stir as Harry crossed the room, stepped out onto the landing, and closed the door behind him."

Title: Taboo Rating: Probably a PG-13, for somewhat crude subject matter Characters: Draco Malfoy, Peter Pettigrew, Bellatrix Lestrange Author's notes: Less than half an hour. Very slightly spoilery for DH. Devilishly poor taste. *pokes community* Is this comm still going properly, I haven't seen a challenge released for ages!
Title: Me and my girl Rating: PG Pairings: The Dark Lord and his signifcant other Author's Notes: Took just a wee bit longer than the thirty minutes, it needed some editing, and a bit of quick reserch.
Title:Finding Out True Love is Blind Rating: G Characters: Victoire Weasley & Teddy Lupin Author's Notes: I haven't posted anything in this community in awhile, and I had some time before work today, so I looked through past challenges and picked this. The random elements include a clock, a candle and a kiss. I hope everyone likes it.
Title: A Well-Qualified Witch Contains DH spoilers Rating: G Characters: Dolores Umbridge, Percy Weasley Author's notes: 25 minutes, this took me. I felt like writing something with a little bit of wicked humour in it.
