So you've been in The First Kiss Project. You've done the First Time Bad Sex. You've remixed and you've played with a Week of Weasleycest.

Now, the jockish minds of [info]spacebrat and [info]stoptocheer bring you:

You Shoot We Score: the Quidditchfic Challenge

That's right, a challenge about sport. Quidditch. The one thing there simply isn't enough of in this fandom.

We simply want you to write a fic about Quidditch. Now, of course, we're not ruling out smut or pairings or anything of the such, we love jocklove as much as everyone, but in this challenge, Quidditch has to be the focus.

Take a canon Quidditch player (like the WoW03, we'd prefer people to take different characters, but repeats are, of course, sometimes necessary) and write about them.

The Rules:

1. Pick a character (or a team, or simply multiple characters) from the list below. Comment to this post with who you'd like to write about, and we'll strike it off.

2. Your submission must be at least 500 words long, and well beta-read.

3. The due date for submissions is 1 October, 2003. If this doesn't suit, we may accept heavy-handed bribery for extensions.

4. Quidditch must be the main focus of the story. Relationships, character death, whatever - it takes a backseat to Quidditch this time around. THIS DOES NOT MEAN NO SMUT/SLASH/HOTJOCKLOVE. It just means that the *focus* of the fic is Quidditch. Kind of like Oliver Wood in a way - he does other stuff, but the point of his life is Quidditch.

5. At least one canon Quidditch player must be involved.

6. The story must take place primarily on the Quidditch pitch, in the locker room or another location that is Quidditch-oriented.

7. Submissions can be sent to youshoot_wescore@yahoo.com, using an HTML template we'll provide at a later date.

And now...


Gryffindor

Notes about Gryffindor: Oliver Wood leaves in PoA, Fred/George/Angelina/Alicia in OotP. It is implied that Katie Bell is a year below F/G/A/A. They win the Quidditch Cup in PoA and OotP. Ginny mentions intending to trial for Chaser the year after OotP.

Slytherin
Notes about Slytherin: In CoS it is stated that they are an all-male team. In PoA the replacements for the final match are picked for size. Pucey was one of the replaced players. Malfoy replaces Higgs as Seeker during CoS. Flint leaves in PoA; later editions of PS/SS state he is the same age as Oliver Wood, while earlier prints name him as one year older, and JKR said he had failed a year. In movie-canon Bletchley is female, however, OotP mentions Miles Bletchley - male. Bole and Derrick both leave school in GoF. Slytherin win the Quidditch Cup in PS/SS.

I'll definitely pass the word around! Quick question though, before I sign up, smut is allowed, right?

I'm likely blind.

Yup, smut's fine, as long as the focus of the fic is still Quidditch. *g* *edits post to be clear*

Umm...hallo :)

I know Remus Lupin isn't on the list, but someone said I ought to at least link you folks to Remus Lupin's Seventh Year Quidditch Essay that I finished a few days ago. It's a bit naughty, as a warning, but I'm sure the Quidfans will enjoy it :) If it's acceptable as a submission, I'd like to submit it; if not, then I hope it's enjoyable anyhow :)

The story doesn't have to revolve around their school days, does it? Say if I wanted... Charlie Weasley (which I do, *snaches him*) the story doesn't necessarily have to take place while he was on the Quidditch team, or does it?

Also, are we allowed more than one fic? Because I'm also interested in writing about Krum (seprately) if that's cool.

[info]stoptocheer

Nope, it can be set any time, as long as it takes place predominantly in a Quidditch-oriented setting. :) And yes, allowed more than one fic, and I've signed you up for both. :)
