banner by renrenren3

Hi everyone! I'm Johanna //

monkiainen of Hufflepuff and I will be your mod again for term 42!

Membership in Sugarquill is open to the public, so you do not need to be a member of

hogwartsishome to post your fic/art, review others', and participate in any non-points-earning activities. However, only

hogwartsishome members can participate in Writer’s Block challenges and earn points for their house. If you are interested in joining, you can fill out an application and get sorted at

platform_934.

Just a friendly reminder that if you have earned points for something elsewhere in HiH, you cannot submit it again here. You can only earn points for fic/art once.

Remember that any sigtag you use must be 100px height or less. Please check out the profile page for more information about general facts and posting guidelines.

Comments and suggestions can be left here in a comment (all are screened), or you can contact me via one of the following ways:

I shall inaugurate then! I hope lots of people participate because this is really fun!

Just so you know, this game was first given to me on a French site, where the word total was changed from 15 in English to 20 in French. I put if back to 15 for this, since that was apparently the original limit, but as a consequence a few of these fics are slightly over 15 words, since they were a tad longer in French and got even worse when translated. I hope you'll forgive me!

2. Peeves
3. Sirius Black
4. Ariana Dumbledore
5. Ellie Cattermole
6. Bill Weasley
7. Gabrielle Delacour
8. Blaise Zabini
9. Lavender Brown

1- Write down the names of 10 different characters.

2- Write a 15-word fic for each prompt, using the characters corresponding to the numbers given. Don't read the prompts before writing down your list for step 1!

Saturday Special: October 2.0

banner by renrenren3

Rules:

1. You must use the prompt below
2. You will have 48 hours to submit your work. Fics or art must be posted by 11:59pm UTC on Sunday, October 14 (Timezone Converter)
3. For the underlying piece, point calculations shall follow the regular Sugarquill point schedule (word/30; quality of art). However, per the (b) exception to Rule 3, Rule 3(b)(1) Saturday Specials are not subject to the cap. They are a bonus challenge worth 10 extra points and added at the end of the month. Meaning, while the underlying work may only extend upward to the 125 point ceiling, the 10-point bonus for participating in a Saturday Special may exceed 125 (unlike normal challenge bonuses that are calculated in conjunction with the underlying piece and subject to the 125 restraints). So, for example, you can post 92 points this week, post a Saturday Special story worth 33 points (which would be the minimum at 1000/30), reach 125 for the week AND then get an additional 10 points (for a total of 135) for doing the Saturday Special. The 10 extra points will be noted on the spreadsheet.
4. Your work must meet the following minimum requirements to get those lovely bonus points:

Writing: 500 words!
Art: Finished - Good or better

5. Do not add the 10 extra points yourself. I will do it for you. Think of this as a "no challenge" piece. :)
6. Label your submission with "October 2.0" somewhere in the subject line AND use the "!saturday special" tag.
7. Please post your submissions per the standard formatting requirements of all Sugarquill posts.
8. Feel free to ask questions in the comments below!

So, for example, you can post 92 points this week, post a Saturday Special story worth 33 points (which would be the minimum at 1000/30), reach 125 for the week AND then get an additional 10 points (for a total of 135) for doing the Saturday Special. The 10 extra points will be noted on the spreadsheet.
4. Your work must meet the following minimum requirements to get those lovely bonus points:

Writing: 500 words!
Art: Finished - Good or better

5. Do not add the 10 extra points yourself. I will do it for you. Think of this as a "no challenge" piece. :)
6. Label your submission with "August 4.0" somewhere in the subject line AND use the "!saturday special" tag.
7. Please post your submissions per the standard formatting requirements of all Sugarquill posts.

About current Writer's Block voting

Apparently I can't read nor spell-check my posts anymore, because I accidentally wrote in the voting post for you to vote your two favourite drabbles instead of three *facepalm*

I have edited the voting post accordingly - those of you who have already voted could you please vote for the third place as well? Thank you and sorry.

Saturday Special: August 3.0

banner by renrenren3

Rules:

1. You must use the prompt below
2. You will have 48 hours to submit your work. Fics or art must be posted by 11:59pm UTC on Sunday, August 19 (Timezone Converter)
3. For the underlying piece, point calculations shall follow the regular Sugarquill point schedule (word/30; quality of art). However, per the (b) exception to Rule 3, Rule 3(b)(1) Saturday Specials are not subject to the cap. They are a bonus challenge worth 10 extra points and added at the end of the month. Meaning, while the underlying work may only extend upward to the 125 point ceiling, the 10-point bonus for participating in a Saturday Special may exceed 125 (unlike normal challenge bonuses that are calculated in conjunction with the underlying piece and subject to the 125 restraints). So, for example, you can post 92 points this week, post a Saturday Special story worth 33 points (which would be the minimum at 1000/30), reach 125 for the week AND then get an additional 10 points (for a total of 135) for doing the Saturday Special.
