Buried Gems 11-2019
The last edition of the Buried Gems of the Year 2019 brings you a story nominated by ellen. She gave the story particularly high marks for a touch of humour, and characters brought to life with decent dialogue, as well as the excellent spelling and grammar.
Summary: A weekend trip to the mysterious Rose Cottage leads to Ginny's second pregnancy and Hermione's first. Join the Potters and Weasleys as they take on “The Next Great Adventure” while they anticipate the births of Albus Potter and Rose Weasley.

Christmas Challenge (2019-3) - Update/ Reminder
This is just a reminder for all who want to participate in the Christmas Challenge
You still have 28 days left to submit your story for our Christmas Challenge - and in case you didn't start writing yet - there's still time enough to come up with a nice story about Harry and Ginny's best Christmas memories.
Please note rules for challenge stories: submissions must be stand-alone stories that are marked as complete by deadline; all stories must be posted under the Christmas Challenge (2019-3) category.
The categories for judging will be Most Romantic, Most Humourous, Best Overall, and the People's Choice Award.
***Edit - I'm going to leave the challenge open until New Year as I don't think judges will want to be judging over Christmas, so you have a bit longer to submit stories too. Thanks, ginnyweasley777***
The edition 10-2019 of the SIYE Buried Gems brings you a story that starts at the end of HBP, Losing Each Other by MyGinevra.
Summary: This story follows Harry and Ginny from their parting after Dumbledore's funeral. Much of it is told from Ginny's POV. The first chapter, "Ginny's Mermaid," was originally posted as a one-shot. I have revised it slightly as part of this longer story, but it is essentially the same as it was when I first posted it.
The story was written pre-DH. If you liked Losing Each Other, then I'd recommend reading the 'kind of' sequels The Hogs Head and Ginny's House as well. 'Kind of' sequel because it keeps some elements of Losing Each Other, but instead of creating an alternate universe, it follows canon, including Deathly Hallows. The sequels start during the final battle and describe the start into Harry's and Ginny's life together.
Feel free to let us know what you think about this story!

Today's edition of Buried Gems brings you a special time-travelling story recommended by Tron with the following words: It's a multi-chapter story that's not too long. It involves some time travel that fixes a bunch of the problems in the wizarding world in a matter of days. Harry didn't waste any time. Great story.
Summary: If you've got a chance to do it over again, why putz around? You know the game, you know the players, and you know the goal. It's time for Double Jeopardy, where the scores can really change.
Feel free to let us know what you think about this story!

First Time For Everything Challenge (2019-2) Results
First of all I'd just like to give a big shout-out to every single author who entered this challenge as the judges have mentioned what a high standard of stories there is, and how difficult it was to judge as each author put their own unique take on the prompt given. Without further ado I can announce the winners are as follows-
I would personally like to give an Honorable Mention to Second Chances and First Occasions by Rogan which came extremely close and I was told would have won if there had been a Most Romantic category this time.
Huge thank you to everyone who has taken part, and to the judges for what was definitely a difficult task - AM, JG, MJ, SR
I will be back in the next day or so with the new challenge to keep your eyes peeled!

Buried Gems 08-2019
After the last Buried Gem has been a bit shorter, the 08-2019 edition of the Buried Gems presents you a significantly longer story written in the years 2003/2004. The story is set Post-OotP and belongs to the most reviewed stories on SIYE to date (rank 10).
Summary: Harry and Ginny make a decision that changes their lives...
If you like the story, you should also read the one-shot companion pieces you can find on SunDevil05's user page.
Since it was a close call, which of SunDevil05's stories would be today's Buried Gem, I also recommend reading the other candidates, Adventures in Courtship and its sequel Adventures as Newlyweds.
Feel free to let us know what you think about SunDevil05's stories!
