The Duel (5-2006) Challenge Closed |
| The Duel Challenge is now closed. We have 13 terrific stories to read and the judges to choose which ones will rate as Best Overall, Drama, Romance, and Adventure. Malfoy really got what was coming to him in most stories. In a couple of stories he was spared in an unusual fashion. A few stories were very well though through. And the help Harry received from an unlikely source was quite interesting. So, now the judges have to go to work, read all the stories, and come up with their nominations for the four categories. Keep a close watch on SIYE on November 15th, as the winners will be posted then. Good luck to all the authors who dared the Challenge. |

That was my question exactly. Whatever could it mean? :) Good luck everyone!

The last story I read about a ring definitely brought the wearer privacy...of a sort. It turned the little guys invisible. I seem to recall that there were some problems associated with that as well. Dumbledore would make a good Gandalf though wouldn't he? Eric B.

Perceptive, spenser
Sovran came out of the woodwork on 2006.11.02 - 10:35AM to say:
Hmm. I interpreted it differently. Can we think of any situation where you might want to have some privacy and a ring?
Alanius came out of the woodwork on 2006.11.02 - 02:35PM to say:
I like Sovran's way of thinking. It could refer to Ginny's transition from the crowded Burrow (where there is little privacy) to Harry's house (because she's married) A ring is also the podium, for want of a better word, in which combatists fight. In the HP universe, this could be an area in which two people duel, sealed off by a magical ring that no duelist and no spell can penetrate. Hmm, I fail to see how privacy could be relevant in this context, not to mention that we already had a duel challenge. Kudos to Spenser Hemmingway. It gave me a chuckle or two. Harry: "I'm going to face Voldemort ALONE!" Ron&Hermione: "Of course you are. And we're coming with you!" (If Sovran's logged in, does that mean he updated? Let's go check!)
Sovran came out of the woodwork on 2006.11.02 - 02:48PM to say:
Sovran, that scurvy knave, tends to stay logged in nearly 24/7. But it won't be long. =)
On-topic, I was thinking more of a proposal challenge. How can come up with the funniest, most dramatic, most action-packed, or most romantic proposal?
Ravenclaw came out of the woodwork on 2006.11.02 - 03:32PM to say:
Hmmm... Interesting. My first thought was LoTR too, but that would just be silly. :) Good Luck all!
Keira Azul came out of the woodwork on 2006.11.02 - 06:29PM to say:
Hmmm....proposals would be cute - but I feel like there must be something more to it. I want another clue! :)
lucky_black_cat came out of the woodwork on 2006.11.03 - 02:50PM to say:
I do hope it's a proposal. I can just imagine Eric's entry... Harry: *on bended knee* Ginny, will you marry me? Ginny: "Oh, Harry, of co- Spenser: *flies into the room inside a bathtub* Fred & George: "Well there is something you don't see everyday... a chicken flying in an antique bathtub destroying your family home." LOL. Priceless.
Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2006.11.03 - 05:45PM to say:
Sonia-- If you remember, it was Ginny's playing with the charms, and Tonks shooting at the tub that caused it to take out the Burrow. If that really is the Challenge, then I think another dance marathon, ice cream eating contest, or Monty Python fan club reunion would be better distractions. Hmm, actually...
gryffindor_girl101 came out of the woodwork on 2006.11.03 - 07:32PM to say:
I was wondering the same thing - privacy ring. Or, more accurately - privAcy ring.
gryffindor_girl101 came out of the woodwork on 2006.11.03 - 07:36PM to say:
maybe it hints to the one that won. if any of them mentioned a ring, or privacy, or a privacy ring...
Ginebra Wood came out of the woodwork on 2006.11.05 - 04:32PM to say:
Rings, Rings... I see rings everywhere! I was watching LOTR on TV this evening and I remembered the challenge... a privacy ring...maybe Harry can become invisible and ...but no he has his cloak and I don´t think it would be a proposal challenge...oh I had no idea please another clue.
Sir Ollivander came out of the woodwork on 2006.11.05 - 05:48PM to say:
Ginebra Wood - due to a minor medical problem, I had a few days off from work. I watched all three LOTR movies in a row in one day. I have the Deluxe, Extended, Boxed Set 12-DVD Edition (Christmas gift last year), with over 30-45 minutes worth of edited scenes put back into each movie. It was great!! But LOTR has nothing to do with this Challenge ‘ring.'

OOOOOOOOOOH!!!!! IF THIS IS A PROPOSAL CHALLENGE, THEN I'M IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Privacy Ring?? Interesting!

Sir Ollivander is mischievous, but not evil…unlike me. I have hacked into the site computer...okay, I bribed my seven-year-old to do it (I can barely work this thing). Everyone owes me coffee beans for this advance notice. Hogwarts has a bell-ringing club, and the charter requires that they all rehearse in their underwear. Harry and Ginny accidentally intrude upon their practice, upsetting their privacy, and are condemned for such. The climax will be when they are chased/hunted across the snowy Scottish landscape by all those students wrapped in sheets and brandishing hand bells. Of course I’m right. Have I ever failed you?

HA! sorry...I can't get that picture out of my head... :) Won't they all catch pnemonia?
