Comments Miz636 came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.01 - 01:39AM to say: Also, if my entry takes place before Harry and Ginny get together, can I not have any romance in it? It won't be anti-H/G, it just won't involve romance at all because it doesn't fit into my idea... Just curious. Torak came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.01 - 07:32AM to say: As long as there is H/G in it; not necessarily romantic, but the connection needs to be there. See the earlier books for examples. As for spoofing, just make it entertaining; it doesn't need to be an out-and-out parody. Miz636 came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.01 - 08:14AM to say: Ah, okay, thanks. I think I've got an idea to show a connection of some sort, now. jk_salmeier came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.01 - 08:28PM to say: Just letting you know that the link for tvtropes.org is site is broken. Torak came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.02 - 12:00AM to say: Urgh, it's appended www.siye.co.uk to it. Fixing it now. Torak came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.02 - 12:01AM to say: Sorted. Thanks for the heads-up. st122 came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.04 - 01:48PM to say: This sounds like fun. Already got an idea forming in my mind... Thanks tangle elfwand came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.07 - 07:12AM to say: I can't believed you linked TV Tropes. The addictiveness of that site... I need to sleep sometime you know! But very excited for this one, especially as one of the title prompts goes with a story I was writing. lenfaz came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.09 - 08:00PM to say: so, to see if I understood: We pick one of the titles and we can write a parody that hints /references from that fandom (e.g. Star Wars) and/or another? Torak came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.09 - 10:26PM to say: The titles don't have to be related to the fandom you cross HP with - they'll work better that way, but it's not a requirement. And remember, while the story should remain fundamentally Harry Potter, there has to be some element of crossover to another fandom... or more, if you like. HarryGinnyDestiny came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.11 - 08:43AM to say: Tried to post some of this page from the types of tropes on TVTropes -ttp://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AccidentalMarriage - Can we chose any of the tropes in this story, or just the 5 or so listed here? HarryGinnyDestiny came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.11 - 08:44AM to say: Because a story where H / G accidentally get married (either by not understanding a strange custom or whatever) would be HILARIOUS!!! HarryGinnyDestiny came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.11 - 08:46AM to say: Addidental Marriage Trope - Be careful when visiting foreign parts or in the company of aliens, because you never know... you just might end up married. A character (almost always a male) discovers that a seemingly innocent action now means he is married to a certain young lady he had no idea he was marrying. lololol HarryGinnyDestiny came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.11 - 08:48AM to say: Or can that be added to the list of tropes... *hint hint * HarryGinnyDestiny came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.11 - 09:37AM to say: Or it could just be a prank from the twins to make them just think they're married. Be hilarious if set when Harry was with Cho / Ginny was with Dean timeframe. Still not sure what to cross it over with even if this trope is allowed. grrr... Torak came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.12 - 08:07AM to say: Just to clarify - your question was a bit unclear - accidental marriage is not a requirement. Go ahead and use it if you like, but you don't need to. HarryGinnyDestiny came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.12 - 09:07AM to say: My question was for rule 2 of how we have to write the story - "2.Include one or more of the following ancient and less-ancient tropes" - You give 5 different types of tropes, but my question was could we chose any trope from TV tropes, or does it just have to be one of the 5 listed? Because the accidental marriage trope sounded more interesting than the other 5, and leads to more romance in the story Torak came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.12 - 10:38AM to say: You can substitute other tropes, of course, and you can use whatever additional tropes you like - but having one or more of those tropes in it will serve you well in the judging. tangle elfwand came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.17 - 12:56AM to say: Just curious, does the inclusion of one f-bomb automatically mean an R rating? Because I only want to use one, promise... Torak came out of the woodwork on 2011.10.17 - 11:58AM to say: I'm afraid it does. But remember, R-rated stories are permitted, no problem there. | |||||||||||

So... You're basically asking for a crossover? I think, for the first time, I'm going to enter a challenge... With a bit of help from my parents, I've got a plot for one of these titles that I could possibly turn amusing in some ways. I am a bit confused by the spoof bit, however. Do you just want a crossover that has some humor in it, or do you want an actual parody of some sort, because I've got an idea for the former, not the latter. Clarify?
