Corrections re. Challenge 2017-2
Brill! Happily, I have been proven wrong on both major counts of my message from this morning. Sometime between my settling into a strange bed late last night, and my blearily hitting the road this morning, we did indeed get a second story before the deadline. And, somewhere in all this, there may well be the mention of a flat EU country; purveyor of fine wheat beers and lagers!
Sometime, shortly after expelling the host of gnomes that broke into my home in my absence, I will try to write to esteemed judges with revised instructions.
Hmmm... Well, unless someone has dreamed up a rather novel gag, I believe that the April Fool's Challenge has produced only one story. It is, however, a fine one:
There will be no People's Challenge, obviously, so over the next two weeks judges will ponder the pranksome nature of a titilating tale of knickers, chess pieces, and misplaced attribution, to determine which of the following categories is a suitable award:
Most Humourous
Most Unexpected
Best Overall
There is, to my knowledge, no gratuitous use of the word Belgium to evaluate, hence there is no need to compromise anyone's beer loyalties.
Dear judges: I am currently on travel and am limited in my laptop time, so I will send you a note with instructions within the next 24 hours.
challenge update (2017-2) and input on challenge topics for 2017-3
"Er..." Wide eyed, Harry scratched his head. "Now that was unexpected."
Watching huge gobs of greenish clotted cream oozing from Marcus Flint's armpits, Ginny sputtered into her hand. "Oops!" She took Harry's arm and steered him away from the spectacle that had exploded the Great Hall into hysterics. "I may have dribbled too much doxy egg-yoke into the potion by accident. Oh well."
"Accident?" Leaving the raucous hall, Harry glanced back in time to see Flint skid in the cream and land tail first in the mess. He smirked and pulled his new-found conspirator a bit closer. "Say, Gin'. I wouldn't mind having another accident like the one we had yesterday in the, uh, broom closet." His eyes couldn't resist a quick glance at his conspirator's lips.
"Nuh uh, Potter." Ginny shook her head firmly.
"No?" Harry blinked, a bit crestfallen.
"Of course not." Ginny tugged Harry to the side, sending them both stumbling into a tiny alcove, rattling an old mop and some pails. "This time it's no accident!"
*******************
So April Fool's Day may be months past, but who's not looking forward to reliving some great pranks?? The next challenge is due in less than twelve days now -- we have one great story in already, and at least one more in the works, but here's hoping there are loads more tricks and gags waiting to be sprung on poor hapless Hogwarts villains!
Please get your entries in by midnight SIYE time on July 15th. Some of you should also be on the lookout for judging requests. Also, we need to pin down our topic for Challenge 2017-3. Please either suggest a topic, or vote for one of our the top prior candidates:
Someone is going on a magical creature hunt. Why they are hunting the creature? Do they find it? Tell us about the journey.
Years into their marriage, Ginny discovers something surprising about Harry. Tell us about it.
By accident, Harry and Ginny stumble upon a hidden Portkey and are swept away. What happens next, and how do they get back?
As the shock wave receded from the Gryffindor Table, Colin Creevey timidly wiped a spatter of stew from his nose, Ginny slowly emerged from her blast crouch, and several seventh years looked down their sharp seventh-year noses at... Harry Potter.
On her way over from the Ravenclaw table, Luna smiled genially. "Good evening, Harry Potter. You're looking quite tetchy tonight."
Harry took a breath, low and raspy like a 'quite tetchy' lethifold. His white knuckles unclenched the seat back that he had just slammed, and he scanned the Great Hall, seething, "I'm going to rearrange someone's bloody face."
"Oh dear no." Luna blinked. "It need not be bloody. Magical healers can do excellent, non-intrusive cosmetic surgery these days."
Ignoring her, Ginny stared at Harry. "Oi Potter. Does that mean they got you too?"
"Got me too?" Harry looked in askance. "Do you mean, someone else was cursed with a singing cauldron in Potions?"
"Yes. Me." Ginny nodded stiffly, banishing from her mind the strains of a daft love song (something about her fancying the Boy Who Lived). "They pranked me this morning."
"Bugger." Harry gritted his teeth for a moment. "Do you have any idea who did it?"
Ginny's shoulders slumped. "No. Snape took all the evidence and locked it in his office. How are we going to find out?"
"Simple!" Luna beamed a ray of sunshine at her friends. "Just ask that lot over at SIYE. They know everything that happens to us."
"Hey!" Harry grinned. "That's a great idea. You know, I'm still chuckling about that Hugo Granger-Weasley piece. That poor lad is so clueless..."
"True." Ginny smiled. "But I think my favourite was the story about two weddings. Who would have thought, you know, that old Mrs. Figg would have let that happen?"
"Uh, I may have missed that one..." Harry scratched his chin. "What was that about two wedd-?"
"Shush!" Luna rapped the table. "Be quiet and hear what the authors say. Meanwhile, I'll find you a book on cosmetic surgery."
*********************
Somebody has just wronged Harry and Ginny, and they're going to get even in the most fitting and funny way possible. There are roughly six weeks left for you to tell us about it and compete for fame and (nonmonetary) fortune in the 2017-2 April Fools Challenge!
Challenge award categories are:
Most Humourous

The results are in for the June 2016 Dumbledore Silver Trinket Awards, and I can tell you it was very close in a few of the categories. Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who was nominated. Nominations are now being accepted for what *should* be the May 2017 trinkets.

The Trinkets are back!
Well it's still a work-in-progress with figuring out just where we are with them, but I can now announce that the voting is now open for the June 2016 Silver Trinkets. There's quite a few stories to choose from and you can vote at the following link -
P.S. The winners will be announced on 20th May, so if you haven't already done so then please vote for your favourites.

Rolling with it...
Well. So there are some things that need to be announced, or at least chatted about, and although I'm not truly the right person to be making announcements, I'm at least a decent sort to start chatting.
First of all, and most importantly, Spenser Hemmingway is stepping down from his Senior Administrator and Trinkets Tsar role, "effective May". That may or may not mean tomorrow, but regardless it is certainly soon. I don't know details, but Sir Ollivander told us that Spenser / Eric has accepted a college position in creative writing. Fitting, I would say!
Anyway, hopefully those who know more, and perhaps our long-time SIYE icon himself, may be able to provide more information, but in the mean time, let's wish him well!
Secondly, Hannah / GinnyWeasley777, has agreed to take on the Trinkets and get them charged up again. Thank you Hannah! In return, I will assume full responsibility for Challenges.
Thirdly, I am aware, and somewhat disheartened, by the fair number of minor unresolved technical problems on the site, including failures in new account approval, review responses, and (for some authors) an inability to edit old chapters. I don't personally have the control (and perhaps not the know-how) to fix these problems, but the appropriate authorities have been alerted.
I will admit that this is a difficult time for SIYE. We are limping along, but we are not dead yet, especially if authors, readers and volunteers continue to make things happen.
Thank you all!
***Comment: Hey folks, a quick good bye. It's been a great twelve years with a great group of people here. I will going on to Portland State University to work on a Master of Arts in Writing, Book Design, and Publishing. I don't know if I would have pursued it if not for my experiences at SIYE. Great luck to all of you and thanks. One last time...Mischief managed! Spenser / Eric
Er, what's so grand about today? Sixth anniversary of Alan Rickman's last on-stage performance?
No silly. I mean, yes, BUT today is April Fool's day and what better way to honour it than with a "Pranks" Challenge? Indeed, it is not just the twins who can pull a prank. Somebody has just wronged Harry and Ginny, and they're going to get even in the most fitting and funny way possible. Tell us about it! Please note that these shenanigans need not take place on April 1, however they're certainly welcome to borrow from the spirit of this fine day!
