Trophy Room Stories and Authors that have been recipients of Silver Trinket Awards
Voting Commences
It's time once again to cast your ballot for your favourites in the Dumbledore Silver Trinket Awards. Voting will end on March 10th with results being revealed on the 11th. Good luck to all!
With only one "Home Alone" story, the judges still had to submit their votes and comments. The results was pretty much straight forward and split down the middle. Two comments concerning Dobby were polar opposites. So, the winner is...
The winning story is now prominently listed in our Featured Stories section. The 2015-2 Challenge will start April 1st. Remember all those people in the school...in those ugly frames
I would like to thank the judges that sent in their votes. You know who you are: AM, BA, JG, JG, TM, & ZA. Your time to help out is quite valuable. The Challenge would not exist if nobody judged them.

Happy Birthday Bonnie
It is now February 17th in London and Hogsmeade. All of us here at Sink Into Your Eyes would like to wish Miss Bonnie Wright, the actress who portrays one half of our site's favorite couple (no, she's not Harry...sheesh), a very wonderful twenty-fourth birthday. While the boss has banished me from the SIYE ballrooms after all those insurance claims (really...not my fault), someone else has stepped up to provide cake, punch, and music there throughout the next day. Have a great one Bonnie.
Mischief managed!

The "Home Alone" Challenge is Now Closed
Our first Challenge of the year is now closed. We have only one story where Ginny does the job of defending the Burrow. Therefore the judging will be a little different. The story will go up against the categories of Best Overall, Humorous, Ingenious, and of course, The People’s Choice Award. May the best category win…?

Hem... Hem...
It's my pleasure to present the Annual Dumbledore Silver Trinket Award winners for 2014. The envelope, please....
Due to the epic fail on my part (sorry, but it's the start of tax season and the calls at work have increased by quite a lot), the annual ballot will remain open until February 10th. The winners will be announced on February 11th. Sorry about the confusion and the empty ballot!
Based on the popular 1990 American movie "Home Alone," starring Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister and two would-be burglars, played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, this Challenge is about either Harry Potter at #4 Privet Drive OR Ginny Weasley at the Burrow. Pick one!
Harry is left alone when the Dursley's leave town for the weekend. Of course his wand is locked up somewhere and he can't get to it.
Ginny is home alone without her wand over a weekend while the family visits Bill on assignment in Ireland. She's being punished for hexing the Twins after a prank gets carried too far.
For some unknown reasons the wards weaken and burglars are able to see and access their homes. Harry / Ginny are determined to defend their homes, respectively.
The Challenge is to write a story of how Harry / Ginny get into this situation and how they defend their homes against the burglars. Harry / Ginny may not leave their properties.
Rules:
1. All general submission rules apply. Stories over 20,000 words are discouraged but not prohibited. R-rated stories are allowed but discouraged. Judges are not required to read stories over 20,000 words or any R-rated stories.
2. All entries must be submitted under “Home Alone” Challenge 2015-1, sub-category of SIYE Challenges and be submitted by midnight SIYE Time, Sunday, February 15, 2015.
3. Change in Rule: Only completed stories are acceptable. Multiple chapters are allowed.
4. The categories for judging are Best Overall, Humorous, Ingenious, and The People’s Choice Award.

DSTA voting commences
The Time Turner has been found and the voting will commence once again for the November/December DSTAs. Voting will end on January 14th so that the annual awards voting will start on the 15th. So make sure to cast your ballots today!
Some time Tuesday, Jan 6th, SIYE experienced a technical glitch and the program reverted back to sometime late Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Anything that was done on the site is no longer there. So SIYE lost a week. (Somebody got a hold of a Time Turner!)
If you had any interactions with SIYE during last week, you need to do it again. Submit stories or chapters, editing a story, etc. We at SIYE will reprint the DSTA nominations and the Challenge News.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We are still talking with our technical staff to learn what happened so we can prevent it from happening again.
Happy New Year...again!

My version of what happened after HBP.I discovered fan fiction while waiting for Book 7 and at the time I was also worried about how certain things within the HP series might end; so I figured I'd try writing my own version for fun. My husband kept bugging me to read it and, to my surprise, he actually liked it. With much encouragement from him, I finally worked up the nerve to post it (on a different FF site at that time) and I did finish it just before Book 7 came out. It was interesting to see where I came close to the real thing and where I missed the mark.Rating: R Category: Post-HBP, Post-HBP Genre: Action/Adventure, Angst, Drama, Romance Warnings: Death, Mild Language, Sexual Situations, Violence Words: Chapters: 5 Published: 2015.02.21 Updated: 2015.03.04 Status: Work in Progress Hits: 1361 Reviews: 14

*** Winner of Best Overall in the Quidditch Challenge *** May 2004: It's being billed as the Hogwarts match of the decade! The best Gryffindor team in ages is set to clash against the sleek, defending champion Slytherins. Both squads are stacked with young stars whom Harry and Ginny have mentored, and the Potters are on-hand to mingle with their adoring acolytes. Yet amidst the excitement and good will, lurks a spectre of pain and betrayal -- a brilliant yet prickly Slytherin seeker whose bewildering legacy Harry knows he can no longer defer.** Starting lineups posted! ** (click link; scroll half way down page)This was actually supposed to follow another story ('Trix'; writing ongoing; posting to begin in November) but the Quidditch challenge came out too durned soon, so I'm trying to give you enough background for the current story to stand alone, without spoiling Trix.

Ginny honestly had no idea, but she was willing to wager that it could be a really funny way to extract sweet revenge. As she discretely placed the containers back into Fred's prank chest and relocked it, she would never have guessed that, several accidents later, she would become embroiled in the best punishment ever -- a weekend alone at the Burrow that would change her life forever!Rating: PG Category: Home Alone Challenge (2015-1), Home Alone Challenge (2015-1) Genre: Action/Adventure, Comedy, Humor Warnings: Mild Language Words: 18964 Chapters: 3 Published: 2015.01.28 Updated: 2015.02.13 Status: Completed Hits: 2214 Reviews: 38
