Buried Gems 10-2019
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.

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!

Buried Gems 07-2019
Today SIYE has its 17th birthday. I would like to take this opportunity to nominate the very first SIYE story as the next Buried Gem.
Unfortunately, the story with SIYE story-Id #1 is gone a long time ago. If anyone here still remembers the story, please let us know and tell us about it.
Summary: Ginny writes a letter to Harry on the day he finishes at Hogwarts.
Oh, and by the way, story #4 is the sequel to My Best Guarded Secret. Both stories together are only 2.000 word long. So, if you have 5 minutes, give it a try.
17 years ago, on August 3, in 2002, Siye went online.
Seventeen years is an eternity in the era of the internet, a period many other fanfiction sites were very popular but sadly have disappeared again.
Our thanks go to all who have launched this site and have helped to keep it working over the years. Special thanks, of course, go to all the authors and readers whose love for our favourite couple keeps the page alive.
Let's hope for many more years, filled with entertaining stories about the life of our favourite couple.
