An April Fools Challenge?
The 2012-4 Challenge was called “The Bond,” concerning the soul bonding between Harry & Ginny. It was a successful Challenge and some chapters are still being written. However, I received a number of e-mails and comments from readers & writers’ thinking it was a play on James Bond, Special Agent 007. Therefore, I will allow you your fun for this Challenge.
The Challenge is to write a Harry Potter story based on the popular James Bond books and movies. It can be funny, dramatic, sartorial, original, whatever you want. It can be based on all the players being first years or adults after graduation or anything in between.
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 “Harry Bond 007” Challenge (2013-2) sub-category of SIYE Challenges and be submitted by midnight SIYE Time, Wednesday, May 15, 2013.
3. Completed stories are seriously preferred. Multiple chapters are allowed as long as all the requirements are in the chapters that are submitted by the deadline.
4. The categories for judging are Best Overall, Originality, Characterization, and The People’s Choice Award.

And the envelope please!
The results are all tallied and envelopes are prepared. Without further ado, here are the winners of the January/February DSTAs...
The nominees have been tallied and DSTA voting for January/February is now open. Voting will continue until midnight of March 10th. Results will be posted early morning of March 11th. Remember, vote for your favourites!
The Challenge had an interesting batch of eight stories to be reckoned with. Harry was able to transform into his Animagus form and eventually to get back out of it. Our eight judges transform their votes into three stories that won for their authors. And the winners are….
The winning stories are now prominently listed in our Featured Stories section. The Challenge category is back open. Those of you that have multiple chapters or need to do some editing may continue at this time. If your story is completed, please ensure it is edited and YES, as completed.
The 2013-2 Challenge will start April 1st. You thought you were fooled once. So, he’s really back this time. His name’s….
I would like to thank my many judges who worked hard for this Challenge: A few are new; I welcome aboard. Thank you AM, FF, JG, LK, LS, NS, S/, & SM. You know who you are. Thank you very much for all that reading and judging. Your time to help out is quite valuable. The Challenge would not exist if nobody judged them. No one judge picked all first place winners. But a bunch were correct adding in the second places.
Some authors have asked if I would tell them how well they did in the judging. If you wish, e-mail me and I will tell you your results.
*** An added note: A couple of judges noticed and mentioned to me that those authors that said they had betas reading over their stories scored better in the Challenge and overall ratings than those that didn’t mention betas. Remember, ANYBODY can be a beta; a teacher, best friend, a friend on the bus, a mentor, parent, sibling, co-worker, sweetheart, UPS driver, old Mrs. What’s-her-name next door, ANYBODY!

Happy Birthday Bonnie
It is now 17 February in Hogsmeade and London. We the staff and membership of Sink Into Your Eyes would like to wish Miss Bonnie Wright, the actress who portrayed Ginny Weasley, one half of the famous pair to which this site is dedicated, a very happy birthday. Cake, butter beer, and musical entertainment will be provided throughout the day in what is left of SIYE Ballroom Two (we had a small problem with Seamus and his little experiment with meteorites). Have a magnificent day Bonnie!
