    “I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.”
    ― Marilyn Monroe

    Welcome to our next full-length Harry Potter Fan-fiction competition! School is starting, leaves are falling, and it's still too fucking hot every-damn-where, but that's all the more reason to stay inside and write.

    Q3 Competition 2022
    Topic - Hogwarts Days

    Word Count:
    500 - 17,500 words
    Due Date: October 2nd
    Voting: October 3rd - October 16th

    Submit your stories to @Xiph0 via pm.
    You have until midnight in his time zone, though often there are a few hours grace period (but don't rely on that).

    Xiph0 and I may know your identity but otherwise you'll be kept anonymous unless you choose to claim your story after the competition. Try not to advertise what you're writing too much until then, but a beta (or two) is fine.

    How-to-Vote
    1. Leave a 200+ word review for each story (in the story thread)
    2. Distribute 5 points between the stories as you see fit (in this thread)**
    3. Authors must vote but cannot vote for themselves
    **subject to change depending upon number of entries

    If Vaults wins best believe I'm sweeping the honors with my OlympicGymanst!Harry masterpiece.

    Y'all are so boring. Don't you know Vaults can be used to STORE things? Like, like, wine! Or valuables!

    What if someone STEALS something from a vault?! Mwahahaha this clever idea will never occur to anyone else!

    The Hogwarts competition prompt actually fits with one of my numerous half-finished Google Docs. Insane.

    Seems this could gel interestingly with ‘Days’ also.

    Days when the vampires hide away in Hogwarts vaults, which leads to an unexpected meeting.

    Oi folks, my bad! I got busy with a promotion at work and forgot to announce that voting should start.

    With just three entries, we'll use our tried-and-true method of reviewing each story then distributing 5 points. @BTT & @haphnepls thanks for participating as always and getting the ball rolling on the reviews. If one of you could also vote here to demonstrate that'd be great (I'll get on it asap myself).

    3 points to #2
    2 points to #1

    As far as I'm concerned the quality of the stories is about the same but I pitched an extra point at entry #2 for well done technical writing.

    Unless I'm mistaken, you voted for #1 twice.
