Hermione Big Bang is a community fest running a 6-month event during which authors write novella- and novel-length stories of any type centered on Hermione Granger, and artists illustrate them with art, graphics, videos, and/or music. The archive will go live on September 19, 2009, to celebrate Hermione's birthday.
Two of the Captains are participating and we would love to see everyone who writes Hermione participate. You don't have to have a Live Journal to participate. Check it out and, if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask the mods! They are great and really supportive.
There are loads of cheerleader openings, too, so if you aren't a writer, why don't you come cheerlead? |

Quidditch Trading Cards Our galleries, Quidditch Trading Cards, are finally reopened! After several weeks of work reconstructing them after a hacker destroyed them, the galleries are now back up. Please note the new location and change any bookmarks you may have. Additionally, new registrations are closed at this time, and the adult albums are correspondingly closed. We're attempting to cross our main site registrations with the gallery and our technical guru, Captain Mel, is working out the bugs. |
