What pairing(s) will your fic have this year?
Right now, mine has Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, and Harry/Draco, and I'm sure there's gonna be others, but I haven't figured those out yet. LOL.

Someone gave me an idea, and I thought I'd share it. There are threads on the NaNo boards featuring challenges for the writers to include in their stories. It's a way to add a twist when you otherwise don't know what to do next, a way to increase wordcounts, and even a way to give you a way to start.
So, I was thinking we could start a thread here (this one, of course), and use it to offer ideas, challenges, odd pairings or meetups (they hardly have to be sexualized) set in the HP universe for everyone else to peruse and use at their leisure. Anyone can use any challenge. They don't go away just because one person has used it.
And a few to get everyone started:
( prompts )
Feel free to snag any you find intriguing and use them any way you wish, and even more, feel free to add your own for others to snag. :D
Have fun!

| A week to go! |
| Public |

So, I know there aren't many of us here, but I hope everyone is ready and raring to go, as NaNoWriMo kicks off next week.
How's everyone feeling at the moment? Got your story thought out? Outlined? Just chosen characters and you're going to throw them together? Are you trying something new? Something tried and tested that you wanted to make into a longer story?
Feel free to share the comm to talk about your fears and hopes for the coming month, or particularly if you have issues with something HP-related that you can't seem to find an answer to elsewhere. Also feel free to post writing links, HP links, or anything else you think might be of use to anyone here.
Good luck, everyone!
Your mod,
Elfflame

Name: Harleen
Years you've participated: This will be my first real attempt. I almost did in 2005, but my original fic idea didn't pan out.
Previous NaNo Fics: None, see above.
NaNo Journal: I'll probably just use my regular journal.
Other: I have ideas for a post-DH AU fic where Fred survives, which focuses on his recovery and how the twins cope with that. I need to start my outline, but I have at least half of it in my head.

Name: kabal42
Years you've participated: Last year with an aborted attempt at original fic. I still plan to write that story, just not till I'm done with Uni, I think.
Previous NaNo Fics: Aforementioned original. Though it was set in the world from the role-playing game 'Fading Suns', if that's familiar to anyone.
NaNo Journal: None so far. I think I'll keep it in the regular journal.
Other: This year I'll be writing a H/D fic that came to me in the most persistent bunny I've seen in years. I have notes for 9 chapters right now and that's only around 2/3 of the fic. So it might get very long *G*

Name: elfflame
Years you've participated: I won it once in 2005, and a very aborted attempt last year that got me nowhere.
Previous NaNo Fic: Chrysalis (H/D, R, finished)
NaNo Journal: Have been debating it, but probably not.
Other: Last year I was considering doing an original piece, but I looked at everything I had to do, and decided not to, because the piece needed too much work.
This year, I have a fic idea (Harry/Draco, of course) involving dreams and fairy tales (and a few other assorted things), and I've been having fun trying to decide which tales to use... I think I could do it. Could be fun. :D

Name: snapesgirl or sg for short
Years you've participated: this will be my second attempt
Previous NaNo Fics: Sinistra's World, which is being posted at 100quills on el-jay
NaNo Journal: same as here, I know, not very original.
About this time last year, I selected a prompt table at 100quills to help me come up with ideas and began to write up background on my main character. There is not a lot on Lexicon about Professor Sinistra, so I was free to develop her personality quirks, preferences and dislikes.
