DUE DATE IS NOVEMBER 1, 2014!  
Happy Halloween to those that are celebrating it!

The due date for the 2014 Snarry Mini Games is upon us! We will be accepting (links to works) up to the end of day, November 1, 2014 (any time zone).

Once we have received all the links we will then proceed to make the Snarry Games Polls, which will be here in Livejournal, but linked to all of our other journals.

⇨ Here is the post with the Headers for each category

⇨ Here is the FAQs/Rules/Details post if you have any questions, but please do not hesitate to email the mods or message/ask us in this entry.

⇨ Please send us a separate email for each entry (maximum of two). The links to your works should be emailed to the MODS at snarrymod AT gmail DOT com. Please add your Artist/Author Name(s) and the TYPE of category each entry is for (Drabble/Ficlet/Fic/Art) in your subject line for the mod's sanity.

If you wish to post to the Snarry Games collection at Archive of Our Own, instead of a journal, please make sure to add it to the following collection once you upload it: Snarry Games 2014 Collection

You are welcome to send us your links early, as long as you remember to make your entries "Public" once the voting begins.

When the polls are finished, we will send by *return email* a link back to the poll that pertains to them. Please edit add these links to your entry so that your readers/watchers can vote for you. (Kudos at AO3 will *not* be counted in the polls).

We will post more details regarding the polls at the end of the weekend, and then they will be up for nearly two weeks for voters to take their time to see all the wonderful creations that Snarry fans have made for these reunion Games!

⇨ Don't forget to join in the reunion (or the 'I never left but welcome back you guys!') festivities over at the [info]hp_reunion during the two weeks the polls are up.

Snarry fans! Start your engines!

    PSA: Duo/Pair collaborations - FIND YOUR PARTNER HERE  
    Hello friends of Snarry, I hope this weekend finds you all well and happily entertaining bunnies for the mini Games for November 1st!

    I've been asked by a few folks in the last week about the following:

    a) Duo/pair collaborations are allowed

    and

    b) Maximum Two (2) entries allowed per participant (person or duo/collaborators)


    COLLABORATIONS: In past games, we have allowed the sign up of pair collaborators, and are doing the same this Games. All this means is: we accept single entries from collaborative pairs, whether artist/writer, writer/writer, or artist/artist.

    MAXIMUM ENTRIES: Two entries maximum per participant means: If you do a collaboration, as above, you can submit two entries together.

    Or you can submit one entry as half a pair, and one entry as a sole participant.

    You cannot submit more than two entries for the Snarry Mini Games, in total, regardless of chosen category(s).

    Thank you!!

    Snape/Harry Reunion by [info]chibitoaster!


    I've been asked if we can provide a place where single participants can be matched up with others in a collaboration. Perhaps an artist who wants a writer for a comic or a writer who wishes a co-author.

    To that end, we will be PINNING this post to the Livejournal Community Find Your Partner so that like-minded individuals can connect to one another.

    Posting in your own journals and other communities (if allowed) is also encouraged, we are in this for the reunion, after all!

    IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR JUDGES!  
    A large portion of the readers are new to the Games, and some previous judges may require a friendly reminder or refresher, so we are reposting some important information about the RULES FOR VOTING IN THE SNARRY GAMES.

    You can find these Rules in our FAQS.


    SPECTATOR/JUDGES POLL/Rules & Regulations



    WHO CAN VOTE: Everyone who is a spectator and has an insanejournal or OpenID.

    You can only vote once, but you can go in and change your original vote right up until the polls are locked for the final tally (just click on the poll, then click again on "Fill Out Poll", which will give you your previous numbers). Other than seeing your own numbers, the poll results will be visible only to Mods.


    WHO CANNOT VOTE:

    CURRENT Team Dragon and Phoenix Members and Alternates, Snarry Games Mods, and those who do NOT have a Insanejournal account or OPenID (IJ does not support anonymous voting). However, anyone can review and comment! And pimp. Pimp your favourites and your teammates' entries far and wide!

    Please vote responsibly. The mods work very hard counting all the polls up manually, and we do not appreciate the extra time it takes to delete Null votes and Troll votes. Thank you.


    **IMPORTANT NOTE** The first two questions must be judged impartially. You can find an entry not to your personal tastes, but still appreciate that it was well representing of its genre(s) and/or prompt(s). Be fair when you consider these criteria, and judge responsibly. The last question is subjective; How much did YOU like this entry overall?. Here, and only here, is where your personal tastes and preferences should be part of the judging process. For more info, please see below: WARNINGS.


    The Snarry Games always warns for character death*, Under 18, and extreme content. We simply use a format where the warning is invisible, like this:

    Warnings: Drag mouse over space if you wish to know: * Major character death. Torture. Extreme violence. Harry is 17 in this Fic, Infidelity, MPREG, etc etc etc *

    This way prevents anyone from seeing anything that they do not want to see, be it spoilers or the content in the story in question. PLEASE do not force yourself to read and vote on an entry you would normally not want to read. Please HEED these warnings.

    If you cannot vote fairly on a story because of the content that you've been warned against, you should not be reading or judging that story. It is not fair to the author, the team, or the mods, who work very hard to count the polls.

    Thank you!

    The Mod Squad.

    *Character death warned for is untimely, or other than: natural, old age, or having already happened in canon.

    Memberships  
    Just dropping in to remind folks who may be having trouble getting membership status to the [info]snarry_games for the F-locked NC17 (Art) posts - you must have an age statement or the year of your birth in your user info, because you must be over 18 to view adult rated content. You can still watch/add this community (public posts only) without joining it, if you are not.

    MASTER LIST OF ENTRIES!  
    Friends of Snarry:

    The 2007 Summer Art [info]snarry_games are nearly over. We have just posted the last of a Grand Total of 72 Snarry Art entries. We are very happy and awed by the overwhelming response and support of this project, especially in consideration of our abrupt move away from livejournal, and would like to thank everyone who has been involved. The mods, the Champions, the voters and judges, the reviewers and reporters, the affiliates. Thank you all!

    We now move into our final voting phase. We will be giving everyone until Noon, Saturday, November 3/07, PST, to finish their viewing and voting. The polls will remain open until that time, and then will be closed to enable the Mods to begin the counting process. You can also take this time to edit your votes, if necessary. It is easy to edit your poll: you can change your answer by clicking on the poll #, and then clicking the [ Fill-out Poll ] link at the top. Don't forget to click on "submit poll" after you've changed your answers.

    Under the cut, you will find the Master List of all the submissions to help guide you to the entries that you may have missed during this month-long Snarry flurry.

    Do not think the community will be idle, there will be special treats coming up for you. We were unable to organise our usual closing Games Drawbles this year, unfortunately there were too many things to coordinate with the move. But keep an eye out for other things coming during the week.

    We also have new Affiliates to announce! Very exciting.

    And now, we leave you with THE MASTER LIST OF ENTRIES, IN POSTING ORDER )
