10 years ago...The first Snarry Games and Walking the Plank was revamped!  
It's hard to believe, but I was just cleaning out some emails, and we sent out the first Snarry Games (ex-Olympics) letters in March of 2006, and the Art Games letters were being prepared in the summer of the same year.

It was February 2006 that many people toiled endlessly to save the Detention fic and start the Walking The Plank site (2.0 version).

Wow. 10 years.

Hi! Snarry and Drarry are still going strong in the HP fandom, which is amazing, even now. HP fen really rock it!

Walking the Plank wants YOU!  
Hello, everyone!

This was a spectacular selection of fics, and a banner year for the number of entries! Thanks to everyone who participated. This is a great fandom.

As you all know, [info]djin7 & [info]reddwarfer  are both mods at Walking the Plank.  [info]aliciamasters (that's me!) is lucky enough to be the headmistress.  Therefore, we would be honored and overjoyed if you decided to host your fic at Walking the Plank, now that the fest is over. 

We have created TWO TEAM open series under djin7's name, one for Team Dragon and one for Team Phoenix.

Due to the tremendous team spirit, we have also added two other series: 2008 Comment Porn, under RaeWhit, and 2008 Opening & Closing Ceremonies, which can include all the wonderful extras posted on the comm.

If you've never hosted at Walking the Plank, it is a moderated community of Snarry fanfiction and fanart. 

Here's where you sign up for an account.  You'll love it:  I promise! 

These are the submission guidelines.  In addition, we have walkthroughs created to help you figure out how to post. 

Once it's up, reply to this post, and I will take it through the submissions process and add it to the series, so that everyone who followed the Snarry Games can find your teammates' stories together. All your entry needs to say is I'm ready!  (It can say more if you want, though.) If you are struggling, or need help getting your entry up on the site, let me know.  We'll work something out.  My e-mail is aliciamastersATgmailDOTcom.



Here are a few FAQs about an Open Series.
( Get your questions answered here. )
Are you fascinated by Walking the Plank? We are always looking for volunteers, both as mods and technical support. Here are the volunteering guidelines. I was very lucky to be a mod on this contest, and I'm amazed at the talent in our fandom!  Meanwhile, I hope you will consider WTP a home for your art.If you agreed to archiving, but you don't have time to upload, I will contact you to arrange a mod upload. I'd love to have a complete set of Champions. (Hint, hint, Earlier Champions! We still have a few stories & artwork missing!)   REMEMBER:  if something is stopping you, please feel free to contact me.  Maybe we can work it out.



Special Note: the WTP mods are having a Snarry Games fic & art AMNESTY for July. We will be offering to help upload fic and art by posting on the original post, and will also accept requests on this post. If you will have the time to do it yourself, we would appreciate your help in doing so, but if you have never posted your art or fic, and don't think you will without our help, let us do it for you. We want to have all the 2006, 2007 and 2008 series completed by the end of August, if the champions are willing. After LJ strikethrough 2007, we want to ensure that work this good always has a home, and we want a searchable, useable team listing for everyone to enjoy.


Thank you for letting me be a part of this experience!  I hope I see you at Walking the Plank soon!

Walking the Plank now has a challenge community. The first is a DH Canon Challenge; check it out, and join if you are interested! There are spoilers within the banner art, so I am putting it beneath a cut.

Archiving on Walking the Plank  

Original poster: aliciamasters

Dear Champions:

We know life is busy, and it's hard to remember to take the time to archive on Walking the Plank.  After a conversation with [info]djin7 last night, we have put together a stunning, one time offer!   Therefore, we declare this to be:

ARTIST AND AUTHOR AMNESTY WEEK!!!

For this week only, I will upload art that either gives permission in the credits, or stories and art where the creator comments to this post.  You won't have to do the work:  it will all be done for you.  I can't guarantee I will get to everyone, so first come, first served!

(If any fellow mods from Walking the Plank are reading this, feel free to google talk me at aliciamasters, or just join in the fun!  Please? Pretty Please?)

ETA:  I know some of you needed accounts, which I created at WTP.  Comment to this post if you want the account released to you, so that you can continue to post and comment at WTP!  Thanks so much, everyone!

ETA 2:  Just for clarification:  WTP is a moderated site.  The mods will still be approving the fic/art on SPAG guidelines, and could reject a fic for Spelling, Punctuation or Grammar. If that's the case, you would receive a letter explaining the reason.  Instead of the fic being sent back to you, it would never be uploaded.  Thanks again!

As you all know, [info]djin7 and I are both mods at Walking the Plank.  [info]snapetoy, one of your lovely silver medalists, is our fearless leader.  Your teammates are also mods:  [info]vain,[info]stellahobbit,[info]venivincere, [info]reddwarfer, and [info]rexluscus.  (Did I forget anyone?  I hope not, but I'm exhausted!  Do you wish you were on this list?  Feel free to volunteer!)  Therefore, we would be honored and overjoyed if you decided to host your stories at Walking the Plank, now that the fest is over.  I have created two open series under djin7's name, one for Team Romance and one for Team Angst.

I was very lucky to be a mod on this contest, and I'm already looking forward to the Snarry Games, Art Style!  Meanwhile, I hope you will consider WTP a home for your fic.  REMEMBER:  if something is stopping you, please feel free to contact me.  Maybe we can work it out.

Thank you for letting me be a part of this experience!  I hope I see you at Walking the Plank soon!

ETA:  Elfwreck reminded me about the drabbles!  I'll make a series for them, too!
ETA2:  Stellahobbit had to remind me she is a mod, which is shameful, because she is both an extraordinary mod and the object of my unhealthy obsession great love.  That is inexcusable, and while the post is edited to fix it, I will be applying forty lashes strict discipline  whatever punishment she sees fit. Stella, you're more than a mod;  you're worthy of worship!
