Ron-a-Thon
This Ron-a-thon is a two-week, silent auction to help keep The Quidditch Pitch online. In just two years, the site has grown from 200 members to over 12,000. We have been funding the site ourselves since the very beginning, almost three years ago. But we need assistance this year to pay for web hosting and a variety of other expenses that go with running the site.
We appreciate all your support as members and authors over the last two years and would send Ron to you, but Annie refuses to allow him to leave her sight. There might a be court order involved but we have learned not to ask about those things.
Fundraiser Rules and Regulations- You may bid as many times as you like in order to win.
- Bids will close on the 16th of March and winners notified.
- Payment must be made within one week of the end of the auction. Paypal is our preferred method of payment.
- Request for pairing and prompts will be accepted once payment transaction is complete.
- The Author/Artist will have until May 15th to complete all stories and artwork.
Please click the banner to view and bid on all the Authors and Artists.
Our fundraiser ends in less than 24 hours! The last chance to bid is Sunday, 16 March 2008 at 9:59 p.m. EDT. |

Check Your Characters
We've discovered that a few characters changed their identities in the upgrade to eFiction 3.3. If Severus Snape, Nymphadora Tonks, Parvati Patil or Pansy Parkinson are characters in any of your fics, please double-check and verify they haven't decided to change personas. Snape has become Augustus Rookwood, Tonks has become Professor Sinistra, Parvati has become Abraxas Malfoy, and Pansy has become Ernie Macmillian. If you have any difficulties, please don't hesitate to contact The Captains. |
