TQP Queue
The Queue is now reopened, but please give us a day or two to process the stories currently within the queue. If your story has not been processed by Wednesday, please let The Captains know. Additionally, if a story of yours has languished in the beta queue, please let us know. We're doing our best to keep on top of things, but the holidays, illness, and job changes among the Captains have really distracted our attention. |

Year End Polls
We had hoped to announce the winner, but have encountered technical difficulties with the polls. We are trying to decide how to resolve them and hope to made a decision tomorrow night. Please stay tuned and thank you for your patience. |

Policy Change for Processing Submissions and Posting Betaed Fics
To the authors and members of The Quidditch Pitch,
Due to changes in our staffing levels, we are implementing a change to the submission and upload process, effective 5 June 2008.- You may submit stories at any time.
- Submissions will be processed Saturday through Wednesday. All approvals or rejections will happen only during that time period.
- Stories edited by our beta staff will be uploaded Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
We hope this will not be a long-term change since we are actively hiring for Quidditch Coordinators to work the submission queue.&nbp; If you are interested in applying for the position, please apply here. You must be 18 to apply for the job of Quidditch Coordinator. |

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. |

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.
- Request for pairing and prompts will be accepted once payment transaction is complete.

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. |
