Quaffle Talk, Episode 11: The One With The Fabulous Pick-Up Lines
In this episode, the Captains discuss Albus Dumbledore and go places reasonable people just wouldn't go. From there, they move onto a discussion of Naughty Lines From Our Favorite Characters... and continue to move into scary places. We end with site news, a closing word and, for the first time, gag reel!

Site Down Time
We did have some down time this weekend due to hackers.  Please note that if anyone finds these hackers, let The Captains know so that we may feed them to the penguins that took over the Pitch a few weeks ago.  Those penguins are becoming very restless and the noise is really driving making The Captains more crazy -- which is not a good thing.

If you're still having any difficulties accessing the site, please contact The Captains.

Ron-a-Thon

Ron-A-Thon: A silent auction to keep TQP online

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
  1. You may bid as many times as you like in order to win.
  2. Bids will close on the 16th of March and winners notified.
  3. Payment must be made within one week of the end of the auction.
  4. Request for pairing and prompts will be accepted once payment transaction is complete.
  5. 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.
