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. |

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. |
