Erin (Cassirin) and Jan (evlpez) challenge you to

The Snitchseeker 100.

One hundred stories, one hundred words each.

Are you ready?

1. Pick a character that hasn't been claimed (see the 2nd post of this thread). NEW: People may have three claims total combined in the SS100 and SS50.
2. Vow to write 100 drabbles about that character, using the 100 themes provided in the chart below, and post your claim in this thread. For example, "I vow to write 100 drabbles about Ernie MacMillan."
3. Once your claim has been added to the 2nd post, create a new thread in this forum with your first drabble, based on one of the themes in the chart below. Include the list of themes in your first post; you can edit this post every time you post a new drabble, to cross another theme off your list as you complete them.
4. Name your thread <username's> Ernie Drabbles - <rating> or <username's> 100 for Ernie - <rating>, whatever you like, as long as it's identified as yours. It'd be nice if your character's name was in the title as well.
5. Give your drabbles titles if you wish, they don't count towards your 100 word allowance. Definitely number them based on the theme you chose.
6. Every two weeks, you must post a new drabble based on one of the themes you haven't already used. It must be mainly about your chosen character, but you may use the themes in any order you like.
7. You must post every two weeks. You have one chance to miss your day. If you've not written a drabble in one month, your thread will be sent to Finished Stories and your character claim will be given back to the pool to be chosen by someone else.
8. This thread is for claims and questions. Do not post your drabbles or comments here please.
9. As always, all Snitchseeker.com Rules and FF Rules apply. All threads must have a rating of Sa13+ or lower in the title to be validated in Grimmauld Place.

Questions and Answers


Each story must focus on your character(s), either as the main character or the focus of someone else, but the drabbles do not need to be connected in any way. In fact, you could write one in Draco's first year, one in his seventh year on the run, and one in the future... just to start .
_____________________

You should see that some of the groups DO overlap. For example, you could claim Harry or Ginny, or you could claim Harry/Ginny. That goes for your example as well. Any person past, present, or future that was in Slytherin can be used for a drabble. You could even use Slytherin himself, I suppose. As for people in other houses, you may use them, but the FOCUS must remain the Slytherins. Yes?
_____________________


No way! You can totally post all 100 today... and I would be massively impressed if you did! The two weeks is just to let people know our expectation before we let someone else have a chance at their character. No fair hogging if you aren't playing.
_____________________


Oooh... I just answered that one. You can post at any time in the timeline. Make stuff up if you have to.
_____________________


You can be as creative as you like, but the FOCUS of the story... the main character... must be the character you claimed. I could play Crookshanks following Hermione all day, but it should essentially still be about Hermione.
_____________________


Each word counts. We're not going to go around counting words, this works on the honour system. If it helps you, MS Word has a word count function under the 'Tools' menu. Keep a file in which you write all your drabbles in MS Word. That's what I use. The point of this is to challenge yourself and make each story exactly 100 words long. You can do it!
_____________________


I'll answer this. Hehe! Because like many SnitchSeekers, you're clever and fun-loving, and you love a challenge. And because you want to be a great writer!
_____________________


Currently, the Fan Fiction department and rules allows comments in story threads. This has been the case for as long as I can remember, but I have to admit, I hate the spam we get with this policy. EDIT: We've decided to go with one community discussion thread for now. No comments in writers' drabble threads please. If you want to give private comments or constructive criticism, please PM the author. Thanks.

If you claim the Trio, each drabble must be about the Trio. It doesn't matter whose point of view it is from. One could be from Harry's, one from Dobby's, or anyone else's, as long as the Trio are prominent in each drabble.
_____________________


Hm. Good question. I would suggest that if you've chosen 'The Twins', then both must be present. If you wish to claim one twin abut whom you'll write 100 drabbles, and we'll add him to the list.

A drabble is a story of 100 words (you must tell a story using only 100 words, so choose them wisely). This challenge asks you to write 100 drabble stories about a character/ship/group of your choosing. The 100 Drabbles (the word/phrase list in the 1st post) are THEMES, upon which you must base your 100 drabbles. So one post you would write drabble #1 - Herbology and the story must be about your character and relate to herbology in some way. Your next post could be drabble #92 and be about your character and chocolate. Once you have chosen a character and been added to the list in the 2nd post, you may post your drabble thread in this forum, making sure first that it complies with The FF Rules.
_____________________


1. You should post within a week or two of claiming. And you can post as many as you want, but you must post at least one drabble every two weeks. Missing four weeks will lose you your claim on your character no matter how frequently you posted before that.
2. The FF Rules apply. Proof read your work and use a Beta Reader if you need one, but don't post with poor grammar, punctuation or spelling, there's no excuse for it. If you want to play, respect your readers enough to work at it. Thanks.
_____________________


Yes, you may claim more than one character/ship/whatever, as long as you have every intention of keeping them up!
_____________________


The FF rules requires that the first post of any new FF thread has a sample of writing in it to help the FF Mods decide whether it can be validated. So yes please!
_____________________


They can be from any time, as long it's about both of them. They could be meeting, dating, hating each other, married, dead.. whatever.
_____________________


You can base your drabbles on canon (what we know to be true, from the books and interviews) or AU (Alternate Universe).. as long as they follow the site & FF rules.
If you're not sure about a word in the list, please use a dictionary. We've proof-read it, and there shouldn't be errors. Teem is indeed the word.
_____________________


Not to worry - if you happen to be overloaded with schoolwork and can't manage to post a drabble within two weeks, someone else can step in for you! So your past drabbles won't be lost at all (it will be sent to Finished Stories if you haven't posted in a month), and your character will be freed so someone else can claim him/her. Happy writing!
_____________________


As long as Rita is a major part of the story, it can be from any point of view. Someone else could talk about her, she could be quietly witnessing something, she could be interacting with another character; any way.
_____________________


For our purposes (and I've never seen it otherwise but I might be wrong) drabbles are stories of 100 words. Fiction, rather than wordplay, is what we're aiming for. If you wanted to make your drabble a story written in rhyme, well there's a cool challenge for you. But unless you're making a story with it, I wouldn't use an acrostic poem.
_____________________


Yup... exactly 100. That's the challenge.
_____________________


They can be about any time in the character's life, and they don't need to be tied together (they each must stand alone as stories) except that they're all about your claimed character.
_____________________


Yup! Sounds great! As long as Colin's involved.
_____________________

There must be 100; one drabble for each prompt.
_____________________

Sure. Have at it!
Edit: Those wishing to write crossovers should choose one other fandom or even better, a specific character or group from that fandom to cross with Harry Potter.
_____________________

I think you're asking if we require you to add that list of drabble topics in your first post. The answer is YES... we do. It's super easy to do, though, as all you have to do is cut and paste from the attachment Jan has provided, or even from another thread.
_____________________

Right now when someone finishes, the thread gets moved into the SS100 Hall of Fame (the forum for finished drabbles from the SS100). No more posts may be made in it, and the character claim is freed up for someone else to claim.
_____________________

Any thread that hasn't had an update in 1 month forfeits the author's claim and gets moved to the Finished Drabbles forum (We want to see at least a post every two weeks but we don't start Mod action until a month has passed, 'cause we're nice that way ). The site being closed for 2-3 days doesn't prevent any of us from actually writing, just posting during that time. It only takes a minute to post something previously written, so a closure that short doesn't have any impact on whether a thread is active or inactive. Short answer: No, but don't worry about it unless you've gone a month since you posted.
_____________________

All new threads must have a rating in the title and some story in it. In the case of the SS100 and SS50-1, your first ficlet or drabble must be in the first post (Mods cannot evaluate whether you've read the rules or will follow them in your thread if you don't give a sample of writing for us to evaluate). If you missed either of those elements, it's been deleted and you need to re-submit after reviewing the FF rules. Thanks!

I will no longer add ratings to SS100 and SS50-1 threads for you. It's in the rules, you must do it yourself or your threads won't be validated.

I've just recently posted an announcement at the top of this forum (and all FF forums) that reminds you all to read the FF rules before submitting any new threads. The rules are also within the announcement for your convenience. Thanks.
