SPOOKY STORIES Welcome to the October edition of the potpourri blog series! This month we've got a few Community Coordinator-written short, spooky stories for your enjoyment. | M A G E M A D I | One mid-October evening, a pair of young men were walking along the bike trail near their homes when the sudden screeching of an owl nearby made them nearly jump out of their skin with fright. Another owl screech had them quickening their pace towards home, but under the light of the waning moon it was hard for them to see if they were even going in the right direction. They t

Jane the Virgin! One of my favourite TV shows

I just want to add that we used the term Latino over Latinx or Hispanic here after digging into research on preferred terms from the community and the connotations behind each. Latino seems to be the least divisive and encompasses more. If you have any additional recs, we’d love to hear them!

We are celebrating Latino History Month (September 15-October 15) and we've brought our best selections prominently featuring Latino characters. This is an expanded version of our rec list from tumblr here+.

i've been reading this series lately (part way through book 2 at the moment) and i love them! honestly i recommend them so much!

this was a joy to read again, i am very much here for your spreadsheet powers/insanity

lo this is insane and i love you very much for doing this

foreword: i am someone who enjoys knowing things. i dont like driving behind trucks on the highway because i cant see far ahead, i spoil myself on almost every show/movie because i need to know what happens before it happens, and i generally dont like it when i am left out of the loop. i am aware there's probably some sort of control issue, but that's not the point -> the point is i spent way too long creating a google spreadsheet and mapping things out during hc finale '20, made a thread about my predictions, and then used funny gifs to show my fellow gryffs exactly how off the deep end i

Ahhh thank you so much Madi!! congrats to @la_topolinaand @BellaLestrange87- this challenge was so much fun and truly a challenge for me

Thank you for running this challenge @magemadi!! It was really fun to figure out how to throw St Mungo and Andromeda together. And these awards are beautiful @BellaLestrange87

The Crackship Challenge Results Welcome to the results of the Crackship Challenge! The requirements for this challenge were simple -- write a fic of two highly unlikely and randomized characters as a believable romantic story! Participants were given two randomly assigned characters as their ship, as a crackship is usually defined as a ship that would not happen in canon due to regular storytelling purposes or due to timeline barriers. I received 3 wonderful entries, all of which were written extremely well and made it so difficult to choose a winner! ENTRIES Going Awa

Thanks for doing all these stats and for running a great game!

The stats were my favorite part to do You did end up winning -- based on how the rules were written and Prefects deliberated.

Amazing job community coordinators, you hosted such an amazing challenge, and handled some unfortunate circumstances amazingly well. Love the write up, and good job to everyone (but especially my Gryffies :P) Hats off to @pirate grumpy cat for all those recommendations and blog posts (dang so many words!), @hotel california for so many reviews, @VaguelyCreativeName on so many review responses, @prideofprewett for some amazing WJ posts, @RogueSlytherin for livening up all our threads, @Hawksquill for writing so many drabbles, and every single other person from the houses who participated,

I was wondering the same... Anyway, this was such a fun event! Thank you, Prefects, for the hard work you put in it!

omg i love that breakdown of individual statistics! thank you again for hosting, prefects, this was such a fun event! One question though, I thought we ended up losing that final round against Slytherin, so shouldn't the winning bonus have gone to them rather than Hufflepuff?

i will come back with my book review word count at some point congrats everyone and thank you community coordinators for a really fun game!!
