Challenge Name: The Retirement Home For Wizards Challenge
Challenge Deadline: 29th February
Accepted Fandom(s): Harry Potter only (it's my love, forever and always)
Accepted Ratings: Any!

 

Challenge Details:

Bahahaha, so here we go.

It's not secret to anyone, (especially if you know my job) I love old people. They can break our hearts, be responsible for who we all are today, be beautiful, strong, hilarious, downright bizarre, potentially evil... they are frankly, a fantastic collection of people.

Many years ago, along with some other people who will forever be special in my creative writing heart, back on PW we did a AU Wizarding Retirement Home thread with our characters and it was excellent. This memory, combined with my really quite difficult to write recent story about Remus having dementia and visiting my beautiful grandmother recently gave me some inspiration.

Why not have a HP themed fic challenge around them?

The challenge is simple. Write our beloved characters from the HPverse as elderly citizens. They don't have to be in a nursing home, I just thought it worked well for a challenge title.

How you go about this, is entirely up to you. It can be funny, e.g. elderly Neville and elderly Pansy Parkinson re-meet in their nursing home and become best friends (okay this idea is excellent.. if someone doesn't make that happen I may have to) It can be heartbreakingly sad, e.g. (I'm not good with sad scenarios.. but if you make me cry, that's a major win point to you. Everyone likes a good story to cry at) I honestly don't mind. The possibilities are endless!

 

Rules:

  • prewritten entries are fine
  • multiple entries and combinations with other challenges are also ok! (as long as of course this is okay with the other challenge giver) The more fics I have to read and enjoy, the better.
  • any story length, if it's an inspired one-shot or something multi-chaptered, I really don't mind.
  • must include "For The Retirement Home for Wizards Challenge" either in your summary or story notes.

 

Prizes:

  • Every entry gains a review (I'll review each chapter you submit)
  • Award Graphics for the first three places, (and potientially a special mention, so a fourth)
  • Third Place: 1 review on a story of your choice
  • Second Place: 3 reviews on stories of your choice
  • First Place: 5 reviews on stories of my choice

 

 

                                                 I shall leave you with this happy, story inspiring gif. Please have as much fun with this challenge as I did thinking about it.
