Potions Results and Discussion

:cauldron:September 6th - September 12th 11:59 pm GMT:cauldron:

Welcome to the most dreadful part of being a mad scientist -- writing about your experiment! As Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame once said:

Hopefully you've already started working on that mad scientist network of yours, but as any scientist knows, if you aren't working on multiple projects at once, are you even a mad scientist? 

Your task for this week is to write up brief reports on any of the four (4) topics listed below. 

  • HP - Write about a potion creation going wrong
  • HP - Write about an unlikely apprenticeship in the Wizarding World
  • HP, Original Fiction - Write about the discovery of a deadly new species
  • Original Fiction - Write about an awards ceremony for a scientific achievement that ends up being disastrously evil

There are some guidelines you must follow with these reports -- otherwise how can we judge who's got the craziest scientific ideas?

  • Must be posted to the HPFT Archive
  • Five hundred (500) words maximum -- with a fifty (50) word allowance for the archive counter
  • Maximum of two (2) submissions per member -- no limit on overall House submissions (minimum of one per House)
  • No pre-written pieces
  • No collaborations
  • Must put which prompt you used somewhere in the story/chapter summary
  • Post the link to the story (validated or not) in this thread by the deadline, and PM a Prefect once validated if after this task closes

Points Breakdown: 

  • Points per Entry - 5 points
  • Quality Points
    • 1st Place - 60 points
    • 2nd Place - 45 points
    • 3rd Place - 30 points
    • 4th Place - 15 points

If you have any questions about this task, post here in this thread! With that, have fun and get to writing up those results!

is there a minimum word count requirement? as for quality points - do we choose quality submissions or are you going to consider everything submitted?

The minimum wordcount is just the archive minimum (100 words).

We will be considering everything submitted for QP.

is it okay if we put the prompt in the end notes? or would you prefer story/chapter summary? ❤️
