A Busy Month, A Few New Recommendations and A Mystery Winner
July is turning out to be a very very busy month at HPFF. To start out with, we held a very successful competition that has ended in just as much mystery as Trelawney’s disappearance. Our Mystery winner has not yet been announced because we’re waiting on information on how to deal with the prize.
Our site’s competition sponsor, Alivans: Maker of Fine Wands, donated a fabulous crystal ball. This is a must for all your divination needs. In a selfless act our mystery Ravenclaw has offered to donate the prize towards our RIF summer campaign. More information will be posted soon, we just want to make certain all our ‘i’ are dotted and ‘t’ are crossed before we make an official announcement. The answers to the riddles will also be posted before the end of the month. We’d like you guys to think of this competition as a warm up. We’ll be having another big competition this fall that is endorsed by the Dark Lord himself. If you guys would like to send us feedback on what you’d like to see in our future competitions please e-mail your suggestions to competition(at)harrypotterfanficition.com.
In the spirit of our RIF campaign we have updated our recommended author(s), story and
top 5. Our recommended authors for the month of July are our Prefects for their effort in the “Prefect Story” collaboration. They’ve all decided to torture us staff members by making us guess who wrote what story. While I guessed who wrote my story, some of them are still posing a little bit of a mystery. I think Ravengryffendor is proving to be the sneakiest sleuth in the group. I think the Slytherins were considering trying to get her to join their lot.
Our recommended story this month is also very special to the site. It’s a collection of bedtime stories for the youngest of Harry Potter fans. This project was put together by our own Timeturner. It’s also a collaboration of stories from various authors across the site. I had the privilege of testing my own pen in this endeavor and the proved to be one of the most challenging pieces I’ve ever written. The reason I say this piece is special is because it directly relates to our RIF campaign. Our goal with this campaign was to help make illiteracy a relevant point and one of the simplest things you can do to help make sure reading is an important part of the children you love lives is to read to them.
