Hey all! The results are up! Everyone passed. I'm so proud of all of you. ♥ Way to go!

I am a bit confused. One of you put in three adjectives in a question that only had two blanks. Other than that question (which neither of you were correct), everyone did pretty well.

This concludes our Harry Potter section. Now we take a portkey to our next destination!

Meeting begins with ten-minute break!

-

phnx is still reading the first portion of

thetyro’s fic, and

thetyro is still reading

roguemariel’s fic. Meanwhile,

roguemariel is still contemplating adding more questions to the quiz. Brief discussion of fics occurs before

phnx and

roguemariel run off for tea.

Break ends!

-

thetyro and

roguemariel have Bookmarks!

thetyro has comments from way back when that he didn’t know about.
-People who don’t know how to use AO3. >: (
-People who don’t know how to use series (vs. chapters vs. arbitrary references in fic summaries). >: (
-Line graphs you can recreate with your arms are probably not terribly detailed.
-Illegal downloading and its relation to the world’s declining population of whales.

Proper meeting stuff!

-Prompt! Harry might be a janitor. Tune in next month to find out!
-Rec! quiz!
-

phnx and

roguemariel disagree about the answer(s) to

roguemariel’s fic. As per usual.
-Hashtags or no hashtags?

Ridiculous fandoms and thetyro’s need for new headphones.

-They are ridiculous
-Also, ledgers are frustrating. Who owes whom money again?
-Skype. >: (

thetyro didn’t realise the meeting was still going.

-But he has movie tickets for tonight, so.
-There is much confusion as to which letters people are talking about. Way more confusion than is merited by

phnx’s vague wording.

roguemariel dies a tragic and dramatic death via the Riddikulus spell.

New Roles for the month:

Head Boy:

thetyro

NEW RULE: IF YOU DIDN’T SUBMIT A COMPLETE WORK OR CHAPTER FOR YOUR PROMPT BY THE DESIGNATED MEETING, THE OMEGA IN QUESTION WILL NOT ADVANCE TO ALPHA FOR THE NEXT MONTH. In this case, the previous alpha will remain alpha for an additional month, and there will be two omegas (dun dun DA DA!!).

E.g.

Meeting A:

Alpha: T (prompt, rec, quiz)
Beta: R (beta-reader)
Omega: P (writing submission, chooses time and venue)

Meeting B: Omega P failed to complete submission on time.

Alpha: T (submits only rec and quiz)
Beta: N/A
Omega: R, P (both work on submissions; R is responsible for choosing time and venue, P submits a prompt but no required reading or quiz)

Meeting C: P and R successfully submitted their works.

Alpha: R, P (each submit recs and quizzes, but only R submits a prompt)
Beta: N/A
Omega: T (writing submission, chooses time and venue)

Meeting D: (/cycle, +free month, +drawing of roles; but it would naturally fall as:)

Alpha: T (prompt, rec, quiz)
Beta: R (beta-reader)
Omega: P (writing submission, chooses time and venue)

Title: My job is secure. No one else wants it.
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters/Pairing: Golden Trio, Draco&Friends, Draco/Harry(maybe)
Prompt: A job fair comes to Hogwarts. Harry is expecting a relaxed day listening to presentations and wandering around looking at posters. He quickly discovers, however, that job fairs, like so many other things, are completely different in the wizarding world. Many extremely concerning practical demonstrations occur--Harry manages to get injured during every single one.

There were only two fics I could really find that fit what I wanted; I decided to rec Broccoli and the Art of Subterfuge, by opalish (sorry,

thetyro, I know you don't like kid!fic). Here is the quiz.

The other one I found is fully next!gen; if you're really, really brave, feel free to read it here: Books By Their Covers, by wldnst. I know none of you will actually read that one, but... I thought it would put it out there (because it's amazing).

phnx

WRITING CHALLENGE:
choose freely—we’ll only mock you relentlessly

PROPOSED TITLE (open to changes):
PRIMARY CHARACTERS: Golden Trio, Draco&Friends
SECONDARY CHARACTERS (optional): Charlie Weasley, Norbert the Dragon, Horace Slughorn, Mad-Eye Moody
PAIRING: HPDM or gen
SYNOPSIS: A job fair comes to Hogwarts. Harry is expecting a relaxed day listening to presentations and wandering around looking at posters. He quickly discovers, however, that job fairs, like so many other things, are completely different in the wizarding world. Many extremely concerning practical demonstrations occur--Harry manages to get injured during every single one.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

-The demonstrations include trial runs in which the students have to complete a task relating to a “normal day on the job.” Moody's Auror demonstration, in which teams of students are assigned to locate and arrest unlawful trolls (they are not plants, they are actually trying to kill us, this is a thing that is happening), goes about as well as can be expected. On the bright side, a lot of hard-working Aurors got the day off.
-Charlie Weasley does a How to Train a Dragon demonstration. Approximately zero students are inspired to take on the job, but at least nobody died.
-Horace Slughorn, retired professor of potions at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, current chief consultant to Brewers & Sons, est. 1602, now hiring!!! arrives to do some elaborate potions demonstrations that send Harry and Draco to the hospital wing.
(Snape is still the Potions Professor, the students have never met Slugborn before...)
-Harry discovers within himself a nurturing side when the representative from St Mungo's compliments his intuitive and skillful Healing spells.
-Draco discovers within himself a nurturing side when the representative of Medicinal Potions Incorporated, Partners to St Mungo's, demonstrates how they make complicated poisons and antidotes (but mostly the poisons).
-Hogwarts puts on its own demonstration, encouraging students to become professors. It's embarrassing for everyone.
-The Unspeakables don't give a presentation, they give a comprehensive exam and a psych eval. Hermione is intrigued.

***Remember that just because I am throwing these things at you, it does not mean that you have to explicitly state everything I wrote in this prompt. Fic does not have to be 16K, I promise.***

roguemariel is pissed. omega once more. damnit

phnx. The next month is going to be fantastic. (That was sarcastic, guys.)

The letters in their entirety may be viewed here. They are amazing, holy shit

phnx.

thetyro understands why

phnx was so excited. It is no longer considered an over-reaction.

phnx and

thetyro make fun of

roguemariel's hopping. The boxes will be taken out eventually. Hush.
New fandom and reading posted! We are now Harry Potter! New roles are:
Alpha is now Head Boy/Head Girl
Beta is now Prefect
Omega is now First Year.

thetyro asks about

roguemariel's horrible, no good, very bad Thursday.
It was awful. Some guy made announcements.

thetyro thinks

roguemariel should go to bed.

thetyro is looking at the new letter writing community. It's going... interestingly.

thetyro looks at this. This one requires questions.
First guess: Gwen.
Second guess: None. To be returned to later.

thetyro looks at this.
First guess: Botan. Yay! Good job,

thetyro.

thetyro looks at this. This one requires questions.

phnx needs to stop helping.
First guess: Draco Malfoy.
Second guess: Cedric Diggory. Good job!

thetyro looks at this.
Sadly, he has never read Hana-Kimi, but assumes it's the doctor.

thetyro looks at this.
This is not something

thetyro knows, but believes it to be "Arthur's father who is definitely not Giles." Excellent.

Does

thetyro know Hika-Go? We'll find out! The answer: Yes.

thetyro looks at this.
First guess: The ghost, the go ghost. "His name's not Sai..." No.

thetyro, his name is Sai.

Apparently, Pendragon is more memorable than Uther. Odd.

How are we getting rid of the Head Girl/Boy?

roguemariel votes for "Avada kedavra!" No takers.

A small discussion on why Voldemort was a horrible role model for taking over the world.

thetyro does not recognize Imperio when he hears it. Wow,

thetyro. Wow.

Harry almost never gets hit by Avada Kedavra. He gets hit by Imperio much more.

phnx must be "killed" by Expecto Patronum! (

thetyro says, "If the shoe fits." I am not sure if that was a compliment.)

thetyro may or may not be defeated by Imperio. I'm not actually sure.

roguemariel is just going to be Head Girl forever. Bwahahahaha.
Nevermind,

roguemariel is to be removed by Riddikulus! Why.

phnx will someday say, "There will be no foolish pencil waving or silly spoken comments in this class!" I approve.

Butterbeer recipes are being contemplated.

Pottermore is a disappointment. Why, Pottermore. Why.

"We're all first years!" --

Next cycle (005!), we will all be writing--

With this in mind, I have prepared some required reading for all pack members: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ~~in its entirety~~ Chapter 10. I know some of us might not have our personal copies of the books on hand, so I included a pdf link. The associated quiz can be found here.

The recommended fanfic for the free month is Reflections in Erised, by xPhineasx. You may not like the pairing, but the fic is also only 1,198 words, so. Deal. The quiz can be found here.

Don't forget to fill out the New Fandom Interest Inquiry form before the new cycle begins (November 7/8). There is also a new writing challenge template which is Harry Potter specific.

--

Some additional fandom resources:

If you'd like to rec HPDM fic but you don't know where to start or you can't find that one fic from when you were ~~twelve~~ last in the fandom, you might want to check out Sulky-Rhino's Harry/Draco Portal.

My old favourite mega-pairing portal is now long gone, I'm afraid, but here are the fics I compiled in a rec list--still with limited pairing choice, because... well. But they're there.

phnx

Hi guys! For our very last Teen Wolf quiz, I'd like to report:

Congratulations, everyone passed! Here are the results, if you'd like to take a look.

I would like to congratulate

thetyro on getting the first answer right. I know it was very difficult, but we're all very proud of you. However, why did you pick "Other" when there were perfectly good language options?

I want you both to know that I'm sad that no one picked "Romulan." So sad.

I would also like to take this moment to appreciate that

phnx wanted to ensure that we were all aware that Derek is usually covered in blood.

Guys, I can't believe that Teen Wolf is over. What are we going to do with the True Alpha pins now?
