Welcome everyone to Charms. I am Professor Flitwick.
Well, well. After that tough challenge and even tougher discussion, it is now time for a somewhat simpler challenge. All you must do is work together and write me a story on 2 rolls. That’s it.
Sounds difficult?
Well let’s make it easier. Each prefect will choose 3 people. These 3 people will work with another house’s representatives and write me a story. Simple really.
Still difficult?
Well how about this? I’ll partner you up. Gryffindor with Ravenclaw and Slytherin with Hufflepuff.
Oh and the story must revolve around this plot: Ron accidentally casts a spell that sends Hermione to Vansh Raisinghania’s house (Ishq Main Marjawan 2). She sees Aryan and Ishaani being mean to Riddhima and decides to set them straight before leaving.
The story should be a maximum of 7 pages on Word, size 11 Calibri. No minimum limit. You do not need to provide an intro or a conclusion. Imagine that the judges know exactly who Ron and Hermione are and who Vansh, Aryan, Ishaani, and Riddhima are. Also imagine that the story is to be continued from wherever you stop off.
The story must be written in English only. A few Hindi words here and there is fine.
When posting the story, clearly mark off what part was written by which house. If only one person wrote the story, then mark off how the work was divided in the first post. I will also be PMing the Prefects and each of the 3 representatives from each house to gain an understanding of which house did what and I expect to be included in the discussions. Both what the Prefects tell me and what I see will be important for some bonus points (see below).
The full house can get involved in planning if they want, but the 3 people should really do the majority of the work.
Points:
Points will be awarded by external judges on factors such as creativity, how well you merge the different universes, grammar, length, and overall flow. These points will not be available by the third round. Each category will be marked out of 10. Thus, your story will get full marks out of 50.
The same points will be given to both houses that are paired together for the story. For example, if the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff story gets 40 points, then both houses will get those 40 points.
There are another 50 points to be awarded based on each house’s contribution. These points will be divided between the two houses based on their contribution. The house that contributed more will get more points. If both houses contributed equally then both will get a bonus 25 points. See above for exactly how to note each house’s contribution.
There is one task-based bonus point that will remain hidden till results for this round are ready but will be awarded to one pair.
Stories are to be posted in this forum by August 14th 11:59 PM IST. The next round will be posted immediately as it will take our judges time to give the stories marks and I do not want to hold up the remainder of the championship.
NOTE: Just to clarify, the stories should be posted in a separate thread on the forum. The first post should have the division of labour details and the second post the story.
7 pages Word is just as a limit. You won't be penalized if you're like 3 lines over or half a page over. But don't go overboard and do 10 pages on Word. We want these stories to be short and sweet.
