Weekly Writing Challenge Ideas
While I come up with most of our challenges, I'm always open to suggestions. If you have an idea for a challenge, please feel free to post it in this thread. You will of course receive full credit for any ideas we use. 💚
I was reminded of the dancing lesson McGongall was giving her lions in the GoF movie and you already know where this is going...
If McGonagall was responsible for teaching her lions, Snape must have had to teach his snakes. So, how about we get a glimpse of the lesson or a flashback of how Snape learned to dance in the first place.
Without any context whatsoever, here is a list of titles I've come up with; I'm thinking that people who choose to pick a title can interpret it however they want.
- Snapes on a Plane
- The Snaped Crusader
- Dungeon Bats and Dragons
- Severus Sniper
- Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Snape
- Potion Master and Commander
- Twelve Angry Snapes
- Snape-nado
- Nightmare on Spinner's End
- Mission: Snape-Possible
- Snape's Eleven
- Snape of the Dead
- Snape in Black
- The Prince's Bride
- Legally Snape
- Severus Snape's Diary
- Snape Actually
- Snapey Dancing
- The Snape-posal
- Snape Congeniality
- Confessions of a Snape-aholic
- Snape and the City
I have an idea. This post might be too long. Maybe finish this: One night, (name) bent over a copy of (HP book) beneath the dim lit ceiling. (Paragraph). A light vortex formed in the pages. (Descriptive parts). (name) found (pronoun) as (HP Character). And then try to make yourself the main character and change the story through your actions.
Oh wow, that's an awesome idea! We could also use it for a Round Robin where everyone who signs up participates as themselves.
What do you think, @thegestaltprince?
So just to clarify, would we be ourselves in our own bodies, or are we hijacking someone else's body and acting as that character?

I like the idea of hijacking someone else body, I'd take either Neville or Draco.
I meant the first option. I mean, isn't hijacking canon characters and making them do what we want what we normally do? 😉
I think the way it's worded is that (name) is a separate character to whatever character (pronoun) is hijacking. So an example would be "Steve is sucked into a Harry Potter book and finds himself stuck in the body of Severus Snape"
