We're thrilled to announce our April challenge - it's a slightly cracked
crossover extravaganza!

Click here - http://www.fictionalley.org/challenge2007/april/  - and get a
randomized prompt (and read the rules) here</a> and see just how far afield
the Harry Potter universe goes - will you go to Singapore with the Pirates
of the Caribbean? Chase a striga with the Winchesters in Nebraska? Take a
trip on the Enterprise, find yourself on a not-so-deserted island with a
polar bear, save the cheerleader and save the world, or audition for
American Idol with Superman?

Find out and see how magical creativity can be!

(Don't forget - art, icons, vids and fic are all acceptable as challenge
entries!)

During his owlpost duties, Snarky (that's the Snapecast owl for those
who don't know) managed to come across an unclaimed ticket to Phoenix
Rising. Since we were already planning to sneak him into PR for free
by pretending he's an owl plushie, we've decided to give the ticket to
one lucky listener.

So, if you're still hoping to register for Phoenix Rising and would
like to be entered in a drawing, give us a shout!

For more information on how to enter see...

The winners will be announced on our website by noon EST on Saturday,
April 21st.

Happy Snape-ing!

Hey all,

I'm new to this group, and it looks like a lot of fun!

I have a fanfiction site, it's called "Or Worse Expelled
<http://community.livejournal.com/orworseexpelled>  ."  It's on Live
Journal <http://www.livejournal.com>  , but even if you don't have a LJ,
or don't want to register, you can still go see it.  It's just letters,
notes, journal entries, and other random things Hermione Granger would
write.  I don't update it too often, but hopefully this summer, after
school is out, I will be updating a lot more often.

My community also has a Yahoo! group, so you can be alerted when I do update.

Thanks!

Subject: Terminus: Harry Potter in Chicago August 7-11, 2008
Message-ID: <693150.64986.qm@...>

Dear Harry Potter for Grownups members,

The bustling hub of downtown Chicago will be the setting for Terminus,
an academic conference on Harry Potter, to be held August 7-11, 2008.
The second presentation of Narrate Conferences, Inc., Terminus will
bring adult scholars, students, and fans from around the globe to the
historic Hilton Chicago Hotel to analyze and explore the complete Harry
Potter series.

The programming schedule will include a variety of offerings --
including formal lectures, participatory workshops, roundtable
discussions, and explorations of craft -- that will give attendees the
chance to expand their knowledge and understanding of the Harry Potter
series. Especially important is the interdisciplinary study of J. K.
Rowling's Harry Potter series, with an emphasis on discourse and
sharing scholarship between academics, students, professionals,
writers, artists, and fans. Additionally, Terminus, one of the first
major Harry Potter gatherings following the publication of the final
book in the series, presents the perfect opportunity for analysis of
the novels in their entirety.

Terminus begins on Thursday, August 7, 2008, with the Arrival Dinner
and opening of the Pan-Magical Games, which includes the Trade Winds
Quidditch Tournament and Thoths Tournament of Knowledge. Other events
include a wizarding talk show; Artists and Authors night, which will
highlight creative fan pursuits; a bon voyage ball in honor of Harry
himself; and the Departure Breakfast. Guests of Honor and keynote
presentations will be announced at a later date.

"Were very excited to hold Terminus in Chicago," noted lead event
organizer Hallie Tibbetts. "Chicago is an ideal location for a
conference to bring together enthusiasts from around the world, as it's
a travel hub, and were very lucky to have the historic Hilton Chicago
Hotel for a venue -- it's magical all in itself."

Registration for the conference is now open, with an introductory price
of $120 for the entire conference. Registrations include five days of
educational and interactive programming; the events, including the
Pan-Magical Games, a wizarding talk show, Artists and Authors Night,
and the Bon Voyage Ball; the Arrival Dinner and Departure Breakfast;
and a conference t-shirt. Registrants may also purchase tickets for the
Quidditch and trivia tournaments and keynote presentations. The first
100 registrants will receive a special limited edition "Terminus:
Arriving 2008" t-shirt as thanks for being an early supporter.

Terminus is a presentation of Narrate Conferences, Inc., a 501(c)(3)
charitable organization dedicated to creating dynamic, inventive events
for adult scholars, students, educators, librarians, professionals and
fans from around the world. For more information on Terminus, visit
