A Call to Fanfiction Writers

As this group has become my primary source for all things Fanfiction I 
thought I might ask for some special assistance here first.  
I am working on putting together a small online collection of HP 
Fanfic, and I am in need of a few submissions.  
The goal of this project is to collect a series of short Fanfictions 
that explore a single character from the canon in a new and 
interesting way.  I hope to compile stories for as many as the HP 
characters as possible in an effort to create a "secret history" for 
each of them.
The sort of story I am looking for would be short and self-contained 
(perhaps up to 3000 words) with only one main character as the focus.  
This story would show us something about the character in question 
which we have not seen or has not been fully developed yet by JKR.
As for topics or genres or styles, I have no preference (contrary to 
what some may believe).  Stories dealing with Gilderoy Lockhart 
brushing his hair would be as welcome as a recreation of Dumbledore's 
defeat of Grindelwald.
At the moment I would like to start with stories involving the older 
characters (though I'm sure some will claim Oliver Wood is old enough 
for them!), and gradually branch out into character studies of the 
younger inhabitants of Hogwarts.
Though I do not expect this project to be as comprehensive as Famous 
Wizards of the 20th Century, I hope that it might be both enjoyable 
and informative.
I do have several fanfictions already in mind, but I'm waiting to hear 
back from their authors... until then if you are having a difficult 
time visualizing what I am after, here is a link to my own humble 
contribution to fanfiction character study (I'm not going to tell you 
who it's about, it's a surprise :P ):

Submissions (links would probably be easier than actual files, if you 
have already posted it somewhere), suggestions, comments, and 
questions can all be addressed to me at puddlemereunited at yahoo.co.uk
I will try to keep everyone up to date on news of this venture :)

Cheers!
Evelyn
