Closing to New Submissions

As you may know, purported photos of each page of Book Seven are circulating on the internet; most of our fic intake team members would rather not be spoiled for Book Seven, so we are closing the submission form in the next few hours and will reopen it on Monday.

Starting just after midnight on Saturday morning, we will open a forum for ficlets (anything under 3000 words) in the Cookie Jar section of the Park for "flashfics" that contain Book Seven spoilers.

In ArtisticAlley.org, you'll be able to find forums for any new characters, and for art inspired by each chapter of the book.

And starting at midnight on Saturday, please start adding new characters, spells, places and things to HarryPotterWiki.com !


Let us know if you have any questions!

Icon Recs

lidi has an amazing collection of icons that purport to have Book 7 spoilers, but really don't - they're meta-tastic!

Also, I've reopened the poll that I had to close after the assault by wasteofpages - don't look at who voted what way if you want to be 100% sure of avoiding spoilers in usernames, but the number counts can't be spoilery.

And I didn't have a chance to post earlier today but I saw a sneak preview of Hairspray last night and it was altogether perfectly adorable Travolta is adorable and Amanda Bynes who usually annoys me is phenomenally cute and Zach Efron is perfect and Michelle Pfeifer needs to have Miss Baltimore Crabs mashed-up with Cool Rider because OMG the staging is just a subtectual match and the girl who plays Tracy is terrific, as is the girl playing Little Inez. And Queen Latifah is stunning throughout and there must be an oscar nom for New Girl in Town and I Know Where I've Been.

If you need an antidote for any Potter-angst on Saturday or Sunday, go see Hairspray.
