Submissions Request

Hi!  Things are much better here, but the past few days have been rough.   There was yelling, crying…then eventually hugs and giggling.    That's how fights usually work with me and Julia.

I have awesome news, but most of you will have no idea what I'm talking about.   Our dad went out and bought us a Nintendo 64!!!!   It's a video game thing.   I don't think you guys have video games, right?    Anyway, it's so cool.   Instead of obsessing over certain dark wizards, we can obsess over fighting Bowser.   

Anyway…..

The main purpose of this post is to ask for submissions for this blog.   I don't want to be the only one doing the posts here.   I mean it's kind of weird for a Muggle to have a blog for wizards, anyway.  So it would be cool if you have your work here too.

Here are some ideas for things to contribute: 

1.  Stories you've written, but please indicate if they're non-fiction or fiction.    If they're non-fiction, I want everything to be TRUE.   Please no making up stuff... like you're the secret child of Professor Snape or that you're Harry Potter's twin sister.  

2. Artwork related to your life as a wizard, or maybe artwork based on some of your favourite (or least favorite) wizards.   Of course you can also contribute art about vampires, Muggles,  dragons, garden gnomes, etc.    Please send it as a JPG file.  

3. Videos of yourself.    Maybe you like to sing?  Dance?   Please don't be naked.   My mum would freak, and so would I.    You can do montage videos, but please don't send anything that makes me suspect you're a time traveler and/or seeing things you shouldn't be seeing.   I don't want to think you're some kind of time-traveling spy.   The only way I know how to post a video is through YouTube, so you'd have to use that.   Sorry.  

It's totally cool if you send videos of yourself just talking.    I'd like that.   You can talk in your regular accent, or imitate an accent.    For example, you might want to try imitating an American accent.    I sometimes do that.

4. Poetry you've written about your life in the wizarding world.


5. Articles and editorials about what's going on in the Wizarding world.  

If you have anything you'd like to share, please send me an email (missmugglebug-au@yahoo.com)  Don't try to send it by owl.   I'm very far away, and it would make me feel guilty to see the owl so tired. 


Please make sure all work belongs to you.   Or at least make sure you give credit to the creator, AND get their permission to send it to me.

Thanks

Alex

Great idea Alex. I might just send in an article about what I think of this Ministry rubbish.

Thank you! That would be so nice : )

I'm the secret second cousin once removed of Professor Snape, as it happens. I really am.

I might write something, when I have the time. As it is, I'm rather swamped, trying to find someone to work in the apothecary and... dealing with things.

Icarus Colby,

Okay. I'll believe you about the Snape relation.

I hope you do write something eventually, but I totally understand that you're busy. These are stressful times. By the way, did you see SC Mather's inquiry about polyjuice potion? That would be great if you could help her out there. I know she's having a tough time. Well...yeah...I know. Who isn't?

Periwinkle Aphrodite Tricorvus here. Inventor of Nimbles flying shoes & Wizard Gummies. Co-founder (along with Alberic Quench) of ASPCMC (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Magical Creatures), and co-worker (along with Damocles Belby) to cure Werewolfism & Vampirism. So good to use Muggle technology, as taught to me by the esteemed Professor Steinbach Wolfstar of Mt Rushmoore school in America. Hey, y'all, Hi! :D

Periwinkle Aphrodite Tricorvus,

Hi! I am so excited to see an American wizard here! I remember talking to you on Rebellion and Magic is Might site.

Flying shoes? That sounds so much fun. Do Americans use those often for transportation?

That's interesting about your vampire and werewolfism cure. I have a vampire cousin. He might be interested. The last time I talked to him though, it seemed like he was becoming somewhat okay with the vampire lifestyle.

I think your wizard gummies are what we call jelly sweets here. Maybe? I love them!

Please be nice to each other, even if you disagree with what the other person is saying.

If you suddenly feel possessed by a futuristic Muggle, PLEASE go to the OOC section to the right.
