The explanation, taken from the tryouts thread, for those of you who need refreshers:

CAPTAIN: The captain's responsibility is to encourage, motivate and mentor their team through the rounds. A week or so before round 1 begins, the 13 captains will be messaged with details. The captain will then gather their team together (if some have gone astray) and prepare.

KEEPER: The Keeper's job is to try and stop points from the other team. Each round, the Keeper's points will be subtracted from the opposing team. So, Keepers, write well, because the more points you score, the more your opposition will have taken away from them.

CHASERS: Each Chaser will be given a separate task from their fellow Chasers. A Chaser's job is to score extra points. For every optional prompt used, a Chaser will score three bonus points. However, each chaser may only use three out of the 15, and you can't have repeat choices. But, be careful, Chasers, because the Beaters will also have access to these prompts, and any Beaters who use the prompts on the opposing team, will block the Chasers from scoring. So, think carefully.

BEATERS: Beaters block. They try and cause harm to the other players. Though, as we're a friendly forum, we're not going to be mean. Simply, the Beaters can block the Chasers from scoring points. Each round, the Beaters will have access to the same 15 optional prompts as the Chasers. The Beaters are allowed to use five prompts between the two. For every prompt a Beater uses that a Chaser on the other team uses, the Chaser will not receive any points. But choose wisely, because remember, you can only use up to five of the 15 prompts between the two Beaters.

SEEKER: In Quidditch, the first Seeker to catch the Snitch ends the game. In fanfiction, the Seeker (between 2) who gets their entry in first will receive a bonus five points. That means in each round only six Seekers will be getting bonus points.

And when submitting your entry, please use this form to make it easy for the scorers to know who we're scoring.

Fics should be between 900 - 3000 words, and should be rated no higher than T.

Round 7 - Muggle Me This

Despite wizarding folk being the only ones privy to magic, Muggles have created their own kind of magic through the advancement of technology. Although wizardkind still regards Muggles with contempt, there are many that are slowly but surely converting to the ways of Arthur Weasley and his love for anything Muggle. In an attempt to take it another step further, Arthur has agreed to cooperate with us to help you witches and wizards better understand Muggle technology by giving you various scenarios to consider. Hopefully, by the end of it, you'll all be proud Muggle Lovers like Mr Weasley! (Don't let him convince you that Fellytone is a better name for Telephones, though!)

CAPTAIN: Write about the conflict within wizarding society, between those who want to study Muggle technology in order to understand it better and those who think it's a bunch of garbage.

KEEPER: Write about two witches or wizards going undercover in a Muggle town and having to learn to live like Muggles.

CHASER 1: Write about a witch or wizard trying to explain to a magical child how (one or more) Muggle technology works.

CHASER 2: Write about a witch or wizard trying to figure out how (one or more) Muggle technology works in an experimental space, i.e. a lab of any kind, and the chaos that ensues.

CHASER 3: Write about a witch or wizard attempting to smuggle (one or more) Muggle technology into Hogwarts.

Chasers, you have access to the optional prompts. You may pick 3 each. The prompts MUST be in your A/N:

OPTIONAL PROMPTS:

1. (word) motor

2. (object) microwave

3. (action) charging an electronic device

4. (dialogue) "How many wizards does it take to make an aeroplane fly?"

5. (phrase) change the lightbulb

6. (setting) movie theatre

7. (word) confusion

8. (dialogue) "You say that again and I'll microwave your brain!"

9. (object) broken torch

10. (image) ht tps ://goo. gl/images/Len1h6

11. (quote) Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. - Edsger Dijkstra

12. (dialogue) "He tried to sell me a box that talked, so I hexed him!"

13. (word) batteries

14. (word) cartoons

15. (dialogue) "What do you mean, these pictures don't move?"

BEATERS, Please remember that you also have access to the Chasers' optional prompts and must use FIVE prompts between you. Like Chasers, the prompts you choose MUST be in your A/N.

BEATER 1: Write about a witch or wizard trying to combine magic and Muggle technology into one device.

BEATER 2: Write about a time where wizardkind has gotten so used to Muggle technology that they find themselves using magic lesser and lesser.

SEEKER: Write about a pureblood witch or wizard marrying a Muggle and learning how to use everyday Muggle technology like toasters, telephones or TVs.

Captain of the Montrose Magpies requesting an extension already just in case I can't make the Friday game (I'm going on holiday).

Blackmail

Appleby Arrows

Seeker

Nope:)

And here again to ask yet another prompt question. Does the technology refereed to in the chaser 2 prompt have to be strictly electronic technology, such as computers, etc. Or can it include offshoots say, biotechnology, nanotechnology, actual cyber technology, which would be more code and software than an actual physical piece of hardware and the such? I don't want to focus in on something and then find out it's wrong for the prompt. Thanks!

Ummm... Extension requested, Beater 2 of the Kenmare Kestrels.

Sorry about the Round 6 story, I couldn't access my account for a few days... I'll PM you it momentarily.

Kage - any technology is fine :D
