It's Wednesday!



Some of us are feeling tired and run-down. Some of us can't wait for the weekend to finally come. And some of us have already thrown our plot bunnies into the ether.

But never fear, Quick Quill Quotes is here!

Take up your Biros and Ballpoints! Brandish your sharpener and retrieve that dreaded red marker from its dusty corner! Flex those fingers!


The current week's theme is: Common Rooms

This can be anything related to Common Rooms Is there festive cheer in one of the houses for the new school year? Has one of the house portraits had a tantrum? Is there a tasty piece of gossip circulating through the houses of a couple caught snogging on the sofas?

We’ll love to read anything you give us!

So give us a snippet of a current piece you're working on, don't be shy! Whether there's only one word related to the theme or it's a devoted sonnet, we want to hear about it.

Don’t have anything related to this weeks theme? No problem. A new drabble within the word limit is an excellent contribution as well! Only got 50 words? So what? Every word counts!

Entering and Rules

The snippet or drabble must be 400 words or under. It should be a new drabble OR from a current work. It should also, however loosely, be related to this weeks theme.

To participate, simply leave your contribution as a comment below.

Posting will close Wednesday 18th September at 00.00 GMT

Don't be afraid to cheer on your fellow writers!

Good Luck!

Note: For those of you rushing to complete your school assignments, this post is currently part of the ‘Back To Hogwarts’ fest.

Dinner had been humiliating. He knew he wouldn't have to worry about a Howler- his father was much more the poison in the tea type. Taking a moment to eye his tea warily, he didn't notice everyone around him standing and moving toward the doors until another small boy (blond, carefully combed hair: good, freckled: bad) gently patted his arm. "C'mon, or we'll miss the password to the common room."

He followed his new companion, pleased he seemed content to keep the silence, and was surprised when they followed the flow of students down. He'd thought only Slytherin had rooms in the basement. He was resigning himself to a life of yellow when the group paused at the portrait of a woman, resplendent in robes of gold-embroidered blue. She spoke quietly, too soft to hear from the back of the group, when the prefect replied in a strong voice: "Fidelity."

The portrait swung open, and Draco got his first view of his new home.
