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.

Yay! By happy coincidence, this is an excerpt I am writing for the WBTH challenge. It's going up soon.

“Draco. Draco! Oh for Merlin’s…Draco!”

Draco’s eyes snapped open and he found himself looking into eyes that were most certainly not green. He yelped in alarm, flailing violently and nearly toppling off the couch. Pansy backed away with a squeak on her face, hovering near the mantle with a look of alarm on her face.

“Are you okay?” she demanded. “You were kicking up quite the racket there.”

Draco blinked at her, struggling to function. He nodded slowly. “Fine,” he rasped. “Just…just a dream.” He flushed as he shifted subtly, hoping desperately that Pansy hadn’t noticed the…consequences of his little night time fantasy.

“Oh,” she replied, arching an eyebrow. “Well, you really shouldn’t fall asleep in the Slytherin Common Room, you know. Why aren’t you in your own bed anyway?”

“I came down here to read,” Draco explained. “Just thinking about the match today.” Of course, he declined to mention that he’d been browsing through one of Theo’s ‘magazines’ when he had fallen asleep. That would explain the ludicrous dream. Just a stupid dream… Draco wondered why he felt so disappointed.

Pansy shook her head in exasperation. “Boys and their Quidditch. Well, it’s almost dawn. You might as well get up. Get yourself some breakfast too. It won’t do to lose to Potter first match in the season.”

“No,” Draco muttered. “It wouldn’t.” Privately though, he wasn’t so sure… shaking his head, he got up and left the Common Room, leaving Pansy staring after him with a frown on her face.
