Helpful hints and links:

Swivenhodge: is a broom game that began in Hertfordshire, England. Players would sit backwards on their broomsticks and bat an inflated pig's bladder across a hedge using the brush end of the broom. The player to miss the bladder gave their opponent a point, and the first player to reach fifty points was the winner. Swivenhodge is still played in England, but never achieved widespread popularity. (Swivenhodge on Harry Potter Wikia)

Gobstones: is a game mostly popular amongst wizarding children^, played with special stones, similar to the Muggle game of marbles except that when a player loses a point, the gobstone then spits a putrid liquid at the player. (Gobstones on Harry Potter Wikia)

Fouls:  Here is a list of Quidditch fouls on Harry Potter Wikia, I love the names they've got.  Feel free to imagine addition ones for Quidditch or any other game.

Appleby Arrows: This is the link to an Appleby Arrows Wikia page, use it if you like.  But you are allowed to fabricate team facts and history if you wish.

How closely do our fics have to resemble the prompts? For example, if I wrote a story that mentioned the Appleby Arrows but definitely wasn't about the Appleby Arrows, would that be okay?

It's only 100 words each so just mentioning them is fine :)
