Topic: The Classic Quotes Challenge

Alrighty, here I come with a new challenge for you all!

I have a list of quotes from a variety of classics - choose a number from 1 - 50 and I shall hand you a quote, based upon which you write a fic.

Word Limit - 300 - 1000 words.

Please do reply here when you are done with your fic and post the link to it, I shall enjoy reading what you have come up with! Let me know your pairing, too, or if you want it to be a fic based on friendship and no romance. It is entirely up to you!

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries regarding the challenge.

I've got a lot to do... one more challenge won't matter. Perhaps this gives me some ideas for the ones where I am stuck.

No. 14 please!

number 4, please! As for the pairing, I'm not sure. I think Percy/Penelope or Tom Sr/Merope, but I might change it.

Good luck to you, Lilliane! I am looking forward to reading it :)

maybeknot - I like the idea of your pairings. Do let us all know when you are done with the fic! ^-^

Hey XxrandomxX, here's your quote:

If you can't work with it, do let me know; otherwise, all the best for your fic. ^-^

I really do want to play fair, and I most definitely want to write in response to my own challenge.

So...

Could anyone hand me out a number (other than the ones already claimed) please? :D

Hey,

I'm Janna, I wanted a source of inspiration for writing a HP fic...

I choose number 18.

Can one person get 2 qoutes by any chance?

Thnx for your help,

Janna. =)

Hey,

I just noticed that you could get more than one - (sorry I'm very new to all these stuff)

Can i get numbers 18, 17, 24, 21, 49 and 36 please???

And can i combine all of them?

Are there any other specific rule or anything?

Thnx again,

Janna

Hello, Janna! It's nice to hear from you. :)

Alrighty, so about your queries.

You can use as many quotes as you want in your fic. Please be sure to mention the numbers of the quotes you have incorporated in your story!

I am sorry but double claims on quotes cannot be placed, which means that once a person has selected a number, I cannot allocate the same to another author. Keeping this in mind, numbers 18, 21 and 36 have already been claimed. Can you please choose alternative numbers to replace these?

Quotes corresponding to numbers 17 , 24 and 49 as requested by you are below:

17 - "This is a moment of great happiness - this would almost make amends for everything!"

24 - "She is a bright child. And she looked real nice, too."

49 - "I beg your parson - but surely there must be some mistake of person or name."

LIST OF CLAIMS so far:

DormouseSleepingInTheTeapot: 14

Fire In The Whiskey: 3, 12, 18, 21, 36

XxrandomxX: 32

Janna18: 17, 274, 49

Please do post the link to your fico nce you are done! I am very eager to read your works :)

I myself have claimed no. 50 and am done with my fic. Will post the link once I get a response from any one of you first! ^-^ Looking forward to your responses.
