The Category Patrolling Project

http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m...ger/catpat.png

♦ What is the Category Patrolling Project?

Basically, it is a venture wherein SPEWers scout the archives for fanfiction that needs quality reviews and post them to a thread, so that others who are searching for fics to review can easily find them when they need it. I've found that finding a fic to review, especially close to the deadline, is like half the job done. SPEW Category Patrolling helps us with that.

♦ How will this work?
Every month, there will be a thread posted with the name of the category that we're featuring for the month. There will be no more claims for categories; anyone who wants to use category patrolling as a replacement for a particular month can post in that thread. At the end of the month, I will post all the entries which were posted during the month to the database of stories(this thread). This way, all the stories of a category will be in one post in the database, and anyone who is looking for fics to review can look at the respective post in this thread.

You do not have to review the stories you chose. You do not even have to read them. All you need to do in category patrolling is to find them and post details about them.

♦What kind of stories can I post to the Category Patrolling thread?
Stories which you think are in need of quality reviews. It's not exactly based on the number of reviews(unless we're looking at hundreds of one-liners), because even a story with a few one-line reviews can use a good in-depth review.

All genres, ratings and length are permissible. In case of WIP fiction, however, please post the date it was last updated on. (This is what you see when you choose the story, of course; I don't mean you have to keep editing your post whenever there's a new update.)

♦ What are the details I need to post with, if I choose category patrolling as a replacement?

PHP Code:

Name of the Story(with link): Author: Rating: Word Count: Warnings(if any): Number of chapters(if chaptered. If it is a one-shot, this can be skipped): Last updated on(applicable only to WIPs): Summary:

There might be slight changes depending on the month(for instance, if the category is Other Pairing, the pairing featured might have to be included), but this is the basic template.

♦Is there a minimum number of stories I need to post, to meet requirements?
I think a minimum of five stories for now seems reasonable. There will be no maximum limit. More the merrier, as the saying goes. :)

If you have any other questions/doubts/clarifications regarding Category Patrolling, please send me a message or post in the babble thread. I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can.

Story: Auralei Evermore and the Secret of the Dark Lieutenant
Author: hogwartsbookworm
Rating: 1st-2nd years
Word Count: 6729
Warnings(if any): None
Number of chapters: 2 + prologue
Last updated on: April 19/2010
Summary:

Quote:

The year before Harry discovers he is a wizard, Auralei Gamp discovers something equally shocking: she is adopted.

Join Auralei at her first year of Hogwarts as she makes friends, learns magic, trys to control her uncooperative power, blows up cauldrons, get losts in the corridors, reads as many books as she can get a hold of, and most importantly, tries to find out who her real parents are... and by extension, who she is herself.

The answer is darker than she expected.

This is the first in the Auralei Evermore series. If you like reading about Neville, Tonks, Luna, Oliver Wood, George Weasley, Lupin, Ravenclaw House, Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy, the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, Trevor the Toad or new Original Characters, then hopefully, you will like this series.

Story: Snape's Revelation
Author: Emerald Fox
Rating: 1st-2nd Year
Word Count: 4045
Warnings: Book 7 Disregarded
Summary:

Quote:

This story is a small twist off from Harry and Luna's excursion into Ravenclaw Tower at the end of the seventh book. Their struggles to find the diadem of Ravenclaw are interrupted by a slight turn when they are discovered by Snape rather than Professor McGonagall in their search. What is written in the tone of a beautiful death scene in the book bascially becomes an exploration of possibilities of what may have happened had Snape been granted those last moments with Harry, which he so desperately wanted, but which were so rudely snatched away from him at the last moment. Harry's shock in the book at finally discovering Snape's secrets, along with the knowledge that he must die, are noticeably more poignant with the edge of Snape telling him face to face. How is Snape going to give him his last secret?

Summary:

Quote:

It is 1997. The Dark Lord has returned. Death Eaters have taken control of the Ministry. Information is tightly controlled and propaganda is fed to the masses. Dissidents and undesirables disappear on a regular basis. All is lost, resistance is futile, yada yada blah blah blah. That’s what they’d like you to think.

My name is Corinne Lambert and I’m part of a three-man terrorist cell conducting direct action operations against Voldemort’s puppet regime. Working closely with our liaison from the Order, Charlie Weasley, we use anything and everything at our disposal to combat the Death Eaters. Magic. Firearms. Explosives. Whatever gives us an edge in this war. Because they have the numbers, they have the resources, and they have the home court advantage.

They won't know what hit them.

He has a dream one night. Soft hands lift him out of his bed. He opens his eyes and their faces are like maps of a country he’s never been to but has always wanted to go. They say they’ll take him to a place where all he has to is breathe.

He says okay.

Summary: When Gellert Grindelwald arrives at Godric’s Hollow to stay with his great-aunt, all that holds his interest is seeing the Peverell graves and continuing his growing fascination with the Deathly Hallows. However, he soon finds himself becoming the focal point of gossip and intrigue in the small neighbourhood, as well as the respected friend of local genius, Albus Dumbledore. Sadly, Albus’ brother takes an instant dislike to him, for personal reasons, and makes sure that his time at the Hollow is not a happy one.
However, it is the village tomboy—Zaria ‘Honour’ Max—who truly captivates the young wizard. While he is happy to manipulate the affection that others feel for him, he cannot quite grasp how she feels none at all. Her unconventional manners and disdainful opinion of him attract his interest like a moth to a fiery flame. But if he wishes to pursue Zaria, he must face a torrent of difficulty.
"You stay away from that girl, Gellert. I mean it."
"Why? Worried I'll corrupt her?"
