Question Corner #6 - Ask the Barmaids

[Equinox Chick]

Oh, good question.

I'll let you prank George as long as it's not James doing the prank or being at all involved - unless you decide to have him as another victim.

Hey I have a quick question about the Easter challenge. Can I still enter a drabble even though I didn't do the first six?

[Equinox Chick]

eyeofthetiger -

Yes, you can enter a drabble despite not doing any of the other prompts.

For the May monthly, you said the forbidden characters could be mentioned... but can they actually appear? As long as the focus is on the other character whose POV we are writing from? Was that the most awkward sentence structure of all time?

They can be in the drabble, Lori, but please don't make them the focus of your person's thoughts. What I mean is that if you're writing about Draco (and I know how much you love him), don;t have him obsessing about Hermione ...

Okay, I'm just checking to make sure I don't do something wrong here. You don't want anyone born a Weasley, but can we write about Molly then? I'm thinking it's a yes, but I'd rather check before I write something that I can't even submit.

That's correct. You can write Molly-the-mother-of-all-those-Weasleys (nee Prewett), but not Molly daughter-of-Percy.

For the June Monthly, does the drabble have to feature a party scene, or was that paragraph just preamble?

It wasn't just the preamble. There has to be some sort of celebration/commemoration of the event. Whether it's a party, a meal for two, or a family gathering - that's up to you.

Okay, you've got me all confused now. A racket can either be the sports equipment or a loud noise, but a racquet can only be the the sports equipment, right?
