The Question Corner.

Thanks, Jan!

Also, does it have to be canon? Like, can it be post HBP, but Dumbledore's alive? Thanks in advance!

[Magical Maeve]

Yes, it can be whenever you like. The important aspect is geting into people's heads and writing without dialogue.

When you start off with "Is there anything you would like to tell me?", do you just dive into the thoughts, or could you start go ahead and say, "_____'s gaze dropped down to the floor. There was so much that he could have told him. So much that he had to tell him, for it concerned Dumbledore, and his best friends."

Then after that, you go into the thoughts. Can we work like that or no? Just wondering. Thanks!

For the Weekly Drabble - Inner Thoughts do we have to spacifically mention the name of the character thinking, or can we justsort of hint to it and mention it under the title.

I'm just afraid that with the drabble I wrote you wont be able to tell who it's about...

[just_the_contrary]

Am I allowed to have a swear word (a real one) at the end of the Inner Thoughts drabble challenge? I know everyone can see these but I think it fits in really well with it and helps to express the emotion.

If not, I totally understand.

[Magical Maeve]

No swear words. The site will edit them out anyway.

You don't have to mention who it is. Leave the reader guessing.

Sayiansirius, you can, but I'd prefer just thoughts. Makes it more of a challenge then. ;-)

Out of curiosity, does it have to be in Dumbledore's office or can it be someplace else, say in Grimmauld Place (while Sirius is trapped there)?

Thanks in advance!

[Magical Maeve]

I see no reason why you shouldn't alter the location. It's the thoughts that matter.

[Lily_writes]

When should we expect the results for the Inner Thoughts drabble challenge?

[Magical Maeve]

Please be patient. I had a little drama in real life yesterday and am only just getting around to catching up with things.

Results for drabbles are normally announced within a few days of the challenge closing.
