Challenge 1: #timewarp
Challenge Criteria:
Produce a work of fanfiction that places characters in a time period other than the one in which they canonically appear, OR a work of fanfiction that highlights a time period which hasn’t been explored thoroughly in canon (or, both!).
Challenge Prompts:
It’s 1986, and Ilvermorny School looks like a John Hughes movie starring Queenie Goldstein as a Molly-Ringwold-esque teenager. It’s the year 2150, and The Weasley Twins are capitalizing on the untapped wizarding market on the Martian colonies. It’s been two months since the fall of Voldemort, and the Malfoys are trying to piece their lives back together after the war. It’s 2022, and Albus Potter has stolen a time-turner… oh, wait… that’s already been written (and that’s okay!).
For this Fanfiction Writing Challenge, we invite authors to play with Time, as we prepare to explore Wizarding Through the Ages at MISTI-Con 2019. Writers can explore an aspect of the canonical timeline which hasn’t been covered in detail. Authors can create an alternate universe in which characters are living in a decade outside the one in which they canonically exist. Or, hey, take characters out of their era and place them in an era that doesn’t get much coverage in the books! Break out that time-turner and give it a spin! Founders era, Marauders era, Next-Gen era - any time period is game!
Visit MISTI-Con.org/fan-fiction for details on how to submit your work for inclusion in the MISTI-Con Fanfiction Collection.
