Wolfstar Games

[wolfstargames]

Announcement

This is a hard annoucement to make. But your Mod Squad has decided that with all the stress of the past year, and the number of events that we host, that we need a year off

There were a great many factors that went into this decision. But ultimately we simply need a break.

Please don't worry too much, we will be back. There will not, however, be any events that are run exclusively by the Mod Squad running in 2022. That means not only Wolfstar Games, but Wolfstar Big Bang and Fixit Fest as well.

We hate to have to do this, but we simply need some time to regroup. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

See everyone again in 2023!

This is a weird-ass meet-cute fic about a misanthrope werewolf and a murderer on the run. The magical world is in turmoil, and it doesn’t help that they meet in the one place as haunted as they are. (I promise it's just as bad as it sounds but also surprisingly fun). Rated M for language! Thanks to my amazing beta - you know who you are!

The End of Posting

Tomorrow will be the last day of posting for this year's Wolfstar Games. Because of slightly uneven team numbers there will only be two works today and tomorrow.

Once posting is over we'll give it a couple of days before we post the anonymous master list. Voting will stay open for a while longer, to give everyone a chance to get caught up.

Voting will close sometime in the middle of next week and then at the beginning of the following week reveals and the winner announcement.

Please enjoy the last few works from this year's wonderful creators!

The decision has been taken to abort the emergency evacuation flight 872 from the Hogwarts platform. Current data informs us that Dolores path has redirected, and will reach the area earlier than expected, however, it will be less intense than original predictions suggest. Risk analysis now advises for all occupants of Hogwarts to stay in place, remaining in their accommodation until adverse weather patterns subside.

Sirius and Remus are roommates on the oil rig, but they work opposite shifts, so usually they don't get to spend a lot of time together. Until now.
