FAQs and Other Such Funness
Here you will find some questions I can answer for you. Huzzah, huzzah.
What is a challenge?
A challenge is exactly what it says it is. Someone creates some kind of a plotline or something to go by, and you write a fanfic that includes whatever they've written. It's a way to relieve writer's block and just have fun with fanfiction.
How can I send mine to you, Honoria?
How kind of you to ask! There is a link on the main page called 'form'--click on it, fill out the information and include your challenge, and it will be sent to me automatically! Isn't that fun and easy? Don't you just love Honoria for doing that for everyone out there? ^^
How often is this page updated?
Hmm...well, since I'm in school and everything (not that I ever do anything in terms of homework, except when direly necessary), I update it every so often, mostly when I get a challenge from somebody.
Can I use one of your challenges for my Tamora Pierce story/any fanfic other than Harry Potter?
ONLY if you credit the author and stuff a link into your author's notes. Otherwise, no.
Hey! Nobody answered my challenge!
I cannot guarantee anyone responding to a challenge you've sent--you could have a good idea for a fic that nobody appretiates, or you could have a jewel of an idea that somebody stole and didn't give you credit for or didn't send in to you. Believe me, I get my challenges ripped off all the time. I can't stress enough to people that you are supposed to EMAIL THE CHALLENGER both your intention to do the challenge and the actual fanfic you wrote.
Will you post my fanfic?
Although Geocities provides me with more than enough space to post other people's work and such, I don't have the time or the energy to go through and correct and format other's works. I tried this before, and it was exhausting and time-consuming. The only fanfic I will upload onto this server is my own--and I am far too lazy to do that right now.
Can I draw a fanart based on one of your challenges?
Absolutely! In fact, I would really love it if somebody did! If you do, please send it to me and I will post it on this server! (I know, no fanfic, but fanart! What's up, Honoria? I dunno...don't kill me, I have a thing for good Harry Potter fanart)
You never posted my challenge.
Oh no! If you've sent me a challenge and it hasn't been posted, that's probably because either you didn't include your name, your email address, the type of challenge you sent, or the email just didn't reach me. It's REALLY IMPORTANT that I get those first three things.
Who is Honoria Glossop?
Hee hee! I'm glad you ask. Honoria is a 16 year old American living in the Southern Midwest. You can visit her real site about the real Honoria (and learn her real name!) at Life in the City. Although she is obsessed with Harry Potter, she also likes Mandark of Dexter's Lab and is the Co-Founder of the Mandarkers Society!
What kind of a crazy name is that?
What kind of a crazy question is that? The name comes from one of PG Wodehouse's characters from the Jeeves and Wooster series; Honoria is constantly trying to marry Bertram Wooster, the series' main progatonist, but always fails because of his clever manservant, Jeeves.
Are you on fanfiction.net?
Ja! If you recognise my name, yes, I am on fanficion.net, and I'm currently in the middle of a Percy fic by the name of The Magic Umbrella. I also wrote the quasi-famous piece, "Beautiful Death".
Wow, that's a nasty disclaimer on your main page.
You better believe it. If any of those WB lawyers come in here and then decide to bitch me out in an email, I warned them and I warned them well. They have no reason or rhyme to go around harrassing their fans, they are only going to lose their empire that way. And I certainly wish much evil upon them, too.
Did you really write the fancode?
Yes, I did. That is copyright 2000, 2001, Honoria Glossop. Use it if you'd like, but I would appretiate a link back here somewhere if you use it on your page. Accept no imitations, this is the ORIGINAL HP fancode and anything else is just a rip-off.
Can I post the fancode on my page?
Nope, sorry. Yes, I want everyone to share the love and all that, but I don't want people taking my credit. I'm horribly greedy and self-contained in that manner. ^^
