Good day, Snarry fans! Due to the possibility of spoilers, we will post under the cut a poll about the 2007 Snarry Art Games. It is because of the new canon that we do so.

( 2007 Art Games poll, and possible changes as a result of The Deathly Hallows )

Comments? Suggestions? We are open to all. *Possible spoilers ahead in comments*

Walking the Plank now has a challenge community. The first is a DH Canon Challenge; check it out, and join if you are interested! There are spoilers within the banner art, so I am putting it beneath a cut.

Due to popular demand, Walking the Plank has opened a shop on Cafepress.com. The money earned will help allay the cost of running the archive, and you'll be able to get your own WTP gear in time for Prophecy. YAY!

We need to thank the most lovely lizardspots for permission to use the splash page art, and of course nimori for the graphics.

Walking the Plank is also running a contest for a new permanent skin. You can vote on the entries, or read all the news at WTP in our forum newsletter, by our wonderful editor-in-chief, djin7!

Authors: don't forget to archive now, as after the 21st, we'll be busily reading!


This ends the shameless pimping. Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you! Suggestions, ideas? Concrit? Please feel free to comment. We are always happy to hear from our participants as well as our observers/fans. Anything we can do to make this fest better for all involved is a welcome suggestion.

Hi, all! Just wanted to take a second to thank those of you who've managed to find the time to post on Walking the Plank so far. Please take a moment when you can to ensure that I added your story to your team series. Thanks!

Since I know we're all competitive souls here, I thought I'd point out that Team Postwar=2 stories, and Team Wartime=7 stories. *winks*

Let me know if I left a story off, or if you're having trouble with the process! I'm happy to assist any way I can.

Hello, everyone!

This was a spectacular selection of fics, and a banner year for the number of entries! Thanks to everyone who participated. This is a great fandom.

As you all know, djin7 & reddwarfer  are both mods at Walking the Plank.  aliciamasters (that's me!) is lucky enough to be the headmistress.  Therefore, we would be honored and overjoyed if you decided to host your fic at Walking the Plank, now that the fest is over. 

I have created two open series under djin7's name, one for Team Wartime and one for Team Postwar.



If you've never hosted at Walking the Plank, it is a moderated community of Snarry fanfiction and fanart. 

Here's where you sign up for an account.  You'll love it:  I promise! 

These are the submission guidelines.  In addition, we have walkthroughs created to help you figure out how to post. 

Once it's up, reply to this comment, and I will take it through the submissions process and add it to the series, so that everyone who followed the Snarry Games can find your teammates' stories together. All your entry needs to say is I'm ready!  (It can say more if you want, though. ) If you are struggling, or need help getting your entry up on the site, let me know.  We'll work something out.  My e-mail is aliciamastersATgmailDOTcom.



Here are a few FAQs about an Open Series.

Are you fascinated by Walking the Plank? We are always looking for volunteers, both as mods and technical support. Here are the volunteering guidelines. I was very lucky to be a mod on this contest, and I'm amazed at the talent in our fandom!  Meanwhile, I hope you will consider WTP a home for your art.If you agreed to archiving, but you don't have time to upload, I will contact you to arrange a mod upload. I'd love to have a complete set of Champions. (Hint, hint, Earlier Champions! We still have a few stories & artwork missing!)   REMEMBER:  if something is stopping you, please feel free to contact me.  Maybe we can work it out.

Thank you for letting me be a part of this experience!  I hope I see you at Walking the Plank soon!

CUT! That's a WRAP!


Hey, everybody!

We have some final things to wrap up, and then we go on a short hiatus before we begin again in the very late summer for the Snarry Art Games.

♥ I really hope everyone enjoyed the 2007 Winter Games, and I'd like to thank, once again, everyone who participated, from my Champions and mods, to the fans and judges. Thank you all so much!

♥ The stories will remain here unless otherwise requested by the authors, we can link directly to your sites and/or journals in lieu, just let us know the link you wish us to use. Authors are free to archive anywhere now that the Games are over.

♥ Before we take down the banners, I'd like to again point everyone to our fabulous Medal Award Ceremony, so you can look at the lovely art by glockgal, as well as Milica.

♥ Some links for bookmarking, as well:
Stories from 2007 can be found by :
** Various TAGs (as found on the sidebar in the Comm main page), including by Team Wartime, Team Postwar, and all 2007 entries
** You can also view the Master List here
** And the Games Memories (2007 entries TBA)

♥ tayefeth did a Master List by GENRE as well as PROMPT. Thank you!

♥ Don't forget the Closing Games Drabbles and the Opening Games Crack art, as well as last year's beautiful art and fantastic stories! If you wish to get to know your favourite authors or teammates a little better, don't forget to check out the Champion Interviews

♥ Team Wartime gave us a wonderful Soundtrack.

♥ Very soon, Mod Extraordinaire and Headmistress of Walking The Plank, aliciamasters will soon be advising our Champions on how to upload their stories to our Flagship website, should they desire to, and will also get her instructions on how to add your story to the Snarry Games Series!

♥ Check out our affiliates: triatha_ron and mcshep_match. We have more on the way, including one that is entirely in Hungarian!

♥ Reminder to Champions: Anyone wanting their individual poll vote tallies can request them privately through the Snarry Games Gmail account. ♥

♥ Lastly, keep an eye out on the comm for our 3rd Fandom Fest How-To Poll, in which we ask about how we can improve and how our changes from last year affected participants and fans alike.


Cheers!

SPECIAL GIFT FOR YOU from TEAM WARTIME!

Today we have a special treat for you.

To close out our 2007 Winter snarry_games, Gold Medalists Team Wartime have gathered together a list of songs that inspired them during the writing process, and they wish to share them with you!

Each contributed song had an influence on the extraordinary works that Team Wartime produced for us.

Without further ado, the snarry_games is proud to present:

( The Team Wartime Soundtrack )


Thank you, Team Wartime! Enjoy the music, folks.

Stay tuned for a wrap-up post from the mods, a post from the Headmistress of Walking the Plank, and our usual Fandom Fest HOW-TO Poll V. 3. Because we are always looking to improve, and we also want to know if the changes we made from last year made this Games better and easier for all involved.

Hi, friends of Snarry! Today we bring you a special Closing Games treat. One of our mods stepped up to write a last minute pinch hit for the Games, in the event that it became necessary.

In the end, we were able to finish the Games without the worry, but we are pleased and honoured that our most excellent reddwarfer finished her story and we now share it with you to ease the wait for the End of Games Ceremony, which is nearly upon us.

Please welcome our dear Leila, who came through with an awesome story to share!
