Competition Name: The Anniversary Challenge, 2008
Competition End Date: Wednesday 3rd September 2008

On September 29, 2003, a diverse group of Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione shippers got together and started posting fanfiction here on PhoenixSong.net. More than 1300 stories and nearly 20 thousand users later, we're getting ready to celebrate our fifth anniversary, and as we do, we'd like to showcase the wonderful writers who make the site what it is.

Thus, PhoenixSong is pleased to announce The Anniversary Challenge, 2008:  a writing contest for new and existing authors. Topics for this challenge are the anything that has to do with the number five and/or any anniversary that is divisible by the number five (five, ten, fifteen, etc.). Entries may cover any genre from comedy or fluff about our favorite characters' lives together to laments for the Dark Lord's victims, so long as one of the two topics is used.

Here are the ground rules:

Story Subject: Anniversaries divisible by five and/or the number five. In addition to the obvious link to events such as wedding anniversaries, this can be a commemoration of the start of a relationship or an observance of the loss of someone dear.  It can deal with five children or five friends. The spectrum is extremely varied, so have fun!

Story Length: 3000 words or less (to check your word count using MS Word, go to "Tools" in your menu bar and select "Word Count").
