Post  Potteraholic Tue Nov 01, 2011 7:35 am

Welcome to Potty Five Words, Volume XVI! This is a game invented by the Potties, first played in October 2005 on the Harry Potter Lexicon FanFiction Forum on World Crossing. It resided there for 5 years and 12 volumes/threads, then moved over to the Harry Potter Lexicon Forum in July 2010; some Forum members wondered if it could be played on the Main Forum, along with all the other wonderful Potty Games so many of us enjoyed. So, with Kip's approval... the move was made!

And then the whole Harry Potter Lexicon Forum moved, to our new home here on forumotion.com. This is now the second Five Words thread here, and we have settled in quite nicely. Potty Game: Five Words (Vol. XVI) 2752390508

Now... back to the game!

The rules of this game are simple: place five words in your post that continue the story told through other members' five words. Strung together, the five words will make a much, much longer story. (You might add another much to that list if some people decide to go on a posting spree, which has been done in the past. Potty Game: Five Words (Vol. XVI) 1003735042)

If you're new to Five Words, or even if you've been playing since since the beginning, take a look at some suggestions Finn (the creator of the Five Words thread on the Harry Potter Lexicon Forum), made at the conclusion of Volume V.

We ask that you please post your five words in
bold format. This will help distinguish your addition to the story from other side comments you might make in your post, and help the story posters when they compile the story at the end. The way to do this is by:

— typing a in front of the text you want in bold then after it to unbold anything else you might post.

Enjoy! Smile

Potty Game: Five Words (Vol. XVI) Daily_prophet


Welcome to Five Words, Volume XVI! Potty Game: Five Words (Vol. XVI) 2752390508

I just realized that the 6th Anniversary of Five words happened in the 2nd week of October and I just plum forgot! Potty Game: Five Words (Vol. XVI) 1437562208 So instead of trying to rush out to get a 6th Anniversary post together, let's wait to have our Anniversary story next month, in December. That way, we don’t have to rush to write this ‘story’ by November 10th to try and start writing the 6th Anniversary story then. So December 10th is the date of our 6th Anniversary story. Mark your calendars! Potty Game: Five Words (Vol. XVI) 2752390508

I thought it might be nice to write another collection of short pieces of writing, like the horoscopes, ads, and letters to the Editor that we’ve written for The Daily Prophet. But instead of horoscopes, retail ads and letters, I thought we could try writing the ads in the "Classified" section, written by everyday wizards and witches. I must confess, I got the idea to write classified ads from my time brewing potions on Pottermore these past few weeks, where I have been posting ads in the Ravenclaw common room to trade unneeded potions ingredients for the ones that I do need. Potty Game: Five Words (Vol. XVI) 2222139670




This is what will precede the story, but not be included in the word count:

1st November 2011
CLASSIFIED ADS



Okay, without any further ado, here are the first five words of Story #142.




FOR SALE – Worn just once!

Purple dress robes with paisley

Yay! cheers A new Five Words story!

This topic reminds me of what is said to be the world's shortest short story, attributed to Ernest Hemingway:

For sale, baby shoes, never worn.

It's actually a very sad little story, but just shows how much meaning can be imbued in just a few words.

On a happier note, as today is 1st November, NaNoWriMo started today and I have 23 students from rade 4 to grade 12 who are participating. Although school is still closed this week because of the floods, I've been in touch with all of them electronically and they are all very excited and pumped up to be writing their novels. It's great to see their word counts creeping up already.

I start a new thread, not a new post, and I guess it's here by magic, again. My days of worrying about starting new threads are officially over. Things will get done, whenever. Speaking of which, I have a trivia quiz to mark. Might as well take care of that now.

I just thought about the contact information. Presumably they wouldn't list fellytone numbers so would just communicate with owl mail. How else would they work these classified ads?

LOL, I've no idea what I'm doing. Hope this is ok!

Should it be "Ichabod Inglewright, care of The Daily Prophet" or something?

I don't think we need to add 'care of the Daily Prophet', otherwise we'd be repeatedly wasting five words on that phrase at the end of every ad. Let's just assume the readers know how the classified ads work! Potty Game: Five Words (Vol. XVI) 2752390508

Edited to change words to fit with Mona's original idea of the translator being a person, not a thing.

Beedle the Bard into Mermish

Oh, OK, now I understand. I was thinking of a thing, rather than a person, but a person probably would make more sense. I was wondering what kind of device would be able to translate runes. I could change my words to 'who would be able to' but then you'd need to change 'rendering' to 'render' for it still to make sense grammatically. I'll go ahead and make the change.
