New Prompt

Hey guys! I was recently involved in a situation where I had to help someone partly down from a mountain to a spot where they could be lifeflighted to a hospital. While heading down the mountain I had a lot of thoughts going through my head. After we got him in the helicopter and everyone got to safety, the adrenaline ran out. I realized how scared I was for his safety and for my safety. It made me think about what he was possibly thinking as he struggled down the mountain, so here's my prompt for this week:

Think of a situation you've been in and write about the same situation from the perspective of someone else who was there. Write it in the comments below or copy a link to your story in the comments. Due next Monday, July 28.

I look forward to reading your responses!

Intro: Julia Kelly

Hi guys! So my name is Julia Kelly. I'm 17 and live in Chicago. Above is just a picture of me on my way to my boyfriend's senior prom! I've been dating him for over six months. It'll be seven on the 28th of July! And of course that's my grandmother's birthday so that's a little awkward to me...

As of right now it's the summer going into my senior year here in the muggle world. I'm pretty nervous because I'm going to be balancing school and two jobs. I'm going to be in two Advanced Placement classes (tons more homework than the rest) and the rest are all regular or honors. I am a member of my school's National Honor Society (kind of like perfects at Hogwarts) so there'll be days that I'm stuck at school to do work unfourtanetly.

I'm still pretty new to the HIH life and my name is the same on there. I'm in Ravenclaw even though every single quiz I've taken (aside from Pottermore) says I'm Gryffindor... If you want to add me as a friend go right ahead! I'll accept everyone and won't have a problem with it.

I write a lot in my spare time and do my best to keep everything updated around the same time. I personally don't think I have that many readers. I use two social media sites (quotev.com: http://www.quotev.com/Catnip69 and wattpad: http://w.tt/1qinDDR ) to post my stories. Two of the stories are being co-written with my boyfriend so the style of the writing may change.

I do role-play. Mainly just on my kik account though. I'm too scared to go out in public and RP. If anyone wants to talk to me on there I'm jk16 (just tell me you read this because I ignore the creeps). When I RP on there it's mainly stuff from my fandoms that I'll do, although it is mainly The Hunger Games...

I think that this is getting long enough so I'm going to give a few fandoms that I'm in (books, movies and music). And then some facts about me that I think you should know.

Fandoms: Books! (All in random order)

1. The Hunger Games series

2. Divergent series

3. The Fault in Our Stars (also anything by John Green. I haven't had a chance to read much of his works though.)

4. Harry Potter series

Fandoms: Movies! (Random order and short)

1. The Hunger Games

2. Divergent

3. The Dark Knight

Fandoms: Music! (Random order)

1. One Direction

2. 5 Seconds of Summer

3. Linkin Park

4. Three Day's Grace

Random facts!

1. I'm really self conscious about myself from getting bullied a good majority of my life.

2. I lost a lot of my friends due to a rumor that my former best friend's boyfriend spread about me. She decided to believe him over me even though I told the truth and was the one that brought them together. 

3.I have a history of self-harm and self-hate.

4. If it weren't for my boyfriend and the few friends I have left I would be dead right now.

5. I really can't stand the thought of losing more friends or getting bullied by someone who doesn't know me. Please be nice to me.

Intro: Emma Benson

Hello! I am Emma, a high school junior from Ohio. (Shout out to all Ohioans out there; you guys rock!) So, if I'm not stressing out about college or my career choice, I am on HiH or SBL. On Hogwarts is Here, I kept my real name, Emma Benson. I am a Gryffindor, though really more of a Gryffinclaw. I spend much of my time overacheiving academically, but also love spending time with my Hogwarts friends. (HoMies rule!) I am a MART and Divination PA. I also wrote parts of the two Magical Art textbooks.

On Storybrooke Live, I tweaked my name a bit and am known as Emma-Marie Benson. My character is an intern for Mayor Mills, and posts a fair amount of statuses. I am a character developer and writer for Regina Mills  (A.K.A. the Evil Queen) as well as one of the heads of the Daily Mirror.

Comment below if you are on SBL. What's your character's backstory?  I love reading them - they're so creative! Oh, and what is your OTP? Mine is Swanfire.

I am just going to list my main fandoms:

• Harry Potter
• The Selection Series
• TFIOS & Pretty Much Anything Written by John Green
• Once Upon a Time (& Evil Regal)
• The Office (US)
• Demi  Lovato
• Katy Perry
• We the Kings (Just Discovered Them This Morning, Actually)

Goodbye! I am already thinking of fun writing activities that we can do live!

Introduction: Johanna

Hello everyone! My name is Johanna, but on HiH I'm Jo (Skarbek). I'm fine with being called either one though. I will be another staff member here, and I can't wait for things to get started. I am an enthusiast of the English language and everything to do with it. I love everything that can be done with words, from reading to writing.

Some things about me: I am 15 years old, I turn 16 this fall. I am a pure-blood witch raised in the muggle world, coming from a family with 8 kids. I am the youngest of the 8. My wand is elm, phoenix feather, 10 and three-quarters inches, and quite bendy. My owl is a red eastern screech owl named Nugget. Though if you want to use her, make sure the package isn't particularly heavy because she's a rather small owl. Letters are usually fine though. I play soccer in the muggle world, and I play beater in quidditch for Ravenclaw when I'm needed there. I'm now in my second year at Hogwarts. My parents thought it would be necessary for me to have an understanding of both the muggle world and the wizarding world, and that is why until this past year, I went to muggle school only. However, I will continue attending both muggle school and Hogwarts. I aspire to be a healer when I am older. I excel most in Herbology and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

That's about all there is to me. Oh - I left out the fact that I am a massive nerd. I obsess over tons of TV shows and movies and books. Feel free to friend me on HiH though, I accept all friend requests. I look forward to this club, and I can't wait to get started! :)

Introduction: Skye Lunar

Hey guys, I've been tasking all of the new Staff Members with writing posts introducing themselves, but then one day one of them came up to me and asked where MY introduction was. So, not to be unfair, I've decided that since I'm, technically, a part of the staff, I should write one too. Here goes:



Hi! I'm Skye Lunar, a First Year (Second Year tomorrow) in Ravenclaw. For those of you who don't know me, I'm the creator of Writing Club, or as I like to call it, "The Little Club That Could". We currently have over 500 members (541 to be exact), making us the 4th most popular club at Hogwarts. That's more than I could have ever dreamed!


Now, to describe myself: I'm blonde, short, and have gray eyes. I'm 15 years old, and going into my sophomore year of high school. I'm very academic and love love LOVE to write (it's like the only thing I'm good at). Let's see... I'm Muggleborn, and I have an owl named Jupiter and a cat named Venus. My wand is Sycamore and Dragon Heartstring, 12 3/4 inches, and Unyielding. I'm also a Prefect for Astronomy, and I'm willing to help anyone who needs it in that class (or any class, for that matter). If you need to reach me (whether with questions, suggestions for the Club, or anything else you may need), you can Owl me at http://hogwartsishere.com/skyelunar084/. I usually get back to people relatively quickly (as I'm on all the time). Also, feel free to Add me, as I accept any and all Friend Requests (even the random ones that everyone gets). I look forward to working with everyone and I hope we can all have a great time in Writing Club!
