“Tis the season to be jolly" so, now, I'm going to get you to write an XMas themed story!

Sorry for the long, long wait but I have been pretty busy preparing for Christmas; buying presents, writing cards, getting the XMas decorations up...

Well, anyway, enough of me rambling on here, let's get down to business- and write!

So, what will you have to do this week? Well, after a lot of thinking, I have finally decided!

Task: Your task is to work successfully in a group to produce a Christmas Frozen, Disney and Harry Potter themed play, show or musical. You will have until Boxing  to rainstorm, write, act, direct and produce your very own XMas play. It can be about anything as long as it is Harry Potter, Christmas and Disney themed. Don't worry if this all seems like a LOT of work, your teammates will be there to help you!

Everyone who wishes to take part in the show, please comment ~here~ or message me via PM.

These are the following roles; you can put your name down for up to four roles. We need a maximum of three people for each role.

Director- This person directs the show. Me, Hermione Jean Weasley and Head Girl, Anna. ~please comment here if you would like to assist us~

Creative Consultant- Must be very creative. This person is in charge of coming up with the plot. ~please comment here~

Character Creator- This person chooses which characters will appear in the play and chooses their costumes, etc. ~please comment here~

Main screenwriter- This person writes the script ~please comment here~

Producer- This person puts together the show ~please comment here~

Music- This person MUST be music-mad. This person is in charge of coming up with the music for the show. ~please comment here~

Casting- This person is in charge of choosing the cast. This person should be someone who does not wish to have a main acting part in the show. ~please comment here~

Actresses/Actors- They are the actors and actresses in the show. They take part in roleplays which are then typed up by the screen writer. ~please comment here~

Advertiser- This person advertises the show on their profile. ~please comment here~

We will be working as one big group and each person who takes part will receive:

Forty house points

Shout outs

AND, don't forget...

Loads of story votes!

The person who has worked the best will not only receive sixty house points and many story votes but will also become Quidditch Captain of the competition.

Question: So, how will we get about producing the play/show/musical?

Day 1: (Today, 21st of December) Everyone will be assigned their roles in the play.

Day 2: (22nd of December) The whole group will work together to come up with an awesome plot. We will also hold the auditions for the acting parts. If you are the only person who auditions for the part, you will get it straight away. However, if you audition for a more popular role (eg Elsa of Arendelle, Hermione Granger), you will have to send in a mini monologue to the Casting person via PM.

Days 3 & 4: (23rd and 24th of December): We will begin the roleplays. (Check out Nargles52's awesome roleplay if you want a good idea of what a roleplay is.) The roleplays will probably be held on here. The Directors will organise when the roleplays will be held, eg “Scene Three at 12pm, British time on the 23rd of December." Don't worry if you won't be able to make it, we will make SURE that everyone who is in a certain scene can make it at that time.

Day 5:  (25th of December) CHRISTMAS which means it's a Holiday!! :)

Day 6: (26th of December) This day will be spent finishing off the roleplays. The screenwriters will begin to type up the show.

Days 7 and 8: (27th and 28th of December): The show will be put together, with the producer and the Directors telling everyone what they need to do. The screenwriters will finish typing up the show, the music person will send in the music he/she wants for the different scenes, and everyone will be doing SOMETHING, whether it is making a front cover or deciding which pictures can be used.

Day 9: (29th of December) The show will be published. (But not officially.) This day will be spent with the Directors and producers checking out the show, editing it, and giving suggestions as to what else can be in it.

Day 10: The show will be OFFICIALLY published. The advertiser must make sure to advertise the show well so we can get loads of reads!

Well, anyway, I think I've told you everything you need to know. If you have any other queries, please feel free to send me a PM.

Good tidings we bring, to you and your King, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry XMas Everyone!
