Queue: Beginning Monday 21 December 2009 through Monday 4 January 2010, our submission queue will be closed for the holidays.

The staff of The Quidditch Pitch will return energized after the holiday to fulfill all of your fanfiction needs. If you are currently working on stories you would like posted to the site, please contact your Quidditch Assistant and make arrangements to have the story updated prior to 21 December.
Happy Holidays!

On May 3, 2008, the Captains:
almond_joyz,
madam_minnie,
tqpannie, and
simons_flower gathered for what turned out to be
simons_flower’s last podcast—The Fanboy Chat Part Deux.
The episode (number 12 in case you were wondering) never aired. Thanks to our fabulous sound editor
wolfiekins, the fanboy chat with
leviathan0999,
thanfiction, and
daddybear716 has found a voice.
Simons Flower was our moderator for this podcast.
We dedicate this recording in loving memory of Captain
simons_flower and hope you enjoy her laugh one more time.
Disclaimer: No fanboys were harmed in the recording of this podcast. It may lower your intelligence (as it did for us). Neither the Captains nor the participants of this podcast will be held responsible if you spit coffee on your monitor while listening.

Hi,
We wanted to do something to let
simons_flower's daughter know just what an amazing person her mom was. We want her sister and parents to know how many lives their Trisha touched. I wanted Mr. Simonsflower to know how much we loved her, how much we will miss her, and how many times she made us laugh.
So what do you do here? Post your memories of Trisha. Post pictures-post quotes from her stories.
Your memories can become Jocelyn's, Stephanie (her sister), Jim's (hubby) and her parents memories.
We're going to put the community into book form and send it to Jim to give to Jocelyn.
We want her to know how much we all loved her mom.
The community is
flowers4trisha and you can find it here

Please keep her daughter in your thoughts and prayers. Please keep her sister and family in your thoughts and prayers.
Trisha was 37 years old. She was an amazing writer, she was fearless, she was my best friend. She made me a better writer, a better person, and she was always there for me.
I don't have any information on funeral arrangements but I will be updating with public post as regularly as I can.
My heart is broken right now and I'll never be the same.
If you want direct emails please email me at tqpannie@gmail.com
To all of you who loved Trisha--Remember her laugh. She had the most amazing laugh.

If you have submitted a multi-chaptered story in the past few months and have not been contacted by a Quidditch Assistant (Aka) Beta Reader. Please take a moment and resubmit your story or contact thecaptains@thequidditchpitch.org.
Due to a technical glitch in our beta queue several multi-chapter stories have vanished. We strongly feel this is either the work of Voldemort or Bellatrix but can't be sure.
Thanks!

Hi All-As we said before we are doing something slightly different this year for featured stories. We are doing them quarterly instead of each month. In addition normally there will be a poll for everyone to vote but this month we decided to allow the entire Quidditch Pitch Staff to pick their featured story.

In the past year, those four Captains have attended school, lost three jobs, gained two jobs, and moved four times. There has been turnover in the QA staff, and a smaller turnover in the QC staff. Our Gallery broke. Our forums were hacked. Our podcasts have disappeared. And that's just for starters. 2008 was not a good year.
Despite this, and with the extraordinary assistance of our staff, we've made it work with as little inconvenience to you, the members, as possible. It has meant long nights for some of the Captains (including lots of drinking), but we've done it.
However, the Captains have looked ahead to 2009 and foresee many changes again, the least of which are major moves for three of the Captains, and one who will be finishing school. Because of these things, and after many long discussions, we have decided we're going to scale back the scope of our operations for The Quidditch Pitch in 2009.
We are not closing. Let us say that again: we are not closing.
We will not, however, be scheduling podcasts for this year, or regular polls, as in years past. Featured Stories and Challenges will become quarterly through the remainder of 2009. We will continue to respond to emails from staff and members. We will continue to keep the site running. We will continue with the digest, though it may be as infrequent as once a month or as frequent as weekly.
However, we want your input! Are there things you’d like to see us drop completely? Do we need to be more visible in fandom so that you know we’re still out there, still Harry Potter fans, and still active members of this wonderful community?
We are hopeful that, in 2010, we will be able to ramp operations up once again, to bring back some of the features we've had to put on hold. We would love to be back full force to attend the convention in Orlando that will coincide with the new Harry Potter Theme Park opening.
Sincerely,
The Captains of The Quidditch Pitch
- Captain Annie, the Captain who thinks Ron looks hot in Quidditch Gear.
- Captain Deena, the Stable Captain in charge of the Betas and Stable Boys
- Captain Minnie, the Crazy College-student-again Captain
- Captain Trisha, the Captain most trying to emulate Hermione
- Captain Kerry, Auxiliary Captain

Two of the Captains are participating and we would love to see everyone who writes Hermione participate. You don't have to have a Live Journal to participate. Check it out and, if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask the mods! They are great and really supportive.
There are loads of cheerleader openings, too, so if you aren't a writer, why don't you come cheerlead?
