It’s not about winning, it’s about making friends! Hermione Granger expresses a similar sentiment when describing the purpose of the Triwizard Tournament in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and it’s an appropriate sentiment to have our International Exchange fest, as a prelude to the Goldenlake Olympics, the actual Olympics, a small replacement for Ficmas and as a tribute to how all of us are from different places in the world and have made friends from our involvement in and our love for Tamora Pierce’s work. What is It?Nominate your top three requests (your gold, silver and bronze) and then something you wouldn’t request. If you feel like keeping with the exchange theme, you could write letters from international characters or from cross universe, or keep it simple with general prompts. What Do I Have to Do?Write a fic based on one of their three requests, that is over 100 words. Like Wishing Tree, there won’t any allocations, and so you can write for any prompt that inspires you. Standard rules apply. When Will It Happen?Prompting will be open until the 31st of July, and posting can be from 1 – 14 August. Posting Format: Subject: IE: for ..., title, rating Title: Rating: For: Prompt: Summary/Warnings:

Where should I post the completed fic? All responses for both International Exchange and Olympics should be posted in the Events board.

I agree, come join in the fun max I'd be perfectly delighted for max to join in on the fun, but didn't prompting already finish? Or can you still write for the prompts even if you didn't post your own?

To clarify for everyone, anyone is more than welcome to respond to any prompt you wish (in the Events forum), even if you didn't submit your own set of prompts. It just means you will be writing responses without receiving any fic of your own. In this specific case, given that the whole spirit of the event is about international cooperation and friendship (and that prompting has only just closed), if max wants to post a set of prompts, she is more than welcome to and participate fully (with the proviso, of course, that she writes for at least one other person and that, given the late entry, accepts that she may not receive any fic in return, as people may have already chosen and written their responses). My only other proviso is that any additional prompts are posted ASAP, to make the most of the event (which still has 11 days to run anyway). To fully honour the spirit of the event and the upcoming Olympics, we are happy for as many people as possible to participate in the name of Goldenlake and international friendship If anyone has any other questions or concerns they don't want to raise in this forum, feel free to send me a PM.

Great! Thanks for clearing it up Kypriotha I'd love for more people to join in, and maybe even write a Fic for one of my prompts I'm the only one who's written a Fic back, and I'd love to read everyone else's.

Is anybody willing to volunteer their fic/repsonses to the prompts to be posted on Goldenlake's tumblr to promote the board and the Olympics? (Feel free to PM me if you don't want to answer here.)

I'd be glad to! Also, just while I'm here, you don't mind a slightly canon-divergent AU for your Gold prompt, do you? I think I have an idea - or rather, I more or less grabbed someone's plotbunny/suggestion, which is the way these things work with me - and am writing a fic based on it. If you want canon, though, I can write canon, no worries!

Thank-you mistrali And I have no problems with canon-divergent AUs!

Man, I was hoping to have stuff posted this evening but I don't have anything even close to finished. My parents are staying so I haven't been able to get much antisocial screen time, lol. Will have to concentrate on writing in the evenings after work this coming week, after the parental unit has gone.
