Basically, anything you want. With one stipulation: The books are read in public, for the entirety of Little Whinging to hear. Accepted by Brokenquill92, but anyone can still do this. All my challenges are open!

Ouch. All of the Dursleys' dark secrets will be let out. I would especially find the reactions of the neighbours' about Harry and Petunia's spying habits to be interesting. Excellent idea, Pinky.

Ohhhh, fun times! Lots of OCs to create though. OH! You could make Mark Evans a wizard too and have his parents realise he's been showing signs of accidental magic! Maybe if Harry's there he'll take him under his wing or something.

Nice, Silver. Nice. By the way, a storm has led to power outages for the past couple days, so I'm behind. Your challenge is being worked on, though.

Haha, didn't realize I would be missed, but I had quite a few messages asking me if I was okay. *blushes*

Hehe, of course you were missed, how could you not be when you're the top poster? I disappeared for a while, too, anyway.

*chuckles* Yeah, I guess I am. Weird how that happened, lol.
I did notice, but didn't want to pry. Are you doing alright?

Oh yeah! I just realised I was spending far too much time on here like I did last time I was on a forum and wanted to try to regulate myself, and then I got a puppy lol. He takes a lot of my attention away from everything.

He's a 9 week old black Cocker X Springer Spaniel with a little white bit on his chin and chest. His name is Merlin, which I think really fits because he looks like he has a beard so we can say 'Merlins Beard!'. Hehe.

Hehehe. My mum actually came up with the name (we were flinging names back and forth between us and vetoing most of them) but I think she regrets it now. She wanted Ollie (I suggested that but it's a name I want for a son if I ever have one) but then when we were on the way back home with him we saw a sign that said "Merle" and she said "Oh alright, that's definitely a sign". Hehe.

Just did read this. Love the idea, I have only one doubt - what about the Statue of Secrecy when they read to all of Little Whinging?

I think it's safe to say that would either be blown out the window or there'd be a blanket oath of silence over wherever they read them.

That could be a solution, yes. It needs to be addressed in the fic, I think to make it more believable, but it would be so much fun to see the reactions

I think an awesome setting for a challenge like this would be Harry's school reunion. That way, the entire population and class would know about the Dursley's abuse.

I've seen one like that but it's a Drarry and MPREG fic.

I've read that one too. One of the few Drarry/Mpreg stories I can stand.

Oh dear, that is certainly going to get interesting. So I assume that as Vernon and Petunia are not on the list, they're not a part of this reading?
