Now this can be set in the Afterlife or it can be set in the past when Vernon and Marge are teens.
-Have to have Vernon's parents (names are up to you)
-Have to have Marge and Vernon (if you do them as children)
-The Dursleys must know the Evans (Petunia and Vernon are friends, Mr. Evans and Mr. Dursley work together, etc)
-Include Lily pre-fifth year if you do the teen angle.

This would be interesting actually, could play this out in a number of ways. So hope several take up this challenge.

So would I. And I agree with Rogue, this could go so many ways.

That looks awesome. If Lily was included, I could see a young her freaking out and really scaring Vernon with her shouting and threats (:<

Okay, I'm officially pathetic. I want to write this now. GAH!
I don't think anyone has challenged themselves when coming up with one of these.

Thanks Kuma. You know what? I think I'll leave the challenge open but I'll write it anyway. As Rouge said, it can be taken so many different ways.

No I mean cat. There's a stuffed animal that's shaped like Crookshanks on my bookshelf. Whenever I get ideas, he finds his way on my head. Therefore, thinking cat.
The only problem is finding an old notebook to write down my ideas. Most of them have already been filled up with old stories and other nefarious things like notes from old classes.

Haha! I have a notebook or two like that...

Go ahead! Whatever works is great.
Yeah, it really sucked that I'd get ideas at school and try to write them down but someone would always ask what I was writing. Then give me weird looks when I'd say what it was.

I tend to use my iTouch as my place for notes about stories, especially when I get an idea at 1 AM. It's much easier to turn that one than to find a notebook and pen.

I've had that same thing happen to me! I would also bring a book series to school and write it. Either way, people thought I was nuts...  |

In High School, I just would go to the library during Journalism and write on the computers there. One save to the flashdrive and I could upload them after dinner.
My teacher let me go to the library whenever I asked, unless it was booked. Of course, Journalism was so easy to get an A in that all you had to do was show up to not fail.

I got stuck in the back of my Latin Class Junior Year, and being particularly small for my age, I grew bored when I had a hard time seeing the board. One of my stories which is still on ff.net (Simba's Little Sister) grew from that boredom. After all, we had a student store where you could buy a notebook for a quarter.

Oh man, I remember those student stores! Merlin, I miss those! Back in elementary school, there used to be the ones where you could buy toys. |

Yeah, we didn't have that in elementary school but in High School those notebooks were lifesavers when I'd run out of room due to jotting down story ideas. I wasn't exactly allowed on fanfiction during the school year.
Scratch that. My mom let me on during Senior Year after I got a 4.0 my Junior Year after having a Blood Clot in my Brain during the spring break of said year.

Yeah. Apparently, I've got a clotting factor called Prothombic Mutant Gene. Basically, it tells my body when to clot.
Well, the birth control I was on had a bit too much estrogen in it so it was making my blood clot inside my body thanks to this gene--and the fact that the birth control was generic. Case in point: me puking my empty guts into a bag while touring Mary Washington while trying to subdue a severe headache. Then enjoying five days at MCV. Then blood thinners for six months that made me drowsy as hell.

I once wrote a story on my graphing calculator when I was in math class. It was in all caps until I got it transferred to my pc.

Yeah I'm alright now. Just can never take birth control pills for as I live, nor the Morning After Pill. Basically if I want to avoid pregnancy, I've got to either rely on the guy to wear a condom or just abstain from sex.
Lucy: HOLY WIZARD GOD! I bow before you, as I am not worthy to be in the presence of a writing god.

I'm hardly a god. I didn't say it came out very good, did I? (It's not bad, but I've never written anything other than joke/satire stuff, and even then I haven't written in 10 years).
But as to how I did it, TI graphing calculators come with memory for programming, and I used that space. There is also a PC link you can buy separately to transfer programs back and forth (there are websites to download graphing calculator games and more serious programs).

*is huggled* Thanks. My Uncle has both Factor Five and what I've got so he's got to be on blood thinners for the rest of his life. And seeing as it's passed through genetics, there's a good chance my mom's the one who passed it down to me. But she won't get checked. Really, she forgets, and I don't even know 1/4 of my grandparents so it could come from my dad's side.

I've written a good portion of my stories on my ITouch, especially when I get the idea in the night. I also wrote the first couple of paragraphs of a different story in study hall. I think the weirdest place I've written story outlines is on my phone, and the notes app can only hold a few lines as it's a very simple one.

Sorry to hear Ginnyrules.
I recently started jotting down story ideas in my junior an senior year. Greatly innoying when people demand to know what ur writing. Than when u tell them and they expect u to read it to them or try to grab it from u to read it themselves. Though I got them to back off when I twisted one of the nosy girl's arm and told her I tear up her stuff if she didn't stop messing with mine. That certainly made them drop the subject for the rest of the semester 'insert evil grin'. Hated resort to violence but that seemed to be the only way to get through their numbskull heads. lol.
