As the fireworks ringing in the new year begin to subside, you decide to make a start on your homework. The Divination one catches your eye; a series of predictions to be made, which will be marked in hindsight. Deciding this one will be an easy assignment to get out of the way you choose to make a start.
Activity: 2012 Predictions
Points: Participation Only - 10pts
Deadline: 18th January @ 11:59PM UTC.
Details: The New Year is a time to make new predictions! Tell us what you expect to happen in the forthcoming twelve months. Activity inspired by
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
xfortytwo, who will win Hufflepuff 5 extra points if she participates.Here's a nice easy challenge to start the year off!
I'm going to ask you to make five unique predictions about the coming year: one for each of five areas:
- Your real-life experiences (something that will happen to you, doesn't have to be super-personal or anything.)
- World/Current affairs (something you believe will be in the news a lot, or will affect lots of people).
- Harry Potter fandom (this can be HP itself, HiH stuff, and so forth. No house bashing, or I bash you D:<)
- Showbiz gossip (outrageous scandals! Celeb slander! Pre-emptively clutching mah pearls!)
- Predictions in other entertainment (ie, sports, TV, music, fandom and so on.)
So what's the catch? Well, we could all rattle off some things no probs, so I'm going to latch on a condition: You may NOT make the same prediction as another participant. So for instance, if I said something in #2 (world events) about the Mayan apocalypse coming to fruition at the end of this year, nobody else may use that world ending scenario as their #2 prediction.
There's two reasons for this: first, it gets some variety going, but more importantly, it gets you all reading one another's predictions, too! I encourage you guys to chat and chatter about one another's thoughts on the year to come- however there won't be any extra points for doing so. Just good karma, innit. ;)
Also, because I just used the Mayan prophecy as an example, you can't use it in your answers now, either.
Here, have a textbox-
And yes, it's a nice simple 10 point activity to ease you in to the new term. There will be a roster sweep at some stage to clear away some of the clutter, but I haven't yet decided when that spring cleaning will happen. For what it's worth, if you've done recent activities you won't be cut when that time does come. Hint hint hint.
Also! Because this activity was inspired by a brainchild of
xfortytwo's, I'll award 5 bonus points to Hufflepuff if she participates.
