Policy Change for Processing Submissions and Posting Betaed Fics
To the authors and members of The Quidditch Pitch,

Due to changes in our staffing levels, we are implementing a change to the submission and upload process, effective 5 June 2008.

1. You may submit stories at any time.
2. Submissions will be processed Saturday through Wednesday.  All approvals or rejections will happen only during that time period.
3. Stories edited by our beta staff will be uploaded Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

We hope this will not be a long-term change since we are actively hiring for Quidditch Coordinators to work the submission queue.&nbp; If you are interested in applying for the position, please apply here.  You must be 18 to apply for the job of Quidditch Coordinator.

Quidditch Trading Cards
Our galleries, Quidditch Trading Cards, are finally reopened!  After several weeks of work reconstructing them after a hacker destroyed them, the galleries are now back up.  Please note the new location and change any bookmarks you may have.  Additionally, new registrations are closed at this time, and the adult albums are correspondingly closed.  We're attempting to cross our main site registrations with the gallery and our technical guru, Captain Mel, is working out the bugs.
