“He’s driving me mad, Pansy!” cried Draco desperately. “He won’t stop. I can’t talk to him, I can’t distract him, nothing! He’s impossible!”
“Calm down, calm down,” Pansy cooed. Cooing wasn’t her strong suit, Draco had to admit, but desperate times … “Tell me what’s wrong.”
“It’s that ruddy Wizarding Idol show! He won’t stop watching it, and he won’t stop whining about wanting to be on it. He can’t sing, for Merlin’s sake!”
Pansy laughed aloud, but was quickly quieted by Draco’s glare. “Surely he’s not that bad,” she said, trying to pacify her friend. Again, pacifying is not Pansy’s forte.
“He sang to me last night, Pans … to me! I thought I would die! He IS that bad. And when he gets that ridiculously sappy look on his face, he looks an utter idiot! He killed Voldemort for Merlin’s sake! Picture it now - the Boy Who Lived, the Chosen One, the whatever-the-hell they call him now, getting up on stage and singing - I use that word loosely - some love song to his former-death-eater boyfriend in front of the entire wizarding world? Oh, God, just AK me now!”

The premise of the show is that they travel all over the country (in our case, the world) recruiting potentials for the show. People choose their own songs, and sing them in front of a panel of three judges (sometimes four). The show can be quite funny during the auditions, as there are some people that are horrendous singers!
The idea for our comm is just to write fics in the HP world that are based on the show "Wizarding Idol". The challenges set the framework for when/where the show will take place, and the theme of the show (not really based on Idol, but our own twist to make it interesting). But you can write anything - it doesn't have to be in response to the challenge/prompts. It just needs to link to the "show" ... it could be about the characters watching the show, staging their own one at Hogwarts or elsewhere, preparing to go, or actually trying out. You can use or not use the characters we identify in our challenge (e.g. you don't have to bring the judges in at all, if you don't want to).
The judges of American Idol are the ones described below:
Simon is the nasty one that says things like, "you must not have good friends, if they allowed you to come on this show when you clearly can't sing," or "that was the WORST thing I've ever heard," or "this is a joke, right?" In other words, SNAPE would be most like him.
Paula has a reputation for being all giddy and ditzy, and has been accused of being drunk or on something when on the show. Trelawny would be most like her.
Randy is more the in-between. He is honest, but not cruel.
And the "judging" we do is going to be all in fun - NOT critiquing anybody's work ... GAH! As if we could! Hope that helps ...
