Skeets
This is one of the five new writing categories for TWL, and one of the more confusing ones, admittedly. First off, has anyone here read the Harry Potter series? More specifically, Hary Potter and the Goblet of Fire? If you have, you'll understand this section to some degree, and if you haven't, don't worry. If anyone has the book on them, now would be a nice time to pull it out and read some of Rita Skeeter's articles. Yep, that's what this section is designed to imitate: Rita SKEETer's (for those that are a bit slow...) twisted way of reporting the news. Come here not for the real news, but for a bit of dark humor. To give everyone an example of Rita's exaggerated views of the news, I'll give you a quote from the GoF:
'"Not by name," said Mr. Weasley. "Listen to this: 'If the terrified witches and wizards who waited breathlessly for news at the edge of the forest expected reassurance from the Ministry of Magic, they were sadly disappointed. A Ministry official emerged sometime after the appearance of the Dark Mark alleging that nobody had been hurt, but refusing to give any more information. Whether this statement will be enough to quash the rumors that several bodies were removed from the woods an hour later, remains to be seen.' Oh really," said Mr. Weasly in exasperation...'

Truthfully, I have absolutely no idea how these will turn out, because, while it is a creative idea, it is also rather confusing. Remember that you can write and submit your own skeets as well, and we'll need your help in getting this section rolling.
