I'm going to try something. It requires your participation! And perhaps some sparkly text:
~*ROUND-ROBIN COMMENTFIC PARTY!!*~
That's right! Right here on this post. Here's how it works, I think:
1. Anyone can reply to this post with commentfic. Anyone can start, and anyone can continue. That's right, even you!
2. Any genre, any ship, any fandom. Crossovers okay!
3. One commentfic thread is allowed to branch off into several commentfic threads. TITS, you can click 'Reply to This' at any point in an established thread.
4. You can comment with just one sentence, or you can go up to the character limit. If you exceed the character limit, post two comments. Whatever.
5. Threads will go for as long as they have to.
6. If this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight.
These guidelines will be added to/modified as the situation arises. Questions/concerns? Go!

Gossip Girl Goes To Hogwarts - Part One (WARNING: EXTREME CRACK AHEAD)
When Blair got on the Hogwarts Express the first thing she did was try to find Nate.
She kept an eye out for Serena too, of course, but Serena could take care of herself. Poor Nate could be wandering about, hopelessly lost, or, even worse, sequestered with idiotic Muggleborns. It wasn't his fault his big blue eyes were too trustworthy and his face seemed to say, "I am alone and confused, please take me into your fold and feed me." It attracted exactly the wrong sort of crowd. No, she'd find him, and then they'd seek out the the best compartment. Blair would even give him half her watercress sandwich, if he wanted.
It came as something of an anti-climax when she finally found him already sitting in the best compartment, next to Serena, of all people - who apparently hadn't even bothered to look for Blair, her best friend - and laughing at something that horrible Bass boy said.
Blair yanked the compartment door open so hard the glass rattled ominously. (She could practically hear the beginning of her mother's lecture about Tantrums In Public.) Serena didn't even have the decency to look guilty, instead smiling warmly and giving Blair a little wave.
"Where have you been?" Blair said in what the hoped was a cold and imposing manner.
Serena shrugged. (Shrugged!) "I was going to look for you, but then I ran into Nate, and Chuck invited us to sit in his compartment-"
"His compartment?" Blair said shrilly. Surely he couldn't have reserved the compartment, Blair herself had tried several weeks previous.
"Something wrong, Waldorf?" Chuck said coolly.
Blair was about to snap back, but Serena blithely continued, as if neither of them had said anything. "Anyway, I figured you'd find us eventually. Which you did!" Serena flashed her another warm grin and Blair's annoyance began to dissipate. There was no sense in being upset with Serena, it was just the way she was. Flitting from person to person, thought to thought, like a very large, golden butterfly.
Besides, at that moment Nate smiled up at her and said, "I'm glad you're here, Blair." Blair felt her chest clench up and her stomach flutter weakly. Nate was here, and he was fine, and that was what the wanted. She could handle other people taking care of him, she could. In fact, she appreciated it.
"Me too," she said simply, and sat down between him and Serena. There was more room on Chuck's side of the compartment, but Blair would rather be sorted into Hufflepuff than sit next to him. Well, maybe not Hufflepuff. Slytherin, then. Blair laced her fingers through Nate's and gave Chuck a smug smile.
He made a big show of rolling his eyes, but Blair saw the corner of his mouth twitch slightly. Ha, she thought, Waldorf: 1, Bass: 0.
Satisfied by her minor victory, Blair took the opportunity to direct the silence in the compartment towards something stimulating. "So," she said brightly, "What House do you think you'll be sorted into, Nate?" Nate opened his mouth to respond, but Blair surged on. "I'll be a Ravenclaw, of course. Everyone know it's the best House."
