The Seven Deadly Sins

This is the collection of challenge responses to my own challenge for the Seven Deadly Sins. For reference, this was the challenge:

So here’s the challenge:

I’ve long wanted to read a series centered around the Seven Deadly Sins and their counteractive virtues. The characters of HP fandom and canon give so much fodder for the mill, so to speak. My idea is to use each pair of sin/virtue as a pairing for one story, with one character or characters representing the sin and one character or characters representing the virtue. It doesn’t matter who the pairings are, or if the virtuous partner wins out over the sinful.


Email me at pittwitch@yahoo.com with your claims and suggestions. The bidding on the pairs will be closed on Saturday, 4/18. The challenge will include a completed drabble, ficlet or full-blown story one month hence, May 18, 2009.

Gluttony v. temperance -- Jilliane & Pittwitch

Lust v. chastity -- BBD

Greed v. charity -- Tambra the Great

Sloth v. Diligence -- Scaranda

Wrath v. Patience -- LibertyElyot

Envy v. kindness -- Scaranda

Pride v. humility -- LaBibliographe and Jilliane


So, I hope I inspire a horde talented scribes to some serious fun. I can't decide which one I want so I'll wait and take the last one if necessary. My first inclination is for Crabbe & Goyle with Luna as gluttony and temperance but I'm also interested to see what stems from your wicked minds. If someone else wants that set, please do take it. Sin away, my virtuous friends!

Thanks for taking the time to consider playing the game.

First chapter: a remarkable pairing from the lovely LaBibliographe, who won the honor by finishing first! The checkered flag (or checkered past) is hers!
