Okay, so since this really isn't on the character list, I just picked OC, even though technically Joseph Wronski isn't an OC, the rest of the characters are. Make sense? Good.
Disclaimer: Joseph Wronski, and his Wronski Feint, and the internatioal teams mentioned during his story, and the game of Quidditch, and the magic mentioned, and the... okay, let me refrase this:
The only part of this story I own is Jo's teammates, and the plot. Everything else I got from the Harry Potter books and Quidditch Through the Ages. So there.
I. A Question of Importance
Now, I know what you're thinking. These people aren't even on the list of characters to choose from that so kindly provided to guide those writers who seem eager to bend the rules. That's too bad. Just because you don't know any of these people, and will only recognize one man's name (Joseph Wronski), doesn't mean that these people aren't important.
I mean, did J.K. Rowling keep Harry Potter within the lines of a character list? I think not! I mean, the very idea - it's absurd!
Still, you may think I'm out of my mind. Lord knows I must have better things to do than to painstakingly chart out the story of seven Polish Quidditch players and their aquaintances. The fact is, I'm going to write this story anyway, because these seven Polish Quidditch players are important. They've changed lives, for Pete's sake, how much more important do they need to be?
Don't believe me? Consider this:
How different would Zygfryd Zawisza's life be if he had never been given the chance to manage the legendary Grodzisk Goblins?
How different would Ada Krol's life be if her husband, Rafal Krol, hadn't gotten the Chaser position on the team?
How different would Otylia Skala, the Keeper's life be if she'd never met Lukasz Jaskolski, the Beater.
How different would Celestyna Bartosz's life be if her son hadn't found a game intriging enough to keep him out of trouble?
How different would Diogo Belo's life be if he'd never played against Gertruda Czajka in the World Cup of 1985?
And, of course, how different would the game of Quidditch be if Joseph Wronski had never invented, practiced, and perfected the legendary and infamous Wronski Feint?
Oh, so now you think they're important? Well, fine, I'll let you read their story.
But only because you apologized.
Reviews are never unwelcome!!! And any suggestions would be really welcome, because I'm really on my own for this one. The only mention ever made about Joseph Wronski EVER is the name of his team and the fact that he invented the Wronski Feint... that doesn't give me very much, you know?
Thank you!
