Marcus/Oliver
Marcus Flint (ginlikeflint) was played by ellensmithee until March 2005, then by kaalee from April to October 2005.[1] Oliver Wood (thebigbadwood) was played by deblovesdragon until July 2005,[2] then anonymously taken over by ellensmithee until October 2005.[3] Both character journals have since been deleted.

Character Q&As: Oliver Wood Q&A (deblovesdragon, 30 November 2004), Oliver Wood Q&A (deblovesdragon, 28 June 2005), Marcus Flint Q&A (kaalee, 28 June 2005).
Deb commissioned the fanart A kiss is just a kiss from ildi_bp, based on a March 2005 scene of the same name, as a goodbye gift for Ellen when she left the character of Marcus. ildi wrote:
I must admit that they (Deb and Ellen) played together the most thrilling Marcus/Oliver, really, and managed to win me over from someone who never considered the pairing before to someone who was rooting for the Quiddich Captains wholeheartedly. Thank you ladies![4]
Other fans also credit the RPG for turning them on to the Flint/Wood ship. lore wrote in May 2005: "I am totally and utterly in love with Marcus/Oliver. And I never read them in fandom before, but I am weak in the knees for them now. Thank you [kaalee] for not ankling their romance. I would have been heartbroken, but instead, I am thrilled at the turns it has taken!"[5]
ildi later created another Marcus/Oliver illustration based on the April 2005 scene "The Morning After...".[6] The storyline also inspired Flint/Wood fanfiction such as kaalee's "A glorious, wild view..." (August 2005).
