So, with the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows a lot of fantasies were fulfilled, and many theories crushed. There were probably tears, laughter, and maybe even some guffaws of disgust. But as we know it, Harry Potter is over.

So, until the next two movies premier, and while we’re waiting for construction on the theme park, we decided the best course of action was to create:

What’s Left Now?!?
A Contest that gives Harry Potter fans something to look forward to.



The Objective:

VISUAL ART
Create fan art inspired by the world of Harry Potter and the fiction written by J.K.R.
The Catch:
You must use at least one piece of stock from either *faestock, =intergalacticstock, *PhotoStockMarket, or =PersephoneStock. You may use other stock as well, as long as a piece of ours is included.

So far we have some wonderful images of:

Luna Lovegood:


Hermione Granger:


Draco Malfoy:


Ginny Weasley:


Moaning Myrtle:


Draco and Ginny:


Draco and Moaning Myrtle:


Draco and Hermione:


Luna, Hermione, and Ginny:


There is definitely more to come as well, so be on the lookout of our galleries!

***

LITERATURE
Create a piece of fan-fiction that shows us your favorite relationship that should have been but never was! Sort of like in high school, where they make you vote for the cutest couple that never happened.
Please, be creative, seriously, think of anything you could write about, especially characters that maybe aren’t covered too much in fan fic.

The Rules:

VISUAL ART
1. You must use a piece of stock from *faestock, *PhotoStockMarket, =intergalacticstock, or =PersephoneStock, although it does NOT have to be from our Harry Potter stock exclusively. You could use another picture in one of our galleries for your art as well.
2. Your deviation must be related to Harry Potter. Whether it’s a comic of your favorite moment, a tribute to the relationship that should have happened, or even a political piece in which you tear down Cornelius Fudge’s ministry (though good luck with that!), it should represent some part of the world of Harry Potter.
This MAY and probably WILL BE fanart!
3. All mediums are open and encouraged! We love drawings and painting!
4. No gore or pornography, be tasteful please!
5. You may submit as many entries as you want, although we revere QUALITY over QUANTITY.

***

LITERATURE
1. All content must be below an NC-17 rating. (Keep it PG-13 folks)
2. No more than 2000 words. We love your work, but we can’t spend too many hours judging.
3. All entries must have been created AFTER this contest was created, meaning after September 21st 2007! If we find out that your fic was previously written it will be disqualified.
4. NO MARY SUES!

Your Submission Check List:

VISUAL ART
___ Make sure your submission meets the standards on the rules.

EXTRA CREDIT

To put it plain and simple, we LOVE comics, be it one panel cartoons or weeks and weeks of storyline.
And we also love Harry Potter!

So, if you submit a Harry Potter comic using our stock for this contest then not only will it continue to run in the contest, but it will get a special “Comics” feature on our journal page.


DISCLAIMER

We will not put any special preference into judging based on OUR favorite pairings or style of art. We are objective judges during this contest. Inside this contest we view every Harry Potter obsession equally, outside of this contest, your ship stinks unless it’s our ship!

SO! Now you have sometime Harry Potter related to fill your previously empty time with!


So, without further ADO, our contest is OPEN!



Much Love,

=PersephoneStock, *PhotoStockMarket, =intergalacticstock, *faestock
