Just two notes... [Monday, July 11th, 2005|3:13pm]

mithborien
Okay, since there weren't many submissions for OOTP Challenge part I am going to forgo the voting and just skip straight to the final submission challenge if anyone is still interested. So for anyone who has a complete set of drabbles and/or icons that are related to the five HP books then feel free to submit them in a new post using whatever formatting you like, just make sure the majority of your work is under a cut. There will be no voting for them however since I got kind of slack and screwed up the schedule.

After this mission has finally finished and after I've finished reading HBP and after I sort out my first week back at TAFE I am going to redo the rules, mission, posting guidelines, etc and hopefully come up with other stuff to do for this community to do. If you have any ideas that you definately want to see then comment to this post.

MISSION #004 | The HP Countdown Challenge (GOB Results and Voting) [Thursday, June 30th, 2005|3:07pm]

mithborien
The third week of the HP Countdown Challenge: The Goblet of Fire is now closed.

DRABBLES

This week three drabbles were submitted and you can read them here.

ICONS

The results of last weeks icon challenge have been counted and the winner is... )

This week for the GOB icon challenge only four icons subitted and they are under the cut below. Please comment this the post with the number of your most favourite icons (only vote for one). Do not vote for yourself, all comments will be screened and if you have any questions or comments please include them as a different comment to your vote.

Voting will last for approximately one week until the next challenge round has ended.

HP Countdown - The Goblet of Fire Icon Challenge )

Thankyou to everyone who entered this week. Keep in mind you don't have to participate every week in order to submit an entire set of icons and/or drabbles relating to the five books at the end of the five weeks. Feel free to add or edit your final set of creations before submission at the end.

Again feel free to pimp this challenge around as you don't have to be a member of this community to enter.

As I said before the reason why this is later than normal is because I had stocktake at work and was too buggered to do anything else. In which case the Order of the Phoenix ICON and DRABBLE challenges are already up and will probably end late this weekend. Then you will all have one week to submit your final set of drabble and/or icons and then voting will commence for those and a winner of sorts or something will be announced just before HBP comes out.

Compose a drabble (100 words) that relates, however obscurely, to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

- while a drabble technically consists of 100 words, you won’t be beheaded if you go over or under. However, you’ll receive extra points if you stay exact. Not that we give of points out here…
- comment to this entry with your drabble, entries will not be screened
- you may write as many drabbles as you want to but remember you may only use one as part of your final set of creations.


You do not have to be a member of this empire to enter this challenge. However, it would be great if you were :)

Please complete your drabble sometime by next Friday the 1st/Saturday the 2nd of July.

Okay, since there were no entries for the Goblet of Fire Icon challenge I am going to leave the ICON and DRABBLE challenges open for a couple more days. As well as the voting for the Prisoner of Azkaban challenge.

And also I just went through an entire weekend of stocktake and can't be bothered doing much at the moment. But I will post the Order of the Phoenix challenges.

DISCUSSIONS #002: WHO'S YOUR PRINCE? [Friday, June 17th, 2005|6:44pm]

greencookie
La la la. You were all expecting this. You all knew it was coming. It was all a matter of who would ask first. Who would succumb to the temptation to put forth...the big one.

The big question.

At least for the next month or so.

Who is the half-blood prince? )

Just a slightly past mid-week reminder that The Prisoner of Azkaban challenge is still open and you can enter your icons here and your drabbles here.

Also, there was a discussion posted by [info]thyme_writting about the possible redemption of characters in the HP universe which you should all check out.

Cheers.

DISCUSSIONS #001: REDEMPTION AND BELIEVABILITY [Saturday, June 11th, 2005|5:07pm]

thyme_writting
Could there be redemption for some of the "hated" character in the end? Would you find it believable? Could the Dursleys turn around and help out with the war? Could one or all of the Malfoys turn to the side of light? What about the other Death Eater families? Can the Slytherins be saved?

Is it possbile for some of the characters of Harry Potter )

So, do you agree with me? Think I am out to lunch? Did I forget someone?

I figured I would finally ask my questions and post my reasons for asking. Why here? It seemed like a good place to ask. Besides, there was no Randoms up yet, so I thought I would add one.

Okay, here goes. Questions: )

But well thanks y'all :D

Anyway, this was the winning icon which was made by myself:



If you want you can check the voting here. I was going to make the winner a banner but I can't be bothered if it's me.

So the first week of the HP Countdown Challenge (The Philosopher's Stone) was moderately successful.

Please comment to this post with the numbers of your two favourite icons. Do not vote for yourself and all comments will be screened (I entered icons of my own so I will unscreen the vote later so you can check that I haven't rigged any of the votes ;). If you have any other questions, please include them in a separate comment to your vote so I can unscreen them.

Voting will last for one week until the next challenge round has ended.
