Inspirations 4

Basics:
The title of this contest is called "Inspirations". I'll be choosing one of my fanarts and the contestants will come up with a fanfiction inspired from the picture.

Contest picture:

Rules:
1.) Fanfiction/s must depict a Harry/Hermione ship
2.) Fanfiction/s must be inspired from the contest picture or shows a scene wherein the contest picture is depicted
3.) Each contestant is limited to 2 fanfiction entries. A single fanfic with several chapters is considered as one entry.
4.) Any rating from G to NC-17 is accepted
5.) Contestants MUST indicate the overall rating of their fictions be it G, PG-13, PG-15 or NC-17. 
6.) Fanfiction/s must be sent in as .doc, .htm, or .html files ONLY! .txt formats will NOT be accepted. Zip files may be used to send in several entries.
7.) Entries must be sent Only to this address: quillsnspills@yahoo.com
8.) Entries must be sent within or before the contest dates and never after the deadline. Contest dates may be subject to change.

NEW IMPORTANT RULE: This is different from all the other Inspirations contest I had before. Since this contest is gaining rapid popularity, I decided to make it more challenging. This time, the fanfiction/s are required to have certain words or maybe themes in them. For this contest, the following words must be in your fanfic:

1.) Quill/s
2.) Spill/s

Use these words however you like and as much as you like just as long as these two words are present in your fanfiction entry. If these words are not in it, your fic will automatically be disqualified.

Contest dates:
Contest starts December 30, 2004 and ends on January 30, 2005. Deadline date may be subject to change. 

PRIZE:
There won't be a major prize, okay? I'm not exactly the richest girl in the world. The prize is that I will draw any HP art you will ask of me just for you. Due to the surprise success of this competition, there will be THREE winners, the 1st placer (3 requests), 2nd placer (2 requests) and the 3rd placer (1 request). The winners can only win 3 consecutive contests after which, he/she shouldn't enter the next 3 contests. Let's give others a chance to win. If the winners do not respond to my e-mail within 30 days, the prize will be awarded to the 2nd placer and so on and so forth. But there are rules too, for the prize:

1.) I will not grant requests of couples other than the ff: Harry/Hermione; Draco/Ginny; Lily/James; Ron/Luna; Bill Weasley/Fleur. I may consider other couples if the negotiation between me and the winner is good.
2.) Solo pictures of certain characters are fine with me.
3.) All characters in your request should be found in the book. No fan-based characters please
4.) I won't grant requests on Hogwarts castle or Hogsmeade town or any building structures. Let's stick with characters K?
5.) I will definitely NOT grant any requests that involve R-18 material. You know what I mean. No skin, okay? Let's keep it clean. I'd hate to receive hate mails from concerned parents
6.) I have the right to ask for a change in request if I am not at all comfortable with the one the winner gives.

You may be thinking, "C'mon. You said we could have any request!" But of course, we have to set some rules. Oh, and one more thing, the winner can rest assured that her/his request WILL be granted.
