I love reading the fanfics from the contests. And I enjoy writing them too. Fanfiction is such a creative outlet and fics can be humorous, sad, dramatic or just a great way of letting out some of our wacky fan theories.
I sound like I'm selling fanfiction here. Oh dear. Well, Bring on the fanfics contest crew! They are always a lot of fun! -------------------- |

I'll just pop in here and third what Madsdagirl and dragon_ofdestiny have said and say that my favorite contests so far are the fanfic ones.
I'm also a big filk fan - I think it would be great to have a filky contest in the future! -------------------- Avatar by An_Eternal_Night "Look for me when the sun bright sparrow sings upon the birch bough high..." - The Decemberists |

As I am artistically challenged, I prefer the writing ones. I do love seeing the great things that others can draw but I prefer writing. I like both the more analytical essays and fanfics.
I'm a lot of help, aren't I?

I would love to see another crafty contest! I love looking at all the HP crafts/food... I thought that contest was really cool, and I'd be interested to see another one... perhaps even enter this time!

I've voted for the art/Photoshop option becuase I love creating banners and pictures with this program. It would be great a fanart contest because I'm quite good drawing the characters and the scenary.
Maybe the worst option for me is the fanfic... because I'm not enough inspired to write a good story. -------------------- ^o^ The end is near... ^o^

Hmmm I voted other because as a drama geek I love all things theatre...
I'm not sure if it's at all feasible - or if there's the interest for it - but how would people feel about a contest involving writing a script, filming a HP related skit, or similar? -------------------- Enter Leaky's latest contest here Equality is like gravity.

I voted for Essay- because its the easiest one to do and can be done by everyone. Some people dont have photoshop, I myself just got it, so that discludes a lot of people. I like the creativity and the old fashioned style of a well written essay

Just a thought, but it would be cool to have a contest to write the plot of Harry Potter 8.

I voted for Writing Fan Fiction. I've never entered a contest on Leaky before, so I can't wait for the next one to get started. Writing Fan Fiction is about all that I would be able to do. I can't do much with pictures or photos.

You know what I thought would be a nice contest thing... basically a fan fiction contest. like writing a chapter only and you give the most intriguing ones the prize.... maybe a topic could be the making of the marauder's map, like how it came about and who came up with it and why. (I've always thought that it would have been James who came up with it and Remus who started compiling it...but thats just me

We love fanfiction contests! We have held a couple of different ones in the past...links to the most recent winners of the "Deathly Dursley's" Fanfic Contest can be found here. We are looking at doing another longer fanfiction contest sometime next year, thanks for the topic suggestion!

I voted other. Never joined, but maybe I can write a poem or something. Or a fanfic. Or if we get a scanner, fanart. Or maybe essays. Or if we get Photoshop, art with it. Wait! I think I can do all of them!

Ooh, topic-necromancy. Might as well make my post as well.
For me, it's really a tie between the first...four....XD But I chose the Photoshop one, because I absolutely love to make Harry Potter graphics--avatars, signatures, random graphics...Yeah. =) -------------------- [Sig image removed.]

I'm actually a "trying-to-get-published" writer... maybe some day you'll actually read something that I've written!
