    It was all part of Selethe's master plan to turn this into a Twilight fanfiction forum. What was missing was the severe lack of Edward/Bella.

    You gotta actually write this time. I'm pretty sure you forgot all keys but w, a, s, d.

    Urgh... Brainstorming. Not a huge fan of the two leading prompts but I can feel the creative juices flowing.

    Just in case romance wins ... if only one of the - as of now - 26 people that voted for Romance doesn't write an entry or reviews, I'm gonna hunt you down and kill you. :)

    Argh, romance ... I really, really wanted to enter again, because last time was pretty fun, but romance and me ...
    Might as well just write something, but it's probably gonna be shit.

    Then, again, I suppose that's where the reviews get even more helpful.

    What happens if there's a draw out of interest?

    Then clearly they both cancel each other out and the next in line should take the Iron Throne.

    What do you mean I have a personal interest in making sure Armageddon wins? I refuse to entertain anymore of this nonsense questioning.

    Three hours to go, and I'm willing to change my vote if someone offers me 10 grand.

    Seriously, though, is there any agreement on what 'romance' requires? An earnest love-based relationship, or a twisted Harry/Bellatrix in the dungeons? Is it okay to write a crack-fic featuring McGonagall and Crookshanks?

    I would cough up 50 bucks if everyone was forced to write a serious Harry/Hermione, especially @Sesc :p

    Harry/Hermione based off Starfox renders only.

    A Sirius/Bellatrix "romance" in Azkaban easily covers the two possible winning options.

    End it with Sirius getting the newspaper with Pettigrew on the cover and nail all four.

    Romance it is.

    Remember, Ladies and Gentleman, the voting is over Christmas so if none of you write an elf gang bang while preparing Hogwart's Christmas feast, you'll really be letting the side down. Don't make us all look bad.

    We need something to read out over an open fire, you know?

    I hadn't been thinking of what Dobby, Winky, and Kreacher might do together with their roasted chestnuts and Hermione's knitted hats, but now I am.

    I feel like HPFF or some undercover state operator influenced our vote. I can't figure out how romance won. But then again vampires won last time.

    Kinda irksome because I know of the thirty people that voted, maybe five people will post and the rest of you will just read and not give feedback like greedy whores.
