May Contest #2

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

An easy point-earner! Details behind the cut.


Contest Type: Text

Specifics: Have you ever been listening to a song and then think, "Hey.. this is perfect for Harry..."?? Well here's your chance to prove it. Submit song lyrics in a comment that you think describes a character, pairing, or event in the Potterverse.

All characters must be canon; pairings and events can be fanon, but please don't stray too far! I don't want to see any entries like this:

Song: "Supermodel (You Better Work!) by RuPaul
Event: Harry winning a drag show.

At least stay close to home, okay? Songs depicting possible future battles are much more likely. :)

You may enter one song for each category (character, pairing, event). All will be voted upon at the end of the contest, in their proper categories.

Size Regulations? Full sets of lyrics. If your lyrics won't fit, please link me to them.

Deadline: Friday, May 27, 2004 by ten p.m. US Central time

Participation Points: Ten per entry in each category (thirty total)

Winning Points: First: 20 extra, Second: 15 extra, Third: 10 extra


All general rules may be found here.

I have a question, If we pick song lyrics for a pairing, do we need to add a description of how the lyrics relate?

Nope; the song lyrics should be so good they explain themselves. ;)

I need to know the character. :) I assume it's for Remus, but just to be sure... ;)

Bunny

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. But you'll still need to give me the specifics of what the event is. Same for your character entry. :)

Does the pairing have to be romanitic? Can it be friendship or like mother/son?

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

That's fine. :)

Question

Re: Question

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

Yep! :)

[malaikah-roy.livejournal.com]

Exactly what is meant by 'event'? Because I had two songs, and I don't know if they'd fall under character or event.

Example:

[insert song] goes with how Harry felt when he found out he was a wizard

Would that be character or event? Or maybe both? If it's both, and if I find 2 songs, can I submit one each? =P heh

~Malaikah, Gryffindor

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

Yep, that would be considered an event. :) The character songs would be something that describes that character at all times, not just during a certain moment. ^^

hee, I'm sorry my jargon is a little rusty but by fanon do you mean that I could maybe, possibly, perhapsily, post a harry/draco theme song?

*cringes in fear, but crosses fingers at the same time*

Alex//Gryffindor

Hehe, no worries. :) Pretty much any pairing is game.

I know this is late, my apologizes. If it doesn't count, that's ok. I just wanted to give this a shot anyways, since you haven't posted the polls yet. Anyways...

Everybody Wants to be a Cat
From The Aristocats

Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at.
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,
'cause everything else is obsolete.
Now a square with a horn,
can make you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;
and with a square in the act,
he can set music back
to the caveman days.
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
but a cat's the only cat
who knows how to swing.
Who wants to dig
a long-haired gig
or stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat.
A square with that horn,
makes you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;
and with a square in the act,
he's gonna set this music back
to the Stone Age days.
Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at;
while playin' jazz you always has a Welcome mat,
'cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.
Everybody digs a swingin' cat.

Reminds me of Crookshanks :)

Again, sorry >.<

Sorry this didn't make it into the polls, I had begun them when the deadline was up, so it didn't quite make it. I'll still give you credit/points for entering, though. :)
