Okay, here comes that time I’ve been dreading since I first posted this contest… picking the winners. Now, I judged this contest via cell phone with my sister and her two friends that were visiting. So the important thing to remember here is that if you don’t like the outcome, blame them.

1st Prize

"Arse" by *RohanElf
I couldn't argue with three 16 year-old girls that demanded I make this 1st place. It displays technical ability, effort and humor, and it's exactly what I was looking for. I'm happy to award RohanElf a 6 month subscription!

Runner Up (Tie)

"The Marauders" by *Lorey
As soon as I saw this entry, I knew it would place. It's gorgeous, even though it's in a style that I don't usually prefer. Although our other judges said that Snape was "too good-looking", you have to admit the piece is beautiful, and even better when you hit "download"! I couldn't be happier to award Lorey a 3 month subscription.

Runner Up (Tie)

"Marauders in a Kitchen" by *Atelierdereve
While this isn't as popular as the other two winners, it was certainly popular with our judges. Even ~kickz516 who pretty much hates anything with James Potter in it called to tell me that this should place. (I guess she couldn't resist James banging around those pots and pans.) Anyway, it really captures the spirit of the young Marauders, and is definitely deserving of a 3 month subscription!

Bonus Prize

"Finally" by *coNstantine2530
~Sirius-is-cool offered to donate a 1 month subscription as an extra prize, so we would like to place one more entry. This comic is stunning from the very first panel, and everyone's reaction to it can be summed up with one word: Awwww!!!

Both of there pictures were being considered for entry, and the first was chosen. But I was biting my lip because when I first started the contest, I was dying for someone to draw them at Three Broomsticks! So I decided to put both of them in. I especially love the fact that Lily is engaged at school like I fantasized they would.


God, I wish I had another place for this entry, because I love it so much. Need I say why? No, probably not.


These three were absolutely hilarious! I'm sure ~beabean's wasn't intended to be so... but it makes me think of ~PhoenixPrincess's entry, so maybe you can understand where I'm coming from.

Now I'd just like to thank everyone for particpating in this stupid contest! I really hope no one's disappointed. I wish I could give you all subscriptions!

Winners, you will receive your subscriptions as soon as I figure out how to donate them.
Congratulations!
