Time for another HF fanmix contest! Again, I'm gonna stray a bit from canon; after all, we know who loves who. This time we're gonna focus on characters who likely will never interact: a mix about two characters played by the same person!

Here are the rules:

• The two characters you pick MUST be played by the same person. If you have any questions about who plays who, let me know -- I know it can get confusing!
• It does have to be only TWO characters, so if someone plays three characters, just pick two!
• It can be a romantic mix or a friendship mix or even enemies -- whatever you want!
• It can be a slashy mix if you like -- just keep in mind there IS going to be a future slash ship mix theme for this contest!
• Your mix must have 7-10 songs, no more, no less
• Cover art is optional but you receive extra points if you include it
• PM Parvati Patil with your entries and I will pick 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
• The songs on your mix must relate to the theme - but you are not allowed to use any Wizard Rock!
• Just PM a list of the song titles and the artist; you don't need to include lyrics or upload the music, though you can if you wish!
• Try and keep the songs in English - if you're going to use a song in a different language, at least make sure to explain a little bit what it means
• Be creative!
• The winner's list will be posted in this thread so that everyone can enjoy it and hopefully discover some new music
• You ARE allowed to make a mix of your own characters -- but it might be more fun to focus on someone else!

1st Place - 300 Galleons
2nd Place - 200 Galleons
3rd Place - 100 Galleons
Participation - 75 Galleons
Optional Cover Art - 25 Galleons

End Date: July 24

Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

[Parvati Patil]

Just posting to say I'm extending the deadline of this to Monday, July 26th because this weekend is no good for me!

Just a reminder that this contest closes tomorrow night!

cover | back

01 - meet me at the shooting range, ballboy
"But if I, If i was going to kill you? I'd do it with style. There would be planning, and preparation, and conversation for a while."

02 - take it outside, the barenaked ladies
"Any other guy would wanna take it outside, but I'd never even try - who wants to get their lights knocked out? Any other guy would wanna stir it up some, but I'd rather say goodbye."

03 - selfless, cold, and composed - ben folds five
"You've done me no favor to call and be nice; telling me I can take anything I like. You don't owe me to be so polite: You've done no wrong, get out of my sight!"

04 - maneater, the bird and the bee
"I wouldn't if I were you, I know what she can do. She's deadly, man, she could really rip your world apart. Mind over matter, the beauty is there, but a beast is in the heart."

05 - long division, death cab for cutie
"And they carried on like long division, and it was clear with every page that they were further away from a solution that would play."

06 - dog problems, the format
"I think its safe to say I've only got myself to blame.
But boys in swooping haircuts are bringing me down."

07 - happier, guster
"One more itch you son of a bitch! You've been wasting my time...always. And now you're half awake, you bend till you break and make the same mistakes."

08 - two points for honesty, guster
"If that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time. You've dreamed a thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind. Two points for honesty! It must make you sad to know that nobody cares at all."

09 - not a reasonable man, i am kloot
"And I'm not the man you think I am at all. I was learning to walk, and starting to crawl. I've no reservations, I've got no room for these souvenirs, to bring back to you. And you're not having this, and I'm not having that."
