First of all, I want to say 'thank you muchly!' to everyone who contributed art and fiction to this challenge. I heard from a lot of you directly after everything was posted, mostly saying, "It's so hard to choose!"
I have updated all contributions with the artist's/author's names, so you can check out who actually did what at the
Handy Dandy List o' Submissions. I have also opened commenting at each of the posts if you want to leave praise, constructive criticism and the like. Feel free to post your own submission on your LJ or deviantart page or wherever at this point! I'd love it if you linked back here but that's not a requirement.
I also made a few icons for everyone to use - if you decide to take them, please follow the polite rule of No Hotlinking. If you want to credit, feel free; I appreciate credit. *grins*
Finally, the winners! I am delighted that so many of you took the time to vote and a couple of pieces of both fic and art were running neck and neck while I was tallying, however, there were no tie breaking deals to be done. So, congratulations go out to:
