TRUE EDIT: Updated! The contest has been extended two weeks from Nov. 9th to Nov. 23rd!

To celebrate H&E turning five years old it's time for another contest which requires the participation from our wondrous NaruSaku fanbase!

There is only one prompt:

5. (Yes, the number 5. That's it!)

Your fanfiction or fanart has to have the above prompt and NaruSaku. You can have such themes including "fifth anniversary", "five days", "five reasons", "five rejections" or any sort of occurrence theme with that number included.

Whatever you choose, it HAS to be the main theme of your picture/story. You can't wing it and use an example such as "Sakura confessed to Naruto. They kissed. Sai and Kakashi high fived. The end." or a NaruSaku related fanart and then have the number 5 written in kanji or roman numeral in the background.

You have starting from as soon as you've read this thread till November 23th 8 p.m. EST to enter your fanfic/fanart submission for the contest. Please upload your fanart to the H&E gallery and fanfic to the H&E library (a separate category will be created for the contest). You can enter as many submissions as you want as long as the "five" theme is different for each submission. Previous works are acceptable as long as they fit the criteria. Just as before we will let the fans be the judges! You will have till November 30th 8 p.m. EST to look through the submissions and vote for your top three favorite in each category and send in your votes to Smiter who will tally them afterward.

Your submissions can be rated up to M - a little citrus is allowed, but please no graphic sexual or violent content! To be safe, try to keep it around PG-13 or below.

The prizes are divided into three groups. Whoever wins 1st place gets the first pick! 2nd place will get to choose from the remaining two prizes, and 3rd place will get whatever remains.

[Miss Soupy]

oh my... I haven't written NaruSaku for so long ;_; I wonder if I have it in me anymore?

I'm jealous of the Sai plushie tho XD too bad I'm not an artist

[Cupcake-chan]

I'll try to draw something good enough Though, don't be surprised it turns out like crap

[Denim88]

Hoo boy, okay, I'm in. I owe it to myself, I guess. I've been slacking in the NaruSaku dept. lately, lol. Count me in for fanfiction!

Five...five...

Hm, I'll think of something!

[Saku-chan]

Lol five rejections. XD

I'll fer sure enter something. :3

[Smiter]

Sorry this was late! Blame it on me moving to my own flat, having no internet connection (STILL WAITING), and my desktop going BSOD-crazy. ;

I've cleared up the information on the prizes. There are actually three winners for each category (fanfic and fanart), not one. I've also uploaded the correct photos of the plushies!

Remember, you can do ANYTHING AT ALL with the prompt, just as long as it's the main theme of your story! Here are a few more suggestions for the number 5:

Flowers
Dates

Good luck to everyone! I'd love to enter but, alas, I'm the admin of the contest. It wouldn't be right. XD;

There are still things coming up within the next few weeks.

[peanutbutter126]

Haha, that's one broad prompt. XD I don't usually enter contests so it all depends on my inspiration. I'll try writing something up if I can think of any ideas.

Good luck to anyone who enters. Those are some great prizes.

[Froot]
