Our 1st Annual Bedeviled Liaison Graphics Contest!



The LUV'NV is trying to provoke both readers and writers alike to fall in love with the unloved, and what better way to do so than with visual aid!

We're holding our first Annual Bedeviled Liaison Graphics Contest, and there's no better time with Valentine's Day around the corner.

We want see your favorite non-canon pairings and get everyone to fall in love with them—whether you've written the pairing before or it's only wishful thinking. The effervescent, vexed, or seductive couple can be with anyone, like Jacob and Rosalie, Demetri and Renee, or Charlie and Carlisle—and yes, even Jasper and Bella.

— RULES —
1. Must be a Twilight non-canon pairing.
2. Twilight cast only. Must use the cast prior to the movie Breaking Dawn. So you can use your own Peter, but not your own Aro. (Also? Please give us the name of the Actor, Model, Singer, etc. if he/she wasn't cast before BD.)
3. Dimensions: A minimum of 250px x 250px. We want to see the image and the work you put in it! Note: Images are sized for posting purposes*
4. Image cannot have fully-exposed bare breasts or nude buns. Visible genitalia is not allowed. Please keep provocative submissions tasteful.
5. Graphic cannot be your fic banner or a manipulation of another fanfiction artist's work. If you made the banner for your story, you may use that as your submission, but the graphic cannot have the story title on it.
6. No more than two (2) entries per artist.
7. Please include the images used for your submission(s). We want to see the before and afters.
8. And last, please ensure that your signature can be seen on the final image.
