| Week 085: White // "Live Like We're Dying" |
[Sunday
December 20th, 2009 + 7:25pm] |
Hi peeps! Miss me? Don't remember me? Well, I hope it's the former, but my disastrous semester is pretty much over so I hope to be back now! Sorry about the lateness, between finals and commencement (not mine though), I've been a bit busy this weekend until now, but here is your new theme.
HUSH THEME: White. You can have other colors in your icon, but it either has to be mainly white or the focus of your icon has to be something white (i.e., main character's white dress). If it is not clear, please explain it when submitting.
[x] No text, text brushes, or anything that may be misinterpreted as text are allowed.
LYRICAL THEME: The Script - Live Like We're Dying
( Lyrics )
Listen to it here
[x] Lyrical icon submissions must have a minimum of 3 consecutive lyrics (in order) and may not contain any additional non-lyrics.
GENERAL RULES
[] Anime, manga and video games are welcome.
[] Meet LJ standards (100x100 / 40K or less .jpg, .gif or .png only).
[] No fanart unless it is your own (artbook images are okay, doujinshi is not).
[] Include the series with your submission - not all series are recognizable (character not required).
[] Submit both the image & the URL.
[] LiveJournal userpics is not an acceptable form of image hosting.
[] Mods, as always, reserve the right to accept or deny your submission.
[] Up to two submissions are allowed per theme (hush and lyrical).
Remember that if you're unsure about whether your text for the lyrical theme is legible to leave a comment and let me know what lyrics you used. If you have any questions, comments, whatever about anything else, post them in a comment separate from your submission.
Submit both hush and lyrical icons to this screened post by Saturday, December 26th (I don't know about you, but I don't think I'll be online on Christmas night for icontest business, hence the extra day ^^). Please submit all icons to one entry. If you submitted only one then later want to submit a second icon, please delete your original submission post and resubmit them together. Thank you!
Voting will be up soon!

Sorry about that. I had finals on Friday and Saturday.
I've also come to the conclusion of how much I actually hate the normal voting xD;;;; We do it when we get more icons, but it doesn't allow enough placing spots for everyone :| And seeing as I am the only mod here, you might see a bit of spice-up in the future.
( HUSH WINNERS )
( LYRICAL WINNERS )
Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone for trudging through those two and a half weeks to get in a lot of icons! Don't forget to go to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) custom_banners if you want a banner :D
New theme will be up later today, after I think of a good one.

Okay everyone, thanks for being so patient with all of this. Between work and a six page paper, I was in no mood to do anything extra over the weekend. Today I plan on doing work on a project, and I've got work in the evening, so I'm giving you all just one more day (I swear, this time) to get any more icons into this post. We already have plenty of splendid icons, but I would /love/ more~! Let's make this theme worth 3.5 weeks!!

Whew so I don't know about you guys but I'm tired. Bad day yesterday, five page paper today, and I'm about to go off to see my friend's musical. So I'll tell ya what. I'm extending this until tomorrow morning!
We've currently got 11 hush icons and 7 lyrical icons. Any more would be loved.
And I know I'm not much in a position to say this because I'm not one of the larger mods, but what do you guys want to do with this comm? It's a struggle to get enough icons from you guys (I mean, c'mon: favorite series, open two weeks, and only 11 icons?). I understand that life gets in the way (I haven't had time to icon at all for who knows how long), but... I feel kind of like I'm fighting against the current here, especially considering that I have no clue where everyone else is.
So do me a favor and get another icon or two in before tomorrow morning~

Whew we're getting ever closer to week 100. Let's make this a good week~! Because of its lateness and the fact that those of us in the States are having Thanksgiving coming up, you'll be getting some extra time~ Let's get a lot of icons!
HUSH THEME: [Favorite Series] You think your favorite series doesn't get enough icons made for it? You think your favorite series could stand to have a few more icons on top of the multitude there already is? You love it, so icon it!

Sorry for the delay! My brain shut down around 9:00 yesterday and then I had to take care of some modly RP duties. Thanks for the two last minute icons for hush! This gives us enough for regular voting for hush~~~ Although lyrical has to be condensed, you were really close! Let's do well again for week 81!! Also, I would have had this up much earlier but imageshack was hating on me, and then I had dance class 8D
Also, if no theme is up by tomorrow, I'll have one up for you :D
Rules:
[]Due to the fact that I can't make polls, leave your votes in the comments. I've provided voting templates for you :D
[]The hush voting will be the regular set up, and lyrical will be first/second/third due to lack of entries.
[]Don't vote for yourself and don't get others to vote for you.
[]You may vote for an icon twice in two categories but only twice. (Doesn't count in the condensed voting.)
[]Have your votes in by Tuesday, October 27th @ 10pm EST.
( Shh... )
( Sing! )
Again, a new theme will be up by tomorrow; if not my someone else, then I'll have one for you. Remember, you have until Tuesday, October 27th to get your votes in =D
