The Dresden Dolls Icon Challenge's Journal [entries|friends|calendar] The Dresden Dolls Icon Challenge [ userinfo | livejournal userinfo ] [ calendar | livejournal calendar ]

[14 Aug 2007|11:46am] ladybug1219 This community has...obviously...been dead for quite a while now. You may have see this poll over at dresdendolls, I'm thinking about starting up a Dresden Dolls LIMS community. So I come here asking how many of you would be interested in participating. Poll #1039069 LIMS community? Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: None, participants: 8 Would you be interested/participate in a Dresden Dolls Last Icon Maker Standing community? Yes 6 (75.0%) No 0 (0.0%) Possibly 2 (25.0%) I've never heard of/participated in a LIMS competition. 1 (12.5%) This is a dumb idea. 0 (0.0%) I would join. 3 (37.5%) What is a LIMS? [X] LIMS stands for Last Icon Maker Standing, each week you will be givin a challenge, the members will vote for their least favorite icon untill there are 3 left. At this point the members will vote for their favorite icon and we will then have our round winner. [X] Challenge 1 will be open to everyone, at this point you will sign up before you enter and this will ensure your spot in the round untill you are either eliminated or the last icon maker standing. The results of the other poll were 3 yes, 9 no, and 6 possibly. More negative votes than obvious positive votes so I am coming here. I would really like to start up another dolls icontest community, so let me know what you guys think! 4 comments|post comment

This is long overdue... [16 Jan 2006|08:22pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | accomplished ] [ music | eight days a week-the beatles ] Finally I have the voting for the last Challenge! Since you could enter as many icons as you would like, the voting is going to be set up a little different. Each picture from the contest is going to have a winner,or two, instead of there being a first, second, and third for the entire thing. Sorry if that doesn't make sense. Anyways..( Vote!! ) post comment

[02 Jan 2006|10:30pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | hopeful ] [ music | come together-the beatles ] dresdendolls_ic is back! I know I have been a horrible mod and completely ignored this community for a month. I did have my reasons though. Mainly, I received a promotion at work so I went from working maybe twenty hours a week to forty. Plus, I work in retail and it's the holiday season. I was a bit tired and stressed to say the least. Now the holiday season has come to an end and I will have a lot more time to devote to this community. This week I will be catching the community up with the last two challenges. I know I have results to post from one and voting for another. The new challenge will be up by this weekend. I will also announce the results from the first round of the point system. It will of course start over from this. Again I am really sorry for neglecting the community for so long and will make up for it. Leave a comment if you have any questions, comments, or complaints. Thanks, Steph post comment

Contest Update and mods [12 Nov 2005|11:00pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | worried ] [ music | Drowning-AK1200 ] There are only two entries in for this week. As lovely as the entries are, I am going to keep the contest open for a few more days to get more entries in. I will probably only leave it up for one or two more days. Also, I have a lot going at work right now, which is why the updating has beens so crazy lately. I'm thinking of getting a new mod to help around here. ladybug1219 and I have lots of fun stress adding up so it would be nice to have some more help . If you're interested leave a comment, but please only leave a comment if you really want to help run this community and make it better. Thanks, Stephanie 6 comments|post comment

Points [07 Nov 2005|10:55pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | productive ] [ music | ask for answers-placebo ] The Points Post has been updated. I updated the points and the prizes. After voting for Contest Six, the winners will be announced and the points will be wiped. I decided to start the points over after every two months to make it fair, but let me know if you have a problem with that. All prizes will be given out a few days before or after November 18th because that is my next pay day. Sorry for the wait, but I don't have enough in my account right now to buy the prizes and still get gas and other things I need. Remember that voting has started and Contest Seven has been posted. post comment

Vote [07 Nov 2005|10:13pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | busy ] [ music | you don't care about us-placebo ] Just to warn some of you, an icon in Challenge Two has some nudity. Nothing major but I don't want anyone to get upset that all of sudden there were breasts. So don't look if it will offend you. ( Vote ) The next challenges have been posted. post comment

New Challenges [07 Nov 2005|09:21pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | content ] [ music | emotion sickness-silverchair ] I feel the need to remind the community of a few things. Nothing has really become a problem yet but I want to say soemthing before it does. •Do not take an icon from this challenge without asking the maker first. You probably want to credit them also. •Do not vote for yourself. •Challenge two cannot have pictures of the Dresden Dolls. If you use the lyrics on a Dresden Dolls icon, it's automatically becoming part of Challenge One and Challenge One only. I hope that didn't sound too bitchy. I only put it in bold to make sure people saw it. Also this week you can enter more than one icon. You can enter ten million icons if you like, just follow the rest of the rules. Challenge One •You can only use the Pictures provided for you! You can do whatever you like to them but only use these pictures. •Post your icon and the icon's url in the comments of this post. Check here if you don't remember how. •You can enter more than one icon this week. Follow all the Rules ( Challenge One ) Challenge Two Challenge Two Rules: •Must have part of the lyrics we provide for you on the icon •We have provided you with three pictures to use, but you may use any picture you would like. I mean any. It can be from another band, a movie, a picture of a tree. Just no Dresden Dolls. •Cannot be a picture of the Dolls! •Post your icon and the icon's url in the comments of this post. Check here if you don't remember how. •You can enter more than one icon this week. ( Challenge Two: Lyrics ) ( Challenge Two: Pictures ) 1 comment|post comment

Reminder [03 Nov 2005|06:02pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | okay ] [ music | straight to video-msi ] You still have two days to get in icons for the current contest. I would still like a few more entries in before Saturday especially since I extended the contest. There is an extra challenge this week and tons of pictures to work with, so get those icons in. Thanks, Steph post comment

[30 Oct 2005|10:48pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | calm ] I have decided to extend the current contest for another week. I am getting a lot of comments about people being busy and such, so I thought it would be better to give everyone more time. Plus I'm already late in posting a new contest. Hopefully we will get some more icons in. Thanks, Stephanie p.s. Happy Halloween! post comment

[29 Oct 2005|11:01am] dizzyskitzo [ mood | annoyed ] We still only have in two entries. If you can, please participate. I really don't want to extend this for another week, but there needs to at least be three entries for each challenge. So far we have two for the first challenge, one for the second, and two for the third. It would be wonderful to get more entries in. post comment

[28 Oct 2005|01:32pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | tired ] [ music | the fragile-nine inch nails ] Just wanted to remind you all that the contest ends tomorrow. We only have one entry in, and while it's lovely, it is still disapointing to only have one entry. It's especially I big let down after last week. So please get the icons in. You have until tomorrow, though I will go ahead and warn you that it may end Sunday because I am having a Halloween party tomorrow. Just please do your best to get some icons in. Thanks, Steph participate post comment

[23 Oct 2005|02:01pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | sleepy ] We are going to have three challenges this week. I couldn't decided on which set of pictures to use, so I decided to use both. Plus I feel bad because the pictures are smaller than usual. The third challenge is going to be just like the first, but with a different set of pictures and one other change. Make sure you read under where it says "Challenge Three" or you want know what it is. I like giving choices. You can enter an icon for each challenge though.

Voting Time! [23 Oct 2005|01:00pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | tired ] Ok, so yesterday I made the poll for voting, posted the poll for voting, and then Livejournal killed the post. I was running late for work so I couldn't get a new one out until now(I had to be at work at seven this morning). So I am very sorry about the delay. Good news is that we had six entries for the first challenge and five for the second. That makes me incredibly happy since that is the most icons we've had since we took over. If only every week could be like this..or better. Also I think contests will run from Saturday to Saturday now. Yes, I know I just changed it but Saturday's are a lot easier to get stuff posted. So go and vote and I will have the next contest up in a few minutes. ( Voting Closed ) post comment

[21 Oct 2005|08:54am] dizzyskitzo [ mood | hyper ] [ music | ladytron-venus in furs ] Why hullo lovely community! Do we know what today is? Why it is Friday which means this week's contest ends today. So you should all run and hurry up and get those icons in! We started off really well this week but then the icons just stopped coming in. I would love for us to have more than four entries in since I don't think that has happened since the first contest. I am off to work now but please participate!. You have about twelve hours to get your icons in. Thanks, Steph post comment

Mod Post [18 Oct 2005|02:45pm] dizzyskitzo [ mood | productive ] [ music | love will tear us apart-joy division ] First, I finally have the point system up! Go check it out and see where you rank. The post should explain anything you would need to know about the system, but let us know if you still have any questions. Also, I made a Welcome Post today. It may be the welcome post, but you should all check it out. It goes into more details with the rules than before and has some random new information. Plus it's good just to be reminded of things. Sorry if it killed your friends page earlier before lj cuts were added. Most importantly, remember to participate in this week's challenges! We have gotten off to a good start, but more icons are always needed. Thanks and let me know if you need anything! Steph post comment
