Challenge #72 will end this weekend, so get those entries in asap. I want to see some crack pairings, people! And lots of pretty icons of those Train heist screencaps. Who doesn't love trilling heroics?

Submit your icons here by Sunday, October 7, 9pm EST.

Current Entry Tally:
Screencap: 27
Theme: 20

I seem to have forgotten to give you all a midweek reminder, for which I apologize. We've had three people submit icons for this challenge. Only three. And I thought the theme challenge might inspire you guys.

If you would like more time to make your icons, let me know and I'll probably extend the challenge for a while more. But please, try and participate. Even an icon or two helps.

Challenge 72: What's going on? Crime! / Wacky Fun

 This is your final reminder to get your challenge 71 entries in by sunday around midnight. We currently have 12 screencap entries and 7 theme entries! The challenge is here.

 This is a reminder to get your icons for challenge 71 in here - we have very few entries right now so please enter!

This is your reminder to enter Challenge 70 - Shout/Feeling Truthsome. The challenge will be open through Sunday night, so you have two days to get in on it still. Looking forward to seeing your icons. :)

The voting for challenge 69 is going to be up in about twelve hours time, so if there's any last minute entries creeping about, now would be good.

This is your mid-week reminder about challenge 69. So far we've received a whopping ZERO entries, so, y'know, if anyone thought they may want to participate, that could be nice.

You have until Sunday.

I'm sorry, guys. I've been so busy lately with work (and also, shocking!, reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) I forgot to give you all a mid-week reminder or actually post the voting. Since we could use a few more entries (especially in the Theme challenge... no love for our most beloved ship, people?), I'm going to leave the challenge open until next Saturday, July 28, at 8pm CST. You have almost another week to make some pretty icons or add to the ones you've already submitted.

Current Entry Tally:
Screencap: 16
Theme: 5

Sorry this isn't quite a mid-week reminder, but I remind you all to get your icons in for saturday- voting will probably go up sometime then. We have 9 entries in the screencap challenge and 11 in theme and we need many more!! enter your icons here.

This is your last day reminder to enter Challenge 66 - Kidnapped / Textured 'Verse. The challenge will close tomorrow (Monday) night. The posted ending time is 11pm EST but I probably will not get to it till later because I'm going to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix two days before it opens, bwhaha! *cough*

Now for a community update. If you recall a little while back dark asked for your opinions on a new format for placing. Our goal was to provide more members opportunity to be awarded. A very large majority of you were in favor of the idea, so starting with the current Challenge 66 we are going to implement the new system.

Within one challenge any single icon maker can only occupy one out of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. The BC award is unchanged, it can still be awarded to an icon maker who placed already. In addition, a single icon maker can still place in both a Screencap and Theme Challenge. For example, if some amazing icon maker somehow was voted to occupy every single award in both Screencap and Theme, they would be placed 1st and BC in Screencap and 1st and BC in Theme, and the runners up would be given the 2nd and 3rd places.

I understand that's a tad confusing, and my apologies to anyone who isn't in favor, but we believe this will prove to be a fair way of allowing more members to receive awards. In my experience this has always been an exceptionally friendly and easy-going community, and we encourage our members to continue that tradition as we try this out! :)

If you have any questions at all feel free to comment to this post and we will do our best to clarify. Don't forget to enter Challenge 66!

This is your mid-week-ish reminder to get your entries in for Challenge 64 (A Ladies Man, our Captain/Range of Emotion) by Sunday night, 8PM-ish EST.

For the first one, you have to have Mal and at least one woman in your icon. The goal of the second is to icon a set of icons of different emotions portrayed by a character (like, you know, Mal happy and Mal sad, though Mal is notoriously difficult to find happy for any reason... *pets her broody captain*).

We could use some more entries, guys, so get those creative juices running. :)

Current Entry Tally:
Screencap: 13
Theme: 8 sets

So if you havn't noticed  voting for challenge 63 has gone on a little long this is because we have quite a few three way ties and need some more votes to break them. So, please stop and vote here I know it's hard- but it must be done!

This is your mid week reminder to get your icons in here for challenge 62 you have until sunday June 3rd around 11 pm EST

This is your late week reminder to check out Challenge 62 (Saffron's Plan / "See you in the world").

For the Screencap challenge we've got some fun caps from "Trash". For the theme we're challenging you to icon any scene on a planet, which is pretty wide open but composition is key! There's currently only 9 entries for Screencap and 6 for the Theme, so we really need some more entries! You have until Sunday, May 27 around 11pm EST.
