I what we should do is offer each three in every challenge post (this is becoming more common in more icontests). And then we'll wait and see how it works out. Hopefully we'll stay afloat this way. :3 Thank you so much to the few of you who have consistently participated in this community. levelx0

Extension [6/28/08 @ 12:23 am] dark_branwen [ mood | drained ] [ music | "Let the Flames Begin" by Paramore ] Since I was apparently too busy focusing on me this week (lol) and neglected to post a reminder, I'm extending the Mio Screencaps contest until Sunday night.  We've currently got 5 entries, and I would be a very happy panda if we could get some more.

Ayaka Icon Stealing and Summer Salon [6/27/08 @ 4:07 pm] dark_branwen [ mood | irritated ] [ music | "Let the Flames Begin" by Paramore ] I don't know how much good this will do, but I just thought it would be nice to warn other makers of Ayaka Komatsu icons of this problem.  Recently,  made_by_kalicontacted me about Summer Salon, an Ayaka fansite run by Sstriss.  Apparently, she had taken icons from me, Kali, "a french forum," and others that I can't identify and reposted their icons here.  If you see your icons here and have a no redistribute policy, I suggest you contact the administrator to resolve the issue. ETA: Shortened because it was pointed out to me that not everyone needs to hear my life story. xD Sorry about that guys.  Didn't even think of shortening the message since I'm so used to cross-posting. levelx0

Week 83 Results [6/27/08 @ 2:06 am] dark_branwen [ mood | cynical ] [ music | "Let the Flames Begin" by Paramore ] Here are results! ( for schoolgirl ami-chan )   And while I'm at it, please do not forget to submit to this week's Mio Screencap challenge.  We've only got 3 entries thus far.  I'll be happy to extend if we don't get a few more since I neglected to post a reminder though. levelx0

Sign-Up for Round 3 at sm_rumble! [6/22/08 @ 10:19 am] dark_branwen [ mood | chipper ] [ music | "Sin" by Nine Inch Nails ] Apologies for those of you who are going to stumble across this due to my insane cross-posting. Look at this way: the banner's pretty, and you can scroll through it fast. :D sm_rumble Sign-ups for the third round of sm_rumble have begun! Not familiar with the rumblin' concept? Here's how it works: Rather than voting off icons each week (like in a lims or battle community), everyone is allowed to participate until the end of the round. The winner of the rumble will be the icon maker who gets the most points at the end of the round! There will be a total of five rounds. For every round you enter, you receive a point regardless or whether or not you place. If you do place, you get 3 points for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, and one point for 3rd and the special category. Go to this post to sign up. Hope to rumble with some of you at the community! xD levelx0
