Kakashi Stills
Kakashi Icon Challenge

Location:

Westerville, Ohio, United States

About:

This is an icon challenge community for Hatake Kakashi from the anime and manga series: Naruto. What perhaps sets this community apapert from the others is that the icons must be still-framed, without any animation what-so-ever.

Also, this is an open challenge. Anyone is welcome to join - whether you are fans of Kakashi or have no clue who he is. There are no particular standards to meet, so if you're just a novice testing out your abilities or a veteran honing your long developed skills, just grab a seat and enjoy the ride.

This community was founded by

anime_rapture, and was initially moderated by the founder and

andhera. This community had also entered an undefined hiatus, and I finally though of giving it another try - I being Andhera. So for all practical purposes, your moderator for the journey is

andhera, who can be reached most easily at her e-mail ~~for she is an e-mail whore and checks it religiously every hour unless she is asleep or out taking over the world~~. I am also frequently found lurking on AIM at the oh-so-unique ID AndheraChama, so feel free to poke me and say Hi.

The Schedule:

Saturday	New theme
Friday	Contest submissions closed for the week. Voting posted
Next Saturday	New Theme
Sunday	Voting closes; Results

Ahahaha, now for everyone's favorite part: Rules.

For Submissions:
1. Ensure that Kakashi is somewhere on the icon. You must have some part of Kakashi, for otherwise the purpose is ruined, is it not? However, this doesn't mean that his face</b> must be displayed. Any part of his anatomy from the tip of his hair to his toes can be shown, as long as it is Kakashi. Keep a copy of the picture in-case you need to prove it, though I'm not fussy.
2. That being said, make sure that the anatomy you choose to display is within the Terms of LiveJournal. No pornograhic images please. Tasteful dirty humour is okay; but if it etched a deep scar upon minors or innocent people, they will be a force to be reckoned with.
3. No animation. This is Kakashi Stills. Please keep everything on the icon non-moving.
4. Double check that your icon complys with LJ standards - that is 100x100 pixels and 40 KB. ~~Okay, if it is a really sexy icon and it's 40.1KB submit it and I'll turn a blind eye based on my judgement.~~
5. Use Anime and Manga pictures. You needn't disclaim those for we know better. However, if you decide to use a doujinshi image, please credit the doujinshi. ~~And if it is an electronic version share it with us, yo! =D~~
6. That being said, to use fanart that is not your own, you need the permission of the artist and a link back to their work or main website. Their hard work deserves credit, as with everything else.
7. Textures and texts are best creditted. I am not skilled enough to say "Oh dear, that entry used XYZ's textures and didn't credit them. =0", therefore must rely on your sincerity. Also, by creditting your resources, you are sharing them with everyone. Everyone's happy.

Submission format:
Submit your icon like so in the screened post.

If you do not know how to do this, shoot me and e-mail and I'll give you the codes.

Now that you have submitted, Keep in mind a few tings:
1. Do not advertise you icon till the voting is over and the results are up. That is cheating and unfair to the rest of the entrants.
2. Consequently, it is not a good idea to host your icon on you user pics. That is considered advertising. Try Photobucket; it is a nice place to host your images, and it gives you the image source code automatically. Hassle free!

Voting:
1. Vote honestly. Whichever is the best should get the best vote. Fair, right?
2. Voting for yourself isn't prohibitted (unless otherwise stated) but do so only if you firmly believe that yours is the best.

Voting Format:
Submit your votes using eitehr the following two formats, or a clear and consise alternative method. Any tabulating errors based on vague voting will not be corrected.

First: #1
Second: #2
Third: #3

OR

#1, #2, #3
