Votes needed [25 Jun 2008|12:11am] hermionesparkle I've only had 2 votes so far. Please vote! I'd like to end this by Friday at the latest. Challenge #4 Voting. COMMENTS

Round #7 - Challenge #4 - Voting [19 Jun 2008|06:55pm] hermionesparkle [ mood | bouncy ] I about did a happy dance just now when everyone got their entries in early so I could put up voting. I find it funny how everyone managed to pick the same image when I provided 4, haha. Anywho, I hope to end voting on Sunday so pretty please vote, it decides the final 3!! Voting rules: 1. Vote for 1 icon that you feel are the worst of the bunch. You must give a reason as to why you are voting the icon off. "It stinks" or "I hate.." are not allowed! 2. Please also vote for your favorite icon of the batch. You may use personal opinions with this one such "I love the coloring". 3. Don't vote for yourself or get others to vote for you. It's tacky just liked rolled up jeans. 4. Anyone can vote so you don't have to be a member of the community to do so. Example of voting: 120. The texture really takes away from the focus of the icon. Favorite: 04. Beautifully cropped. ( challenge #4 voting ) COMMENTS

Round #7 - Challenge #4 [13 Jun 2008|05:21pm] hermionesparkle [ mood | anxious ] I thought I'd do a Mary-Kate vs. Ashley type challenge since today is their birthday! Here's how it goes down: Icons are due Friday, June 20th at 4PM EST. If you don't know how to tell what your timezone is, I suggest you go to timeanddate.com and find out so you don't miss it. I usually wait about an half hour or so after the icon is due so any last minute people can submit. I often leave LIMS icons at the last minute so I know how it is. -You may only participate if you see your name listed below. -Follow the LJ standards (not over 40k, 100x100 pixels). It may be animated. You may blend images. -Only 1 icon may be submitted but if you decide you hate the one you already submitted you can submit again with that new icon before voting goes up. -If you need to use your skip, let me know. -Entries must be entered by commenting on this post with both the image and the image URL. If you have a question, make a separate comment than your entry. Need to get their icon in: yay everyone is in! Have them in: evening_road jane948 lilly_lametta overcrowded COMMENTS

One vote?! [12 Jun 2008|01:55pm] hermionesparkle [ mood | discontent ] I have had one person vote so far in the voting. Just one! I can't close the voting without at least 4 people voting (I try to keep it fair that way) so please take some time and go vote here. I hate to think that the community is this dead. :( COMMENTS

Extend challenge #3 [29 May 2008|05:40pm] hermionesparkle Hi all. I extended challenge #3 because I know school is ending for some of you and it's getting nicer out so people aren't on the computers as much. I am about to send you all reminders. It also got extended because nobody had their icon in yet and the challenge was going to close tomorrow. So please enter challenge #3 if your name is on the list. Your icon is now due next friday, June 6th. Can you believe it's going to be June already? Wow. COMMENTS

Round #7 - Challenge #2 - Results [24 May 2008|11:20pm] hermionesparkle [ mood | aggravated ] Ok voting has been up for over a month and I finally got 6 people to vote.

Round #7 - Challenge #2 - extended [01 Mar 2008|06:48pm] hermionesparkle Hi all. I extended the challenge until Tuesday March 18th due to the fact that I moved this week and forgot yesterday. So, I'll be nice and extend it. There isn't to many left and we are only on the 2nd challenge (!) and I'd hate to cut 3 people out. After this week though I should be more on schedule about posting reminders and getting the challenges/voting up on time so hopefully no more extensions. Believe me, it drives me crazy when other communities extend challenges and have delays so I hate to do it with my own. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. 2 COMMENTS

Round #7 - Challenge #2 [22 Feb 2008|06:07pm] hermionesparkle I haven't really tried using candid photos of them so that's why I chose more than one image for this challenge.
