We're happy to announce ANOTHER new sister LIMS: rdanderson_lims. Please check out this cool new group focusing on Jack Richard Dean Anderson. I'm given to understand that there might exist some SG-1 fans whose enthusiasm might not extend to Macgyver or RDA in general -- who knew such a thing was even possible?!? -- so if any of our members are Jack-only fans, you should rest assured that cap selection each week will include some Jack.


Sign-Ups Open Thru Jan. 8 // Challenge 1 Caps *drool*

Go! Take a look! Drool over the caps! Sign-up! Help our community of like-minded LIMS thrive. The opportunity to spend hours staring at RDA in detail? That's puuuure bonus. ;)

The community is modeled on the same framework as this comm. I don't know if shadowserenity had any idea just how popular her format would be in fandom but I like to think of the blossoming of our sisterhood of LIMS as a credit to the much lamented lantis_lims. Please feel free to check out our blooming list of sister LIMS in the sidebar.

Withdrawing from the competition:

Eliminated due to non-participation:

We're very sorry to lose both of you. :( :( I hope that we'll continue voting and re-enlist for the next round.


VOTING

• You must vote for four icons: your two (2) least favorite (the entries you consider to be of lesser quality in technique) and your two (2) favorite (the entries you consider to be the best).
  
• You must provide a reason for ALL of your votes.
  
• Please remember that you are judging on technique shown in making an icon. Voting should never be based on your personal character, pairing, or team preferences. "Text is ugly" is not a constructive comment; "Text is too formal for an icon that is humorous," is.
  
• Whether an icon fits the week's cap theme is irrelevant and should not be used as a basis for voting.
  
• Only the votes complying with the above rules will be counted.
  
• If you have any questions at all about what qualifies as a constructive comment or any other topic, please don't hesitate to contact either beeej or me. You may private message me here on LJ at any time.

Thank you, beeej, for last night's reminder. Somehow the deadline was *next* week in my mind so I obviously needed that.

Just in case it slid by on anyone's list unnoticed, I wanted to make certain that everyone knew about tonight's deadline. I have everyone's entries/comments except for:

1. krabbypatty - 2 skips 1 skip
   
2. obaona - 2 skips 1 skip
   

Obviously, I do not want to lose anyone else. Hopefully, you're trying to choose amongst your amazing creations but in the event you are running late (or the deadline took you by surprise as it did me), please let me know. We still have about 2 hours until the deadline but if I know that you're working on an entry, I'm willing to delay posting briefly while you're working.

Happy New Year! And don't forget the deadline for Challenge 11 is in a little over 24 hours from now!

Banners for Challenge 10 for ohfreckle, magnavox_23, iulieki and shadowserenity ready.

Congratulations!

We have another new affiliate! The community is run by two of our members, twister_pants and coffee_nebula, and patterned just as our comm is on lantis_lims. Each week will have multiple images of the incomparable Amanda Tapping. What's not to love?


Sign-Ups Open Now / Challenge 1 due Jan 3, 2010

Welcome to Round 3, Challenge 11! You've got plenty of extra time for this challenge, as we're going on holiday hiatus for a couple of weeks. :D

The Details:
. You must use the caps supplied. You may use only the caps supplied.
. You may submit only one icon for this challenge.
. If you decide to change your entry, simply delete your existing reply and post your new submission.
. Please don't post or use your icon anywhere until the challenge is over. Doing so will result in your disqualification.
. Use of textures, brushes, blending, and animation is permitted. All text brushes are banned.
. Check the user info for a how-to on submitting.
. Please comment below if you would like to use your skip. If, by the time the challenge has closed and you have not submitted your entry, we will use your skip to take you into the next challenge.

The members of SG1 aren't quite themselves for this challenge. The caps folder is located here. If you have any problems with Photobucket, please let us know.

Entries are due on Tuesday, January 5th, 8 p.m. Central Time.. A time zone converter can be found here if you need it.

Any questions? Feel free to ask :). And if you're celebrating the season, we hope you have a wonderful time!

Did you create a few icons for the challenge and then choose the best one to submit? Did you make icons from the caps though you did not participate in the last challenge?

If so, this is where you can post those "rejected" icons (along with your submitted entry) and make them sharable to others.

Banner maker this week is nickygabriel.
