As of right now, we have nine entries for Week 209, but I will still extend it through this Friday. :) Those of you who have already submitted icons, if you want to make another (for a maximum of four icons), you may!

( And the winners are... )

Regarding banners... now that umi_pryde has some time to help out, I don't know if you and burningwhisper want to trade/claim weeks or whatever... anything works for me; I'm just really glad to have the help! :D

Ack, late again... last week's winners will be posted momentarily; I just wanted to get this up first:

Week 209 - Favorite Characters

Since there's so little time, a fairly open challenge. XD There are two guidelines: 1) each icon can have only one character in it (background people are fine), and 2) you cannot icon the same character more than once. Obviously, I will not be checking to see if these are really your favorites, so you can really just icon whoever. XD

= Submit your entries in a screened comment to this post, including the [IMG SRC] and [URL] of the icon(s).

Entries are due Friday, July 10th (we'll try for that, at least).

Current entries: 9

Happy 4th, to those in the US! Happy weekend to the rest of you (unless you work in retail, perhaps?)! XD

( We are family... for better or worse )

We have four entries for Week 208 now, and you have until this Friday night to get your icons in! Remember that you can icon anyone from the list in the challenge post.

We have three entries for Week 208, so it will be extended for another week. To make it a little easier for people, you may now choose to just icon ONE of the family members if you choose - however, you can only use people on the list included in the challenge post. That said, if you feel like I left out someone(s) really obvious, please let me know and I will probably add them in. ;)

Entries for Week 208 are now due by Friday, July 3rd!

We have one entry for Week 208 so far, which... is a good start! XD You have until Friday night to get your icons in!

Week 208 - Families

Well, it was just Father's Day... For this challenge, you must icon people who are related, whether by blood or by marriage (whether the marriage still exists doesn't matter), so yes, there should be more than one person in your icon. You do not have to follow the canon of whatever media you're using (eg. a movieverse icon of Scott and Jean is fine, even though they weren't married in the movies).

Some X-families, to give you some ideas of who you can icon:

+ Christopher, Scott, Alex, and Gabriel Summers, Jean Grey, Rachel Grey, Cable, Nate Grey, Hepzibah
+ Erik Lehnsherr, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff
+ Piotr and Illyana Rasputin
+ Kurt and TJ Wagner, Rogue, Raven Darkholme
+ Jean-Paul and Jeanne-Marie Beaubier
+ Shiro and Leyu Yoshida, Kenuichio Harada
+ the Stepford sisters
+ Sam, Paige, Jay, Melody, etc. Guthrie
+ Sarah and Jessica Vale
+ Jamie, Betsy and Brian Braddock
+ Andrea and Andreas von Strucker
+ Sean Cassidy, Black Tom Cassidy, Theresa Rourke Cassidy
+ Monet, Nicolette, Claudette St. Croix, Emplate, Penance

You guys are awesome!

( Yay, a poll! XD )

We still have five entries for Week 207 and even a few more icons would be greatly appreciated! You have until Friday night to get your icons in.

Because I missed the Friday poll date, and more because it'd be lovely to not have to skip two weeks in a row, I am going to extend Week 207 until next Friday, June 19th. Please get your icons in!

Here to stimulate your creativity, are some random snippets from the lyrics that could possibly make good text for some picture somewhere(!):

wander your own land
remember my name
stay in the game
into beautiful light
you will disappear
i don't know
but everybody's changing
i don't feel the same
try to understand
the pain in your eyes
and i can see
stay awake and remember
when i think

As we only got three entries for week 206 we're cancelling it and moving on. Thanks for those who entered though, they were great icons!

Week 207 - Song - 'Everybody's Changing' by Keane

( Lyrics below )

You need to have at least three consecutive words legible within your icon for it to qualify for this challenge. If you have any questions or queries about it, let me know in a comment here in this post.

We only have three entries for the week 205 challenge so I'm extending it by a week. Also the fact that I was so busy over the weekend I didn't have the chance to put up a poll.

The challenge is Villains. I know you all have a favourite villain! Go icon them!

( Congratulations! )

There are no entries yet in the current challenge, so pop on over and make sure you get them in by Friday!

Little ones today! Hope they're all right.

Week 206 // Characters - Villains.

Everyone loves a good adversary. Or a bad one, perhaps. Any character who is now bad, once was evil, or is prophesied to be extremely naughty in the future is fair game. You may use characters from any medium, film, cartoon or comic, and they can be as evil or as inconvenient as you so choose.

Any questions or clarifications, leave them here!
