Mod Post - Round 21 update (and a question)

Jul 18, 2016 11:07

Hey, all

Real life kind of usurped everything the last month or so -- but we're working on getting the results for Round 21 put together. And Round 22 will follow at some point, ASAP (again.. real life taxed us all a bit)

In the meantime... out of sheer curiosity on my part -- would you have any interest in having some shorter, single-topic ( Read more... )

!modpost, -polling the community, round 21

I'm down; I'm also down for helping.
Giving you ideas for topics, etc.

Woot!

yeah, why not? I like the 20in20, but sometimes, it's quite difficult to find appropriate pictures for all the themes. But five pics are easier to find, especially when you just have a general theme. Count me in, definitely!

Excellent! I'm glad that it was a good idea (for once) -- it might not work as intended.. but anything to keep us active!

I would also enter for those kind of Challenges.

20 icons are often too much for me. That was the reason why I failed to enter so far.

But 4 to 5 icons are okay for me. :o)

Excellent! I hear that -- if it was just make 20 icons, I could do that pretty easy.. once prompts are involved, my brain locks up. :\

I'm concentrating on other things, so 20 is too much for me these days. In that respect, smaller challenges would be nice.

Also, the whole idea about character_draw is often really intimidating for me, because it's tough to make 20 icons of a character I didn't choose myself.

All of that would be easier if there were fewer icons required.

Feel free to ignore my input though, since I'm participating so rarely in the first place.

Hey, input is input and I'm glad for it! ♥

(I inherited the community by default and want to keep it going, but I have no real skill at running an icontest/20in20... so I'm winging it. :))

Hee. I'm happy to hear that you want to keep it going, even if it's not "your baby". Usually, communities die after they've been handed over.

You're doing a good job!

I think the most important thing to remember about character_draw is that there needs to be some random element involved. This should apply to every challenge - no matter if it's 5 or 20 icons.

So if you set a "Western" theme, either let people choose five characters from a western movie, or let them choose 5 movies, and then randomize their choices. Or something.

Or maybe just give everyone the same list you create, and everyone gets one random assignment from that list. I can think of a lot of possibilities to make this work while staying within the unique aspect of character_draw.
