Round 22 - an auspicious start! Rules & Info
Hello, everyone! I'm thrilled to hear people are in for the next rounds of the comm; I'm sorry it took me a few episodes into the season to get running, but I promise to be a better mod going forward! Also, I missed you guys - welcome back! I'm cranking up the themes wheels, and have a few ideas I'm working on this season I hope you will enjoy!
Rules and themes for Round 22 are posted below - I figure icons will be due on 20 October, which does kind of give you an extra day, but honestly? I was too excited to wait to make the numbers all nice. Please post a warning if there are spoilers, although it sounded from comments like we are all caught up.
I hear I shamefully have some R21 cleanup to do, so I will get started on that as well.
Rules
% Icons must be new for the challenge and meet LJ standards of 40kb and 100x100. - Except in the two themes below which are not supposed to be this size!
% Submit entries to the community as a new entry. Remember, you must be a member in order to do this. Not a member yet? No problem - ask to sign up! If you are posting your full set directly to the community, please use an lj-cut. If you post to your own journal/community, you will need to post a link back here at the community. You must include 3 teaser icons in your post here. All entries must remain public until voting ends.
% Put your username - round # in the subject line of your entry.
% You can use the table provided; if you’d rather make your own, that’s OK, but please make sure you post icons in the same order with the theme titles. Thanks! It’s also fine to change the colors or fonts or things on the provided table.
% Animated icons are allowed for this challenge, however the limit is 2 per person this time.
% Anything that appears in the screencaps you have chosen for your episode is OK to use; this question came up before because in some later episodes, there are flashback scenes. Using those or the “titles” sequence that plays before all episodes is okay.
FYI, as a mod, I am usually pretty flexible within the bounds of the rules - I really like creativity! So if you’re not sure about an icon, please feel free to PM me to check it out before you submit. Or, if I see something I don’t think fits, I will post a question to your submission and may ask you to revise it.
% Icons are due by 20 October, 2014. All entries must be submitted to the community by the end of the day (11:59pm in your time zone). I think my handling of extensions has been unclear in the past - if you need an extension, please ask for one as soon as possible. If I decide to grant an extension, I will make a post before 12:00pm EST (New York time zone) on the due date of the challenge.
% Please try to look at the other posts and leave a constructive comment! Feedback is really nice to get.
