So, I've been gone for over a year and I'm sorry about that! Especially as I didn't even leave a note about. Then again, I didn't plan to be absent for quite so long.
What happened? Well, things happened at work that got to me quite a bit. It lead to me deciding to look for a new job and at the end of September I had secured a new job (to start in December) and quit my old one. However, the two months I had left at my old job were spent flat hunting since my new job was in a different city (and as it was my commute had increased by at least 1 hour per direction). By the time I finally moved early this year, I was completely wiped out and had pretty much forgotten about Livejournal. Especially since I didn't open Photoshop even once during that time.
I closed the last round up. As for the outstanding banners, I'm not sure if I'll get around to those (or if even someone is still interested after over a year).
I won't revive this community as I'm not sure I can (or want to) keep up with it, especially as my own inspiration in regards to icons is pretty much dead. I think I should have done this last year when I first started straggling, but after spending so much time on it - times I quite enjoyed - I just wasn't ready to see it die or to hand my baby over to someone else. Needless to say, this past year has given me the distance I needed to say:
If anyone wants to continue
season20in20, I'll gladly hand it over.
