Twilight // Community Promotion
twiconathon is a community celebrating a new, more flexible, version of the very popular LIMS. Don't like worrying about having to submit an icon when you have real life to attend to? Tired of getting kicked out just because you had one bad icon round? Sick of not being recognized for your participation? And fed up that everytime you go to sign up for a LIMS you've missed the deadline?
Here's how twiconathon works:
» It's based on cumulative points. This means you can pick what challenges to enter, when to vote, etc. and still have a chance of winning. You can have a bad icon round and still recover. You don't have to worry about whether you can skip, etc. As long as you keep track of your points, you can figure out how to play the game.
» You can sign up at any time during the challenge. Because it is based on cumulative points, you may enter any time during the competition. Obviously, the sooner you join in, the sooner you can start earning points. But there will be three (3) bonus rounds given out sporadically during the challenges to help people earn any much-needed points.
» Loyalty and commitment are not overlooked. You don't need to place every round to win the challenge. As fully laid out in the community's userinfo, twiconathon awards points for participation, voting, and spreading the challenge love.
» Spread the love, not the gloom. Let's be honest--it sucks to be eliminated. And it truly doesn't help when you see how many people voted negatively for your work and write comments on why it's crappy. Here at this community, we celebrate the favourites and forgive the less than stellar. Tanslation: Only positive votes allowed.
Challenge Three is underway!
There is an overall theme to challenge three, which is Twilight Fan Art. This means that every icon you make must feature some kind of Twilight fanart. But not just any fanart - fanart created by specific artists. The mod and creator of twiconathon spent quite awhile getting permission from Twilight artists to use their work for this challenge, and has compiled a list of all the approved sources here. What this means is, some rounds may require the use of a specific artist's work (like in round one), while in others, you will be allowed to choose which artist's work (from that list) to use, yourself. Either way, it's all about the art!
If this sounds like something you'd like to participate in, then join, sign up, and tell the mod that I referred you!
