That's right - it's time for another one of our movie-specific themes! In 2002, George Lucas released the second installment in his Prequel Trilogy, Attack of the Clones, and while it wasn't exactly the favourite of many Star Wars fans (if I had a dollar for every time I've heard someone complain about the dialogue, I'd be as rich as Papa George ( Read more... )

After an extra-special-amazing 100th challenge, we're now back to regularly-scheduled programming here on the community. I have to say I'm kind of glad, because even though I enjoyed Challenge #100 immensely, it was also exhausting for me as a mod to run! The sheer number of icons submitted meant I worked a lot harder than usual, and while I loved ( Read more... )

Well. Here we are, huh? Our one hundredth theme!!!! I took over this community in December 2007 - just before New Year's, if I recall correctly - and at that point there had been twelve challenges, all of which had experienced varying degrees of success. The comm had been inactive for at least a couple months, if not longer, and I'll definitely ( Read more... )

Posting the new challenge tonight instead of winners for a couple reasons: 1) It's late and I need to go to bed soon, but I really don't want to knock us off our schedule. 2) I need to also make banners for you guys for Challenge #98, and I don't wish them to be so delayed as they were last time. That's not fair to you folks, and I felt badly about ( Read more... )

We're inching closer to the hundredth challenge! I anticipate this being our last OT challenge before the big 1-0-0, as our 99th will be devoted to The Phantom Menace, and then we'll be doing something extra-special for #100. (What, I have not yet decided. But I will!) For this one, I'm bringing back another popular theme, the provided bases ( Read more... )

Our last single screencap was back in August - almost two months to the day - and since I like to bring these popular themes back every once in awhile, I thought it would be nice to trot it out this week. Now, what's not so nice is the movie from whence the screencap comes. While Revenge of the Sith is possibly my favourite of the SW films, in my ( Read more... )

Those of you who are friended with me outside this community will also know that, for the past few days, I have been on the most incredible Han/Leia kick. This is mainly motivated by me reading Tatooine Ghost for the very first time - I generally tend to avoid the EU, if truth be told, but I needed to read TG for my longfic project, and it's made ( Read more... )

Our 95th challenge ... wow. I'll save most of my proselytizing for when we hit the big 1-0-0, but - wow. Every time I post a new theme lately I have to double-check and make sure that we actually are in the 90s, because I can hardly believe it. Crazy stuff.

Anyway! A little while back, circa Challenge #79, we held a header competition. I gave you ( Read more... )

Let's pretend this was posted yesterday, shall we? ;) It would have been, except for the fact that I spent most of my morning and afternoon yesterday fighting with the stupid network at my job, and by the time I arrived home last night I thought that if I ever saw another computer again it'd be too soon. It was all I could do to get voting up, heh ( Read more... )

I feel like I've really been shortchanging those folks in the community who love the Original Trilogy of late - our last few themes have been departures from the usual PT-OT-PT-OT schedule we follow around here. Not the only way our sked has been totally shot to hell, mind you. ;) Although I'm a Prequel girl myself, I felt bad, and so I decided to ( Read more... )
