::RULES::

+ You must be signed up for Round 10 to participate.

Your first 10 icons will illustrate the following themes:

::Themes::
1. NEEDS -- Lyric Challenge. Your icon has to feature lyrics from the song HOT MESS by COBRA STARSHIP. At least 3 words of easily read text. It cracks me up. I have no other explanation for this. haha.

2. GETTING CLOSER -- Close-up cropped icon.

3. STOP-LOSS -- Your icon should have either the word "STOP" or "LOSS".

4. THAT OLD GANG OF MINE -- More than two people should be present in the icon. If you are doing a pairing, you'd just need to add a third person.

5. GROUND STATE -- The action or focus should be near the BOTTOM of the icon.
Example:
by linny90120

6. ECHO -- Duplicate an image in your icon. You can even make one of those icons with four squares.
Example:
by me.

7. DEAR BOY -- Don't let the name fool you. Female/Female pairings are just as welcome as Male/Female and Male/Male. Choose a pairing from your show/episode, or a pairing featuring your chosen character(s). For those who chose a pairing, this is as simple as making whatever icon you like. ;)

8. SHADOW -- Black & White icon. All black, white and gray.

9. THE ATTIC -- The action or focus should be near the TOP of the icon.
Example:
by marshmallow

10. THE THIN DEAD LINE -- Your icon should feature this texture in some way. Texture is by heyhaner.

Your next 5 icons will fit into the following category:

::Category::
"Who Are You?"
The icons for this category should either be cropped so that most of the face isn't visible or be from behind. However you want to mostly obscure the faces works. ;)
