And I have been remiss:
Belated congratulations to the winners of btvsats20in20 Round 10, slayerstillness Challenge 48! And awoefully belated THANK YOU to everyone who voted for my icons in both contests.
Banners will be forthcoming shortly for the winners of 20in20: killing_kurare, snogged, spikesredqueen, sweet_lyri, tempertemper, and teragramm, with further apologies for the delay.
Teasers:
[Here be icons.....]
I didn't seem to realize until after I jumped in the task that this round consisted of 2 sets of 20, ergo 40 awards to be given out. And this just happens to be the round where everyone actually, finally, requested banners. (I could never understand why in previous rounds one, maybe two people would request banners. It's comforting to know I'm not the only banner hussy in the neighborhood anymore.)
So how did I do this round? Better than I'd realized! Two winning theme icon:Power (Tara), and Last Scene (Lorne); and six character icons: Faith, Joyce, Oz, Anya, Kendra, and Lorne. Kudos as always go to velvetwhip for being an incredible, indispensible Muse. There are times when I resist her advice or think, "But I like this one better..." and realize after the fact that no, she was right the first time, and if I've got half a brain I'll pay attention.
1 - 5
6 -7
My favorites of my set that didn't win this time? Probably Willow, Angel, Cordy, Giles and Drusilla. If Lorne has been my lucky charm this past month, Drusilla has been my newest obsession. Speaking of Dru.....
While I've been delayed with the Round 10 banners, the banners for Challenge 48 proved a bit easier to do. Congratulations to sweet_lyri, teragramm and debris4spike, who has returned after an extended absence and has been missed; and thank you to everyone who voted my Anya and Drusilla icons second place and most creative!
feliciacraft mentioned to me the other day the dearth of pretty Anya icons, so I hope she finds this one to her liking:

8 -12
The Anya icon was probably the simplest icon of this set - the image was already so pretty it was just a matter of gilding the lily. The Dru icon was inspired by a conversation I had with double_dutchess the other day about how the star texture by whitebamboo in one of my IWRY alts for the last SS challenge looked like a "crown of thorns". The main image in the banners is a photo I took the other day; bright orange liliies seem very "summery" to me, and I thought that the colors would go nicely with the winning icons. Artwork by yours truly.
