But this community needs a little rejuvenation. So I'm hard at work making a new set of guidelines and working out a new layout for the community. BUT I'M HTML ILLITERATE!!! And LJ's new style systems bothers me. HELP! Does anyone know how to do layouts in LJ that work???!!
ETA: Never mind. I got it up and running. The only difference is I lost the sidebar with all of the links. So the claims list can be found through the "website" at the top of the page and through the Profile. New table of 10x10 coming soon!
Well I have loved seeing all the new claims being completed. They are fantastic! I am thinking of making a third set of ten to give some of you repeaters something new to try. So I'm looking for ideas. What do you have? Do you have a trend you love? Or better yet, one you've created and are dying to spread? SHARE!
So my one week leave of absence turned into two weeks of craziness. So any comments/emails that were sent were seen and then forgotten. I've only just now gotten around to getting back to them. Bottom line. All claims automatically received a small extension due to the fact that I wouldn't have noticed even if you'd completed it. So the list now stands as...
PERMANENTLY EXPIRED "Sanctuary" by raven_moon due by Jan 2nd "Vampire Diaries" by kalina_blue due by Jan 4th
Extended Claims "Edward Scissorhands" by visionfantastic due by Feb 14th "WWE wrestler CM Punk" by bluepunk due by Feb 14th
Claims Coming Up! The Women of "Vampire Diaries" by accrues due by Jan 28th "Tangled" by just_miya due by Feb 2nd
Also I'm still taking entries for a banner. I have two that look awesome and I would love more. If not, one will be put up by the end of the week.
I hope everyone had a very Happy New Year! I have some claim info that needs to be updated.
EXPIRED CLAIMS: "Sanctuary" by raven_moon due by Jan 2nd "Vampire Diaries" by kalina_blue due by Jan 4th "WWE wrestler CM Punk" by bluepunk due by Jan 4th
CLAIMS DUE IN JANUARY: "Edward Scissorhands" by visionfantastic due by Jan 12th The Women of "Vampire Diaries" by kissingcrime due by Jan 28th
If your claim has expired and you would like an extension, I will still accept them for up to one week after your claim has expired. For example, on Jan 9 "Sanctuary" will be expired for good.
Now here are some other goodies: I am actually getting ready to be out of town for about a week. I will check back but infrequently. Just know that I will get back to you as soon as I can. :)
Thank you!
ETA: Our layout contest had 0 entries. Really? No one wanted to help make a layout??? :( I'm saddened by this. If you are still interested, please leave a comment. Thank you!
Well, I hate the reason that brought me back, but I love the opportunity to start over. The recent spam-bot only posted to non-active communities and it drew to my attention the fact that the last active post in this community was made over 1 year ago. ...Oops. My bad. Missed that whole "community stopped being active" thing.
So I'm here to see if we should correct it! Now, please be patient with me as before tonight I was only moderating the Hall of Fame post. (Sssh...no one tell anyone that I let it go when the community died.) So now that I'm holding all the reigns in my hands (HA HA HA.../evil laugh) I would love to see some new life come into this community.
First Order of Business: I will be making a new Claims Post to post your claims to. We're going to pretend that no one has done a claim. :) Well, not exactly, I'm not deleting your old claims or anything. I'm just giving everyone a fresh start. If you had a claim that you didn't finish. If you had a claim that you didn't like and want to re-do. If you never picked a claim because you were too shy/busy/whatever then PICK IT NOW! Q: Can I pick a claim I never posted and post it as soon as I'm approved? A: As long as the icons are new (ie. never posted to a comm before) I'm good. :)
Q: What if I didn't read the rules? A: Well, you really should do that first. I'm not changing the rules as of right now. The old rules stand. However, I will be taking suggestions for...
Second Order of Business Revamping the 10X10 sets. Any thoughts/questions/suggestions/general comments and the like are well appreciated. Thank you very much.
Third Order of Business I would like to host a layout contest. Let's give our journal a little TLC, shall we? Nothing says "new start" like "new layout".
If you have any other questions, just let me know! :)
ETA: I've also opened claims to include animated movies/characters/pairings. :) Still no anime as of right now (there are other comms devoted to that), but animation is now allowed.

creative
