Anime Icontext

Hey everyone! I wonder if there are still people checking this community. If there are, I would like to sincerely apologize for the Mods disappearing without notice. Life took over and as you might already know, maintaining the community became impossible. However, I am now trying to get back into my usual online duties and interests and I was wondering if there are still people interested in reviving this community?

Honestly, we only had one lonely participant for Week 086 and we've been sort of scraping by on the weeks before that. 20in20 and rumble communities seem to be the trend these days, so a lot of icontests have been closing or disappearing. It truly saddens me to think of the possibility of anime_icontext closing but without any participation, it's only inevitable.

Thus, I would like to ask for people's opinions and suggestions regarding this matter. Would you still want me to continue the community? Would having month-long challenges or perhaps more variety in challenges catch your interest to participate?

I'll keep comments screened just in case you prefer it that way. I hope you'll share with us your views on this. :)

Aaah it has been awhile for me. Forgive me as I get back into the swing of things!

As it is, only one person has submitted icons so far! ;;

Please submit your icons here by Saturday, February 19.

General Theme: Valentine

A GIGANTIC thank you to sumeragi_sei for keeping this community alive all these months, and an equal thank you to all the participants without whom we wouldn't have a contest! I'm glad to be back and bringing your themes for this week!

General Theme

Valentine

Valentine's Day is next week, so for this week's theme, any text that features words related to the holiday is acceptable. Words like "love", "couple", "chocolate", "roses", "red", "heart", etc. If it makes you think of Valentine's Day, then it works!

I apologize for the lateness. I wanted to post this on the same day I posted voting at another community I mod but my workload just wouldn't allow it. orz
Still, we ended up with 8 beautiful icons to vote for! You guys are AMAZING~~ *__* Thank you so very much to everyone who took the time to submit. m(_ _)m

✗ To vote, comment to this post with the numbers of your three favorite icons in the order of most preferred first, and one more for the Special Category. To give everyone a chance, your SC vote must differ from your other votes. This must be in some way made clear from your other votes.
✗ The SC this week is BEST TEXT.
✗ Please refrain from voting for yourself unless you truly believe your icon is the best. IF this is the case, you may only vote for ONE of your icons.
