Urgh sorry for missing the last week. June sign-ups are now closed. If you'd like to make a fixed deadline claim, go here.

Fixed-Deadline Claims [?]

No upcoming deadlines. We have three active claims ending in August, though.

If you would like to make a new claim, comment over here. You can make fixed-deadline claims at any time.


Monthly Claims [?]

Monthly claim sign-ups are open until June 7 @ 11:59PM EST. If you're interested in starting a monthly claim, comment to this post with the following form:

<b>Journal that needs posting access:</b> <b>Would you like banners at checkpoints (25, 50, 75, and 100)?:</b> yes/no <b>1st Choice Claim</b> <b>Claim category:</b> (character, movie, series, pairing, specific group/duo/trio/etc.) <b>Movie/series/characters for claim:</b> <b>2nd Choice Claim (optional)</b> <b>Claim category:</b> (character, movie, series, pairing, specific group/duo/trio/etc.) <b>Movie/series/characters for claim:</b>

The first June theme post will be on Monday June 4.

Sorry this is a bit late! Monthly sign-ups will be opening soon (this Friday). Note that this prompt post is considered part of May, not June. If you'd like to make a fixed deadline claim, go here.

Technically, there's still time (about 6 hours) to submit icons for Week 001, but since we currently have no monthly claims, that deadline doesn't really apply to anyone! If you'd like to make a fixed deadline claim, though, go here.

Oh dear, I almost forgot to post this. Here's an overview of mini challenges, the first of which is going to start tomorrow.

Hey everyone! Here's the first theme post. There's still time (about 7 hours) to sign up for a monthly claim for May. See here for monthly claims and here for fixed deadline claims (can be started at any time). I hope people sign up!

Unfortunately, because I didn't post a reminder earlier, all our current claims expired.

Miscellaneous

We have three new affiliates:
disney_heaven (an application-based community for promoting Disney icons)
disneydolce (a Disney community featuring longer icon challenges)
elite_disney (an application-based challenge community for elite icon makers)

We're also working on promoting this comm and we'd love your help! ( More infoCollapse )

Hey everyone, thank you so much for voting on the poll. We're trying to get everything ready so that we can start sign-ups for the monthly challenges and begin posting weekly themes ASAP. So, here's a detailed overview of monthly challenges. If you have any questions not covered here, feel free to ask them in the comments. Thanks!

( Frequently Asked Questions (monthly claims)Collapse )

Hey everyone, first off I apologize for not making a post in this comm for almost four months. lil_hippie_chic and I are still here, though, and still willing to make this comm work.

Thank you to the people who gave us feedback on the previous post. lil_hippie_chic and I have decided that it might help for us mods to (1) post more frequently (I mean, even more frequently than the expected monthly post... although posting more frequently than every four months WOULD help too!), and (2) use activities and challenges to help people get inspired and get past their creative blocks.

So after some discussion, here's what we have so far:

( 1: Monthly Claims / Weekly ThemesCollapse )
( 2: Mini ChallengesCollapse )

So now, we'd like your thoughts and help -- are you interested in seeing these things? Do you have any questions about how it would work or see issues with what we've presented above? Here's a poll with some issues. Let us know in the comments if there are things not in this poll that you have opinions about.

( PollCollapse )

Hey everyone! Another post from me. Activity has been down recently, and lil_hippie_chic suggested I collect thoughts and suggestions from members on how to get participation back up again.

I know lots of graphic makers have migrated to Tumblr, and we can't really help that. But are there things we mods can do to make the 100 icon claims more interesting? Any improvements you'd like to see in the community specifically? More frequent posts in the comm? Different organization? Different types of claims? More responsiveness from the mods? Is 100 icons just too much to make? Anything goes. Comments are screened.

(By the way, I'm working on a new type of claim that would be similar to filling out answers on a meme, but by making icons. If you're curious about it, you can read about it here.)
