Welcome to our new affiliate, firefly_rumble! It's kind of like a LIMS comm, but seems like it'll be a more positive approach.

poss upcoming challenge

hbpen — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:51:56 GMT

Would anyone be interested in another challenge? (I ask because only 3 people entered the last one...)

Vote - Promote Collector's Edition DVD

hbpen — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 18:47:30 GMT

Don't forget to buy the Collector's Edition in August just because you forgot to enter this challenge. There are a few entries though, so be sure to vote.

Must vote to win. Don’t vote for yourself. Don’t vote for someone just cuz they’re your friend. Number *before* the icon is the right number. Voting is weighted so 1st place gets more points than 2nd place, etc.

1. 2. 3.

Please don't vote for a 3rd place. It's there from default but not really needed for a challenge w/only 3 entries... Thanks!!

So, how would ya'll feel about another challenge??

hbpen — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 17:50:12 GMT

I was going to post this yesterday, but I forgot I was going out to a comedy shindig. By the time I got home, I'd totally forgotten.

So, anyway. New challenge! YAY! I was inspired by an icon I saw. (This may be a challenge we've done before. If so, just don't enter an icon that you've already entered here, ok?)

BIG DAMN HERO

The icon must have the words "Big Damn Hero" and NO OTHER WORDS. (Yes, you may pluralize it if you want.) Entries due Friday, April 13.

Where did everybody GO????

hbpen — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 20:32:45 GMT

A 2+ wk challenge for "RELIEF." TWO people have entered. Two.
I'm pretty sure there's never been a turnout that low here... :(

So I'll wait ONE more day, hoping people will have last-minute inspiration.
*crosses fingers*

Relief Entry...

teddibear — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 12:31:11 GMT

Heh, so it seems as though I've been absent for a while. A new relationship will do that to you. Heh. Anyways, here's my Relief entry. It's River (who else? *g*), the font is Alanis Hand, the brush credit can be found in the userinfo for purplemagnetism, the gradients are courtesy of pekeana and the textures courtesy of colorfilter and so_out_of_ideas. The icon was a total accident too in the placement of the border brush. Gotta love those happy accidents! *snerk*

Want, take, have. Just credit, comment, and share.
