Queer icon Challenge

It does not work like this

christinaa88 — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 21:47:22 GMT

Well, see. I am always pretty busy but I don't mind preparing challenges and do the winner banners and everything but actually I do since I have only 2-3 participants for each challenge.
In fact I decided to keep this com going but I need you to do that. It can't be me alone.

What do you suggest. I am open for everything ;)
please. Tell me what am I doing wrong? Is it the topics? well the last at least was wished by the members. I really don't know it ):

HELP!

Is this community dying?

christinaa88 — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:59:12 GMT

Okay guys. I have a big problem.
We have 2 participants for this challenge... now I decided to still have the extrention running but what am I supposed to do if that goes on like that?
I mean seriously ... a challenge without icons is definitely not possible so I am begging you to vote if it is even worth the work for this community anymore.

everyone just leave a short comment
Either I WANT THIS COMMUNITY TO WORK or I THINK IT IS NOT WORTH THE WORK

I need at least 10 yes for going on!
Thank you very very much.

Hi guys!

I know it's been awhile since we've been around, and I do apologize for that. But we will be back soon.

The lovely christinaa88 will be on vacation till the middle of December, so we will start having challenges again on December 21st.

We both thank you for your patience and we hope you'll enjoy the upcoming contests as much as we enjoy offering them to you!

*hugs*

HIATUS EXTENDED for one more week

dragontatt — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:50:45 GMT

Hey guys,

I know you've been waiting patiently for a new challenge. Unfortunately, real life is rearing its ugly head and preventing us from coming back quite yet.

So the hiatus is extended one more week (to September 9.)

Thank you all for your patience!

And don't forget to go here to drop off any suggestions you have for upcoming challenges.

hiatus

christinaa88 — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 09:44:35 GMT

hello guys. I am sorry. this comes unexpected I know but I am so much in pressure of time so I really need to do this.
I have not even the time to make the challenge banners or whatever so I am taking this 2 weeks hiatus to prepare the next challenges and don't let this happen again ... i hope so

i hope you're not totally pissed.
thanks for your understanding...see you September 2nd ;)

CHALLENGE 16-CLOSED TO ENTRIES!!

dragontatt — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 00:21:48 GMT

Okay. I had no more neutral ideas for the moment so I thought we'd just change to homosexual stars.
I hope you'll like this challenge as much as the previous ones.

Hmm. Well, when I decided to use this topic I thought "who is probably the most famous or important?" Well, I guess it's Ian McKellen. He is totally dedicated to gay rights, he often goes to pride parades and gives interviews about him being gay and his fight for his rights.

Ian McKellen
