Lol so... I had this unexpected hiatus from LJ for about a year, and school got me busy. Not too sure about the future of this icontest, but I figured I should at least finish up this week that I left hanging for a year.
14 icons this week!

I'm sincerely sorry for being such a bad mod recently. It's been one hectic summer (as it's been tying down for me, school's about to start) and I haven't had the time to post this up. Anyway, here is this week's submissions. Once again, I am sorry for the long wait, but I will do my best to be punctual like I was before.
ON BRIGHTER NEWS, I HAVE BEEN RUNNING simple_icontest FOR A YEAR NOW! 8D
