A weekly icontest with an emphasis on text

Mod Announcement

halesmoon — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 16:10:55 GMT

So there's been a huge lack of participation in this comm. I'm not sure if, as a mod, I'm just not making inspiring challenges, or if people are busy, or if the comm just was never meant to succeed in the first place, but there's only been one participant in the last month. I love my comm, but I'm willing to admit that, at the moment at least, it's not a very successful icontest.

Because of this and the fact that my own RL has become quite hectic with the addition of a new job and trying to finish thesis work, I'm going to put the comm on an indefinite hiatus. I don't know when I'll open it again, but I'll probably give it a few months before seeing if there's any renewed interest in it.

If you want to leave a suggestion as to when to start up again or ideas for new challenges, I've screened the comments. I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, thank you to everyone who participated, and I hope you stick around for when this comm reopens :)
