Blast From The Past Icontests

Since it's a new year, I'm looking ahead at what we should do next. It's not like I've run out of options yet, but we've been active here long enough that maybe we could think about revisiting some of the comms we've had already.

So here's my question: from which comm of the ones we already did would you like to see another round?



fair warning about turbo_rumble: the choose-your-own-adventure round there was a one-time thing. i'm unlikely to do that very same challenge again.

If you want to suggest other comms that we haven't had at all yet, I'm all ears, too! Just leave a comment.

Hello dear participants!

Don't worry about how weird the screened submitted comments look. I can see the icon links just fine.

(And since I now know a few participants at this point, I won't participate in the guessing.)

Keep submitting to your heart's content! The more the merrier. <3

There's still time until Friday.

After the poll at icontalking was unanimously in favor of creating a community where we could enjoy old icon challenges again, I've created this comm for this purpose.

I'm currently in the process of setting it up, so please bear with me.

Rough idea: monthly challenges from all over the place, mostly/preferably from very old, dead LJ icon challenge comms. We'll adapt the rules (specifically voting: none, number of icons: unlimited, and allowed fandoms: all) for each challenge so we have the same rules for every challenge here in this comm, overriding the restrictions of the original challenge comm. This is done so everyone can enjoy our challenges without the rules changing too much from month to month.

The main goal of this comm is to celebrate the iconmaker community and the immense creativity of its members over the last 25+ years.

1) If you are an administrator of an active icon challenge comm, or used to run one that is now closed, feel free to let me know if you would allow us (or not allow us) to reuse your challenges in the context of retro_icontest. That will save me the trouble of coming to ask you separately. :)

2) If you would like to be a co-mod, please let me know.

3) If you have any questions, please comment to this post.
