Sadly, this isn't me taking up the mantle again. Instead, I've revived the other icontest I handled here at IJ as a 20in20 icontest and since it's open to all fandoms (including Merlin ;)) I thought I would share here as well.

You first sign up with a claim (can be any series/movie/celebrity and specified to seasons, episodes, characters or pairings) and when the prompts are posted you have 20 days to make 20 icons for the prompts. Sign up closes with prompts if 8 or more people have signed up, otherwise you can still join in later on.

[info]dailyicons (formerly "tv_icontest") - currently open rounds:

Rule Overview/FAQ

Round 4 Sign Up
(prompts will be posted on 10 September)

Round 2 Tie-Breaker Voting

Meanwhile, Round 3 icons are due on Monday at Midnight, but until then you can still join and make icons:

Mod


To begin with... lately I've been feeling rather uninspired about this icontest (uni stress, not having seen season 2, lack of entries) as such I've decided to close [info]merlin_icontest down until I either manage to actually watch season 2 or someone wants to step in (temporarily (undefined), permanently).

I really didn't want to do that, but I dare say that it's become very obvious that I'm way too absent to really run this icontest.

Thanks to anybody who ever entered and/or voted. It's been a blast and hopefully it eventually will be again and this closing down is only temporarily.


Results


Since only one person entered Challenge 7, there will only be a Mod's Choice:

Challenge 7 features 4 entries by 1 person now. I'm going to leave it open until tomorrow morning. If someone's asked for more time until then, I'll extend it until next Monday. Otherwise, I'll only pick a Mod's Choice.

First of all: I hope everybody had a peaceful and happy holiday (whatever you're celebrating) and a good start into the new year!

Secondly: Challenge 7 still doesn't have any entries. If there aren't any by next Monday, I'll post a new Challenge and close this one. By then things should hopefully have settled down a bit for me (what with 3 things due this week)

I completely missed posting reminders as I struggled with my computer (before replacing it) and as a result there aren't any entries for Challenge 7. Therefore I'm going to extend it for another week. If you'd like/need more time - just ask :)

I haven't counted the votes for Challenge 6 yet, but more would be appreciated before I tally everything up tomorrow (hopefully without ties).

And a reminder that Challenge 7 is open and waiting for entries! I've also added pictures.

- You are free to use any Screencaps of Merlin.
- Uther + One - The icon must feature Uther. The "+ One" can be from the original image, blended in *or* referred to through text. If you've got another way to bring in another person, feel free to use it.

I'm sorry that the new challenge still hasn't been posted. I keep getting distracted by various things.

As it is, I have the choice between putting the icontest on temporary hiatus (until I have more time) or I need a co-mod who can take over until I have enough time again. If you're interested, feel free to ask questions by commenting to this post (or just to apply).

Otherwise, I'll see about coming up with a new challenge tomorrow since I'm having an unexpected free day (bi-weekly class isn't scheduled for tomorrow and the other had been cancelled because the Professor is sick). However, I have no idea how many unfinished homeworks will pop up tomorrow. So, no promises.

There are currently only 4 votes for the Challenge 06 Voting and I'd really love to see a few more votes before I get to posting results!

Also, sorry for being so late with the new challenges. This week has practically blown me away and I didn't even find time to think of a topic. I'll see about getting it up tomorrow *fingers crossed*
Otherwise it might be a good idea to get a co-mod to help with posting challenges and regular reminders and so on.

I've got a general question to the timing of the challenge... partly because I think I had to extend every challenge so far, there usually are only 2 (or 3) people entering and because I've been promised a really full schedule come November/December.

Should I generally plan more time for challenges (e.g. make it monthly) (with hopefully weekly reminders at least)? Should I change the due date? And, if challenges end up running for longer, should I change the amount of icons submitted/make more specific challenges (e.g. scenes, requirements like text or negative space,..)?

Also, if you've got any other kind of input... feel free to comment here!

First of all, there's a 4-way tie for First Place in Challenge 5 (and the next lowest number of points is 2-way tie on top of that)! So a few more votes would be brilliant (even though the voting turnout itself is already great :D )

Secondly, you have a week left to enter Challenge 6!

Sorry that the waiting took a bit longer, but I was waiting for someone's entries and having been busy myself I forgot to ask sooner if it might take a while longer so that I could let you all know when to expect voting (in case anybody else wanted to enter). As it is we have 8 lovely entries to vote on!

Please vote for:
- Your three (3) favourite. Voting will be weighted
(1st - 3 Points, 2nd - 2 Points, 3rd - 1 Point)

Rules:
- No voting for your own icons!

This is a reminder for Challenge 05. It's due today, however I'm going to hold posting the voting off until tomorrow to give people a bit more time to enter (the more the merrier :D) so if you don't have enough time today... you've got all you need.

I'll see about posting a new challenge today.

Now's the time to start getting your entries in. You've got a little under 48 hours left to enter Challenge 5. As usual, if you need a bit more time than that... just ask and I'll hold off for a bit longer.
