Icon activity: Overused and Hard to Use! - info & sign up post

[starkwars.livejournal.com]

I had an idea about an icon activity that I was going to do on my own but thought it would be more fun with other people. The activity is where you take some overused caps and try and make something new and unique with them and hard to use caps as a second section of it, to make it even more challenging! ;D

This will be pretty relaxed, just something to do over the course of a month or so since everyone will be busy with summer things!

So if you're interested in joining in please leave a comment with this form! Sign ups will be open throughout the whole thing so if you're not sure about it just yet, come back later!

About the screencap selection; I'm making a pool for those who join in to pick from, you don't have to use them all.
The minimum requirement for icon submission is 2 and the maximum is whatever you want to do.

I think I covered everything but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

YOU'RE BACK! Wait! You are back, right?

Re: signing up =)

[neatmonster.livejournal.com]

Hi Fridde! yes, kind of I guess. I'm just participating here and there :)

Re: signing up =)

[monstersinyou.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's great! I really do hope to see you around more. :)

[barstr7.livejournal.com]

Is it too late to get in on this? I know, I'm always the late one. ;)

[starkwars.livejournal.com]

Nope! There's still plenty of time (13 days) to get some icons in! :D

I may end up extending it as only 2 have submitted icons so far. If I do, you should get a notice in your email as I put the participants list in the reminder posts to people know.

[barstr7.livejournal.com]

Cool, I really wanted to do this but it looked like I wouldn't have the free time so I didn't sign up. But it turns out my insomnia is good for something after all and I've been messing around with the submitted caps at night.
