I won't deny that there is a certain intimidation factor in LIMS but one job of the moderators is to make certain that feedback is about the *technique* used to make the icon. So, comments such as, "image is a bit blurry and should be sharpened a bit" are acceptable but "that's ugly" are not. The point is to elicit constructive criticism, not the sort of mean-spirited stuff that gets hidden behind f-locks in rant communities.

I take your point. I, too, am most fond of Old School SG-1. I've thought a bit about the sorts of caps that we'd have to choose given the ten seasons and the shippers vs. slashers wars in the community. I want everyone who ever loved SG-1 to feel welcome and comfortable. I don't know if you've spent any time perusing the lantis_lims but I thought they did a nice job of choosing a variety of caps to represent all the characters for each and every challenge.

I had been thinking along the lines of each challenge always having at least one picture of each of the main team members (Jack, Daniel, Sam, Teal'c, Cameron, Vala). Challenges with shippy caps would also need to have slashy caps and femme slash-y caps and team-y caps, to my way of thinking. Of course, I'd want to spice it up with Janet and Hammond and Thor and the Nox and Apophis and Jonas and Adria occasionally, as well as having some caps that are scenic while some are character-focused.

Would that sort of content work for you? I'm truly interested to know. That was going to be my next round of questions if things looked good for going forward but I'm happy to talk about it now. :) I'm always open to suggestions and ideas for themes, selections, and what appeals to icon makers.
