ETA: sg1_lims -- We now have enough votes to say that yes, we'll be having a LIMS!! If you wish to participate and haven't answered the poll, please fill out the poll so that I know to track you down and let you know when we're ready to open the community. We're collecting caps, organizing themes, and setting up the community right now!

Is there interest among icon makers for a LIMS contest for SG-1? lantis_lims is a well-run community and I enjoyed participating; I'd really like to see something like it for SG-1.

I used to think LIMS was ego-destroying with its eliminations and reasons for voting, but I found that knowing I'd get feedback spurred me to try new techniques and take risks. It was immensely helpful to me as an icon maker to receive comments, both positive *and* critical.

I've wished there were a similar community for SG-1 for a while. So, is there interest? I'd be willing to mod but I'd like to have either co-mods or, as the lantis_lims has, a bunch of volunteers to help. And, of course, I would like to have participants!


[Poll #1165719]


I'm sure there are lots of things I don't know about running a comm such as this; I've never done it. If you have any helpful suggestions or ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Also? Please pimp this poll. I would like to reach the widest range of SG-1 fans possible. Thank you. :)

No, I haven't looked through lantis_lims much. I am thinking about joining up in the next round there, though.

Yeah, I would like a mix of stuff. I'd be happy so long as I wasn't routinely forced to make icons of people I don't like much. Or slashy icons. I would love to see some of the more minor characters brought in, too. Fraser, Hammond, and Jonas, of course, as well as Thor, Narim, and some of the other aliens out there. I'm not very good with scene-centric icons, but I'd be perfectly willing to give them a try. =D

I can safely guarantee that you won't find a better run LIMS anywhere. shadowserenity is a great, conscientious mod.

It's my sincere hope that any SG-1 fan, no matter her preferences, would feel welcome and comfortable participating. I don't have an agenda to push beyond enjoying SG-1 and having fun while making the best icons possible.

I hope that you'll consider signing up. If you decide not to, then I hope you'll still think about joining us to vote and have fun. :)
