Is anyone interested in a LIMS contest for SG-1?

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. :)

Oh, you guys. I'm blushing.

omg I kind of miss operating sf_incandescent (it's awfully nice to have it remembered!), too, but I had to admit that I'd wandered away from iconning SG-1 and BSG heavily. Yeah, SGA is my one true love, which was why lantis_lims came into existence.

Thanks for your compliments on lantis, all :). hsapiens, I think you'd do a *great* job with a SG-1 LIMS :). Also, if you want, please feel free to borrow lantis's format and everything else etc. Also, I'd very much like for your comm to become a sister community (recently obaona created a Supernatural LIMS called likethegun_lims and I know elli quite possibly has a Sarah Connor Chronicles LIMS in the works, and both of those borrow lantis's format. I'd love for you to join that little family. Too many times I see on my flist people visiting iconrants and going on about LIMS, so I figure, "hey, let's create a safe harbour".

Okay, one main piece of advice: get other people to do the banners. After all the cap searching, putting voting up, answering comments, I think the last thing I feel like doing is making the banners. So, yeah, go with that :).

I'd be interested in participating, too! I need to make more Sam icons.

You're definitely one of the best mods I've ever run across and it is always a pleasure to play in your sandbox. sf_incandescent earned its sterling reputation. I was very sad when it went on hiatus but I understood. After my positive experience with lantis_lims, I looked around at some other LIMS but found none that operated as smoothly or that had so many great voters.

I appreciate your confidence in me but I know my limitations. Thankfully, beeej is willing to co-mod and I know she's got the chops. I feel far more confident knowing there's someone involved who has done this before. I would *love* to be a sister community (if we do this). I was planning to ask once we'd been up and running for a bit because I wanted to prove that we had our stuff together before approaching you (especially when I thought it possible I'd be the only mod). I'd love to be associated with those communities -- and I'd love to steal adapt your structure because I haven't seen anything else even half as good.

Others making banners. Check. Thank you!
