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. :)

I'm in for the lims and I think it is a great idea. I need more incentive to make SG-1 icons because I really love the show and this will provide it.

There are sooooo many really good SG-1 icon makers out there that this should be an interesting learning experience. With my goofy sense of humor and lack of real design skills I expect to be the first one out but I don't really care. Positive feedback is good but true feedback is better. I'm up for a challenge but already over my head.

I think you have enough help and I have zero experience but if you need more then holler.

Yay! :) There just aren't enough SG-1 icons in this world. I'm convinced of it.

It sort of depends on whether or not those really good icon makers participate, doesn't it? Although truthfully, it ended up not mattering to me when I decided to participate in lantis_lims. That group included some of my favorite makers and I just knew that I'd be out in the very first round. I was scared of that but decided that even if I were voted out first round, I'd have a learning experience. I don't think that would be your fate but something like that is unpredictable.

Thank you for the offer to help! I'm sure we'll take you up on it. As it is looking, I think there's enough interest so far to make this a real possibility.
