Is anyone interested in a LIMS contest for SG-1?  
ETA: [livejournal.com profile] 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? [livejournal.com profile] 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. :)

You're definitely one of the best mods I've ever run across and it is always a pleasure to play in your sandbox. [livejournal.com profile] sf_incandescent earned its sterling reputation. I was very sad when it went on hiatus but I understood. After my positive experience with [livejournal.com profile] 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, [livejournal.com profile] 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!
