Every month participants will be able to claim a Jane Austen movie, book adaptation, character or ship and make 20 icons, which will have assigned themes. You will have 20 days to make 20 icons.
Sign Ups, Themes & Voting
Once the call for sign ups is posted, you are allowed to claim via a comment with your username and your claim (plus an alternate). An alternate is only needed in case your claim has already been taken before the participant list is updated. Your claim is what you will work on for the 20 days. Should decide to change your claim, you must let me know as soon as possible.
The theme breakdown are as follows: Ten (10) icons will have a given theme that are changed each round followed by five (5) icons that are part of a set which will include a category. The final five (5) icons will be artist choice. All themed icons are open to interpretation and can be whatever you see fit so long as it falls within your claim.
Voting will be broken down by theme, category and artist choice. All will be voted as icons and as well as groups (with the exception of the 10 themed icons).
01. Animation is allowed 02. Icons submitted must fit LJ standards: 100x100 pixels in either jpg, gif, or png format and must be under 40 kb. 03. You can claim only once (1) per month and you cannot reclaim your subject consecutively (meaning if you claim Darcy in Round 1 you cannot reclaim Darcy until Round 3). 04. Your icon post can be linked to your journal ONLY if it is not a locked post. You can lock your icon post once results are announced. 05. Since icons and icon makers are known upon viewing-no voting for friends or because you like the icon maker. Take all the icons into account and then vote accordingly. 06. Claims are on a first come, first served basis. Multiple claims will not be allowed unless a different adaptation is being used. 07. When submitting your entry please use a 3 icon preview and place the rest behind a cut! 08. Other information of interest: Uncompleted Claims: If you do not complete a round for whatever reason (medical, family emergency, etc.) you will not be able to sign up for the next round, but can for the round after that. For example if you sign up for Round 4, but do not complete it you will not be able to sign up for round 5, however; you can sign up for Round 6. You also will not be able to sign up with the claim you did not complete.
