all the entries so far have been amazing, voting it going to be the hardest thing ever! Thank you so much to anno for running this lovely community. (and rejecting me the first time so I'd work for it.) I treasure the community and will miss it and the lovely icons that result!
First of all, I want to thank you, my icon makers.
Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for making this community what it is. Each and every one of you, airlocked or current members of this very tiny fleet have produced so many gorgeous and amazing 100x100 pixel (and bigger!) artworks over the course of the last 4 years. There are more popular comms, there are bigger comms, but I definitely think we're one of the best. I love you so much for trying as hard as you can to make the most gorgeous icons you can, and for not settling for sloppy halfassed last minute shit. We had a rough patch when I though it was about to close shop, but since we've come back stronger than ever and You're all to be congratulated for being so awesome and patient with me despite me going Tigh on your asses. I also wanna give a very special thanks to our most active participants over the last 4 years; xmaidelx, greyfable, ctofine, mouthfullofdust, smercy and spud66cat. You guys rock my fucking socks. Never stop producing icons. Ever.
In writing moment, we have 42 members. And we have almost four times that in watchers. Thanks also to you, for paying attention, and for voting.
And here we are now, our One Hundredth challenge.. And before you ask - the awards from the 50th is still in a box in my closet and I promise I will frakking get it to you winners, I PROMISE. I'm just strapped for cash right now so I can't afford the postage. But as soon as I do, it's coming. Same goes for the awards for this challenge - they're fewer since I've taken them from my own Battlestar collection instead of buying them on eBay, but they're still cool! Since they're so few, from my own collection and we have even more categories this year, I will not make a lottery from them, but I will decide the top three icons overall (which is gonna be a biiiiiitch if I know you guys right) and those three people will get the awards. I wanna say that I tried my best to get some cheap actual real honest to gods BSG props from the Propworx auctions for this challenge but all ran away too expensive so.. sorry about that. You know I'd buy you all a raptor each if I could afford it.
Now I'm stopping with the yippety yappeting and here be;
