I think the link to the LJ community is broken when I click it takes me to https://icontalking.dreamwidth.org/bestof-icons.livejournal.com, or rather tries to.

Anyway, those activities do look like fun! I might give them a try, if it's okay to participate without a LJ account.

Thank you for the heads-up! I fixed the link now.

The comm allows anonymous comments, so if you take care to tell everyone who you are in the comment itself, I'm sure it'll be okay to participate in the remake activity.

For the best-of-2017, I think it may be a little harder. Anonymous users can't fill out polls afaik, and that would make it a lot less fun, probably? But you can ask the mod, rizbef.

I do have OpenID set up, at least! But I'm not sure that it works for polls; I'll have to ask about that.

Thank you.

Didn't you suggest once that we could make resources? I'd like that for the next activity. For years I've taken photos with the intention of making textures and such out of them, but I so far I haven't managed to get myself to do it. Ooh, and maybe as the activity after that we could make icons with the resources the other comm members made?

Oh, thank you for the reminder!

I was actually waiting for my friend seraphina_snape to finish setting up a resource community as she planned. That would have worked well together.

Unfortunately, she's had a busy year and didn't get around to it, and then I forgot I wanted to do it. I should probably ask her about it again.

Independent of that, yes, that sounds fun and we should do that!

Yay!

I didn't forget, I just thought we'd insert a typical end-of-year activity first (and give seraphina some more time to get her comm polished).

Hi, jumping right in here because tinny just messaged me about your comment. I had this plan for a resource comm and the RL happened (as it often does). I'd mostly forgotten about it, but I'll see what I can do to finish getting the comm ready so it can be used as a resource base both for people who want to share their own resources and people who are looking for textures/etc. And possibly a place where people can learn to make their own resources.

Re: next activity

[fueschgast]

Looking forward to the comm. Let me know when you've set it up, please.

Re: next activity

[seraphina_snape]

icon_resources - I created the comm a while ago (last year), but then didn't have time to actually post any content. But I edited a few things over the holidays and I definitely have more time to actually take care of the comm now, so it should have a bit more content soon enough.

Thanks!
