100fandoms challenge

[tinny]

Do you want to join me in a challenge? 100fandoms is actually a fic community, but I immediately thought of doing it for icons.

This is not an "official" icontalking activity, but a challenge I came up with in the course of Snowflake. I just thought I'd share here, because it sounds fun:

Make 100 icons in 100 different fandoms, following 100 one-word prompts.

If you want to make it extra-challenging, make those 100 icons within a year. (The fic challenge has no time limit, but I think icons are easier.) I took the fic prompts table from 100fandoms, but it's not identical! I made a few changes to make it better suitable for icons.

Here is the prompts table:

I'm definitely doing this, and I am counting all the icons I'm making in 2019 towards this challenge. (I already have ten. Woot!)

Who else likes this idea?

I'm very tempted to do it! And you're right, if you take all the challenges with provided caps into the equation, as well as communities like capshare (here on DW) or capspiration (on LJ), 100 different fandoms are absolutely doable.

By the way, I noticed a little mistake in the table (it's more like a typo than anything else XD) - #68 should be "blur", right?

Yes, I got to over 70 last year without trying. And if I try, I can probably fill the rest of the free spaces at the end of the year. (That's what I'm thinking, anyway. I guess I'll have to find out! :D)

Thank you so much for letting me know! Yes, you are absolutely right, it is supposed to say "blur". Fixed it!

[sandy79]

Right after leaving my comment here, I started a list of possible fandoms (mostly TV, with the odd one from movies strewn in) - currently we're at 74! Of course, I'll have to seek good pics for the prompts, but I'm more than confident that I will get to 100!

Just out of curiosity: do we count series like the four CSI series (always forget the last series, cause I've only seen the first three) as one fandom, or three seperate? Or a better example - the Marvel Cinematic Universe. All movies in one fandom, or every movie (series) in a seperate one?

[tinny]

Yes! Awesome!

Hee, I should have anticipated this, since it's the most frequently asked question at 100fandoms. I'm just going to stick to the same answer they gave: you decide. If you think they should be different fandoms, then do that. If you feel they are too much of a conglomerate to be able to separate them into distinct fandoms, then count them as one. Here's the FAQ from the 100fandoms comm:
