100fandoms challenge

Do you want to join me in a challenge? [community profile] 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 [community profile] 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 liking this idea.So...you make one icon for each fandom and the prompt?

I'm in!

This is exactly what I was looking for (except for one fandom instead of 100, but I can definitely work with 100 different fandoms instead...)

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?

I'm rather late to the party, but I'm going to try to do this as well! It looks like a fun challenge, and will push me to branch out from my favorite shows/actors, which is all to the good!

I already have two! Fingers crossed I can keep it up. Thank you for sharing this challenge! :)
