This is a very special icon community where you make icons anonymously, and then all icons will be posted together and everyone will have fun guessing who the makers are.

This first round runs until July 9th, and you can make as many (or few) icons as you like. The theme this month is "horror and muted".

Hint: I will participate. :D

p.s.: you don't need an LJ account, since you can comment anonymously, both for the making of icons and the guessing next month.

Far be it from me to create more work for

jsfunction, but ... wow. This month's challenge at somein30 is the most amazing thing I have ever seen:

My weekend was a bit busy... and there are already two color challenges running at

iconbattles, so I need to come up with another challenge for our comm. I hope to have it up before Friday. <3

The annual activities at

bestof_icons have started again!

bestof_icons || activities start December 11

Schedule:

December 11th - Icon Remake

December 26th - Icon Resolutions

January 1st - Nominations Open!
January 10th - Maker Nominations Closed
January 15th - Icon Nominations Closed

Feel free to join the fun, even if you're not active on LJ.

rizbef runs the activity, and she's always open to makers from dw participating.

If you don't have an lj account, your (anonymous) comment will be screened at first (or at least that's how it was last year). Please let me know if it doesn't show up within a few days, and I'll send the mod a PM. She's inundated with tons of comments for a large activity like this, but she's very welcoming and supports every maker who wants to take part in the activity.

novindalf will no longer be updating the challenges list on LJ. So this is just a snapshot of how the LJ comm landscape looked in January 2022 now. Several comms have moved to DW in April 2022, I hope you can find some interesting ones here.

As far as I can tell, the ones still active now (in November 2022) are:

basic_icontest

food_stillness

total_icontest

tvshowsic

The LJ challenge comm list has been updated. Quite a few (at least half a dozen) comms have gone inactive over the last two months. :(

But there are still plenty of active ones out there, and as luck would have it, all the LIMS are starting up again right now, as well as the Halloween rumble at calendarsquares. Maybe you want to sign up for one of those?

I've updated (most of) the challenges on LJ here.

I know some people have expressed interest in taking part in a rumble.

A rumble is a challenge where you get concrit! The rumbles at calendarsquares are usually 4 icons long (one icon per week). You get points for incorporating the given themes each week, and for giving concrit. Whoever gets the most points wins the rumble.

The rumble is anonymous, i.e. nobody knows which are your icons and the concrit is given anonymously, too.

The sign-ups are currently open:

I've updated the list of challenges on LJ here.
