Update

[luminousdaze]

Only a few members voted in the opinion & interest level polls and it doesn't bode well for future of this icontest. Maybe, we need to regenerate the moderator into someone more clever!
The challenge option that got the most votes was the Twelve Days of the Twelfth Doctor. I think people voted to see it happen, not neccessarily to make icons for the challenge but that's all right. By next weekend, I should have at least the first "day" up. Stay tuned & thanks!

I think that the issue is is that so many people have left LJ. :( Perhaps a sister comm on Dreamwidth might help? Also, I have noticed that when the show isn't airing new episodes, social media participation seems to go down somewhat.

I know, there are only a few icon Doctor Who icon makers around, that's why I posted the interest poll, I hate to be annoying, well more than is usual. ;-) Multi-fandom icontests are still doing okay, at least the few comms that are left, but single fandom ones are harder to keep going. There is a mirror comm, I use it as a back up it's updated when I remember to import the entries to it. https://dwstills.dreamwidth.org/

I look forward to this comm, so don't put yourself down! I just joined the Dreamwidth comm. :) Next time there's a challenge I could mention it on dwicons since I'm a mod there now.

[luminousdaze]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the comm under my mod-ship.

I plan to post my old icon-battle icons sooner or later, that post will mention this comm, and I'll cross post to dwicons, so that'll work as a kind of promo, too.

Sounds great!

The last couple months were rough, in the real world, and my creative mojo went on vacation. But I'm really looking forward to the new challenge! :)

[luminousdaze]

I understand. Thanks so much! I'll try to make it a good one.

I think you're a great mod. You're fair and the challenges have always been varied, and interesting!

For my part, I just don't have time/inclination to make icons anymore. But I love to see what everyone else comes up with! <3

[luminousdaze]

Thank you so much!
First we have to see if I can actually come up with twelve days of stuff. 😃

I hope you don't mean you want to give up moderating this comm, because you're a great mod!

Maybe it would help participation if the comm was (properly - not just as backup) on Dreamwidth too. If you post on Dw (that's how I write it to tell it apart from DW, which obviously stand for Doctor Who) you can set it up to automatically crosspost to LJ. And if you don't want to have to add up poll results, you can just post one to one site and on the other site you can post a link.

Thank you so much! You're a great member. :)

Well, I don't know, we'll see how I feel next year (about the icontest not about you being a great member!).

Oh, I wish! Cross-posting is only allowed now for personal journals not communities. I have to update my comms via the Import tool.

I voted in both polls. :o)

Sadly I'm not that familiar with the 12th Doctor. :o( So if Twelve Days of the Twelfth Doctor wins I may not enter. (Sorry.)

[luminousdaze]

Okay thanks! It's really the second poll that matters if you just voted after this post.
