just pimping some fun icon activities!  
Wow, there are so many awesome icon activities and new comms and everything! I'm sure most of you already know of these things but I wanted to pimp them anyway:

[livejournal.com profile] bestof_icons has awesome activities, the best of which is of course voting for the best icon of the year from everyone who participates. There's still a little time to participate!






ICON NOMINATIONS - JOIN IN! | MY THREAD
ICON REMAKE - JOIN IN! | MY THREAD







[livejournal.com profile] 10in30 is a new challenge comm that is exactly what it says on the tin - kinda like a 20in20, except a 10in30 :) so, perfect for makers like me who like to take their time with icons.
Here's the first challenge!




[livejournal.com profile] 20muses has the same basic idea with [livejournal.com profile] inspired20in20 and [livejournal.com profile] 20inspirations. It's an open for all comm but based on the first challenge looks refreshingly challenging and super inspiring! Wish I had time for this, but I'm already signed up for too many things... but I definitely intend to enter a round or two in the future :)





Also, one of my favorite challenge comms, [livejournal.com profile] technique20in20, is back. What I love about this comm is that there are no claims, you can icon anything for a single round, even make all icons from different fandoms if you like. It's more like a regular 20in20 than an inspiration 20in20, but with a twist that all the themes are technical and quite challenging too. I've already signed up. I just freaking love this comm. Perfect for makers who like to try and learn new techniques and iconing styles!




and then there are these [livejournal.com profile] icontalking awards. Personally all kinds of award thingies make me uncomfortable, because I don't really like to be compared to other makers tbh, but I know these things are super fun for lots of others and the organizer is a wonderful person who has put a lot of work into this with nothing but the best intentions, so I still wanted to advertise this activity too :)

I have no idea what to pick for the category icons at tech20in20. I don't really have any dream world :S

oh, that's right, many of your fandoms seem a little dark so I don't blame you if you don't want to live with Hannibal or the Walking Dead! :p

I haven't picked a dream world yet either but how about starting from the other end - just list possible 'dreams' and see if any of them have any resemblance with any of your fandoms? Like, idk, it could be something as simple as having a great group of friends and having fun with them, and almost any show features friendships :) ooorrr maybe something like having fun adventures in some cool locations, or studying the mysteries on the LOST island or time travelling with the Doctor or something. I'm sure it doesn't have to be something you actively dream about, just something you could find appealing enough!

I hadn't thought of it like that, thank you! :3
