On a personal note, this is my last post as co-mod of X-Men Stills, at least for the foreseeable future. I will still be a banner maker, but as for posting challenges, I'm stepping aside now to concentrate on other projects.
Thank you all for the great experience I've had as co-mod. :)
I expect everyone is busy this holiday weekend--but after the fireworks, don't forget to submit your icons for Challenge 4! Only one person has entered so far!
Hello all... I was just cross-checking my files with past entries, and it appears that we never had award banners posted for Challenge 58 (Beast). Since the schedule was long since updated, I have no idea who was slated to do it then (but I forgot to post a reminder note with the winners, so it's probably partly my fault).
Anyway... since I hate to leave loose ends, I wondered if any of our banner makers would like to step up and fill in that gap. I'll do it if no one else wants to--but if anyone does, just post a comment here to let me know. :)
We're going to begin from scratch starting after Challenge 60! Check back later today for the details of our new challenge. jordannamorgan is still hosting Challenge 60, and on May 10th, when it is complete, we will be half way through with "Challenge 1", thus beginning a new period for challenges @ x_men_stills. We'll have new tags and a fresh start! :)
I'm pressed for time right now, so I'm going to hold off the voting for Challenge 59 until Monday night. In the meantime, if anyone wants to sneak in a few last-minute entries, that would be most welcome!
The community isn't dead yet. :Þ I don't know what's happened to Beck, but since nothing has happened here for nearly a month, I'm going to take the initiative of posting a (sort-of) new challenge.
First of all, hello! Secondly, I'm sorry about my absence. Real life > icontests. Sigh. Luckily, I have jordannamorgan, littlesarahlost and fragilecat to thank for picking up the slack and keeping things moving. Fortunately, the rotation schedule was still set on the two-week intervals system, and I think both jordannamorgan and myself would be more comfortable working from that schedule than posting a new challenge each week. So, I've updated the Rotation Schedule, and without having altered up through March, I'm not due to post a new challenge until the 9th, so that's when mine will go up (Challenge 59).
I'd like to mention to the co-mods and bannermakers that tags should be used. Please put the number of the challenge and what the post is about in the tags section of your entries. Everything's all out of whack so far as the tags are concerned. I've been working on them for months now and I can't seem to get things organized. So, all new posts should have tags if you can remember! Thanks.

P.S. There should really only be two tags per entry. Tags examples: challenge 1, challenge challenge 1, reminder challenge 1, voting challenge 1, winners challenge 1, banners
