My Deep Apologies

[djmustangsally.livejournal.com]

Hello to all the wonderful and loyal members of trekicontest!

I am so sorry to be writing this message. I deeply apologize for falling off LJ and abandoning the comm, and you all, for the past month. I will not excuse it, although there has been plenty of work/family/computer issues that have occurred over the past month, I should have not shirked my mod responsibilities. I am very, very sorry.

I have NOT quit the comm, and I hope you will all come back and give it (and me!) another chance as well! I am especially sorry to the participant in Challenge 247 for letting this one sit for so long. I am reopening that challenge, and will present another challenge, so we'll have two going this week to get us kickstarted again!

I will also post the winners from Challenge 246. Thank you for your patience!

Lastly, I am very behind on making banners. I really enjoy making them, however, I am a bit overwhelmed. Would anyone be interested in helping me make some of the winners banners? You can see some old banners to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. If the idea of doing a little artsy graphics project appeals to you, please drop me a note! Thanks in advance!

Again, I am so sorry to have failed for the past month, and do promise to do better!! Please always feel free to email/message me with ideas or suggestions, challenges, a reminder, anything! I enjoy making the Trek icon challenges, and love seeing what incredible icons everyone creates! Now let's get back to the iconing! :)

Your humble mod,
Sally (aka djmustangsally / harmony033)

Welcome back! I guessed that something must have been happening in RL. I'm glad you're able to devote the time to this comm again. Much appreciated!

Thank you so much! I'm glad to be back as well!

Everyone needs some down time now and then...I'm glad to see you are back. You do a great job. I can't put my hnad up for banners just now, sorry, RL is being difficult. I will bear it in mind thought for later.

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it! And no worries about banners, if you have time later, that'd be great, but no pressure.

I can help out with banners.

Awesome, thanks! I'm pretty far behind, so we'll start with the earliest ones and work forwards.

The only basic requirement for banners I ask for is that they display the winning icon and state the comm name, challenge number and name, and winner's name and place. You can make them shiny and pretty however you would like beyond that!

Feel free to check out past banners at the banners tab, and you can use them as templates or guides. If you have any questions, feel free to just message or email me!

I don't know how many challenges you're willing/able to tackle, so let's start small. I'll try and have you not do banners for ones you won a banner in, so it's more of a treat. :) How about you work on 225: Borg (http://trekicontest.livejournal.com/239769.html), 226: Red (http://trekicontest.livejournal.com/240398.html), 227: Children (http://trekicontest.livejournal.com/242401.html). Is that too many? Let me know what you think, and if you're willing to do more beyond that, I'd certainly appreciate it, just let me know. Thanks again!!! :D
