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)

I have extended the last challenge, 247: Text. The challenge will now close next Sunday, August 24 at 10 pm EST. You may use ANY Trek images, you just MUST add some form of text to the icon.

Stay tuned for the next challenge, to run concurrently with 247, and for the winners of 246!
