Remember, sign ups are open all months long as fewer than 15 people have signed up. If you want to join in, comment here and join the fun :D

This post contains all the information you need to enter your icons. Breaking the rules might lead to a disqualification for the next round.

Rules:

• Icons must be made originally for this challenge. No prior work may be submitted!
• All work must be your own, not someone elses!
• Make sure icons aren't adult in nature!
• Icons must fit the Dreanwidth standard: under 40 kb, 100x100px and in either .png, .gif, or .jpg file format.
• Post the finished icons at the same time to this community.
• When posting the finished 20, please leave a 3 icon preview. You are free to post them here (with a cut) or a direct link to the entry.
• Don't lock the icon post: The mods need to access them for posting the voting and others want to see them after all. (This doesn't apply when the icons are all posted to this community instead of your own journal/community)
• Don't submit your icons to this post!
• All entries are moderated: This means they'll be public once a mod approves them. The mod will also tag them at this time!
• You don't need to tag your entries! (But you're welcome to, if you want to do it :) )
• You may change/adjust the table as needed (or code it yourself) for as long as the prompts are still in relation to the icons (the same goes for switching between US/UK spelling and any other variations I'm not familiar with)
• Please use this guideline for the subject: Round# - Claim
• If possible, try to comment on everyone's post - they most likely would like comments as much as you do :)

Completed 20 are due on 20 October 2012 (Sunday)

I have everything finished and can post, but I want to double-check about the "first scene" theme. I've always considered Gimli's first scene to be the Council of Elrond, but there's a brief montage of Legolas, Boromir, & Gimli arriving in Rivendell that occurs shortly before the Council scene begins. Would it still be appropriate to use the Council as the first scene? (I have an icon prepared either way.)

[immortalje]

That would be perfectly fine. After all you could argue that he's only a background "prop" in the scene that they arrive while he really appears as part of the story during the council scene. :)

Okay, great. Thanks!
