Thanks to everyone who participated in even the smallest way. You made this community into something that will always be very special to me.

Take care,

Hi,

I am sorry to say this but, after more than 15 years and what will end up being 700 challenges celebrating all things 'McShep', I think it's about time to say goodbye.

As you know, participation has been low for a long while and, with the amount of work involved and my spare time rapidly dwindling, it no longer make sense to keep the community going indefinitely.

Therefore, Challenge 700 will be this community's final hurrah. I hope those of you still here will make the most of our final three challenges and see us out in style.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say that it's been a real honour running this community for all this time.

When I started this community back in April 2006, it was intended to be a nice little hobby that would run for a year or two until everyone lost interest.

Then, when the show was cancelled in 2009, I (again) didn't expect this place to continue with people moving on to newer & shinier fandoms. But I am so happy I was proven wrong time and again - and that we had another 12 years to appreciate the awe-inspiring creativity and artistry of an infinitely talented fandom.

I'm always amazed at how much you guys can do with only 100 x 100 pixels!

Thank you, thank you, thank you - to ALL of you.

Running an icontest community is quite time consuming, but every single one of you who has contributed (by entering, voting or just watching the community) has made it so worthwhile. This community and it's sister communities (sga_icontest and h50icontest) have been my happy place on LJ for so long.

I'll miss both the community and the friends I have made through it. It's going to be tough to let this place go.

All the best to you all.

Much love and humble thanks,
a_gal

 

Here you go everyone...
