HIATUS

Hi, my precious members. The lack of participation was very serious for the whole year of 2014; most of the challenges had to be extended, so we have decided to put the community on Hiatus. We will re-start the community for the "Care of Magical Creatures Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" movie in hopes that it will revive the

Oh I'm so sad to hear this. I just started tracking the comm in hopes of catching and participating in more challenges. :(

Hopefully it will come back stronger than ever when you restart it.

Sorry about that :( I was part of 4 other HP icontests challenge communities, and they are all on Hiatus for already a few years. The participation slowed down until it pretty much stopped, so I knew it would also happen here as well, eventually.

This community started on January 16 2005, so 10 years is quite decent. We'll see if some members will be interested to make icons with the upcoming movie...

Wow! I had no idea this comm had been going that long. I just recently found out about it!

[alexia_drake]

lol yeah, it's been active for that long, too bad you did not found it before.

Sad to hear this, this has been a fantabulous icontest staple for so long!
But here's hoping there might be a revival :)

And doh, I see hp_awards was put on hiatus in March 2014.
When bstg_icontest closed, we had a sort of best of the best
thing going in the end, bittersweet, but was a good sendoff.

Yeah, it is sad to put it on hiatus, but as I said, we will try to re-open for the "Care of Magical Creatures" movie.

Shows how often I come to LJ, right? Sorry to hear about the hiatus. Hopefully the new movie will rekindle interest. :)

lol Yeah, maybe :)
