Well hi there!

[goodbyebird]

There's thankfully a lot more canon queer characters to go around these days. I figured maybe an icontest that gives them the spotlight would be a good addition to the community.

Rules
+ Anyone can run a challenge here, though only one challenge should be active at a time, outside of voting.
+ Whoever runs the challenge will supply HQ caps. Caps should be hosted on Dreamwidth, so they're likely to stay up.
+ Canonical queer characters only. F.exa. while Jackie is strongly queer-coded on Yellowjackets, it is not confirmed, unlike Taissa, Vanessa, and Coach Scott.
+ The challenge screencaps should feature all main queer characters from the fandom you pick.
+ Open to tv, movie, videogame, and comic characters.
+ Entries to a challenge should go in a new post to the community.

If you'd like to run a challenge, please sign up in the comments =)

I've been wanting to make a community like this for a long time, but never really committed for the lack of time (and because I'm lazy lol). Thank you for doing this and I hope this goes well and can't wait to enter the first round, even though I haven't watched Yellowjackets yet (it's been on my watchlist for a long time)!

Also I'd like to sign up for the next challenge with 9-1-1

[itsanonyx]

Thanks for the invite. <3

[dandelionblizzard]

Thank you for the invite :)

[lavenderspark]

Thanks for the invite, I just got PaintShop on my laptop so I can actually make icons again!

[innocuously]

Thank you for the invite! I'd love to run a challenge for the movie Bottoms, which has many canonical queer female characters! :)

[sietepecados]

I could make one with Fellow Travellers in July if anyone would be interested :)

[tinny]

Since I'm trying to participate here more often, I could also run a round, I think? July 29th sounds good for me. I could do KinnPorsche if that's okay?

[wickedgame]

I'd like to sign up for Aug 26 with Young Royals :)

[sietepecados]

I could do the Sense8 one in September :)

[wickedgame]

I'd like to sign up for Oct 7 with Elite :)

[hexmix]

think i'd like to try signing up to run a challenge. it's not up yet, but i could do the next one in October (the 21st, i think?), for Alma/The Girl in the Mirror, a spooky show for spooky month c:

(i'm a little worried about going with something probably no one has heard of however, so if you think it'd be better i can switch to something else!)

[luvbarryfefe]

Do the caps all have to come from the same episode? (I am making my own using your suggestion)

I would like to host an icon challenge for The Young and the Restless canon queer characters Mariah and Tessa if possible.

[wickedgame]

I'd like to sign up with "Good Trouble" for Nov 18 :)

[impala_chick]

I could do 9-1-1 Lone Star for Dec 30?
