Quick Like A Bunny: Congrats to the winners of Otherworldlyrics - and, Time for 20in20 Votin'!

1) Many congrats to the winners of [livejournal.com profile] otherworldlyric challenge 180 [livejournal.com profile] pickamix and [livejournal.com profile] dragonydreams! I'm not sure I've ever said how much I love the color-matching [livejournal.com profile] dragonydreams does with her awards banners (buttons?) She makes the button look like a natural extension of the icon itself, and I envy appreciate that ability.

Full disclosure: I guessed the first place winner might be Megan's after I cast my vote because of it's wittiness and the perfect match of lyrics and image. I didn't guess who did the 2nd place winner - also Megan, as it happens. Girlfriend's got range. And if y'all have known me for at least five minutes, you know I DON'T CARE who made what or if I can guess according to style etc when I cast my votes. My love for someone, your friendship and kindness to me, has not now nor ever will win you a vote. I vote for the work. No apologies.

Challenge 181 has been extended a week, so you've still got time to come up with something to go with "Eye of the Tiger" and I am dying to see folks deconstruct that song or employ it ironically. Thrill me, people. I know you can do it.

Speaking of voting:

2) The voting posts for Round 3 of [livejournal.com profile] btvsats20in20 are up! Themes, Category (Magnifying Glass) and Artists Choice.

Full disclosure #1: I would actually vote for some of my own work this time, were it not my own work.

Full disclosure #2: I'm not telling anybody to vote for me VOTE FOR THE WORK but that said, I think my work is actually worthy of more votes than it's gotten so far darn it but you didn't read that here is that a horrible thing to think or am I really REALLY deluding myself here?

Full disclosure #3: I've decided to hold back any alts and extras, inclluding banner/poster-sized work from this set, until after the voting is over in the interest of fairness. I want you to judge the work I submitted without having the memory of other stuff influencing you for better or worse. And I will probably stick to that policy in future Sound ok?

Shiny! (And very difficult)


Right? there were one or maybe two that were relatively easy for me - most of them were kind of a nightmare in that "so much good stuff how can I choose?" way. Have you voted yet or are you letting it percolate overnight?

I already voted. I'm for the quick "just do it" style because if I think about it more I really won't choose.

I often end up having to think about it overnight; the times when I don't are the exceptions.

I think that if I had to vote a second time, I might choose differently because there were so many fine icons (AGAIN) It will only get worse I'm guessing in fall when more people are participating after summer break.
