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?

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? I think you feel that way because you are feeling more confident about your skills and because you are proud of the work you are doing. Plus it's hard to step back and objectively view your own work. Even when I know my a/w isn't my best work, I still think it should have gotten more votes.

That's why when I love an icon and it wins, (like the Allison Hannigan icon for btvs_hush) I'm super thrilled!! Even though I'm sometimes surprised an icon didn't win......I do know I can be delusional when it comes to my a/w. ~_^

I imagine this is going to a tough 20in20 round to vote for. I vow to vote for what I think is best though.

Believe it or not, I didn't vote for any of the icons that won this past round of OWL.
