tardis_icons challenge #18 is over, so I can now reveal what I entered:
This is what I entered in the "screencaps" section:

And this is what I entered in the "open" section, where the theme this time was "monochrome":


I caused myself stupid pain by looking at the poll results as they were happening, and noticing that nobody was voting for me. Though in the end, I think I got one vote in a couple of sections. And one person actually voted for my "Smug" doctor as their favourite monochrome, so I guess I should be sort of happy.
The thing that gets me is how ugly some of the favourite entries were! (Though fortunately, the nicer ones did win most sections) Am I wierd for liking things which have simplicity and line, not lots of busy boxes?
Maybe I should just give up trying to fathom the taste of iconeers, drop that community and forget it.
Doubly frustrating: the theme for the current open challenge is "emotions", and one of the monochrome ones I did for last time would fit it quite well (the Suki: Fear one) but I presume it's disqualified because it's already been posted in my LJ. (sigh)
