I think I'm supposed to be posting the icons like this. And I think I'm allowed three submissions. And I hope no one who knows Latin is going to read these. *grins* All translations are VERY approximate and grammar is suspended for this post.

Modo egeo vivo. ("I want to be alive.")

Circumfundi vestra devotio. ("I'm under/surrounded by your spell.")

Cortinae and tempo amo. ("Oracles" and "I like time.")

If you use any of them, comment here and credit me in the keywords. Enjoy.

OK...we're gonna give this one more week. (until 5/13) Here's a few sites to help you all out:

Latin phrases, etc.
Text/translation
Also, there's a bunch of online translators out there...who needs perfect grammar, eh?

Challenge is an icon with LATIN text, entries in a new post, up to three icons per person.

It looks like we're going to be extending this competition, as well. So Icons are due next week Friday at 7 pm (central). The challenge is <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/community/no_english_joss/3052.html#cutid1>here</a> so keep working on those icons! I will try very hard to get some resources up, but this past week has been absolute chaos.

( Winners Behind Cut!Collapse )

Challenge #2:
Icons for Challenge 2 should contain some text in Latin!
I'll try to put up some links tomorrow for resources, but there's a ton of information out there on the web. A TON.
Rules
-Post your entry in a new post
-up to three icons per person (meaning you can do one from each of the three shows-Firefly, Buffy, and Angel. Not more than one from the same show, please!)
-Deadline will be April 30th, unless you hear from me again on the matter.

I'll also try to get banners up in the next few days, but unfortunately, I spent the day in the hospital with my grandfather and thus smell like icky medicine and need to remedy that before I do anything else.

Thank you to everyone who entered! And get making those icons!

Hi! I didn't know there was a challenge already.

Text is from two Italian songs.
The first is from a song called "Luce" by Elisa and it means I chose to be free.
The second is from "Un sole dentro al cuore" by Giorgia and it means I dream of dreaming.

Hello, hello! Our other mod is still in hibernation, so I've decided to go ahead and post the deadline. We've only got six members, but you can enter up to three icons, so we should be OK!

Deadline for the first challenge is Friday, April 22 at 7pm Central Time.

So get those icons made! They're looking great so far!

And be sure to let anyone you know who might be interested about the community...the more the merrier, right?

The first one is a song called "La Belle et Le Bad Boy" by MC Solaar. It is a French song and it means (aside from the English slang used).. The Beauty and the Bad Boy.
The second is from a song called Obsesion by Aventura. It's a spanish song and the lyrics mean Obsession: It's not love.

All comments on this post are screened, as its purpose is to acquire all things good and translaty. If you're one of the AWESOME people helping me out with Rules Translation, please put it as a comment here. And be forever thanked!

(Also, leave the name you want credited for Being Awesome(tm), whether that's your lj, icon lj, or whatever)

Whee, the first entries. Yay! ^^;;

Empiezo a recordar / I begin to remember (according to altavista and spanishlyrics.org) from "Desátame" Mónica Naranjo... don't ask me about any of this stuff, I've no clue ^^;;

I'm too lazy to make two more right now, so sorry, lol.

Just a quick reminder that lyrics can be represented without words... :D

Also, the contest will probably have to be extended for a while, until we get membership up. But it will remain the same, so you can go ahead and work on your icon! Isn't that nice?

Anyone who enters the first contest will get thanks in the info, as well as a link to their icon journal/equivalent (if desired). It's not a bribe...honest.

I shall update when we have ten members to repost the contest dates. So join! It'll be fun! I promise!

And remember you can enter up to three icons this time around (one from each show).

Hello and welcome! Please make yourself comfortable and have som hot cocoa. Or, you know, whatever your drink of choice is. I'll be your friendly moderator.

For the First Icon Challenge, we'll start off easy: Song Lyrics. Pick a song, any song (as long as it's not in English!) and slap those lyrics onto an icon. Any icon. Well, make a new icon for the challenge. Please include a translation of the lyrics, and let us know the artist/album.

You can post your entry in a new post. This challenge will be open until Friday, April 1st at 7:00 pm Central Time, unless you hear from me again. For this challenge, feel free to enter up to three icons, but no more than one from the same series.

Good luck! And thanks for helping start up this community! I think it'll be a blast.
