Wallpapers?
So I've been thinking about how there are people out there who make Magnificent Seven icons, but there are very few who also create larger sized graphics, such as banners/headers, collages and wallpapers.
The recent BigBang showed that very clearly. We had to open up artist sign ups for people who were participating as writers, and then on top of that, have the artists create art for two writers. All of them rose to the occasion, but it wasn't an easy task. I'd like to see more artists participate in the next BigBang - which we will hopefully have. (I'd also like to see fanmixers, but that's a whole 'nother topic.)
For that purpose I've created a comm, mag7wallpapers, and I'd like to invite all Mag7 fanartists to think about expanding to larger sized graphics - not necessarily wallpapers - and start posting in the comm. I intend to eventually post all my graphics there, to have them all in one location on Dreamwidth. There's nothing much there at the moment, but you're more than welcome to join. :)

I'll definitely keep the possibility of mirroring in mind, and maybe come up with some sort of way to make the wallpapers visible across both journaling sites, or maybe recruit someone who'd be maintain the mirror. Right now, I want to concentrate of getting this one off the ground. Feel free to prod me every once in a while to remind me of this issue, though!
If you don't mind my asking, what problems are you having with OpenID? I can look into the comm's settings and see if I can enable anonymous commenting so that non-members can interact with artists without having to jump through hoops.

I was also worried about whether there would be any traffic, but decided to go ahead with it anyway. I'd like to consolidate all the resources I use into one location, before I forget completely where I found what, and what I used for which wallpaper (that's already happened for quite a few of them). There's more freedom at Dreamwidth since there aren't many Mag7 comms over there, so i could justify creating one to myself. At the very least I can make some sort of a newsletter post to Clarion News, like a weekly review of newly-made graphics.

I'd love a comm just for the artists. I sometimes feel we're neglected. :(

I kinda know what you mean about feeling neglected, as so much focus seems to be on fan fic. Although that might be because the ratio between fic and graphics is so uneven.
