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. :)

Was mag7fans a discussion comm? I think that might have been before my time. I just remember when I first joined LJ, that was where I made all of my M7 posts.

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.

I... think it was? there are discussion tags. OK, but that doesn't have to mean it was meant to be solely a discussion comm. Don't know!
