I hope there are still spaces available when you open it up.

This turned out to be a very popular one. Since there is only one of those boxers that I've added (because they pre-requested) left to add an LTC, I'll open it up on Friday. I got a lot of additional requests today to be added, but I decided to just open it up (on Friday) instead of adding these people. Keep checking back on Friday afternoon.

If this one fills up quickly after that then I'll create another one preferring lower-case letters. What do you guys think, should I make it due the same time or a few (one or two) months later?

No matter what you want, please don't request to be added to this second one. Managing this first one was doable, but the second one (when created) will be open from the beginning. That is, I won't be doing pre-requested letters.

And thanks to everyone for being so enthusiastic about this LTC tracker.

If you want to, after the tracker fills all the way up, you could keep a "waiting list" in your own notes section of your own profile.

I may, but that was already a lot to keep track of when I made this first Illuminated Letters tracker. It wasn't unmanageable, but it seemed too much for the result. I'll decide when I make the tracker.

Also, the Illuminated Letters tracker is now open to all. The last one reserved has picked their letter, so it is now a free-for-all. Please form an orderly queue. It will fill up fast.

It is now full. Sorry if you wanted to get in but didn't. However, someone may drop out, so I've left it "open" even with it full.

If there is enough interest I'll start another preferring lower-case letters. If I do it then it will be due in October or November. If you're interested in such a tracker, vote "interesting". The other buttons will have their normal meanings.

If I get enough quick interest then I'll start it right away. If not, then I'll try again in a few months. You'll even be able to join this "Illuminated Letters (LC)" tracker even if you've joined the first one.

People might have trouble finding illuminated lower-case letters, since historically, only the first letter on a page was illuminated, often times only the first letter of the first page of each chapter.

Very good point. If they are getting clip art, then it will be difficult to find.

However, if you want to do lower-case then you'll have to be more creative and make something up. Start with an upper-case letter and modify it, filling in the fancy parts where you had to remove part of the letter. Definitely more difficult, but something I'd like to see. We've got a lot of creative people here, so I think that we could get some fun interpretations.

Besides, even the upper-case letters don't have to be clip-art. Just look at some of the examples and make up your own. For instance, "A" could be the letter with an apple tree in the background. The apples would be red, the leaves green and the letter some other color (but could be green as well). Throwing even a little bit of creativity into the coloring of the letter will be fun.

It's actually very good that you bring this up. It's rather uncommon for people to do their own images (at least in the swaps I've been in). So, reminding them that this is an option is good. :)

I love LTCs...... I LOVE original art LTCs. They don't have to be fancy, it is just fun to me to get to know people by seeing what they come up with.
