Forever Knight Icons and Artwork is an unmoderated LiveJournal group for posting (and requesting) fan-created icons and other artwork based on Forever Knight. The community was created on 13 January 2004 by darkravenette. As of January 2013, it has 58 members.
Competitions[]
Initially, Dark Ravenette intended the community as a place for people to compete by showcasing icons designed to weekly themes, with members voting on their favourites.
- The first contest (Jan. 13-18) had the theme, "Free Choice". It elicited five icons. The winner was created by dantes_prayer, with an icon by anukk in second place, and a second icon by anukk tied with one by slutbamwalla for third place.
- The second week's theme was "Dark Knight". Again, an icon from dantes_prayer came in first, with an icon by anukk in second place, while additional icons from the same artists tied for third place.
- The third week's theme was "Immortal Beloveds". Only two icons were entered, both by anukk.
- The fourth week's theme was "LaCroix". There was only one submission.
As a result of the evident lack of interest, Dark Ravenette decided to abandon the idea of running icon contests, and instead turned the community into a place for people to post any type of Forever Knight-related fan art.
Fan Art[]
The following fan artists posted icons (or links) to the community: zartherbes, daniidebrabant, dknightshade, tradgicyouth, midnightzstorm, agentxpndble, hystree, gweneth_syeira, Trys, and abby82.
Back-Up[]
On 11 April 2017, Melissa Treglia reported in her DW journal[1] that she had found 82 surviving icons on the FK Icons LJ community (i.e. ones that did not deadlink), and "rescued" them by putting them in a folder on her Photobucket account, subdivided by creator. There are six folders, respectively for icons by daniidebrabant, dknightshade, gweneth_syeira, hystree, midnightzstorm, and tradgicyouth.
