Battles in general are just something a group of makers agree on. It can be anything. :)
A comment on the main post to which icons of scenes from the episode in question are posted in reply
That would work (and it would be the least work-intensive way for you to do it).
I have come up with three ways:
a) in comments of the review post
The downside here is they'll be hidden in the comments, but if you'd prefer them not cluttering up your review posts, I'd understand that. The advantage is that maybe the review will inspire people to make icons. (but nobody will see them unless we later make roundup posts again)
b) in the review post itself
If the icons should be added to the review post, we'd have to have a place where makers can submit them ahead of time. Like: we make a signup post where everyone who is interested can put their name and submit their icons. Make one thread for each ep. Screened submission. Then you'd just have to collect the submitted icons for the ep and add them to the review post.
c) run the battle separately
If neither of the above ideas appeal to you, we could make separate posts for the icons.
I honestly don't have the time to do weekly posts in sync with your review posts, though. So maybe I could make it 4 eps at a time or ... something like that? Icons just always look better in groups, anyway. :D
I can't decide which one I like best. The idea of having icons to post with the review is just so nice - like, everyone will immediately have icons to use from this episode if they so desire. But grouping them might look better, especially if we only have very few makers participating. Then just having two or three icons in the review post will just make the icons look sad and lonely. ;)
But everyone can always submit alts that are just listed at the bottom so they don't clutter up the presentation of the other icons.
But I don't know how many makers we even have. Maybe three or four? So not sure we need a limit. (Maybe gauging interest for the battle might be a good idea, too.)

What do you think?
limitations on number of icons?
Usually, series-battles have one icon per episode (and maker). E.g. see this Teen Wolf battle here: https://sucksucksmile.livejournal.com/385599.html.
But everyone can always submit alts that are just listed at the bottom so they don't clutter up the presentation of the other icons.
