Oh wow, these are all gorgeous. Lovely work!

Thank you so much! I LOVE the coloring on that icon you're using!

leucocrystal June 21 2008, 05:00:01 UTC

Thank you! It's by kellslawells, one of my favorite XF icon artists (who sadly doesn't make them anymore). She once made one icon for all 201 episodes, which inspired the i_episode community. :)

Dang, I'm looking through all of your userpics and I want to take all of them hahaha. I really need to revamp my entire userpics soon. I'm sick of everything I have, and I hate the way they're organized. Maybe tomorrow. I'm sure that I'll revisit your icon section when that time comes, haha. I wish I had the time to do that kind of thing! That's really cool. It seems like everything in fandom sprung from the X-Files at one time or another. :)

leucocrystal June 21 2008, 05:23:39 UTC

Heh, thanks! Not that I made many of them, but I've got an icon community of my own, so I feel you on wanting to be more organized. At the moment I'm one space shy of filling up all my icon space, and this saddens me greatly!

soonersurrender June 21 2008, 05:33:04 UTC

But the ones you made are pretty too!! And you have great taste in the other ones! So compliments all around! I don't have any space at all! :( THIS IS WHY I NEED TO RE-DO THEM!

Also, lol, since I'm feeling incredibly chatty tonight, when I got your last email, I totally noticed that I downloaded a few Californication episodes from you, like, yesterday! I still have the e-mail with the rar password sitting in my inbox. And I noticed that the s/n is the same. Craziness! Thank you for the epis, btw. I said thanks already, but I'm officially hooked on that show now, too. :)

leucocrystal June 21 2008, 05:34:43 UTC

Aww, thank you! :) I'm constantly trying to rotate out old ones and upload new ones, but I get weirdly attached to them and just want more space, lol.

Oh nice! I'm very glad you're liking it. I'll be uploading it to that community once S2 starts airing, too. It was my favorite new show last year, definitely.

soonersurrender June 21 2008, 05:39:50 UTC

I do too! I don't even USE most of mine, but I'm always afraid that as soon as I delete them, I'll need them!

See, when I finished XF I was like, "WHAT NOW?". And then I was like "Risque DD!" I've always been interested in the show. Always meaning, as long as its existence, which is not long. Hah. My flist really seemed to enjoy it. I was afraid that it would be a little too gratuitous. I was SO surprised to find out how smart and funny and heartbreaking and awesome it is. I'm very impressed.

leucocrystal June 21 2008, 05:45:24 UTC

Heh, exactly. I love my icons, dammit!

Are you relatively new to XF too, then? I've been watching for so many years, it's been a lot of fun seeing droves of new fans pour in, especially since the XF2 announcement back on Halloween. But it is surprisingly good, isn't it? I was so pleased that the show I'd been looking forward to since late July last year exceeded my expectations.

soonersurrender June 21 2008, 05:52:53 UTC

I am! I'm a baby! I always knew that I'd like it, but I've also always been scared of the hugeness of it. The fandom is giant, and 9 seasons is a lot to stomach along with coursework. The prospect of the movie finally got me to give it a shot, though. And to think I'd once imagined going through all 9 seasons as a daunting chore-like thing. I must have been insane! I'm kind of kicking myself now for being so silly about it! I'm sure that it's really amazing from the viewpoint of an older fan of the show, to see it coming back the way it is. I'll know what that's like the day they make Serenity 2. Yes, I dream. :)

leucocrystal June 21 2008, 08:15:20 UTC

Yeah, it's definitely intimidating. A while back my friend elapses and I put together a "primer" of sorts for new fans or people who were curious, with 10 episodes we picked and the Pilot. It was so much fun!

And hey, I love Firefly, too! ;)

soonersurrender June 21 2008, 21:48:21 UTC

Oooooo that would have been helpful back in the day, lol. That's a really good idea!

Hahaha, how could anyone not? It's genius! Even though it's been a while, I didn't get into it until after Serenity, so I missed all of that excitement. I think the movie came out my first year of college. IDK but it was soon after that that my roomie got me hooked on it. :)

leucocrystal June 21 2008, 23:30:33 UTC

You're welcome to check it out if you're curious which ones we picked (though by way of warning: it's a big picspam, so it might take a while to load!). :)

I missed all that excitement too, but I still love the show like crazy.
