Yeah, I remember being squeaky new, too. You want some SPN recs of places to hang here for the fandom? If yes, let me know and I'll send you some for both some good fics and some good journals and communities.
Considering you've only made six icons, and I've grabbed two of them and told everyone I know how brilliant you are, I'd say you've got a pretty good success ratio going thus far. :D
Good luck with the figuring out how to repost stuff here. I've had a hell of a time with the RTF editor AND the character length limits. They task me every time I post. There are searchable FAQs on most questions about how to do stuff under your "my lj" tab that I found to be VERY helpful on most every subject ... except how to get the RTF editor to quit screwing with me every time I have a line that ends italicized.
Big LJ thing (just a head's up, as it bit me when I was still squeaking), almost all the comms and stuff want you to post any long posts under a cut line, and it helps when you show up on people's friends pages, too. I don't always do it myself (on my journal, although I always do at the fic comms), but I sometimes get bitched at for that, too. And looks like you've already mastered that part of the game, which was a HUGE problem for me, so I think you're probably well in hand.
I'm friending. I'll look forward to your fic spams. If you want a good forum for those, you might want to check out the supernatural_fic community. They seem to be a clearing house for most of the SPN fic that hits the LJs.

Eep. Heh, cool. Daunting, but cool. :-) Graphics usually aren't my forte.

Hm. I don't think I get the RTF editor using Safari, just plain html/text. I have the beginnings of a cunning plan for re-posting, but I'll see if it's any good or not this weekend, probably. If you get a stream of twenty or so posts from me on the weekend, then it worked. If you get a stream of cursing from me, you'll know it didn't :-D

Yeah, that was one of the first things I looked up. I've done a little HTML stuff in the past, and it's a similar command structure, so that's cool.
I'll definitely be checking out supernatural_fic. Thanks!

If you do, it's just a single line under the input box that says click her to switch to the RTF editor. I didn't know it was there for some time, but once I found it, I started using it instead of the html. But if you've done html stuff a fair amount, you probably won't have the same kind of trouble remembering the coding for creating links and such.

LOL. Sounds like we are well suited friends. ;)
