Icon Meme #2
stellar_raven has put up a 2nd icon meme and asked for contributors. I am absolutely not doing that avoidance thing where you are supposed to be writing!
The meme is:
1. Reply to this post and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR ICONS!

This is actually part of a set of ten that I made for one of those land challenge things and it's a useful happy one of Merlin. I think they had to have some sort of texture on them and I took a few pretty space ones from spacealtie (doesn't seem to be an LJ user). Here are the rest of them - I'm using some but not all:
This one is also part of a set. There are a group of Merlin fans who were all on chatzy back in about 2014 and the lovely dylogger made us all individual user icons. This one is a frog in sunglasses and represents me. It's a frog because I wrote a Merlin big bang called The Frog Prince and it's wearing sunglasses and has a cigarette because it's supposed to be cool. I am not cool. However I am very snarky which I think is where that aspect comes from! *g*
The Dorset Knobs icon... Yes, fififolle made this one. This came from a conversation with celeste9 who got a little obsessed with the idea of Dorset knobs. (These are a round hard biscuit thing - there are knob tossing contests and things. There is a fic somewhere with links but I can't find it - would have been back in 2013 and it's not as well tagged back then as I would like). Anyway, there is all the info you might need here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-50040129
The lovely deinonychus_1 made this. I can't recall anything about it - it might have been part of an icon contest. Anyway, it is a fine icon and has obvious uses. That's Connor from Primeval on it, who is her favourite.
This one is entirely mine. It's a picture that I took some years ago while a friend and I were on a touring holiday of Finland. This was taken from the passenger seat of our hired (enormous) car as we were driving along. The roads up in the north of Finland (I think by this stage we were on the edge of the Arctic circle) were so empty and beautiful.
That's it. I think that's my part done unless anyone wants me to pick icons (I know stellar_raven does! *g*)
